The long looked for rain at last began to fall
last Saturday afternoon. aud the earth which had
been so parched by the scorching rays of the sun,
began to revive and show signs OF life. The hay
crop would have been much less, as it was al
ready suffering and the crops were needing il too.
1t has been thought that having would come off
much earlier than usually. but the cold weather
has tended to keep it back so that from the sp-
pearance it looks as if it would not be ready for
the scythe before the first of next month.
The cheapness of paints are causing many that
afford it TO shine up heir buildings during the

actions, we think that most of them will have
arrived to their senses before the fall election
shall come off.

wherein the plaintiff took half interest in the

the colt when five and half years old, should

and if for less than $500, the def. to pay the

brought. 1t appears further that in about two
months subsequent to this bargain the plf boug ht
the remaining half of the colt and that the colt
sold, as ptf. says for only $500. 10 defence, the
deft. contends that when the plf bought out the

was cancelled, and that he was no longer holden
