we are informed, considerable quantities «of
corn and other produce,» which retiiained in
the fields, and some houses endangered. An
intmminable cloud of-‘ smoke" hangs over the
fact: ofthe country, of suclr-density as almost
to intercept the st'tit-bte-.uns, and toproduce a
continued twilight. The first copious fall of
rain, accompanierl «with a strong wind, Will
doubtless extinguish the fire and disperse the
smoke.” '
Among the bills reported in the Kentucky
Legislature, during its present session, we re-
mark one for the benefit of Matthew Harper,
‘ a cripple with lwe-n £1; children.’ The bill al-
lows him ‘ to retail spiritsAwithout a license.’

Reeve, formerly ChiefJustice "of this State.
He closed his long protracted life on the morn-

he had lived. For weeks, at intervals, he on-
dured the mostexcruciating agony of body,
but entirely tranquil in mind, reposing his
hope on the merits of the Redcctncr. His
age was 79.-—Conn. Herold. -
