Pittsfield, July 22. -- Farmers are very much disgusted with the present state of weather. Nothing can be done but look on and see it rain. It is the worst season since 1855, which was just about as bad.

Mr. McCalla lost one of his best horses a few days since with an attack of colic.

Mr. John Fiegel lost a cow and also a horse recently.

Sunday school at the Roberts school house still continues each Sabbath at 4 p. m., with a good attendance.

Mr. H. T. Day had the misfortune to lose his entire outfit of horses, three in number. It is now supposed that their death was caused by poison, and the case is now in the hands of the sheriff to find out if such is the fact.

Mr. Fred Forsythe, who has been on the sick list lately, is now able to be about again.

A great deal of hay will be of poor quality on account of the wet weather.

Late potatoes planted on low ground have mostly rotted in the ground.
