Lieutenant-Governor Tabor of Colorado, is about founding a public library at Denver, to cost 400,000 dollars. It will start with 100,000 volumes. Once more this British climate of ours is driving the farmers to despair. A few weeks of the most unpropitious weather has nearly neutralised the rich premise of the early summer, and a large percentage of this year's cereal harvest is irretrievably ruined. The aspect of the country throughout last week was woebegone in the extreme. The incessant downpour of many consecutive days-has flooded the low-lying lands. In the Midlands rivers have risen, and the floods are out. There and elsewhere ;• the : harvest had been generally commenced before the disastrous change, and fields of out crops are under water,, the sheaves standing like little conical islands on the surface. Where the land is higher the "earshave turned almost black from the long, drenching rain. Further north matters look a little more hopeful. The lateness of the. season has been the saving of northern farmers, and backward crops which were pining for moisture have now had more than enough. The outcry and lamentations of the agriculturists are general, and landlords are beginning to tremble for their rents.—Home News.
