Dickens, May 25.-The spring has

high, dry land have hat! z picnic farm

boutifu yield, but those who have had
low or fiat land are in very bad shape
with their farming. Some of the farm
ers have got their corn sll planted and
1t is coming up nicely, While others
have not yet got their corn ground
plowed, and there is very little prospect
of plowing some of it this year. Thurs
Gay night we had the heaviest rain of
the season. 1t was reported that an
earthen jar, with straight sides. setting
out caught one and one-fourth inches of
water in 1t. Friday night we had an
ether heavy rain, accompanied by plen-
ty of lightning and thurder. The light
ring killed one horse for j. II. Walsh
and one for Thomas Gadsby. Every
mans cellar, not drained, is a cistern
with plenty of good, fresh water In It,
and one Of the neighbors said his gar
den was nice fish pond. 1t now looks
as tho those who had meadow land
would make fortune raising hay this
year If it ever stops raining SO that
they can harvest it.
