could have been expected. The attention OF
the people is called particularly to the board

necessity Of entering pupils at the beginning
of the session.
There was talk Of . glucose factory In this
city some weeks ago. After that We saw 1t
stated that Detroit had worked hard to get
one, but once secured found 1t to be n nuis-
ance. We did not know why, but this from
the New York Herald partially explains the
matter. Speaking OF glucose it says :-"In
some Of the neighborhoods where 1t Is man
uiactursd the twigs Of trees wither and the
people have sore throats. The sulphuric
acid (oil Of vItrioD used destroys pipes.
machinery md even buildings. The oil Of
vttriol Is found in the glucose; also lime,
eopperas, tin and Lead" II this is the pro-
cess proposed to be introduced here 1t would
hardly be popular. II 1t is not, and the pro.
jectors still desire to locate in this section
they should make the fact known that It
IL not.
An exchange truthiully says that every

Z The drought came to an end last Monday
a afternoon IN one Of the most refreshing and
welcome rains that II has ever been our
pleasure to see. 1t was simply glorious.
. There had been indications Of rain for q day
\ or two, but the axiom, ''all signs fail In dry
weather." had been 30 thoroughly scared
into peoples brain, that they paid no atten-
ton to them. and everybody Was taken by
4 surprise when 1t came. At about l O'Clock
. few timid, fugitive drops fell; at 2 O'Clock
a q few more came gently down AZ II Ashamed
Of themselves or afraid to touch the parched
up old earth; at three O'Clock 1t was raining,
Q and from that time until next morning there
d was not much cessation. Most of the time
n the fall was gentle, though steady, but once
IN the night 1t rsined quite hard. The
d entire rain fall, as measured by DR.. Alexan'
der, was 2.22 inches. An inch is very good
h rain, SO that this was q big one, sufficient
dry % It was, to moisten the ground fol
eight or ten inches ; to start the creeks tt
running, filling all the holes and thus settling
ID the stockwater question, and to partially I'll
the c%isterns, enough to see US through to tn,
ID fall rains. What makes it especially graft
I'd tying 10 that 1t was q general rain reaching
clear across the state. Everybody know
r. this time just when the previous rain fell

II, on Q Sunday. We had q good rain tina
10 day and have had none, since until Monday
g This made the drought last 43 days. Tn
rain Of July II was .88 Of an inch. We rare
ly have longer droughts than this, the last t
equal 1t occurring in 1879 and 1874, ~ aud 6
days respectively. There have been one o
lr two slight rains since July II In other part
Of the county. Had 1t not been for the chino
bug there would have been but q slight dim

pt last week was largely fictitious as there wi
