Since the prodigious rainfall on saturday Au.

has fallen in this State. On that occasion rain
descended increasingly for eighteen hours, raising
the streams, tearing up the roads and deuging the
fields. On the 9th there was slight rain, when
the clouds lifted, and since there has been almost
uninterrupted clear, dry weather The streets
and highways here and throughout the State have
been prollnc sources OF annoyance from Dust
which could not be laid. Growing crops have felr
It's effects, though corn had become so far advanced
as TO bid defiance to Its blight. Pasture lands
everywhere are brown and sere. Wells are be.

Thus far the water supply OF this city holds out
but unless rain visits US soon IL must be Affected
Already IN Bridgeport, Norwak and Stamford is
short supply anticipated. The sources IN each
OF these cities are OF . character to withstand
an ordinary drain but II the present condi-
tons continue there must be Inconvenience.
AS usual, farmers are putting in their winter
