Had Effects of the Drought.

The drought of the past month has
caused fires of the most destructive char
acter in different sections of the country III
this part of the State. We learn that at
the Forks and Wenle Stations, on the
Central Road, acres Of wood and meadow
lands are on fire, aud the devouring ele-
ment is constantly spreading. The Lock.
port Journal states that in tho town OF
Hartllnd, Niagara County, fires have been
raging for several days along the roads,
burning tho parched grass and dry stubble
fields, laying waste large tracts OF laud, aud
destroying a large amount OF gram, besides
threatening the destruction OF numerous
outbuildings. In other parts OF Niagara
County fire has destroyed considerable
property. Throughout the western part OF
the State, particularly along the lho of tue
Erie r lilway, mnoh damage has been done
by fire. 1t is hoped that tho slight fall Of
rain yesterday will have n tendency to pre-
vent further sproa Of these fires ; for, if
they should continue, tho ddntse to prop.
