MIDDLE VIRGINIA.

The droughty weather seems TO retain
a firm hold on all the counties of the
middle section. except the northerly ones,
where gentle showers on the first two
days of the week did much good. IN
the central and southern counties all
crops show the effects OF the prevailing
dry weather Tobacco is firing. late corn
is cut short and fodder is poor. Pas
lures are failing fast. Much Of the corn
has been cut to save for fodder. Little
following has been done, and no turnips
soWn. Many farmers curing tobacco.
In the northern counties the condition
Of pastures. potatoes, and late corn has
been improved by showers, and good
yield seems assured. Fail plougnlnS,
however. is reported TO be late.

but hoped that among them was some
shadow of remorse Mt the remembrance
Of the poor devil whom he had SUI

close to death should now be far on
the road to health, with the prospect of
many years before him, while the
other, who had reioiced in his mis-
fortune, should find himself under 4
sentence which knew no chance of re-
prieve.
