CHEVIOT.
Rain set in at Cheviot on Thursday night at 10 o'clock and continued steadily. The rain was Irom the northeast, anel at the time of writing, showed no signs of abatement. _nis rain, though badly needed, comes too late to do any gootl to either turnips or fate sown rape, as owing to these crops going off so rapidly in the dry spell, farmers were compelled to feeel them off or lose them altogether. So tar thero have been no frosts in the district since late in the spring, anel in consequence potatoes have had a chance of full development. Thc tomato crop also has been a decieled sue"cess, and tho same can be said of marrows, pumpkins, melons and runner beans, all owing to this absence of frosts.
