A letter, after mentioning several ku earns that had nearly stopped, says On Nutbush they arc nuking use os the dry time to burn the timber as it lies in the bed of the stream. All the rain that could now tall would not make corn enough, in this and the adjoining counties, to feed Xhcioiulation plentifully for six months ; and, what adds to the distress, there is no fruit, not even an apple no oats, no wheat ant) a general scarcity of bread s uO's at tins tune. You can imagine what it will be this time twelve months.
