The Marksville (Ayoyelles) Organ of the 10th
says:
The prospects of the cotton planters of this parish
are far from bright The stands, so far as we have
been able to and learn, very Inferior and the
plant is dying rapidly as soon as it appears above
ground. Unless the season proves very favorable
from this out the crop must be very short one. Be-
sides the ateness of the planting time, there is
great scarcity of seed throughout the parish Corn
is recovering from the blighting frosts OF April and
is growing very thrftily The stands nevertheless.
are generally poor and halfed cribs and poor stock
will be the rule next year.
In grateful contrast with these, however, is the
cane crop. The plant cane is large and vigorous,
and promises very abundant yield if nothing unto
ward should happen between this and the rolling sea-
son. The rattooas nearly all killed, or at least
have not sprouted, which amounts to pretty much
the same. The weather is just the kind now to bring
vegetation rapidly forward The nights, though cool,
bring heavy dews with them, and the days are warm
and cloudy, with every prospect OF ran
We are sorry we unable to give good account
of the health of the parish. Whooping cough is cpl
demic everywhere, and we have heard some complaint
of the measels The diseases far, are of a mild
type and no deaths have occurred from them.
The Natchtoches Chronicle of the 10th says:
Notwithstanding the untowarG weather Of last
week which was so injurious to the corn and cotton
then up, hear that the crops generally throughout
our parish are now in promising state, and almost
all our planters have succeeded in getting good
stand. In the lower portion of the parish, we hear
with much regret that the cut worm Is doing consld-
cradle damage to the young cotton of the extent OF
the mischief we have not been correctly informed.

The citizens of Vicksburg are petitioning the Mayor

The Vicksburg Times of the 18th has the following
paragraph:
On Saturday, while the Queen of the West was at
the city landing, deck passenger, who had in his
arms little child whose parents were also passen-
gers, fell from the guard into the river, and was
drowned. The child was rescued from watery grave
by the noble hearted engineer the steamer Aid and
was carried to its almost frantic mother, who had
watched with almost speechess agony her drowning
child Fast flowed the tears of gratitude from the
mothers eyes, she pressed to her bosom the babe
so nearly lost but now restored.

On the 9th inst. a man named Baker was murdered
near Tyro, Marshall county, by some person or per-

lowing verdict having been rendered against him.
Guilty of stealing privily from the person and lar
