The De Soto Columbian, of the 1lth, says:
The day opened with slow, drizzling rain, but as
we Wrlte the sun occasionally breaks through tn e
drifting clouds, the thunder continues to mutter n

The Lake Providence Herald, of Saturday last, has
the following:
We have had several showers during the week,

this vicinity after such BATH cannot fail to lift its
dropping and withered form in thankfulness.
From the st. Mary's Banner, of Saturday last, we

the dews of night now rustic with the cooling breeze
as they play through leaf and blade and rejoice in
renewed vitality.
Since Monday last we have been visited by copious
rains in all parts of the parish, and appearances
would indicate the advent of the usual wet season,
which may be looked for from the 25th till July the
5th or 10th at the farhes during the driest years.
The crops are so backward that few of our planters
are much advanced in laying by, and serious in.

grass, and receive check from which it could not
recover in time to make good yield in the fall.
