Court House on Monday and Tuesday last,
and we believe transacted more business than
IS usually done by those august bodies, IN the

came up again on Monday last, and created

could more proEtably employ thor time III

important to The interest OF their constituents

) Our CRors.-Everything is being parched
and dried up for the want OF rain. For some
weeks past we have been visited with no
refreshing and necessary showers to give
strength and energy to our cane and corn:
and ripen our fruits. Every one looks sad
and desponding-the sugar grower looks fe-
verish and anxious. as he watches his chances
for a supply Of seed cane, and the corn planter
is equally downcast as he looks at the droopv
Ing corn. as it parches up and dries with the
scorching heat. Some little rain has fallen
in different parts of our parish, but not
enough to be of much beneht We have rot
had any rain in this vicinity. Unless the
| rain king coniescends to open the food gates
| upon us soon, the chances for crops in our
neighborhood will be small indeed.
