the county. In the general appropriation
bill we find an item of forty thousand and
sevcnty-cight dollars to reimburse the Patent
Office fund for the amounts heretofore paid
out for seeds and the collection of agricul.

the clerk in charge Of the Agricultural Bureau
made visit last year to Europe to rcplcnish

LOUISIANA Sugar CRoP. In reference to

WILEY Gazette, of the Sd, SAYS:
The prospect of the next sugar crop in

have convcrsed with a number of the best
planters in this district, who arc of the opin-
ion, that the crop Of 1855, will he short one.
From the Point Coupe Echo, ii will be seen
That this is not the only Parish in the State,
that has lost seed caue. The Echo says:
The plant cane is, We regret to say, serious

coniineS two or three weeks longer, it will

CASTING .DEvlL' OFT OF Cnrncu.--We
nrc indebted to our friend, j. NJ. Eclls. of
Marietta Ohio, for the following graphic
sketch. we are assured that the facts trans
pircd substantially as narrated:
"A Methodist clergyman who has been
laboring in the vicinity, was, not long since,
preaching to his people on the miraculous
power Of the Apostles over the dcmoniac
spirits of their day. As lie was pursuing his
theme. the audience We're suddenly startled
10y Il voice from some one in the congregation,
demanding. i'll hal(.qucrulous, halfauthori
tive tone. "Why don't preachers do such
things now adays? In an instant every eye
in the house was turned upon the individual
who had the eilrontcry thus TO cyadc the sa
crcdncss Of the sanctuary.
Tic s}cakcr paused for moment, and fixed
his penetrating gaze full upon the face Of
the oucstoncr. There was an interval of
intense sl.ncc, broken at last by the speaker
in rcSuning his subject lie lad not procc-
died. far with his remarks, before he wasugain
interrupted by the same impairment inquiry.
--Ag;,in he paused for time, again resumed
his subj .ct. Not content with u silent re-
Duke. our rc,iotb;ahlr GurS,ioncr demanded
again, Why don't the preachers TO sucl,
things now-a-daya" and curling his lips with
n Sn"cr Of self com laccnty, drew himself up
Fompou>ly in hi, seat.
Oar reverend friend, (who, by Tic way,
is 4 Young man Of great muscular power.)
calmly left the desk, and walked deliberately
10 the pew, where the imtcrrogator sat, and
fastening one hand tirmly upon the collar Of
his coat, and the other on The waistband Of
his 'uumcntonab!cs, lifted him square Oh,
Of the scat and bore Him down the aisle to
the entrance Passing for Il moment there.
he turned his eyes nlon his audience, and in
clcair. full voice. said, ''anl they east out
the devil in the form Of a Ji,tiVrr,', and suit
ing the action 10 the word. out went the knight
fthe masa-tub, ula leap freq fashion, into
the street.
1.-The good pastor quietly returned to his
desk, and completed his discourse. After
closing the services, as he was passing out
of the church the out-cast distillcr with an
otlic, /. CT the law, escorted our clerical friend
10 the Office Of a magistrate, to answer for an
assault upon the person Of said distiller. After
hearing the case the magistrate dismissed
the clergyman, and after roundly rcpriman-
ding the complainant; fined him fer molcSting
the services OF the sanctuary.
"Sincc that day VIC believe he has never
for Il moment doubted The power of the Meth
Wlist preachers to cast out devils, at least
within the limits Of the Ohio Conference.
