is tasseling, and cotton beginning to bloom.
In Corsicana, there were four days OF hard
rain during the week, with the enormous
rainfall of 7S3-nearly eight inchesl Farm
work was suspended by excess
of wet, and grass and weeds getting
the upper hand. In Dallas,
texas, blere was harQ rain on three uaye

scarce-hands demanding one dollar and
fifty cents per day and rations. Wheat was
Welding about an average of twenty
bushels to the acre, with 25 per cent. do
