The DrOuth at the East.

There is great suffering in the
Eastern States at this time in con-
sequence of the drouth. The Boston
Journal of Chemistry, for August, says
on this subject:
at is seldom drouth SO severe is
felt in this section in June and July
as has been experienced this season.
Our hills are bare and brown; our
brooks have dried up, aud springs
cease to bubble from the earth; our
herds of cattle find scanty heritage in
the field, and corn brought from the
prairies of the West is fed to them
freely over large part of New Eng
land. Our hay crop will be a scanty
one; but corn which withstands drouth
remarkably, does not yet seem to suffer
seriously. All the different varieties
Of fruits have been injured by the
absence of rain, but still there is much
to be thankful for We shall have
enough of the products Of mother
earth, so that when the time-honored
festival of Thanksgiving Day comes
round in November, we shall not pass
it by and refuse to obs erve it "
