RAINS, THE CRoPs, &C.-As we have Lad
succession after succession of rains. with
very slight intermissions, in Plymouth and
vicinity, ''since the time whereof the
memory OF man runDeth not to tie con-
trary''-almost, many of our people are of
the opinion that The windows CT heaven
are elevated, aiar. in fact, wide open, and
that there is nobody up there CROUCH in
terested in our welfare TO put them down.
But then as rains fall upon the just and
unjust alike, we may console ourselves
with the fact that others are getting lcet-
ted as well as we.
Many theories have been set afloat as 10
the cause OF the super-abundance of rains
prevailing throughout the northwest,
some at,ributiug it 10 the approach of the
great eclipse of the 9Th proximo. We can
conceive no reason why the coming
eclipse should produce an effect different
from that produced by former like eclp>
scs, and as We have 10 knowledge on
record or any former one producing ex-
cessive rains, we cannot agree with the
eclipse theorists. Having no rain guage
We cannot state the amount Of rain that
has fallen; but know that it is
largely in excess Of ordinary seasons.
Nearly al. that has been written on this
subject by the savants is very unsatisfac-
tory. 1t has been Gscertained that the
mean annual quantity OF rain that falls
ia this region IL not far from 40 inches.
Therefore il We should have whole
years fall of rain on the ground at one o.
