SrOn Saturday eve, July 22d, the long parched earth in Union and Northumber land counticB was blessed by a copious shower of rain, which cooled tho extreme heat, and rendered most essential service to vegetation. Near Lcwisburg, the descent of the rain was gentle, and without damage that we learn of, except that a shaft of lichtnin" struck the old cherry tree, in the center of the Market SL grave-yard, about 12 feet from the ground. In Hartley, we are informed, the rain fell in torrents, deluging and gullcying the earth to the material injury of farms d roads. Cor potukort ofth UwUliorn Cliromclr. Fbeebuuo, July 20.

This State road can, . and I presume will be finished early next ; summer, or sooner; ana it will be a much better road over the mountain than the Pennsylvania Central. Its trrades will be about 20 feet less per mile on the eastern tlJc 01 wouutaiu than those of the Central, "0WlJcrc exceeding , . feet to the mile, and its curvatures less.

In 117, when Clinton saw the com-' menccment of his great work, the use of steam on the American rivers was but ten ,i. ... - i ..a a.- 1 years old, and was not large of its age. The l'urmjon, the Richmond, the Car of, Xqitunc turned their slow wheels in the: Hudson, aud the passenger still hesitated between them and the sloop. Not even Clinton connected the future of the Canal with the labors of Fulton. These days of ours are to witness the strong, steady, sure, speedy steam move ment on the artificial as weU as the natu ral river. There will be, when the will of the peo ple is accomplished, an uninterrupted channel of such boats as can with complete ease navigate the Hudson from ljuflalo to N.Y. A seventy by seven canal gives abun dant room for steam navigation, and the energy of our mechanics stimulated by the demand, will so compress the engine into small size, and, what is most desirable, diminish its cost, that these large boats will need none other than their own pow er. A shovel full of coal will outrun a bushel of oats. There would be joy in the fabulous country of which Swift wrote if it were known that the deliverance cf the horse from hi.) bitter toil approaches. To these new boats, steam propelled, the JJudi-on River is but a prolongation of the Caual its most agreeable section the deepest water, the widest dimension, and the Collector unknown A'-r l', J-'jniy ('"(';(' r An Original Poem by John Quiscr ahams.
