FAIRFAX G.. e., July 26.-Our usually SOM

his guilt; the theft was of a fragrant and seri-

that we have some who almost begin to thlDk

The Southern portion OF our county was 7lsl-

last night about 10 O clock The fodder will
have been effected by it considerably, but the
corn is too young to have suffered any N the

Gust trees which adorned our village once, with
their magnificent foliage, now sadly decayed by
the cravings Of the canker-worm OF time, as
also of the mules and horses, for which they
served as picket-posts during the late little
scrimuages, were still further denuded by this
storm One or two Of them Laid down their

which almost all engaged, and which lasted all

for their freedom!' They had, to use the Ian
