81 The SEASON AT THE SoUTH.--The weather in
Mississippi, &c, is alarming, because the crops
are sown and UP. Six inches of snow in that
State on the 18th of April, enough to scare the
most patient planter. Here, the snow can do
no iniury-rather good, for the corn is not yet
planted, and the fruit trees have not budded.
This leads us to repeat that it is better to have
our winter weatherin April, rather than in May.

relates the following incident, which took place
at fire in that city,
One of the adventurous fircmen, being in
formed by fellow-member that Chinese in
iant was lying in bed in a back room, rushed
impetuously through the smoke and fame,
and approaching the child, whose arms were
stretched imploringly towards him, seized it
and bore it, amidst the crashing conflagration,
to where the daring act was welcomed by the
admirng plaudits of his daring comrades.
While endeavoring to carry it still further from
the scene Of danger his foot struck against a
plank, when both the infant and its delivcrer
were precipitated to the sidewalk. As the
head of the infant struck the boards over
which they were passing, the noise appeared
much louder than might be expected from the
Uranium of one so young, which caused the
gallant fireman to examine his prize more
closely, when he ascertained he had risked his
life to save little Chinese Joss, or Celestial
wooden image, such as is worshippcd by the
children Of the moon
