The people of the parish of East Baton Rouge
have contributed the sum of 1886 to the Noun
Vernon fund.
The West Baton Rouge Sugar Planter of Saturday
last has the following:

are excellent Our river terminus OF the ROAD presents
busy appearance, and will remain for the entire
ensuing season.
For long time we have been wanting rain badly
Our roads aud streets are filled with dust which each
breeze drives in clouds through the air. much to the
annoyance of the good people of this part of the
| State. In Baton Rouge the wells and ciserns are
nearly all dry and uuless rain speedily the
want of water will be severely felt by the citizens
| of that town.
| From the Iberve Sentinel of Saturday last we
extract the following paragraphs:
We are informed that two land slides have occurred
below this town the opposite Cleft bak) side of the
river. One near the upper line of the Goodwin (from
| McGavoc) place, about Que and half acre long,
carrying away some thirty or forty yards of the
levee The other, in front of the store of Messrs
Thiry Bros, is more serious, being about two acres
long, taking down portion OF the evte, compelling
Messrs. Thirty to move their store and Mr.. Neurille
Babin his dwelling house so or 100 yards back
to make room for a new road and levee.
From u pile OF exchanges now teture us, as we'll
as from information derived from number OF our
best and most experienced sugar planters, we are
perfectly satisfied that the present crop fall short
Of 300 900 hhds The cane is both short and small,
and the stand is not good one. There is not one
single planter in this parish who can boast Of first
rate crop.
We are sorry to learn that, in consequence of de-
cining health, the Hon. Robt. G. Beule Of the Sixth
Judicial District Court has sent in his resignation to
the Governor, to take effect GU and after the LIST of
December next.

The St. Helena Imperial of Saturday says:
Another week has passed without rain, and I'm to
the hour of going 10 press there is not the slightest
Indication OF an early change in the weather. The
ground is exceedingly dry. and in many places
where the woods have caught fire, the green grass
and underground burn as rapidly AS they do in mid
winter. Dust pervddes every place, (-xcept our
purse> and u shower would I've very welcome.
The season SO far has been very propitious for
catering crops, aud il this dronth continues two weeks
longer we believe that the entire cotton crop of the
parish will be in market. From all parts OF the
country hear very serious complaints OF the short.
ness OF the corn crop. Few have made enough to do
them. and many WIN have heretofore sold corn every
year will now be compelled to buy.
The CoyingtonW anderer records two cases of &C.
cldentsl shooting. by which. however, nobody was
BADLY hurt. The Wanderer says:
Another week of dry and sultry weather has just
CLOSED. M sign of rain yet. The potato crop. if
TINS dry season keeps up much longer, will turn out
IN en,re future. The p n crop il already gone.
