TIE DRoUru AT TIE wEr.-The Hannibal
Messenger Of May says that tho weather Is
becoming fearsally dry throughout the western
country. Water Is becoming quite IN object
along the line Of the railroad, and dust rises In
clouds. No rain Of any consequence has fallen
at st. Joseph since last winter. The wells and
cisterns have nearly oil dried up, and the Mis-
souri, river looks as though Il might follow suit.
The grass IN the yards and pastures has been
parched to crisp, and tufned Q yellowi,h col
or, resembling the decay Of Autumn. The
leaves on the trees, too, are stunted, and not
more than onc-fourth their usual sine ut this
season. Nor docs the drouth stop there, but
extends throughout Kansas and Nebraska, and
To Fort Benton, In the Rocky Mountains. A
party Of tappers and mountaineers arrived at
StJoscph the Thursday previous, from the head
waters Of the Missouri, and stated that tho
drouth on to Fort Benton was unprecedented.
There had been no rain In that section for over
twelve weeks, and but little snow. The Mis-.
