THE WEATHER.

We have had quite showery week,
large quantities. of rain have fallen, at
short intervals, but it came down so
gently that no harm was done, though
the bottoms in some localities may be a
little under water. The weather now
promises to be clear for a while-all
vegetable matter seems to be prospering
fnely-the wheat has come. out well,
and the large quantities of corn, though
planted at late season, give promise,
with seasonable weather, of most a.
bundant crop. Large quantities of Sor-
ghum have been planted, and the gar
dens in this section seem never before
to have received so much attention.
The general prospect is quite hattering;
and if our farmers will only be allowed
to reap what they have sown, the pos
sibaity of starvation will be as unlikely
as Yankee success in an con to Rich
