THE DROUTH BROKEN HERE.

A rain that lasted nearly all night, begun falling about seven o'clock Sunday night. The weather had been threatening for a day or two, and Deacon Hollister had become threatening with his weather whistle, also, but owing to the fact that it had been so dry everybody had become suspicious that Deacon was playing a joke on them, and no one • could be found who would answer the question. “'Think it will rain?” without casting a suspicious look at the inquirer, and when the answer would come it would not be direct, and very likely would be “Fine day.” While the rain seems to have been general, it would have done much more good ten days earlier. But it was welcome hnd has done a “powerful” lot of good as it is.
