.N;ndtn Dpmocrat.-,We have
had a flood of rain this week ant:
there is Nc longer apprehension
felt about not having navigation
this season One Of monopoly lin,
steamboats, is looked for every
day, and the ware houSemcn are
feeling decidedly bitter over til,
outlook.
Locals are very ScarSe and VT
are at il loss what to write that
will most interest cur readers. Tc
prognrsticatc upon the political
situation would be "sloShing about
in the dark" a kind of way OF do
ing things that we have no fancy
tor whatever. If We were a pro
phet or a son Of Il prophet, VIC
probably might have some taste
for times ike these, but as We arc
not, we prefer to remain kinder
Sta!u quo.

During the past week the night
