The storm Of Thursday night last was very severe
at Lake Providence. The Herald says it "bew great
guns" all night, accompanied towards morning nv
fall OF sleet.
The West Baton Rouge Sugar Planter Of Saturday
says:
A few days OF fair weather seduced Us into the be.
lief that the rain had finished its operations and that
We should have no more until wanted bot, like all
frail human hopes we are disappointed It has com.
STOP ft ever intends to- It has already injured our
cane TO an extent that will be severely felt the coming
season. Many Of our planters are unable TO finish
planting.
The Pointe Coupee Democrat of Saturday says:
We have been drenched by the heavy rains during
.ne whole week The river is rising rapidly We are
sorry 70 inform the public that many private levees
are not completed We will surely be overlooked I'M
less the Police Jury come to our relief by forcing
those delinquent propreto II complete their Ievees
The Democrat foots up the sugar crop made dur.
ing the year 1858, on Bayous Crosse Tete and
Marngouin, and having access to the Baton Rouge
and Crosse Tete Railroad, at 1892 hhds.
From the Iberville Sentinel, Of Saturday, we ex
tract the following:
At the present writing, Thursday morning, it is
raining as it did all night and most OF yesterday.
Such season Of rain Is not within the memory Of
the Oldest Inhabitants" as several of the Oldest
inhabitants say. Every two or three days it pours
down tremendously, the intervening time being
peculiarly balmy and beautiful weather. 1t has been
difficult for the planters to get their cane and corn i
the ground-and this incessant wet season must
prove highly injurious to both Of the staples to the
the crop, and thus shortening it-a crop which is
already set back" to an injurious extent through
an unfavorable or vacating climate and, in some
cases. to ruinous extent, where planters. through
one cause or another, have been backward in plant
ing, or who are delayed in getting their sugar engine
or grinding apparatus, kettles ETC., in readiness to
commence sugar-making.
But not only has an unusually wet season occurred
year to darken the interests and expectations Of
the planters, but the river is getting up high at
rather an unusual pace; and although the eyees Of
the parish are in fine condition generally we fear
that in some cases where the levee he's caved n the
time has been rather short for new one to Be suf
GENTLY bard and compact to resist the force Of the
flood, particularly when assisted by high wind.
The Planters Banner Of Saturday says:
light frost was visible on the house tons and
bridges this morning. It was not heavy enough 4
do any damage to the gardens or fruit trees Wear,
now favored with delightful bracing weather an,
the skies indicate that the unprecedented abominab
"spell" has departed.

Tiendish Outrage.

The st. Louis Democrat says: "A gentle
man from Belleville, this State, last evening,
communicated to us the following facts:
Some ten days ago, the beautiful and highly
accomplished daughter of a citizen of Belle
vile was returning home from the house of her
brother-in-law, when she was met at the re-
tired part of the road, by a brutal %rufian,
named John Lehman, who gagged her, drag
ged her from the highway, pinioned her arms.
and struck her violently in the mouth with a
pistol, held her down by her hair, and afro
ciously violated her person When the out
rage became known, hundreds Of persons turn
ed out in search of the bastard. The excite
ment was intense until his arrest, trial and
conviction on Saturday last, when the public
indignation found just expression in the YER
dict of a jury sentencing him to Imprisonment
for life. The sentence was received with the
plaudits of q large crowd of our citizens. He
was again placed in confinement; but on Mon
day morning, while in special custody of the
Sheriff, he succeeded in abiding the vigilance
of that officer, and in efecting his escape. He
is still at large. Upward of five hundred per-
sons left their homes and business in pursuit of
him. The authorities of BelIeville, says our
informant offer a reward Of 81, 900 for his cap

A Floating Quarantine.

The New York Tribune Of Monday last,
says, the plan adopted by the new Board Of
Quarantine Commissioners, for the temporary
relief of Staten Island, is now far advanced
towards completion. Several large floating
hospitals are now in course of completion, and
these will be stationed at a point indicated in
the lower bay, several miles from any inhabi-
ted neighborhood, and in shallow water, where
good anchorage is afforded. The site for per-
manent buildings for quarantine purposes is
not yet designated; but as the Commission
ers have plenary discretion, there can be no
difficulty in securing an illegible location on
som part Of the adjacent shores or islands,
not subject to such objections as were advanc-
ed by the Castleton Board of Health. With
the unexpended funds on hand, and the further
appropriation of 5000 recently granted, the
Commissioners are in a position to make all
requisite arrangements; and already many
offers have been put before them, of land well
adapted to the objects had in view, which the
owners are willing to dispose Of on reasonable
terms. 1t is satisfactory to be thus assured
that we have at length reached the conclusion
of this yexed question.

HORSE TANNING.

. We in looking over the columns of our
neighbor, the Inquirer, find a notice calling
the attention of our Farmers and Horsemen.
TO the system of tanning and subduing Wild
and Vicious Horses. as practiced by the Lone
Star Method. We have conversed with the
best horsemen in our village, who have seen
the method practically carried out, by actual
experiments on at least twenty horses, within
the last few days, and in all cases, the horses
operated upon, have become Immediately do
Gle and gentle. Mr.. Star will take q wild or
vicious colt, that has never been battered or
handled in any way, and in the short time OF
thirty minutes, will halter, ride and drive him
without blinds, and have him gentle for any
person to handle. We are not, ourselves, any
great horsemen, but knowing the growing in
terest manifested by our farmers, on the sub
icet of the horse, We feel bound to give our
readers, the opportunity of witnessing this
wonderful method of subduing, tanning, &C.,
as practiced by Mr.. Starr. And we will fur
tber state, that we have conversed with those
familiar with the Rarey method, andt they con-
fdently a.sert, that in some Instances; they
consider Mr.. STAIRS method far superior to
Mr.. Rarey's. or any other system that ever
came within their observation or knowledge.
We understand Mr.. Starr will remain at T
P. Barkalos's, for a few days, where all can
have al opportunity of witnessing his wonder

nr Mis-. HARTUNG NOT TO BE HUNG To
Morrow. The New York Tribune of Tues
day last says, Judge Wright. of Albany, yes
terday granted at the Blancard House in this
city, a writ Of error for a stay of proceedings
in the case of Mrs. Hartung, who was to have
been hung in Albany tomorrow. The ground
on which he grants this is that the prosecution
after one of their own witnesses had sworn
that from the state Of Mr.. Hartung's stomach
and intestines as revealed on post norton, he
was positive that the substance which pro,
duced death was taken three months before
death that after this, the prosecution intro.
duced another witness to prove that the opin-
ion of the first was not worth anything. Judge
Wright doubts whether they had a right to
examine one expert as to the competency Of
the other, their own witness, and especially he
doubts whether they had a right to discredit
their own witness in this way.

Later from Europe.

The foreign news received by the City OF
Washington is simply a mass of more or less
authen ic umorS Of a warlike character
Some of the newsmongers even 60 SO far as to
announce that the French Government had
ordered the railways to be in readiness to
transport sixty thousand men into Piedmont
at the shortest notice. On the other hand.
and alone forming an exception to the uniyer-
sal voice of the press in every country, the
Pays of Paris declares, in its impression of
Sunday, April 10, that Austria has Withdrawn
a condition on which she had hitherto insisted
as a sine qua non, previously to the holding of
tie proposed Congress, namely, that Piedmont
should FIRST disarm. This report had the effect
of raising the spirits of the stock market to
some extent, but does not seem to have heen
much credited in Europe. However the next
steamer will bring us some light upon the sub
ject; for the British Ministry was to state
what was the real state OF the question during
the sitting of Parliament Of the 18th inst.

A Clerical Wife Prisoner Arrested

lhe rlttsburg CAroniae Of the 10th inst,
says; we learn from o private source, that
ohith Mcdonald, City Sergeant of Wheeling,
va ellected q very important arrest, near
That place on Sunday last. About a month
since, as our renders will doubtless recollect,
we published the details of a poison case near
belvldere, New Jersey, in which a Methodist
munster named Harding, was charged with
taxing the lifes0f his wife. AN inquest was
held on the wcman's remains, but pending the
verdict OF the jury, the husband fed, and
though the most diligent search was made, nc
traces Whatever Of his whereabouts could be
discovered TIE jury in the meantime contin
ued their investigation, and the evidence o.
the mans guilt being strong almost to convic
ton, they found that Mrs. Harding came to
her death by poison administered by her hus
band.
a reward OF $500 was offered for the arrest
OF the fugitive; but nothing whatever could be
learned OF his movements, until Sunday, wher
officer Mcdonald succeeded in capturing him
1t appears that Mcdonald was informed thai
a man bearing a close resemblance to Hard
ing, had taken up his residence in Paramount
aud thinking possibly he might be the person
he resolved to see him and satisfy himself
whether or not his suspicious was correct
With this view he visited Paramount, and was
gratifed TO find that the stranger and fugitive
were one and the same person. He was car
ried to Wheeling by the first conveyance, and
IS now in Jail awaiting a acquisition for HIS re
moval to New Jersey. He is a young man o
about twenty-two years of age, and highly ed
ucated. His wife, with whose murder he il
charged, was an accomplished and beautiful
woman, and her death produced the most in
tense excitement among her friends. The eyi
dence ofthe prisoners guilt, is, as we have
stated, of a very conclusive character, and hi
will doubtless meet with the reward which {
crime SO atroeious merits.

A Much Needed Improvement

The Examiner states that the Rev. Mr..
Chambers. Of Philadelphia, reports a wonder
fnl transformation " going on among the worst
reprobates Of Baltimore" OF the late converts
in the western and rowdy part of the city, at
least one hundred could be named as already
actively and devotedly engaged in carrying on
prayer meetings, and laboring for the CONVEX
sion of Others. The reports from that quarter
OF the city reckon at least a hundred and fifty
from the worst classes of Baltimore population
as giving evidenced conversion 10 God. The
hanging Of GafnBriil Crops and Corrie has
probably bad a good deal to do with this re-
markablc change Of sentiment among the Plug
Uglies, who finding that the admiuistrat tors Of
the law were in earnest, have been convinced
of the orror of their ways. There is some
hope of Baltimore yet.
