gage in other pursuits, in which the
profits are not so disproportioned to

TAG GREAT RAIssoF i356-The amount
of ruin that has allen over a large portion of
the United Stafes in six eeks.rnnning from
the let Of May 10 the I2tli OF June, has
scarcely q pafallei. The Pittsburg Journal
has given this subject considerable attention
aud SAYS that the average of observations
will give about ten inches in May, and Eve
6nehest TO the 4 thsoeJ June, or fifteen inches
in ferey-three days. Tisse rains do not ap-
spear to have been local, but extend east and
west az least one thousand miles, and Rerth
end south one half that Distance. No Won
der the newspapers are full of a~ccossts OF
.rains, Goods, and disasters. Fully one-third
sof the average ofthe rains of this year have
been crowded into six weeks. Fbe Missis-
1sippi and is tributaries might well appvar
'to threaten q young Nuacbian deinge. No
such rains have been experienced since the
exetseason in May, 1855, and then they
were not condensed into SO small a space al
time. 1t is said that some rain cages show
ed four and a half inches OF rain on the
q hh and 18th of June alone. What the
cause of these tremendous rains have been
we are not able to say. There is hardly q
doGbt but that We will either have an equiv
alsat amount of dry weather, or else some
otheF distriet Of the globe is parched forwant
Of water. The remarkable fact that the an
uuaI fall of rain is so nearly equally balanced
sets at defiance all our notions of wet aud
dry seasons, though portions of the year are
extremely wet on dry.
