DISTRESSING DRouGMT1N VIRGINIA.
Great ,Scarcityof JYater and Bread.
"A gentleman from Sussex county,
Va, one Of the most reliable in the
county, represents to the Petersburg
Express u rather alarming state Of
things, as existing in that section. In
some parts Of the county, especially
near Coman's Well, they have been
without rain for weeks, and the effects
upon tho corn is truly lamentable.
The same, says the informant, is the
case in the vicinity of Cabinet Point,
Surry. :
In many places VIC regret to hear that
the farmers, despairing Of gathering
an amount Of corn that will repay for
tho trouble, have cut down the stalks,
in the hope of making fodder. In other
places, even though the most drenching
rains were now to fall, not more half
the usual quantity could be realized.
Garden vegetables have also withcrcd
beneath The rays of the Sun, and never
failing streams have ceased to run.
leaving their beds dry and parchcd.-
"A manv neigbhorhoods, too, the wells
are fast failing, and many entertain Sc
rious apprehensions that man and beast
will suffer for wstcr, uslcss speedily re-
lievcd.
The Richmond cores ondcnt Of the
Express says the drought has become
matter for serious consideration, and
gloomy anticipations are INDUCED in
by tho agricultural community in the
cnyirons of Richmond. Accounts from
the country inform us of state of
things almost unprecedented. Streams
have dried, and the people experience
much difficulty in getting their corn
ground into meal. The steam corn
mill of Mr.. VIM. N. Bragg, at Mil ford
Depot, Caroline CO., has, in this emer-
gency, furnished facilities to the inhab
itants for twenty miles around The
water power had failed, and many
families were for weeks without meal.
My informant says that they had to
resort to potatoes to supply the lack of
bread.

Singular Incident.

An Limos paper remarks that among
tho peculiar incidents connected with
tho present season, is the fact that tho
bees have not increased. No hive in
that section has swarmed. This is at
trlbuscd to the wet weather, which has
deprived them of their usual pasturage
and in many places they have merely
sustained life by having access to cult
waited fioMers. Large numbers are
supposed to have died through actual
starvation. Blossoms on the bottoms
and low grounds have been almost en-
tlrely destroyed; those on the trees
were washed off by the rains, or blasted.
while in only n few instances, has the
wild or cultivated rose come to pcrfec.
ton. Under these circumstances, the
yield of honey is likely to be very small.
a WORKING EDITOR. The follow
ing is from the Florida Home Com.
pdnton ;--"During the last three weeks
the editor of this paper has set all the
types, madc up the forms, worked press,
folded the papers, and mailed them,
and attended to all his editorial duties,
besides experimenting the getting ont
Of timbcrs and shingles for two houses,
putting up 22o feet of paIings, and re-
gularly conducting the business of

we have nearly had our hands full
Whew; how hot it is. i"
The GRASsHoPPERs Tho Trenton
State Gazette says: "Grasshoppers
arc doing great injury to the grass
and buckwhcat in this county. In
some districts, the second crop of clio.
yer is entirely destroyed, the field look
ing bare and brown rs if moving ma
chine had passed over them, cutting
the grass lose to the ground. One
farmer who had thirty acres of clover,
from which he expected week or two
ago to gather full crop of seed, in.
forms US that he will rot have hand
ful--the whole tract having been liter
ally devoured by these pests, which
swarm in myriads in every field. We
have also heard Of several instances
where tho young buckwhcat has been
eaten off and destroyed. They COM
mence at the edge Of the field and cat
everything as they 60, and if we do
not have q heavy rain or something else
to drive them of, late pasture will be
