General Totem suppose that the
Ordnance Department would probably
have supplies sufficient for such force,
and the Engineer Department would
be ready quickly; the great question of
time would depend upon the procure

Messrs. Editors The dry weather is now
the all absorbing subject. 1t is, indeed, be-
coming alarming. The ''oldest inhabitant"
can not remember such spell. Vegetation
is almost completely burned up. The fields
and pastures are so bare of grass as to remind
one OF mid-winter. Streams, which have
never been known to fail before, have ceased
to flow. In some places stock are suffering
both for food and water. Farmers are nearly
done harvesting their crops; but they are
almost in despair about wheat. seeding.
News is very scarce; nothing of interest is
going on.

Messrs. Editors The long wished for rain
has not come yet and the water supply is
growing very short. In some neighborhoods
the stock is suffering for the want Of water.
The farmers generally have about wound up
their fodder and tobacco crop and are now
making preparation for sowing wheat Some
few have commenced sowing, but unless we
have rain soon the seed must in a measure
suffer from dry rot.
