The Alexandria Republican of Saturday last

The late showery weather is causing cotton
to shed its forms, and producing rust The river
is getting worse and worse; at the mouth bar
is forming that threatens, we understand, to
dsconneot It with the Mississippi entirely, while
the impediments all along up are becoming
greater every day.
The old Red River packet struck snag and
sunk, q few days ago, near the mouth She was
partially loaded with cotton at the time. The
wonder Is, where she found water enough in the
river to sink in

"YoU FoRGor ME."-A good joke is told at the
expense of one of our ohurch-going citizens,
who is the father of an interesting family of
children, and among them bright eyed boy
numbering four or five summers, the pet of the
household, and unanimously voted the drollest
little mischief alive
On Saturday night he had been bribed to
keep peace and retire to bed an hour earlier
than usual, with the promise that on the NOR
row he might go with the family to church. On
Sunday morning it was found inconvenient to
put the youngest through the regular course Of
washing and dressing necessary for his proper
appearance at the sanctuary, and the family
slipped off without him. They had not how
ever, more than become comfortably seated in
their pew, when in walked the youngest with
nothing on but night wrapper and cloth
cap.
"You forgot me-" said he in tome loud
enough to be heard all over the church.
The feelings of the parents can be more
easily imagined than described. Lafayette
