Amid the dizziness of summer and the apa-
thy exhibited all around, the natural conse-
quences of hot weather, there is one body a.
mongst US Of Yazoo City, that pushes forward
with unslackened energy, and that is the
Yazoo Library Association. The regular
meetings are usually attended by majority
of the members, and the affairs of the eve-
ming are at all times despatched with ANNA
lion. The early and sudden death of its
much lamented and highly esteemed late
President, cast for time deep gloom over
the proceedings of the Association; but as all
honor has been paid to the memory of the
dead and the usual time ofoutward mourning
for the departed has expired, the feelings
have gradually recovered from the effects of
the sudden shock, and each member again
enters into whatever duties may be assigned
him with cheerfulness and zeal. The de-
bates are generally sustained by sound argu-
ments from the contending parties, and the
las: question discussed by the Association.
relative to the repeal of the union betwixt
England and Ireland, drew forth some heart
felt and eloquent remarks from gentlemen
taking part in the debate. The addresses
that have been delivered, possess much to
approve and but little to blame. The sub
jec@ which they embrace appear. to have
been thoroughly examined andrefected upon
before the statements made and the opinions
expressed in them, have been brought before
the entire body. An address on Money
was delivered on the evening of Monday the

of which has been sent in for publication by
the gentlemen that were appointed COM

From the Newark Daily Adve


DEATH OF THE VENERABLE HENRY SoUTHARD.
The venerable Henry Southard-the father
of the distinguished ex-President of the U.
States Senate-died at his residence in Bas-
kenridge, in this State, on Sunday morning
the 22d May, at the advanced age OF. nine
ty-fve years. He had enjoyed good health,
and the full possession of his mental facul-
ties, up to within a few days of his death,
which occurred after only four or five days
illness, induced by fatigue from walking.
Mr.. Southland was born on Long Island in
October, l747. When he was years old,
his father, Abraham Southland, removed TO
the colony Of New Jersey, and settled al
Baskenridge, where the family have contin-
ued to reside, uninterruptedly, ever since.
He was among the earliest members of the
State Legislature after the formation of the
Federal Constitution, and after serving IN
that body with honor and usefulness for nine
years, was elected a Representative in Con-
gress. He continued in congress, at period
when it was, indeed, posi- Of honor and
distinction, by successive reflections, fol-
the term of twenty-one years, when, in the
year 1872 ,admonished by the growing weight
of wears, he voluntarily retired, having then
passed the ordinary limit of three score anC
ten. A short time previous, hisdistinguish
ed son had been elected q member of 1he y
S. Senate, and they had the pleasure Of NEE
tins in joint committee of the two houses
the father and son being chairmen Of thei
respective committees; a Circumstance proba
bly, without paralIelin our political history
| During the whole OF this period, and Il
TO the hour Of his death, Mr.. S. exempIiie'
the faith of the Christian, not less than tn
edfastness and virtue OF the Patriot.

Yazoo somwhat over year, daring which
lime ne has ofHciased as pastor Of the Pres
byterian Church. Mr.. NJ: came among US
young man just entering upon the discharge
of the arduous duties that necessarily de-
volve themselves upon minister Of the
Gospel. That he has ably discharged these
various duties, is well known to our citizens
generally. His mild demeanor and amiable
disposition, has procured for him the love
and esteem of the members of the church,
and the good feelings and good wishes of
the more worldly part Of the community
His talents are above mediocrity, and with
assiduity, (which he possesses) bids. fair to
become an eminent minister of the denomi-
nation to which he belongs. We trust the
day is not far distant when Mr.. M. will be
regularly ordained Pastor Of the PYesbyteriGn
Church Of YazoO City. While speaking Of
our friend, Mr.. McInnis, we cannot refrain
from copying the following complimentary
article from the pen of former associate O
his, Mr.. Midnight, editor of the Liberty AID
vocate;-
''The Presbytery of Clinton recently held
session at YazOo City. The Rev. Mr.
McInnis, native Of this State, was ordain

A SINGULAR SNAKE.-A gentleman of this
place, whilst out cunning a few.evenings
since, shot on the hill back of town, snake
of curious description. When the snake
was first seen by him its color was of deep
blood-red. Shortly after it was wounded it
became nearly black; but on the following
morning it presented beautiful vermilliOn,
variegated with narrow white rings shaded
on each side with jet-black. The first OF
these rings is around the head Immediately
behind the eyes. They continue to the tail
at regular intervals of about two inches. The
snake is about two foot and half in length,
and at the largest part not hicker than a
mans finger. 1t is preserved in spirits as a
curiosity.

the experiments Of our fellow citizens in
Carolina and Georgia have left nothing for us
to do in order to solve the question. The
attention of capitalists in those States recent
ly has been turned TO manufactures. Several
establishments are now going on IN which
the coarser fabrics are turned out, far superior
in quality and cheaper in price than the En-
glish goods Of the same class. At the south
manufacturers have great advantages over
their competitors, whether in New England
or old England. We have the raw material
on the spot, can select the best qualities, and
are saved the expenses Of transportation-a
of which constitute vast saving in the cost
of the fabric, and must enable US TO afford
articles of superior staple at the cheapest
rates. If the worst does come to the worst,
it seems to US that manufacturing will be the
best resort for the south, and the only profit
able substitute for the culture of cotton.-yM

The EARTHQUAKE IN HAYTI.-On compar
ing the accounts recently received from the
above place, OF the shocks of an earthquake
felt there, with the accounts of one in Lou
isiana, we find many marks characteristic OF
a connexion between the two. Both occur
red on the same day, 1.-THE 7th May The
latter took place at 3 O'Clock, and lasted two
or three seconds, giving cause, during this
short period TO that commotion which caused
the waters of the lake at Catahoula to rise,
during the space of two minutes, to more
than six feet Accounts of the former state,
that although shocks were experienced a
intervals during the whole day, even as soOn
as O'clock in the morning, yet that the
principal one occurred at hal!- past O'Clock,
z. NJ, 1.-TWO hours and half later than the
one in louisiana and lasted al least two or
three minutes, during which time it's effects
were awful. Though the difference oftWO
hours and half in time ought, perhaps, to
prevent our inferring that these shocks were
identical, yet there is reason enough to infer
a connexion between the Two. Meanwhile,
we shall await the news of similar pheno-
rnena having occurred at some of the other
West India Islands, or in South America, at
the same date.-JOur. Com.
