FAIRFAX Co., Aug. 20. Never was a good
rain more welcome than that of last night.
Tho late corn, potatoes, and garden vegetables
were suffering for rain, but will now be revived
and materially benefited. The crop OF corn IN
this section cannot be full one, while the same
complaints made throughout the State OF the
poor yield Of wheat, from the quantity OF straw
harvested hold good here also. Oats are light
in quality. This partial failure of the crops IS
to be regretted--the farmers need q large sur
plus from which, or its proceeds, to re-stock
and repair their farms and fencing, 10 buy rem
ovsters by which means alone they can be res
tored to the success of days Of yore in their
operations. u.. ....
improvements, Notwithstanding the times,
are noticeable in every section OF this county !;
new buildings going up, old ones repaired, len
cling repaced, and the marks OF the late war
being RAPIDLY wiped out. In q late visit to the

fitted. The large hotel, late the property OF
Mr.. Hoag, now owned by Col. Henry Tyler,

much to it's appearance. The hotel is literally
patronized, being crowded with boarders to Its
utmost capacity, and is kept in style not sur
