generally cloudy through the week with
considerable fog and high humidity Sc
we're thunder storms which were general
in the southern and eastern portions OF
New England on the night of the 24th,
caused heavy rains, which washed roads
tn some extent, but owing to the absence
of wind, little or no DANA &c was caused to
crops. In general, the weather conditions
of the wock have been such as are usually
experienced at this season. The warm
moist weather has been favorable for the
growth of all crops, and foliage continue $
nearly as green and luNurlant as in June.
Cores espOndcnts, with but few exceptions,
state that crops have made good growth,
and are looking finely. A few correspond
ents in northern parts of the section,
state that the ground is dry and rain Is
needed but elsewhere there is sufficient
moisture for all crops. " hile the clouul-
ness and moisture has been favorable Tor
, the growth of crops, the weather has
been unfavorabc for their r1pening and
harvesting. In some instances, farmers
have been unable to cure grass ana hum
