Three weeks ago the prospect for a SUI
pcrior crop OF corn and cotton in this Dis
trict was a very cheering .one II was the
universal opinion thai, from - ;hrn an
P Po", or 'ne PrfiT1he district. But about
tnree weeks ago the dry weather set in, and
never in the memory Of man did short
drought do 50 much injury. We are not
without hope, however, and unless some
disaster bcfalls Us vet the Lancaster crop
will be a large one-somcihing to brag on.
For several days past generous rains have
been visiting us, and corn and cotton are
looking fresh and cheering again.-Lancas-
Ter Ledg,r.
We hear variouS accounts of the crops
from different parts of the district. From
some localities we learn there is great want
Of rain, and that the corn has been very Sc
riously injured thereby from others we
have cheering accounts of the prospect, and
that the seasons have been copious and
abundant We presume the average crop
of the district will he a. large, if not larger,
than 1t has been for several years.-Green-
rifle Patriot
Since our last we have had one pretty
fair shower and several sprinklings in our
immediate vicinity. The country around,
however, has been more fortunate. Crops
have been benefited but little, but we are
thankful even for that. We hear many
farmers and others say that they put turnips
down two aud three weeks ago, hut they
see no signs of termination. A failure oil
this winter crop would lie a serious misfor-
tune Carolina Spartan.

THE GRANnsoN OF BESEDICT ARNOLD
The London correspondent of the Evangelist
in giving an account of a three days revi-
val meeting at the town of Barnett, says;
Among those present and who spoke was
DIR. Hamilton, the eminent divine of the
Scotch Presbyterian Church in London, and
author Of Life in Earnest" Rev. Mr..
Arnold, an estimable and young Episcopal
brother, also took an active part, and added
greatly TO the interest and spirituality of the
meetings. You will be interested with the
fact that he is grandson of Arnold, the
American traitor, and the only male heir
who survives him. He has sister married,
and they inherit large tract of land in
Canada from their grandfather.

A Presidential Undergraduates and
Breckipridge.

A Richmond correspondent of the New
York Herald writes the following:
al was informed last night that grand
coalition scheme was on foot between the
friends of Hunter and Breckenridge with
view 10 the election of one or the other TO
the Presidency. This movement is said TO
lie dictaJed by an apprehension growing out
of the increasing popularity of Wise, and
the waning prospects of Hunter in Virginia,
the idea being that union of the friends OF
both would be sufficient to secure the intu-
ence of the Old Dominion for one or other
of these aspirants Some say that Hunter
has waived his claims in behalf of Bcckin-
ridge, while others assert that the terms of
the coalition contemplate 10 surrender of
claim on the part of either, hut merely o
nnion of their respective forces, the choice
as between the two 10 be governed by future
circumstances. The distracted state of the
Hunter ranks in Virginia, caused by the in
iudicio,,s selection of Letchcr as their stand
! ard bearer in the ensuing Gubernatorial con-
/ test, led me 10 anticipate recently some
| change of tactics on the part of that clique.
/ That anticipation if fully realized in the de-
velopment of this new coalition"

by On Thursday eve Judge Fowler de-
livered discourse at Marble Hail. on Spirit
ualism that made, we think, deep impress
sion on all who heard il, sceptics as well as
believers. The Judge was for many years,
the Circuit Judge of the lower judicial dis
trict, the largest district in Kentucky. He
is an able jurist and was most excellent
Judge, esteemed for the acuteReSs and log
icsl accuracy of his opinions, and reyered
for the integrity and purity of his character.
When such a convert declares his full belief
in the new philosophy and testifies positive
" to manifestations and phenomena that
confirm it, the most skeptical begin to think
that it is no longer a subject for thoughtleSs
ridicule but matter for serious investiga-
ton. However extravagant they may bc,
theories proclaimed by such men rs Judge
Fowler, and adopted as they say, after long
and thorough investigation, and verified tC
them, by ample tests, are not to be put dowr
as humbugs, and calling their converts lu
natics. The public must now give tn
philosophy fair hearing, and try 1T upol
the evidence 1t can av.duce.

The use OF Looking Giasses Ia



A correspondent of the st. Louis De"o-
crat writing from holland, gives the follow
inp account of the use made OF looking
Glasses bv Dutch ladies. A like erd is ac-
complished by the idle inquisirives in some
of our Eastern cities, by lens in the

feet all that pass in the street; though the

projecting from the center of almost every
