to poison her husband, escaped through the aid Of
false Keys supposed to have been made in Opelousas

The Rapides Democrat, of the goth, tells curious
story CT a slave who, six years ago. ran away from
his master in Georgia, married a white woman who
had several children by him, and settled near Ber.
trand's Prairie Rapides parish. His personal ap-
pearance had never led any one to suspect his
African blood but his old master by some means
learned his hiding place and came on in pursuit Of
him two or three weeks since He and his com.
panion, armed with shot guns met and recognized
the slave, and on his attempting to escape shot him
twice, wounding him, but not severely enough to
prevent his escape. His owner offers reward of
5000 for his arrest.
The Natchitoches Chronicle, of the 18th says:
| After several weeks of rain, the weather has
cleared of and settled beautifully and the crops are

The Holly Springs Herald, of Saturday last, has
the following:
Until ten days ago, the weather had been quite sea-
sonable and crops, both corn and cotton, never
looked more fatterng but a continued drought for
the last ten or fifteen days, with hot and dry Winds
have had tendency to injure the corn seriously.
Cotton does not appear to be suffering great deal
yet, but we fear if the dry spell continues any length
of time that the cotton also will be damaged as the
young bolls and squares will commence falling
at a rapid rate,
On Thursday last we had delightful season. The
rain fell sufficiently to saturate the ground and insure
full corn crop for this county.

There was a fine rain in portions of Yalobusha on

IMPORTANT TO TELEGRAPH CoMPANIEs.-Th Ken
lucky Court of Appeals has affirmed the decision of
the lower court in case recently before it, which is
briefly summed up thus Mr. A. Camp made an
offer by telegraph to party in Cincinnati for lot
of whisky at a specified sum. In the transmission
of the dispatch mistake of onequarter of cent
was made, increasing the price offered by Camp, and
the party at Cincinnati sold it. The whisky was
shipped to Louisville before Camp discovered the
mistake. He thereupon brought suit against the
telegraph company for the difference. The company
in their answer, plead theprinted terms and condi-
tions which head their messages to the effect that the
company do not hold themselves responsible for mis-.
takes in the transmission of messages unless the same
are repeated, for which onebaf the original price is
charged, and the courts sustained the plea.

An INCIDENT ON THE CARs-A correspondent of

the cars, after leaving Pittsburg:
AS we left The city we observed small boy named
Stt about twelve years Of age poorly clad but very
intelligent having with him an infant ten months old
the child of his sister, who died few weeks ago. The
lad had brought the infant from Iowa City, where the
young uncle had cared for it and narsed it all the
way weighty charge for one so young. 1t would
not, perhaps, have been 50 much remarked, had a
young girl been the custodian Of the orphan babe f;
but here was mere boy putting away childish things
and assuming all the cares and responsibility Of a
parent, during journey of thousand miles at least
The passengers manifested the greatest interest in
the little Wayarer and his charge, the ladies especi
ally, in turn relieving the lad OF his burden as be
appeared to be almost exhausted with bis long Jour
ney. Such constancy and manliuess in one Of such
youthful years is not often exhibited and certainly
well deserves the name of heroism.
