 -THE DRoUTH.-It is very much feared that drouth is upon us. We have not had drop of rain since Sun day two weeks ago, and at this date there are no evidences in sight that we will get any for some time. The ground is very dry and dusty. The last blowing which corn should have received has had to be put off by many for fear of doing it more harm thaa good. The crops, especially corn and garden stuff are suffering greatly. The corn blades curl up and look as though they would wilt dead during the middle of the day. Unless we get rain within the next ten days the crop will be very materially shortened.
