passed was in this city of London in the month of
July, eighteen hundred and fiftv-nine You cannot
yet have forgotten how cold and wet the month of
June was with US; but have arrived at ENGLAND

confirming an impression gathered on nv former
VISIT the same degree of heat is more oppressive
IN England than in America, owing to the dampness
and heavness of the English atmosphere. Nor is
the change from day to night so marked as with us

HEAVY THUNDER STORM-Great Loss of Properfu,
On Thursday evening last we had a very heavy
thunder storm and fine shower of rain The rain
we needed very much, as vegetation of every kind
began to look very much withered. During the
storm the barn of Mr.. Joseph R. Price, on his farm
near theresidence of Col. VIM. Hayward was struck
and was quickly enveloped in flames. The fire soon
communicated to the surrounding out-buildings and
stack yard, and all were soon in ashes. Wheat
machines and farming implements of every kind
were consumed. He had just finished machining
ms wheat and some eight hundred thousand
pusnes was in the barn at the time, but owing to
tne rapldity of the flames not more than fifty or
sixty bushels were saved. We have not heard the
amount OF damage, but If none of the wheat can
oe saved from the ruins Mr. Prices loss must be
