The Crops.

Yesterday being Shcrifl's sale
day brought a number ofplanters from
all parts Of the district, to town and
gave us an excellent opportunity ofcn-
quiring into the prospects of the pres
ent crop, which We are happy to
state are quito favorable, particularly
Tor grain; u number of our informants
even said that their corn was better,
than they had ever seen it, and prom
lsed 4 most abundant yield; we
hope this will have the effect of do
ing away with the panic created by
the drought Of a month since. Cot
ton has been somewhat injured by
the recent heavy showers, which have
caused it to shed the young forms and
in some sections we hear complaints of
the rus. The Rain still continues.

There are some fow swamps on the

arc generallyvery thick with under

ten three or four feet through. 1t is

There are occasional channels or run

feet long and plunged head-Iong into

what is remarkable, when you pass out
of one of these hammocks you find
yourself descending to the pine barren.
There is no mud in them, and fewer
snakes than i'll any new countries"
Hammocks arc ofvarious sizes, from
some which include about an acre of
ground to others fifteen miles long and
several miles wide.

SIOPPlSG NOT ALWAYS BUYING.-A
shopkccpcr in London was lately fined
for following Il lady into the street,
who had purchased nothing, and insult
ing her by saying that lie believed she
had only come to steal, and had no in
tcntion to buy. 1t appeared in cvi-
dcncc that the lady wished to match Il
piece Of goods, but that the shopkccp
CT referred to had not the article she
wanted. ltappcarcd also, however,
that females frequently consumed the
time OF storckeepcrs and their clerks,
by asking 10 look at goods, but with
out amy intention OF purchasing. This
fact was deemed, accordingly, to miti-
gate the offence Of the dealer, so that
he was not punished rs severely as he
might have been, though fined Leavi
ly.
We fear that London is not the on
ly place where idle women waste the
time Of storckcepers. Shopping is u
taroritc recreation with fair Phila-
delphians, as we'll as with their sisters
in the British metropolis, nor are the
pretty shopicepcrs always in earnest
here in their pretence of wishing to
buy, any more than there. Some la
dies, we are told, make a point of Wis
lting the principal stores periodically,
merel y to scc what the new STYLES are.
Others dawdlc about the fashionable
shops, as men donbout the fashionable
drinking saloons, to make acquantan-
ces and hear the last bit Of spicy Cos
sip. Occasionally, small purchase
is made. But usually, after turning
over the finest goods, and absorbing
the time Of q clerk, the fair shopkecp-
er departs making any excuse for not
buying that may chance to come up
pcrmOst.
American storekcepcrs, like Amcri-
cans generally, are too chivarous to
insult Il female for not making pur-
chase. 1t requires the brutality of a
low-brcd cockney to vent even natural
irritation in that way For that deal
ers frequently become irritatcd at such
vcNatious demands on their time. we
do not deny; and indeed man would
he more than mortal if he could en-
dnrc such annoyanccs, day by day,
without being vcXcd. |, is To be re-
grcttcd, however, that the galantry Of
one seNis not repaid by equal forbcar
ancc on the part Of the other. Ameri-
can women should not be behind their
fathers, bro hers and sons. in courtesy.
If storc-kcepcrs arc too chivalrous to
DC disrcspccttul to female, even
though she has tumblcd their goods.
and wasted their time, women, on the
other hand, should be too wcll-brcd.
that is, too considcratc of the rights of
others, t" impose on dealers under the
pretencc Of shopping.
We are aware that it is but n mi
nority VIII ch thus aunoys and worries
storekrcpcrs. But in u large city, even
IL minority is Il considerable number.
We have brought the matter up be.
fore the tribunal Of public opinion, be-
licrm5 that it is one of those minor
offences which only require exposure to
be checked. May we not be disap,
