The Natchitoches Chronicle Of the aud inst. says
The weather during the last week has been in
tensey warm but we are glad to be able to announce
that parish has been, during the time, visited
with several showers. From many portions Of ths
parish hear bad accounts to the corn the injury
thereto being the result Of the proracted drought.
The cotton crop is highly favorable and gives prom
Use of large yield.
The Morehouse Advocate of the I'd says:
The weather has been very unsettled with Us for
the past week-showery, and very hot during the In
tervals. The crops are doing very well, but we I'M
derstand that the grass is very troublesome.
The Franklin Sun of the LIST inst. says:
The weather is now downright hot. Once in .
while refreshing shower coos down the atmosphere
for short time, and benefits at the same time tho
crops The prospect for both cotton and corn is
very fne-for late corn, better weather could NOT
have been asked for. Sg
From the Attakapas Register, Of Saturday last,
we extract the following
On the arrival of the steamer T. D. Hine at Center
vile from the excursion on the Fourth, for the pur
pose OF landing passengers a young lad aged about
II years, son of Mr.. C. s. Cozine fell overheard and
| was drowned. His absence was not remarked until
the next morning. and after diligent search and in
quiry and nothing being heard Of him since he was
at the landing, the conclusion forced upon
his bereaved parents that he had fallen into the bayou
and drowned, and subsequent search led to the dis
covery of his body.
The refreshing rains of the last month have brought
rejoicngs from every quarter of the Attakapas At
|
have impaired freshness and vigor to the growing
cane and corn that inspires the hopes and demands
the gratitude of the planters From every quarter wo
hear expressions OF satisfaction at the general thriving
| appearance OF the crops. The corn was, in many
places, beginning to suffer from the drouth but the
cane was unimpared, though not as far advanced as
usual at this time OF year. The long dry weather
gave our planters good opportunity to prepare the
fields for the rain, and when the welcome visitor
made its appearance the crops clear and FREQ
from grass as paror floor; consequently many OF
all will do so by the 10th Of the month.
The crop of corn will, understand, be large and
of good quality, and sufficient for the planter during
the year. The crop OF sugar does not present the
same attering PROMISE but we may say that it may
reach, certainly not exceed average one. But the
cane is subject to so many contingencies Of weather
and conditions in its cultivation and final yield. that
it is altogether matter of speculation iu estimating
the probable crop, aud the best estimates made OF
the probable yield are vague and uncertain, and can
, be but very imperfect approximation towards tho
real result. Our parish is quite healthy, though
some few cases of dysentery have occurred on some
plantations but are glad to hear that it Yields
readily to the proper care and medical treatment.
The Madison Journal, of the 7th inst, says:
The heaviest rain of the season fell on Friday even
ing last. The thorough washing which the land 50
lately oveowed has received WILL it is thought d.
much to prevent the prevalence OF fevers during he
summer.
So far as we have been able to ascertain the pros
poets for fine crops of both cotton aud corn hayt
. never been more fattering.
The waters of our bayous at the present time
abound with fine fish, such as trout bass perch, etc
