The Central Organ (Avoyelles parish) has the fol,
lowing in its issue of Saturday last:
We regret to learn from some of our planters that
they fear the freeze of Wednesday night last has
killed all the corn that was up. The planters of our
parish were generally very forward with their crops
this year. and the replanting of the corn which al
ready promised finely, will prove quite serious in
convenience. The weather was excessively cold for
the season, from Sunday, the sth inst, up to Thurs
day morning, when It moderated, and for the space
of an hour had lively fall of snow descending in
beautiful flakes as large as oldashoned picayune
At present it is once more pleasant and spring-ke.
On Wednesday, the 4th inst, Robert G. Rogers a
young gentleman Of our paIsh, shot Mr. Samuel
Smith, a wealthy and respectable planter of Bayou
des taises. Mr. S. was shot with double barreled
gun nearly the whole load of one barrel having
penetrated his side. The wound was thought at first
to be mortal, but we pleased to be able to state
that the prospect of Mr.. Smiths recovery is now
very fair and tattering AS this unfortunate affair
grew out of matter OF private nature we refrain
from making any comments thereon.
The Democratic 4Egis of Saturday last published
in Mansfield parish, says:
During the past week we have been visited with
unusually cold weather for this season of the year
and it is feared that the fruit crop has been seriously
damaged. Most of our planters had finished plant
ing their corn crop and were preparing their grounds
for cotton If the cold should prove injurious to the
early corn crop it will be severely felt by our citizens
from the fact Of the scarcity of grain at this time in
our parish.

FEARFUL PERFoRMANcE.--The most curious exhi-
bition at the great Paris circus what the programme
calls the exercise OF dislocation." The journalists
try to initiate it by twisting the French language
into all sorts OF complimentary shapes i'll describing
it, imagine, says one of them, "a slender female,
a brunette, with flashing eyes, hollow cheeks black
resses streaked with blush tints of that exotic ug-
illness which must be beauty some where far awaV
under the tent or in the pagoda. She comes dancing
and floating IN a loose robe with red stripes. She
throws herself down on carpet spread out in the
center of the circus and 10! she begins her chimer
cal exercises. She tears herself to pieces-unbones
herself. She passes her leg, like shoulder belt over
her neck; she undoes, like hooks the collarbones Of
her shoulders and throws behind her back her arms
bent backwards. The strangest of all is the haggard
look inspired, almost prophetca, with which she ac-
complishes this frightful pantomime. 1t is not
mountebank at work it is the convulsiye deyoee of
some extravagaut religion celebrating the rights of
some cruel god, who delights in seeing his worshipers
suiier. Her eyes suppcate her gestures attest and
her lips trace distressing smile. You are reminded
OF those Indian dnncing girls who wrhe before idols:
OF those Annals, stuck through and through with
pognards that you in Persian miniatures dancing
on their heads before pensive Sbah squatted
piles OF cushions and carressing his braided beard
with hand covered with rings. Nor is this all. A
glass case is brought forward which would scarcely
hold robe carefully folded She leaps on the edges
OF the fragile casket twists disloeatcs herself
mences her gestures and mysterious appeals then,
suddenly, you see the body articulated apparently
sink down like tissue OF which the tie is unloosened
loiu ltstil up III Ju!upIe ut VI tut
box. 1t is no longer a body, no longer form no
longer something organic and articulated. 1t isa
packet Of limbs, loose, scattered, unboned between
which vegetables tuit OF dead hairs, like handful
of sea-weed on the spongy segments of a mallusk
Tor, as DR.. Holmes says like sea-weeds round 4
clam.) You might believe that you see again that
mysterious Golfer of the Thousand and One Nights
drawn from the depths of the Tiber by a fisherman,
beneath the eyes of Haroun al Rasehid and in which
the Caiph perceived with horror the body of young
woman, cut in pieces. Wretch he exclaimed to
Ntof ~ SiaI
the actions of my people, and that you let my SUBJ
jects be thrown into the Tiger in order that thev
may cry vengeance against ME on the day of judg-
neut? If You do not promptly ayenge the death OF
this woman by tine death OF her murderer swear by
the holy name of God that I'll have you hung, you
and forty of your relativesr Then, as quickly as
she took herself to pieces she puts herself together
again; rearanees herself and lifts herself up AT once
entirely like the puppet OF snuti:hox with secret
spring. The name of this astonishing acfobate is

THE FREEDOM OF THE PREss.-The case of DR..
r. W. Gibbes as. the Mayor and chief police oflcee
of the city of Columbia, S. c., was decided Il few
days ago by verdict of $25 damages against thl
latter. The suit brought in consequence of the
Doctor who was the editor of paper in Columbia,
having been orcibly elected from the chamber of the
Common Council of Columbia, that body having
passed resolution that its proceedings should not
be reported by plaintiff. The result decides that
Gibhes, as a corporator and proprietor of public
press, had right without challenge Or question, to
attend the public meetings of the City Council of
Columbia, and at will report their proceedings, and

MORMON CH1LDREN.-A correspondent at Salt
Lake City writes In regard to the Mormon children
they appear like neglected. uncared for set gen
orally dirty and ilclad. The majority of them are
girls, and this troubles the women very much for
they know that female is doomed to slavery and
life OF misery. 1t is also singular fact that large
proportion of them are white headed. These children
are suffered to grow up in ignorance and vice.
Without the halowed influence of home to restrain
them, they are vicious, profane and obscene. Some
OF the worst language | heard fell from the lips
Of urchins in the street but when the most proane
aud Indecent language is heard in their Tabernacle
and all other public meetings, one expect any
other result. The Mornlons boast exult calling
things they say, by their right all parts of
the human body are spoken of familiary, in terms
that would make anybody but Mormon blush, and
they say is part of their duty if of their reli
gon, to teach their children knowledge of" issues"
as they term it.

AN FEM FOR TROUT FANoIERs.-We find the fol-
lowing in the Hartford Times, relative to the cellar
process of trout breeding:
During the past winter Mr.. E. C. Kellogg has sue
cellar. He placed box with proper partitions in his
cellar and put some sand, gravel and stones in the
bottom. He then procured two trout, male and fe-
male, and went through the process which has proved
successful in France of pressing the spawn from the
female and placing it in his box He then filed the
box with Connecticut river water, and kept small
stream constantly running through it. This was about
seven weeks ago. He has now seventeen fine lively
young trout, from half an inch to inch in length
and more in the process of Matching By holding the
eggs to the light, little fish can be seen in them dis
tinctly The old ones Kept in tub, and are not
allowed to range among the small fry The little ones
OF week old have characteristic OF the old fish, and
they will dart under stone with great rapidty when
the water is stirred up little. Our popular water
works are constantly developing sources of COM
fort, not the least OF which is that which furnishes
good supply of trout fresh for the table, the cellars
OF our citizens at all seasons of the year.

RB" A friend in whose taste and judgment we place
much reliance, banded us the following communca-
ton, which we cordially endorse.
Our play goers are too apt to neglect any performer
who comes before the public without having been
previously favorably passed upon by trans atlantic
audiences 1t is much to he regretted that our cit
zens act though they thought no good could come
out of Nazareth-as though an American actor was
unworthy of notice until stamped by European judg-
ment.
Those who love and appreciate the drama for its high
and lofty teachings should not fail to witness the de-
lineations of Mr.. Booth. While we have seen more
finished actors we have no hesitation in saying that
we have never seen any on the stage whose per-
formances give us more pleasure and come so near
satisfying our conception of the great masters. We
predict that the future has in store for Mr. Booth an
eminence which very few attain in his profession.

DR. BEALEs ARCTIC PANORAMA AT ARMoRy HALL
we can safely say that this is the most deeply inter.
estng work of art exhibited in this CITY, Those
VINO have read DR.. Kanes book, will find this pano-
rama almost indispensable to the acquisition of clear
idea OF the various scenes wherein many OF his Incl
dents were laid. The representation of ship in
storm-the clouds and darkness, the lightning, the
thunder and the pelting ran heard as well as seen
and all represented to fe-whch are incidentally in.
troduced, present Of unrivaed grandeur, and
one which no one who has any appreciation Of the
sublime would fail to see at any price.
The scenery on the coast of Greenland, up Melville
Bay, and in Smiths Sound the stupendous icebergs
of fantastic forms, and immense icefelds, with the
vessels picking their perlous way through the open
channels, or hemmed in by foes as by adamant, or
forced high in air on rifted hummocks; the Wild gi-
gantic ice crags rejecting the Polar light in various
hues-emerald, sapphire, and vermilon the strange
splendors of the Aurora Borealis the unrvalled
beauty of the rising moon, and the star-twinkIng
armament; the magnifieence of sunset, with their
train of attendant wonders and novelties too numer
Gus to enumerate, present prospect of wildness,
grandeur and beauty, beyond the power of words to
describe.
These views, we should state, are not confined ex-
tiusNey W LII. Aaut Dut Illustrate, aso
the English and Danish searches, all tending to give
correct and lucid conception of the physical aspects
of the Polar regions-that land Of mystery which Gu
rlosity bafed but undsmayed has sought to explore
from time immemoral, and which has accordingly be-
come the theater Of the most thrilling incidents
record.
Besides the attractions of these extraordinary views,
as objects that fascinate the gaze and their interest
as productions of art they possess geographical aud
scientific importance which should lead every friend
of education every deyotee of science every one who
would promote the diffusion of knowledge to patron
ize them, and thereby show their appreciation of the
intelligent and public-sprited artist, and afford the
greatest possible encouragement to this species of
enlightened and ennobling popular amusement. Such
mertorious panoramic displays, blending real infor-
nation with rational and refined pleasure, mparting
knowledge while cultivatng the taste, storing the
mind with new ideas idelibly impressing important
facts upon the memory suggesting expansive trains of
thought and arousng the latent powers of enlightened
curiosity, while at the same time improving the more
exalted sentiments of our nature, may be made the
of doing good for society than any other
that could possibly be devised Another exhibition
will be given tonight at Armory Hall.
