beneficial agricultural organization in
the State. But as it cannot give exhibit

penses and publish its reports. 1t gets
just about enough from this source to do

purposes. 1t has provided a Board of

ORWELL

Having been absent from town a
few weeks, the fine pleasant autumnal
days made me forget the continuous
rains which have crossed the Adiron-
dacks; and almost daily for three months
have given us. as if in real spite. a down
right thorough drenching. Everything
is dripping wet.
There is a great deal of grass which
is uncut yet, and a great deal of second
crop which might be cut had we weather
suitable for curing it. There are doubt
less hundreds of tons which will not be
cut this season. Much of it stands in
water now.
The potato crop will be light, be-
cause of the rot. In some fields two
thirds of the crop have already begun to
decay. But we have an abundance in
some directions.
A bunch of red raspberries were
handed me Yesterday, picked on Mr.
Benson's farm, as ripe and delicious rs
those raised in June. So You see there
