After brief period of delightful spring like weather.
it turned suddenly and excessively cold few days
ago, and yesterday morning it rained, sleeted aud
showed all the forenoon. The few days of bitter
weather which we have had, has greatly injured the
gardens and it is feared that the fruit crop entirely
destroyed as most of the trees were in bloom. The
snow melted as fast as it fell.
We learn from the Attala Democrat, that on the
night of the 18th fire occurred in that town, which
destroyed the Posoice and several other buildings
1t was not known how the fire originated. The Demo-
crat says: ,..r.-. H..r
Corn seems to be getting much scarcer in the
country than was anticipated. 1t is selling in our
county from 81 to 81 Is per bushel. We learn that
there is an abundance in NoXubee county at fifty
cents per bushel.
The Granada Republican of the 14th says:
We have had it clear and quite cold for several days
past, slight snow fell on the morning OF the 9th,
which has set vegetation back six or ten days
and probably materially injured the fruit.
The Fayette Gliss.) Watchtower of the 9Th inst.
says: .5
There are no new cases of smallpox in town this
week, and those who have been confined are nearly all
well. We learn from private source that it is on
several plantations in Red Lick and also that the
scarlet fever is raging with considerable magnance
in the eastern portion of the county.

SLAIN BY WAR.-It has been computed from the
very best calculations that can be made, that about
Q4,000,000 0,O00) fourteen thousand million of human
beings have perished in war since the world began.
This is q number of which we cannot form an ade-
quate conception.
Now, how long would it take man, counting
night and day. at this rate, to number the killed in
war He would count ls0 in a minute $500 in an
honr; 259200 in day "a sos 900 il u year and

day fraction less than IA years.
Ii all the corpses of those who have fallen victims
to war were laid one after another road, al
lowing three feet to each body and the space between
1t and the next that road would be nearly 100000
miles long i. e.-to be exact, 7,954545 5.n.
This road would run around the world more than
BIS times. Only think, more than sls belts of dead
people encirclng the globe. For man to step over
all these bodies proceeding night and day at the rate
OF ten miles an hour, would occupy more than 454
years, or if he should travel u hours day at the
rate of three miles, it would take him 6Sl years.

FASHIONABLE AMUsEMESTs. A correspondent
writing to rural paper from Albany thus refers to
a new amusement introduced at fashionable parties
in that city.
New fashions have been introduced into Albany
by the wives of Hon." gentlemen from New York
city. After chop at the Delavan the other
night one of the ladies who give the fashions which
are followed by the country girls, erode the Ele-
phant Tor the amusement of the party. This is
performed thus: Two gentlemen stoop down on
hands and knees-pillows and blankets are piled on
their backs for saddles-a tail and trunk ae made Of
suitable material-when the rider is placed upon
the saddle and carried around the rooml expect
the rural districts !"
The Albany Argus admits the fact, and thus des
crbes the modus operandi of the performances:
The gas in the parlors is partially turned off, SO as
to produce sort of twilight Darkness when two gen
tlemen the talest present. requested take their
position in the back parlor. Their position is that
adopted by boys when playing leap-frog. large
cloth OF some subdued coordark grey, for instance
is then thrown over them and another rolled up is
attached to the front which constitutes the trunk.
Two sheets Of white paper are then rolled up and
tackled on, one on each side of the trnnk. These
represent the ivory tusks. The Albany Elephant is
now complete The lady rider takes her seat on its
back amid cushions, ETC., and under the guidance Of
leader the monster proceeds, with heavy tread, to
display itself and precious load to the company in the
front parlor The arrangement is unexpectedly perfect
and suggestive OF life in the East. The play of the
Elephant is success here, and will not be sur
prised to hear of its adoption in the rural districts

The great wholesale poisoning case excites much
interest here. The National the largest hotel in the

strychnine. They took the poison and then took to
the nearest water which in the cistern tanks and
wells about the house, where they tumbed in and
died, of course The water being concealed and
raised by pumps did not expose the condition of
things till by its daily use hundred or more OF
the boarders were suddenly taken SICK doctors were
called and health officer sent for who not long
in discerning the cause. On removing the covering
to the big cistern it presented the dead bodies Of
poisoned rats. -E. ..
Mr. l.enox, from our State, was guest at the
house at the time, taken sick started for home,
and died on the way. No other deaths have been
heard OF, but many of the boardels are still very
sick. Mr. Buchanan was also stopping at the house
and has not yet fully recovered from its effects. The
tanks have been thoroughly cleansed.
