The drought in iijany parts of life cotiiiLry h;\a, 

 , been iiiiic h more se-ere than in New Hainps'.iire. 

 The N.iiioiiai Intelligencer mentions that in tiie 

 r^ion of VVaslii^i^tou city "the ;;urdens and titlds 

 are almost parrlitil, up ; so thai flo.vers have 

 <!roo))i;d and wiilK-nt>i,w)dlc,vt'!ietalion and grass 

 liavo lost the tipponraiice of verdure. Every 

 tilt!!;: around us appears arid and sickly — the ca- 

 nal, tiis crei ks, (riversj Ihn rnii<, the springs, are 

 .•iliiiost dried up. In Louilou comity, as «:« liav.e 

 just learned, caitle have been driven six miles 

 and more for water." 



The dry weather, as yet, has not chaueed liic

 As these hill lauds j-ii; tli- last to be affected by 

 drought, so it IVcqneully happens that while tii«
