IN GENERAL.
The middle sta ties report a most serious
drouth, running late crops and the fall grazing.
The same reports come from Ontario, where
there has been no rain for nearly three months,
in consequence of which cattle are starving.
In Ontario very destructive forest fires are re-
ported, together with the destruction of farm
buildings. In New Jersey forest fires have
occasioned considerable loss.
There is no news of importance the past
week from the Indians. 1t does not appear
that the fears of the Kansas people are real
lied. Gen. Miles reports that the Indians now
raiding are we'll armed.
Two members cf the Executive Council have
been comforting with the witnesses in the case
OF Louis Wagner at Portsmouth, N. HI.
A Boston despatch says there is not an ac-
cumuation of cotton goods in the country, but
on the other hand, if the stock was distributed
there would be an absolute scarcity.
Several destructive fires are reported this
week, viz: Pittsburg, Reese & Onens pork
packing house, loss $4,000; Harrington, N. H.,
shoe factory and other buildings, loss 1000;
Harrisburg, Iowa, Watson & Fernald's flour
ing mill, loss $4,000; Cornwall. Ont, a lot of
fine mills, loss $25O,000
There is some question about gold at the
Black Hills At least the scientific men with
the expedition assert that Gen. Custer did not
himself see any gold. At any rate the Indians
won't sell the land.
A great stallion race took place at Mystic
Park, Boston, Tuesday, for $4,000 1t is esti

DOVER, Sept. 10.
The drought is severely felt in this section OF
the State, and hard times are predicted by many.
The season has turned ont very different from
what was expected in the spring. Then the
wheat presented a fine appearance AMI an extra
crop was predicted. When harvest came. how
ever, the actual yield was scarcely up to the
average. Then the price went down 10 low that
the crop will hardly pay expenses.
The peaches, although there are 30 few OF
them, do not bring extra prices, except in q few
instances and for a few davs. The corn is badly
cut by the drought The farmers are proverbial
grumbiers, but it would seem this year they
really have some reason to be disheartened.
At meeting held this evening it was delor-
mined to entertain the guests invited to the
opening services of the new academy, on the 23d
inst. at the private homes of Dover, instead of
giving public dinner in the academy building.
as was first proposed.
Speaking Of the Academy leads me TO mention
that Mr.. Williams, like his Divine Master, sent
his students to church on Sunday two and two
before his face. They made quite fine appear

The shipment of peaches amounted to one

MILFORD, Sept II.
The drought still continues. We have had no
rain for long while, and things in general are
in a parched state. The late potato crop is
thought to be entirely ruined. The farmers are
saving their fodder, which is not good The corn
crop in some localities is nearly an entire fail
ure, while at other places, where the land ID Bto-
ny, the crop is good, so it is generally thought
that we shall have about half a crop.
Business of all kinds seems to be dull. some
are still idle quite number are now employed
in the fodder fields. The drought is putting
the farmers behind with their wheat land az it
il too dry to break fallow. A great many va
grants are wandering through the country, some
stealing from the farmers meal chests and ont

cannot understand their language. Some are
