RUST IN CoTToN.-A new disease has
made its appearance in cotton, doing great
damage. IL resembles rust in wheat. From
the time it first makes lis appearance on
plant until it is thoroughly stripped, ii is
about four days. On the first day, small
yellow or rusty spots may be seen on the
leaves; the next day it Is perfectly yellow;
the next day il is dropping, and the nsxr
entirely stripped of the leaves, blooms,
squares and boIls, less than half grown
Our farmers account for it by the slack king
Of the lime IN the land, caused by the cool
heavy rains coming suddenly after the long
drought. IL is confined exclusively, so far,
to prairie lands.-[ Washington (Texas)

Jenny Lind still enjoys such retirement as
is left to her at the Falls 1t ia generally
understood that she vii! commence series
Of concerts in autumn, and visit the south
west, the west and Canada. Whether
these rumors arc correct, we presume she
knows, and she has a coInmendabIc way of
keeping her own Counsel and setting the ex-
ce!leut example of mnding her own busi-
ness, we dare say The public will remain
in The dark until her plans are matured, and
the first concert, if there are to be any con-
certs, Is announced.
DisAsrRous FIRE IL NEwARx.-'The
New ark Mercury says that the most disas-
trous confagrston which has visited that
city for many years occurred last night.
The fire broke out about l2 O'Clock, in The
rear of 33S Broad-sireet, in the midst of the
most business portions of the city, known as
the "Ciinton Works." and foi a long lime
baffied the energies of ;he Fire Depart
ment.

DREApFuL CAsUALTY.-The Peru, (Ia. }
Sentinel contains the details of most
heart-rending occurrence, which took place
about eight miles from that place, near
Coles mill, on Monday week. A man
named Smith, with his wife, occupied a
house near the mill. They had retired to
rest, when Mr.. S. was aroused by suiioca-
ton, and on getting up and opening the
door, he was enveloped in sheet Of flame
He at once went to arouse his sleeping wife,
which he at length succeeded in doing, and
she came TO the window, when, encircle,l
by the flames, she became supplied and be-
wildered, sunk to the floor, and was burned
to death. In attempting to save himself,
Mr.. S. reached the outside Of the house,
where he fell down, Greadfnlly burnt, and
hut little hopes are entertained Of bis re-
covery. The fire caught from kitchen at
,ached to the house.

The Albany Knickerbocker gives an ac-
count of wonderful dog belonging to one
Of its carriers. The carrier fell sick
when he sent out a boy to deliver the pa
pers. All he had to do was to follow the
dog, who stopped at the door of each suit
scrber and wagged his tail, never missing
one iE list Of six hundred. At the door
of all subscribers who had not paid for their
paper for a length of time, the dog was heard
to howl! This is a mos, intelligent and
useful animal.
