SAND FLIES IN CHICAGO. Immense nun.
bers. of sand flies suddenly appeared in
Chicago on Monday evening Of last week.
Many ssloons we're compelled TO close in
order TO prevent their ingress. Wherever

windows 50 as to render it almost an i'm.

!. STORMS AND CRuPs IN EUROPE. Our latest
English papers chronicle the close, in the
south Of England, OF the long continued
drought. Heavy thunder showers fell in
the region oi London on the llth and l2lh,
bringing rather tardy but still welcome re-
lief. Barley, oats, turnips, and nearly all
kinds OF winter fodder had suIiered severely

damage than might have been anticipated.

general aspect.of the harvesis from being
gratifying.
