OUTRAGEOUS PRANKs.-On the night of Sunday,
the 9th inst, number of young men played off some
extraordinary and highly censuable tricks upon the
congregation of the Methodist Church in Lynchburg
Va. The Courier gives the following account of the
affair:
Itappears that on Sunday night last sacregious
wretch managed to obtain to the gasmeter and
let off all the water The consequence was that the
gas soon went out, leaving the church in total dark
ness. Then it was that the same wretch, together
with his accompces, scattered many pounds of finely
powdered pepper on the floor, benches, ratings
and elsewhere. The house was densely crowded, and
after theg gas lighted again. and while the preacher
was was in the midst OF stirring appeal to the
sciences Of his hearers, the ladies commenced to ply
their fans and the persons standing in the aisle to
move about to get little fresh air. This reused up
the powdered pepper and started the whole congrega
ton to coughing and sneeZng at rate so terrible as
to put speedy stop to the services. Unable to en-.
dure their suerings, many of the congregation rose
up and made for the doors. The doors could not be
| opened There were wretches outside holding them
with ropes? How long this state OF things lasted we
were not told What the consequences must have
been we leave to be imagined,

Four Young sDRowNED.-A terrible affair
occurred near Waterville, Maine, the 9Th inst,
which is thus related in the Bangor Whig:
On Thursday evening of this week, seven young
ladies' residing in Waterve, went into what is called
Crummett's Stream, about one-fourth of mile from
Watervlle village, for the purpose of bathing, and
in very few moments four of the seven found q
watery grave The bank is quite steep, and it is
supposed that one or two Of them ventured beyond
their depth, and the others were drowned in at
tempting their rescue. The alarm was instantly
given, and three of the bodies were found short
distance from the spot, floating on the surface of the
water, and the other was found in the stream. They
were not in the water over thirty minutes and
although efforts made for several hours to re-
susctate them, they proved fruitless. Two of the
young ladies who were drowned were daughters OF
Mr. B. F. Soule and the other two were daughters
of Mr.. - Grant, pianoforte manufacturer now
at work in Boston. but who resides in Waterville
Mrs. Grant, the mother of two of the girls, rushed
into the water to rescue them and herself saved
with great difficulty, nearly exhausted. Their ages
varied from eleven to fourteen.

Louisiana Intelligence.

The Baton Rouge Sugar Planter of Saturday last
states that the ux prevails to considerable extent
in the upper part of that parish and that several
fatal cases have occurred The same paper says:
One of the heaviest storms we have ever seen,
visited us on Tuesday evening last commencing about
> O'Clock, and continuing nearly the whole night.
We have heard of no damage done, beyond that to
the cotton crop in the upper part of our parish 1t is
estimated that over six inches Of water fell during the
heavy rain
The Concordia Intelligencer of Friday last says:
Continued and almost daily rains throw gloom
over the prospect of good cotton crop this wear.
Where the fields are not invaded by "greasy rot -
the branches OF the cotton plant grow too fast to
ture forms and bols. The immature forms strew the
ground.
The De Soto Columbian of the sth, has the follow
ing:
The crops are all doing well, but apprehensons are
entertained by that the boil worm may visit our
cotton tieds-as yet no signs of their appearance
have been seen. The corn crop will be very large
much more than can possibly be used in the parish.
| Some sales have already been made of the growing
corn crop at so cts. per bushe delivered and pre-
dictons are quite common, that it will be at gather
ing time much cheaper The farmers prospects have
| produced one efect-that of raising the price of
| lands. General satisfaction pervades the entire
parish, at the fattering promises held out by the
| bright prospect of an abundant harvest.
The Thbodaux Minerva of Saturday last says:
We have had heavy soaking rains every day during
the week, and still the people of the upper part o.
our parish complain for the want Of the wet article
The Plaquemine Sentinel of Saturday says:
The weather is still unsettled. We have had rail-
nearly every day since our last issue, and coming
down in torrents. Last Tuesday night similar ii
rain and wind to the great storm at Last Island JUS
a year and day previous. To-day, Friday, as W,
write it is again clouding up.
In the ST. Bernard published in the parish of tina
name) we find the following:
This is decidedly rainy weather. Scarce day
passes by but what the floodgates of heaven le
| loose on our heads We are not visited by constan
rain but are often panic struck byvolent wind storms
accompanied by the roar OF thunder and the lurii
glare of lightning.
Our fields are literally covered with sheets of stag
nant water, which by virtue of the overwhelming
heat that prevails fail to be very injurious to
our crops. However, SO far, we have nothing much
to complain Of

THE MANLY ExcEpTIoN.-One of the speakers, at
the late commencement exercises at Williamson,
made the statement that the class all bachelors
with one manly exception The publicity thus
given to the fact that member of the class, named
Manley was married man, must be our apology for
printing an anecdote connected with this marriage,
which is too good to keep. The student thus
distinguished was married either before after
entering college, not certain which, and felt
himself obliged in order to establish his position as
student to make known the fact to the President.
This was done in fear and trepdation ashe did
not know but it might exclude him from the priVi-
leges of the College. Calling upon President Hop
kins, he finally made out to utter the words-"I am
married." All " exclaimed the Doctor, benignantly
beaming through his spectacles, so am l., This
was the whole of it. The student proved himself
none the worse for his connection, and won an ap-
pointment. [Springfed Republican.

WINE TRADE. A correspondent, writing from
Oporto under date of June 6th informs that there
are no kinds of Port wine which can be purchased
for less than $3.50 per pipe even this of miserable
quality. Ordinary wines selling for $3.50 to $3.50
per pipe. Old tawney wines are very scarce, and
worth from $3.50 to $500 per pipe. Bottled wines are
sold at prices varying from IS so to SO per dozen
There are no wines in the kingdom of any descrip-
ton that can be bought for less than sl6O pipe that
will admit of the long voyage to America, and any
thing under $500 per pipe is of very poor quality
The disease of the vine is still progressing and fear
Thousands of vines have died. and have been rooted
up Merchants and farmers in this quarter have lost
ali hopes of the present vintage In consequence of
this state of things many of the leading houses state
vance the prices of their shipping wines from ESQ to

price. washington Union. 9TH H4 ek

EXTRAORDINARY INCIDENr.-George F. Berry, a
boy thirteen years old living in Kidders block, went
out Monday morning to pick blue berries beyond
Rock Rimmon. He had been ont but a short time
when siX.foot snake of dark hue and red stripe
around his neck, jumped at him from a bush and
wound twice around his body, fastening both arms
in his coils, being squeezed hard enough to prevent
scream or move. The dog seeing his masters life in
danger, rushed to his aid biting and tearing strip
off the snakes back The boy got relieved from the
deadly grasp and took to his heels but the snake
coiled around the dog and would have crushed him il
he had not fought like tiger. Both found home
safe again. The boy complained not of hurt but

FROM KEY WEsT.-From the Key of the Gulf of

We have been enjoying the most delightful weather
