THE RAIS Last evening the rain came down
in refreshing and plenteous showers. The
whole face of nature was changed at once, and
animated nature seemed to join in the general
rejoicing. The rain in this meridian was co.
pious; the psrched earth was thoroughly soak
ed, and the hopes of the living masses were
strengthened for the future Of the season and
its products.
We conversed with several farmers in market
this mornrng about the rain, the crops, and
hopes, DC to- in dulged reasonably about tn,
late crops. They agreed that the rain was
priceless blessing; that the late corn. potatoes
the turnips, beans, pumpkins, buck y heat, pas
ture, etc would receive new life, and fresl
impetus; and that they would doubtless take
new start and turn out well wherever the rail-
visited them We hope their calculations ma,
be fully met; as they are based upon reas ma
bic and philosophical data, we believe the
will
