Value Of Ac0rnS.

The editor Of the Advocate, Claiborne,
La, has gone into o minute calculation
upon the value Of one crop Of acorns in
that parish-equivalent to one Of our
counties. He says that 1900, 900 pounds
Of pork will be consumed thelc in the
year 1854, by the $4,000 inhabitants,
and that the whole Of it comes from the
crop Of acorns, and it is worth the snug
sum Of 100000. Besides this he think.
an equal value has been added to the
stock hogs. He thinks also that tha,
parish grows $4,000 worth more cot
ton than it would fall the planters had
TO depend upon the com crop for tleil
meat, so that the actual value OF a CROP
Of acorns is. 2l5,0o0.

IIeart .RendIng Tragedy.

A correspondent Of Y4e Clevslank
Plaiadealer, writing frcm Wanpacca
County. Wise onsin, tells the following
tragical tale:
a farmer sold yoke Of oxen to on
indiyiiual in the ncighborhool, AMI
received his pay in paper money. The
man who purchased the oxen, being in
o hurry 10 start of, requested the farmer
TO assist in yckins them up. He ac.
corllingly went TO tho yard with the man
for that purpose, leuving the money
ying on the table. On his return TO
the house, he found his little child had
taken the money from the table, and was
in the &C; of kinling the fire in the stove
with it. From the impulse Of tic mo.
mcnt, he hit the child slap on the
side OF the head, so hard as TO knock it
over, and in the fall it struck It's head
against the stove with such force as TO
break its skull.
"The mother, who was in the act ol
washing a small child in n tub Of water
in an adjoining room, on hearing the
fracas, dropped the child and ran to the
room whence the noise proceeded, and
was so much terrified at what she there
beheld, that she frgot the little child
in the tub for time, and upon her re.
turn 10 the room found the little one
lrowned! The husband, after a few
moments reviewing the scene before him
seeing two Of his own child,en dead,
without further reflection. took down
his gun and blew his own brains out!
