To the Editors Of the Chronicle.
Old Sol is making up for lost time.
Certainly no one can now complain of
his want of fervor Indeed at midday,
and for some time after, it is hard TO
find place not penetrate ed by his
glowing rays. In fact it is too hot to
be agreeable, and if it were not for an
occasional breeze, the heat would be
extremely oppressive. Although we
have been looking for rain FOR some
time, we have so far been disappoint-
ed. A good refreshing rain would be
more generally welcome than almost
anything else at this time, and if it
doesn't soon come growing crops are
bound to suffer severely. Some of our
farmers are not yet done planting corn
and the ground is so dry and hard that
1t can't be prepared till it rains. Most
of the corn already planted has been
plowed over once, and though small
has generally healthy appearance and
seems to be growing some, nutwith-
standing the dry weather Some fields

have required good dead of re-plant-
ing, while what has been planted since,
| believe, has come uD very well. The
prospect for oats is very dscouraging
unless it rains soon. Wheat is also be-
ing cut short for want of rain. 1t has
headed out and looks tolerably we'll.
but Is short, and on poor land very
thin. There seems To be quite u diver
sify OF opinion in regard to the ptoba-
BILE yield. Some few think there will
be good crop, while some experienced
farmers think they won't make their
seed. Taking everything into consid-
Grafton | should say there will he about
two-thirds of an average crop, provided
we have rain soon.
The dogs are not dying Rs fast in
this county as might have been ex-
pected. Though "a great many have
been killed, yet | think majority of
the owners have concluded TO nav "A
dollar or more, as the case may be,
rather than part with their canine
companions. / learn that 500 have
already been assessed in the county

A Shooting Affair In the seventh Dis.
trIct.

On Saturday night a difficulty took
place in the Seventh District of this
county, between Armshead Huckelby
and H. l.. Bowles, in which the latter
was shot by the former. The quarrel
originated about some land Huckelby
had rented. The weapon used was a
shotgun and load took effect in Bowles'
left arm and shoulder, intiicting a
serious though not a fatal wound.
Some forty shot have been extracted
from the wound, and the patient is
resting as well as could be expected.
The man who did the shooting was
still at large at last accounts.
