BETTER THAN FEES IN BANKRUPTCY The
Independent American, an excellent new spaper
published in Plalevlle, says, F." l, will be re-
membered that we gave passing notice of
lead, 'cut by our :ownsman, l. Bevans, some
weeks ago; we will now notice some of its
mos, remarkable features. The ground upon
which i. is situated had been proved years ago
according to the accounts of old and experienced
miners--ihose that believe all mineral, 10 these
=. diggins. lays above the rock. Not so with

IL to be expedient to follow mineral le, the cir
cumsiances be what they would, and by SO
doing. he now has splendid fortune almost
within his grasp. Tho benefits of his perse.
verence are being fel, by others. Prospects
that have been laying idle for years now have
owners, and bid as fair to make big leads as
THE LEAD did two months ago.
"Mr Bevans, we are Informed. has raised and
sold about 300, 900 lbs, OF mineral from three
shafts, and is still taking from 10 TO 10000 per
day, out of the same holes. This sounds like
an extravagant story, but we are inclined to
believe we can tell much larger tale of truth
before this lead is worked out"

RAIN.-We have kept rather still about il;
but the fact is we suffered for long time for
the want of rain. Corn and potatoes looked
very ihIrs'y-ihe ground was parched, and
cracked open and painting for drink; tho roads
were full Of fine white d1st-impal pable-so
very light that the least breath of disturbance
raised i, into sitting clouds. We had pretty
shOos for rain-fa.tering thunder clouds came
up pack after pack. which after growing once
or twice would sneak off as clouds often wiA
do in dog days; and anon the brszen sky was
burning over our heads again as dry as an in.
ver,ed punch bowl. We kept on hoping how
ever; knowing that there was to be camp
meeting on Saturday and Sunday in the Hurri.
cane. Bot camp.meeIing came and WENT
People from all quarters swarmed to the Hur-
ricsne through clouds of dust and dispersed on
Monday in the same suffoeaiing smudge of
floating earth. Sill no rain. On Monday
the clouds made another advance as il thew
were in earnes,--but heeled off again 10 the
right and lef. like Mexican army on the re-.
treat and heaven like furnace blazed again
with unmiiiga!ed heat. On Tuesday evening,
the storm, either ashamed Of tanlalizing US, or
tired of hanging SO long suspended, came
down-and the dusty heritage sprung TO catch
the first patieriog drops-and the parched
earth seemed 10 plunge her very nos.rils into
il and swallowed il with ten thousand mouths;
and Wednesday morning looked like general
resurrection from death and dust
