~ Corn, we think, will be made in abundance to meet
the wants OF the community. Crops of small grain

Cotton looks badly, and we think can hardly make
an average crop though it is hard to say much on the
subject as yet.
The Red River American, of Saturday last, SAYS
we learn that in many parts of the parish the cot
ton crop Is not thriving as well as could be wished.
Although rams have fallen recently their effect has
only the cotton but the corn.
We clip the following from the Clinton Patriot of
last Saturday:
Ram has fallen in some portions of the parish rather

of shower.
It's reported by some of the planters in this vcini-

EXTRAORDINARY CANDoR- Nr. Fillmore The
Courier des Etats Unis the French organ in New
York, in an article on the Presidential candidates,
makes the following complimentary remark touching
Mr.. Fillmore
We have already expressed our opinion and per-
sona preferences for Mr.. Fillmore. Notwithstanding
our profound antpahy for the party of which he is
the standard bearer more than ever convinced
that he is the man whom the people of the United
States should by acclamtion call to the Presidential
chair He is the only one on whom any reliance can
be placed for firm, moderate and what the country
most needs-a t'anquHieing administration. He is
the only one about whose political creed there can be
no doubt or suspicious ambiguity as it rests on no
vague OR lusory formulas, but on a practical past
The fact also that he cannot be reelected after full
term, is anotherargument in his favor over his rivals
he will be exempt from the ambitious temptations and
suggestions which were the cause OF General Perce's
policy, and which will sway the minds of his com

FLARE UP AT PENSAcoLA.-The following account
OF this affair we copy from the Mobile Register of
Tuesday morning last:
The trip of the Kate Dale to Pensacola, on Satur.
day, terminated most enthusiastically as far as the
visit to the city was concerned and is likely to oper-
ate dsastrously to the exceeding good fellowship al
ways hitherto existing between the inmates of the
two cities.
1t seems that British captain, passenger, on
landing at Pensacola saw sailor on schooner at the
wharf who had deserted from his ship and pointing
him out to one OF our city police. also passenger
induced him to arrest the man, place him in irons on
the Kate Dale and carry him back to Mobile Against
this interference and wrong the skipper of the
schooner vehemently protested when he met the
otliceru up town and when they again encountered
on the wharf dispute arose, and fight ensued
This was Immediately after dinner when the disturb
ance became so general that the Mayor and Sheriff OF
Pensacola, with many others of the authorities and
citizens, came down to demand the restoration of the
seaman the authority for his arrest and the detention
OF the ring ieaders-some or all of these-when the
lines OF the boat were cut all except that at the bow
and the steam being applied the boat swung clear
On this refusal to obey the authorities shower of
missiles flew from the wharf to the boat, and others
were returned in exchange.
From the Pensacola papers we shall, doubtless
hear many, il not ALL the particulars and shall pub
lish them when received Yet, the question of right
i'll city officer OF Mobile so to arrest, conne and
carry OFT an alien seaman, and in another State, will
be question raised elsewhere no doubt; but mean
while the good feeling ever manifested towards those
OF our citizens visiting Pensacola must suffer serious

A How to Catch a Thief.

The father of the great American statesman was
very humorous and ocose personage and innumerable
are the anecdotes that related Of him. As he was
once ourneying in Massachusetts,, not far from his
native town, he stopped rather late night at an
inn in the village OF. In the bar-room were
about twenty different persons, who, as he entered,
company, it appeared had, d few moments before,
watch taken from his pocket, and he knew the Of.
fender must be in the room with them.
"Come Mr.. Almanac maker, you know the signs
of the times, the hidden things of the seasons tell
who is the thief.
"Fasten all the doors of the room and let no one n
leave it and here landlord, go and bring your wites

as black, sooty, and smoky as the chimney back
The landlord got into his bar and looked on with
eyes as big as saucers.
You don't want any hot water or nothing to take
OF the brstles on the crtter, do you Squire p? said
the landlord, the preparations looking a little too
bed and the wells dry.''
Tow, go into the barn and bring me the biggest
cackler you've got.

a tremendous fat rooster, caekling all the way like
mad. 81
Now, put him under the kettle and blow the light

The old rooster was thus under the inverted kettle
and the lamp blown out
Now, gentlemen, don't suppose the thief is in
the company, but if he is, the Old rooster will crow
when the offender touches the bottom Of the kettle
with his hands. Walk around in circle and the fowl
will make known the Watcll-stealer. The innocent
need not be afraid you know S#57S.
The company then to humor him. and carry out the
joke walked around the kettle in the dark three or
four times.

And soft proved. The fellow, not being aware,
any more than the rest Of the trap that had been set
fer the discovery of the thief had kept aloof from
the Kettle lest when he touched the rooster should
proclaim him as the thief. As the hands of all the
Others were hlackened the wteness Of his own showed

SUPER HEATED SrEAM.-Super heated steam has
some singular properties. While a chip held Il guar
ter Of an inch from the nozzle of try-cock, would
be forced away by the issuing steam, held within the
eighth of an inch of the nozzle, it would be suddenly
drawn to, and forcibly retained against the opening
as if by magnetism. The property of super heated
steam to absorb water is also remarkable. A boiler
