Amount of rain since Jan. 1st, II, 2O.7i in's.
The amount Of rain in the different months
of the present year is as follows
January, l.5G inches; February, 3.O0 ;
March, 337; April, 2.37; May, 3.7i; June,
l.ji; July, 4.G7, making 90 Il inches. An
error occurred in the report ofhe metcorooEy
for June, which is here corrected.
The long and parching drought, that has
been SO severely felt in this part Of the State
for the past year has been relieved by copious
and refreshing rains, and vegetation is begin
ming to wear a fresher and deeper green
During the month of July there was an unusu-
al number of rainy days, though the amount of
rain has been but little more than the average
monthly amount. There was nearly one inch
fell on the 9th, 10th, and 18th, and some more
than that on the 18th and the four following
days but the greatest amount for the time fell
on the 3Oth and 3lst. All the other storms
were very light.
Thunder storms occurred on the 9th, 1lth,
18th, 27th. 2Sth, 20th and 30th, and in some of
these the electrical display was very brilliant.
AurOras were seen on the goth. 2lst and 22ud,
that on the 2lst being extremely beautiful
At few minutes before ten O'Clock brilliant
crimson arch was formed in the northwest
inclosing a very dark segment between the
arch and the horizon. Streamers shot up from
the arch above, increasing in length and
brightness from the extremitics of the arch to
the center The whole arch with the stream
ers and dark segment, moved steadily towards
the northeastern sky, when it faded away to a
nebulous light which soon entirely disappeared
A large and brilliant meteor was seen on tho
evening of the l4th, n few minutes before ten
o'clock, 1t was first seen in the east about 80
degrees above the horizon, and was moving
towards the north. 1t was visible nearly ten
seconds, and was of reddish color, and left a
trail of blush light along its path that was
visible short time after the meteor itself had
disappeared.
An earthquake shock was distinctly felt on
morning of the goth, at ten minutes before one
o'clock. 1t was separated into two shocks by
an interval of ono or two seconds, the whole
occupying fifteen or twenty seconds. The
lateral vibrations were in a northerly and
southorly direction, but its progressive motion,
if it had one, has not yet been determined, as
but few would observe the time at that hour Of
the night with sufficient precision.

TIE Presidents Message.

All should read the message of Presi-
dent Grant, covering the report of the
San Domingo Commissioners. From what
ever point of view it is looked at, it will
be regarded by all honest men as re-
markable vindication of the course and
action of the President on the question of
annexation.
BY the combined Democratic press and
by neutral journals of the Tribune variety,
he has been charged with all sorts of un.
natural offenses against the peace and law
of both countries He has been arraigned
for the practice of Simony in its most out
rageous forms for selling his official opin-
ion for side hill lots in SANTANA Bay for a
tyranical and bullying attitude toward
Hayti, and usurpation of legislative au-
thOrity; in the insolent language of Mr.
Sumner, for "crimes with which the
crimes of Andrew johnson were white in
comparison" The report of the Commits
sioners-no tools of his, but gentlemen
widely distinguished for wisdom and in
tegrity-completely exculpates and exon
crates him from all these base partisan al
legations. 1t proves that they were
malicious libcls invented by scoundrels fol
the purpose of blackening the fair repu
tation of man whose night arm did more
tnan tnaL OF any OIner bOiuler 10 save INT
nation in its mortal peril. These shame
less ISLANDERS fall harmless and empty nov
at the feet of the fabricators who Launched
them.
The message itself is a document of rar
interest. The President declares that a
his own integrity is vindicated, he has nc
further recommendation. 1t is still hi
personal belief that annexation is desira
BILE; that it would save Dominica iron
anarchy, and give to this republic valua
BILE colonial tributary; but he refers tn
whole matter to the peoples more imme
diate representatives, and suggests that
may be better to postpone its further con
sideration until next winter, when it ma.
be again, and, perhaps, more calmly dis
cussed by "that tribunal" in the languag
of the President, whose convictions s
seldom err, and against whose will hav
no policy to enforce" And he adds, in
sententious apothegm, which will pas
into political literature with his other cul
rent proverbs, II have ever believed tha
all men are wiser than any one man.
