The Drouth Broken.

After two weeks or more of extreme
ly hot and dry weather the drouth
was broken on Saturday afternoon
by heavy fall of rain accompanied
by considerable hail and very hig II
wind which did great damage to corn
and buckwheat, the only two crops
not yet harvested by the farmers.
Some damage to heavily ladened fruit
trees also resulted from the high wind.
The storm on Saturday was followed
on Sunday by rain and hail but the
wind was not so high as on the pre-
yious day. BY these two copious
showers the meadows were greatly
refreshed and the immediate necees-
sity of beginning to feed stock has
been delayed for some time at least.
