more than a month-the mercury, IN the
meantime ranging from &c to 90 deg, IN the

preesive season for several years. Most Oh
the gardens are burnt up, past recovery.
The most serious effect OF tue drought, he"
ever, has been Upon the growing crops Of
oats. A more cheering prospect TOR an un'
usually large yield cf this useful crop, than
was presented month ago, we never Wit
messed in this vicinity. But the dry weather
came upon it wheu it was in full bloom, aud
the consequence is, that, while there Will lie
an unprecedented yield Of straw, the grain
is imperfeCty matured and exceedingl " iight.
The crop will therefore ne coparalVely Of
little value az food for stock.
The dry weather, however, while II mas
proved so destructive to the oats and garden
