The Drought in Kentucky.

The drought in Kentucky is as Sc
we're as it is in Middle Tennessee
could not be more severe. The Lou
isville C5uier Of last Saturday says
THE DRouGHr IN KENrUcKY.-We
are in receipt Of the most distressing
accounts from all parts of the State,
with reference 10 the terrible drought
that has prevailed.
II Marion county, hundreds of a
ores have not got shoot of corn on
them and people are cutting the stalk
to fee their cattle Stock is worth
less a hd mule colts cannot be cash
Ell at $50 Tobacco is not yet a.
bove the clods. and the small timber
isolyihg.
In Bourbon, the corn crop will not
be .ha # an average, and the influence
of the failure is already felt in the
very deprecated value Of all kinds Of
stocks.
lnIPulaskl county there will be very
little corn, and meal is now selliug at
81 per bashel at the country mills.
The Louisville journal says:
TIE DRoUGHr. We never have
during our residence in the West ex-
perienced so general and so long con-
tinu,.d a period of dry weather, We
very recently travelled from St. Lou
is north to Chicago, and thence south
TO this place, and particularly noticed
the effect OF the drought on the grow
ing crop of IndIln corn. Ia Illinois
and Mis- ;ouri, in the latitude OF St.
Louis (3Sa degrees north), the corn
is so much injured that one third Of
the usual product per acre is perhaps
an over estimate of this years yield.
AS you approach Chicago, there APP
pears to be more rain, and in that
latitude, say ~ degrees north, and
north Of it the corn crop. will proba-
bly, be two thirds of the usual prod
uctE Coming south, the corn seems
to have suffered more severely as you
approach The Ohio river at this point,
where the prospect for corn is as bad
rs it can well be short of entire de-
struction. The conclusion that we
have come to. is that from latitude
81 degrees to IL degrees north, the
corn crop now growing Nil not ex-
coed, and probably fall short OF half
the usual yield. 1t will be observed
that~this belt Of country embraces
the chief corn producing States Of the
West, to-wit: Tennessee. Kentucky,
Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana,
and Ohio
In the extreme South and North,
thera have been more FREQUENT rains,
and the crop of corn in the States
embraced in those regions will prob
ably be an average one.

Living with his Meek Broke.

We lately noticed the fextraordin.
ary death Of AIr. levi Rringham, o.
st. Johnsburg, VI, by The act of an
enraged stallion. The following sin
gular circumstance, showing that the
breaking of, the neck bone does not
OF necessity cause immediate death,
are added by a correspondent of the
marlborough Eagle:
"The fracture of the neck COM
pressed the spinal marrow SO violent
as wholly to prevent it from affording
any communication between the brain
and body. AS a consequence, the
whole body below the fracture was
paralyzed, deprived alike Of sensation
and power ofmotion. But he retain
ed the full possession of his mental
faculties and conversed intelligentlv. !
not onlylthis, but by means of the
nerves NOT involved in the calamity |
OF the SPINAL marrow, the brain kept
up its communication, with the vital
organs, and maintained the exercise
of their functions for nearly two hours.
But the manner which those func-
tions were exercised was very unusu-
Il. Especially was this the case in
'egard to respiration. Ordinarily
his is carried on mainly by the ac-
ion of the intercostal muscles upon
he ribs, and as these rise and sub ,
ide, respiration and expiration take l
'lace. By the injury of the spinal /
narrow those muscles were deprived
f their ordinary nervous stimulus, +,
nd consequently we're wholly inactive. b
he whole was assumed by the dia-
hragm, which faithfully performedits
uty while the lateral walls of the (
hest remained motionless. In this
be continued to breathe du-
ng the brief remainder of his life. :

THE CHoLERA.-Nothing more is known of the
cause of this mysterious disease than when it first
commenced its destructive march. The London
Times. in article the ravages of the plague in
the allied armies. says that the ships at sea- the
crews OF which live by rule, and escape the tempa-
tons and vicisstudes of diet and climate by land
have suffered as severely the land forces, and some
of them have lost as many onetenth of their sea-
men and marines The Times states that even after
the vessels had put to to change the air OF the
coast blast of hot air from the land seemed to have
struck them at particular moment, on the after
noon of the 18th of August, after which many of the
soutest hands board sickened and died, medicine
being of no avail. The plague, however, lasted but
a short time, and seemed TO have passed them
as II came in the air.
