The weather has been very delightful
for the past week. and every thing seems
to take = new start, excepting grass,
which seems TO be almost entirely dead in
fields where it was cut snug. The drought
and u formidable army of grasshoppcrs
will make the fall feed poor. Unmatured
grain has been cut. 10 escape the ravages
ofgrasshoppcrs. Trees and orchards are
completely stripped of their leaves in
some cases. The water is so low that il
is not expected that much grain will be
lhreshed at the mill. Roads are poor
this way; in many places being as the
heavy rains left them. Trains run daily
on the p. & o. C. r. r., carrying freight
and passengers to and from Mechanic
Fails. Men are at work on the road and
the passenger car is being repaired. we
hope TO be put in running order soon.

The recent severe drought has injured
fam crops materially. The hay crop is
at least one third less than last year. but
is Of superior quality. Corn, beans and
potatoes will DC light. many pieces on
light soil. being about spoiled. Grain
will also be very light indeed. The
apple crop is the only exception to the
rule of light crops that will be the largest
we have had for many years, and they
arc very fair and free from worms.

Political matters are very quiet indeed !;

rag upon one end Of the bench.
In the afternoon / finished the other

TO oil them, when to my surprise | found

Latest from the War.

After the heavy fighting reported last
week, which resulted fayorably for the
Prussians. there has been q lull Of few
days, the victorious army requiring il rs
much rs their opponents. to gather up
their forces. But with such armies facing
each othcr-one flushed with victory
renewed and sanguinary conflicts might
be daily looked for, and on Sunday, the
18th, an attack was made, and two bat.
ties fought near Metz. The French were
surprised in crossing the river, but it is
reported that no decisive victories were
achieved. The Prussians claim victory
under the walls of Metz the next day,
i'm which the French were driven into the
city with a loss OF 1000.

of the season, was enjoyed By the South

delighted company, there came yelling
up, God bless the Band" Their fine APP

this voluntary contribution to our hap
