The intensity of the late dronoht in Aus

The intensity of the late drought in Aus
tralia may be Judged by the sim plc calcuia-
tion made by the inspector Of stock that in
New South Wales alone 4,G00,O00 sheep
were lost last year from the effects OF the dry
weather. At least another million must be
added to account for the losses of this year,
and for the loss suffered by small holders and
others who were for various reasons omitted
from the returns. Thus VIC have 5 1000 900
sheep valued at Sl2, 500 600 at least, de-
stroyed, directly or indirectly. through the
ack of pasturage consequent on the drought.

that is gone, suppose we shall have to
live as usual, on corn-bread and potatoes.
The wheat prospects have been good
until within the last few days. 1t is

Corn is doing well and growing fast.
Grass is splendid, and most all are max

EDITOR BULLErIN:-The Fourth
passed off very quietly in this village.
About one thousand people we're pres
ent, and all had good time. The ex-
ercises were held in the grove north Of
town. The orator of the day was Mr..
A. r. Blair, Of Manchester. He did
not speak very long, but spoke we'll, and
all who heard him were well pleased.
The other exercises were interesting.
The day closed with a grand display Of
fireworks at night, and bowery dance
for those who love that kind Of exercise
on a hot night. Lemonade and ice
cream stands occupied every corner, and
towards night lemonade flowed as freely
as water, only cent glass.
The last few days have been hot, the
thermometer running away up among
the nineties, and even hundreds. This
is excellent corn weather, and the farm
ers are jubilant over a bountiful corn
crop.
On Thursday forenoon last, Mr.. VIM.
G. Wright was severely kicked by one
Of his horses, just below the heart. The
accident occurred about IL o'clock.
Drs. A. B. Ward and Griffith Ward
were immed; ately summoned to the bed
side of the injured man, but their skill
was unavailing. Mr.. Wright fingered
until Friday at 3 o'clock, when he ex-
pired. He was buried in the village
cemetery on Saturday afternoon. FL
der Brown, of Oelwein, preached the
funeral sermon. Mr.. Wright was one
Of the Oldest and most respected citi-
zens of this township. He leaves a
large family and numerous friends and
relatives, who mourn his untimely
death.
The same evening that Mr.. Wright
was hurt, young man by the anne of
Alfred Ronney, engaged in a wrestling
match with another young m }, fell and
dislocated his elbow. He now carries
the injured member in a sling, and is,
no doubt, rejecting on the folly of
wrestling. NORTH WEST.
