The prospect for good far this week
> was quite favorable up to yesterday after
noon' when the rain commenced to fall
In torrents. We are sorry to have the
people disappointed yet we need the rain
very much. The ladies of the two socie-
ties have made the usual arrangements

so dislike TO have them put themselves in
such dangerour places when it only
requires little Wul power to extinguish
these incendiary fires set to burning BY Ie
these same tiremen. When will men
cease to be brutes and become men?
