THE RAIN Of yesterday, last night, and to-
day have gladdened the hearts of many thous-
ands within the distance of hundred miles of
the Federal Metropolis In all that scope of
country! all growing crops have suffered, more
or less, from the drought that has prevailed
for month past-the forward corn, and the
vegetable gardens especially. Immediately
around US the "season" has been a sufficient
one to enable the crops to do well for a fort
night or more without another shower; and we
trust that Providence has been equally as
bountiful to all agriculturists elsewhere who
have suffered under the effect of the drought.
