NORTH CAROLINA MEDICAL SocIETY.-It will be
by the advertisement of DR.. S. S. Satehwell +,
Secretary of the above Society," that its next Annual
Meeting will be held in the of Salisbury, on
the 10th day of May next.
This Society, still, comparatively speaking, in it's
infancy, is, believe destined to do much for the
advancement of medical SCIENCE and the elevation of
the medical profession in this State, and should
therefore, in opinion be carefully fostered, not
only by all the regular members of that profession,
but receive all the incidental aid that favorable di
rcction of public opinion generally give it. The
season in which the meeting is to be held is pecu-
liarly pleasant for visiting the Western part of
the State and the physicians of the Eastern counties
should avail themselves far possible, of the OPP
portunity, especially the N. c. Railroad has been
completed to Salisbury ION the direction of Char
lote. 1t has been suggested that the several Rail-
road companies might extend graceful courtesy
and lore money by allowing the medical profess
sion attending this meeting to go and return for
fare. Journal

LoUIsIANA,-In relation to planting prospects, the
Opelousas Patriot of Saturday last says:
There has not been gloomy prospect for the
sugar planters of this country the present since
the culture of cane to any considerable extent
begun. From almost every planter we hear COM
plants. small amount of seed cane was in the
first place put up, and such the injury it sus-
tanned that when planting, one half at least
jected-in some places the whole. An unusually
small amount of stubble remains, which in
many places seems to be much injured; and of the
plant cane, none has yet appeared above the ground
there being scarcely moisture enough in the earth to
make it sprout.
Under these circumstances, it is not unsafe cal
culation to say that the crop of the parish
not under the most favorable circumstances of wea
Their and season, reach another year within thirty
three per of the crop of the past and that shows
at least twenty-five per cent. of falling off from the
crop of 1868. Touching the cotton and corn crops
a large pitch has been made, and, with favorable
season, far better yield be anticipated than the
last year. The cold weather and the drought render
the prospects gloomy at present, yet there is sufi
cheney of time to make good crops if that which
cut down by the frost Of last week had been left
standing.
We learn from the Patriot that the cold and back
ward spring, together with the long continued
drought is telling fearully upon the vaccaran inter-
csts of this and the parish OF Calcasieu The Patri
OF says:
Within the last six weeks thousands of cattle
have died from hunger and thirst. The cold and the
drought of the winter destroyed every particle of
grass upon prairies, and that being the subsis
tence of our cattle mostly, they become, mattel
of course, very poor. Recently the ponds in the
praires have all dried up forcing the cattle to resort
to the soughs and bayous for water Going into
these, many bog and mire, and Iot having strength
enough to. eXtricatc themselves, there perish. In
this way, and from extreme poverty, hundreds are
dying daily.

MASSACHUSETTS MANHOOD.

The Boston Post does up as follows, the recent
achievements of the Know Nothing Committee of
the Legislature Massachusetts,, in and about the
Catholic Nnnnery or Boarding School at Roxbury.
The Protestant world must feel greatly relieved
after such demonstrations demonstration SO
highly credtable to the intelligence the liberaty,
the justice, and the manhood of Massachusetts.
We feel better ourselves. We hope the expenses
lot this Committee duly looked to and paid.
Indeed, the Commonwealth might very freely, it
seems to us, have found the Committee in tobacco
whileaengaged in this perilous and important bust
ness likewise, three cents each, to be bestowed by
them on charitable objects, for we doubt not that
such men must be almost strangled now and then
with the overf1owings of the milk of human kind

of which in such nmtable style, make sure
