The Wnn Parish Sentinel Of the 18th says:
For several nights we have been having frost,
and so severe in many places as to destroy the
more tender vegetation.
Almost every paper from the upper parishes
speaks Of heavy sfrosts, though no material dam
age appears to have resulted to the crops.
The Natchtoches Chronicle of the goth says:
Dnring the week we have had quite cool weather.

day, being things indispensable. Our merchants
are opening their winter stock for the inspection Of
customers, and as heretofore, none have favored

On last Sunday morning we were visited by light
frost. The river above Ia reported to be rising
slowly, but at this point, We learn that It Is

From the Rapides National Democrat we ex-
tract the following:
Since the damages of the late storm we have en-
| oyed uninterrupted duration of genial sun
| shine-such an atmosphere as we imagine lovers
will enjoy when love becomes immortal. The
days are all that October sun can make pleasant,
with the cool wind from the regions of the North.
| Our cotton crops will sum up full average one
| and many planters will make heavy crops.
| Our cane crops have felt the biting cold OF the
last few days, but not to sufficient extent to dc
any damage-it Is only good warning to be
| ready for the next visit of Jack Frost. Some o
| our planters have already commenced grinding
| but the crop will hardly be half one.

Shocking Accident.


A MAN KILLED AND A WOMAN TERRIBLY MANG'
LED BY FALLING TREE.-A correspondent Of the
Lexington Dispatch writing from Decaturvle,
Tennessee, under date of the l4th instant, gives
the following particulars of a terrible calamity:
As some negroes were passing the road leading
from this place to PeTyyille, this morning, near
Rushing Creek, they were attracted by the cries of
female, and upon examination found near the
road woman lying by the fire with her husband,
both confined by log across them. 1t appears
that they were travelling and had stopped to camp,
and had built their fire near dead tree which
caught fire after they had fallen asleep, and burn
ing off near the ground, fell angling across them,
breaking both the woman's legs, just below the
knee, and killing the man almost instantly. When
interrogating the woman, we learned that the tree
had fallen across them several hours before day,
and that her husband lived long enough to tell her
what to do after he was dead. She said she called
till she could call no longer, for some one to come
to her relief after her husband died mot being
able to extricate HERSELF. She also stated that
her maiden name was Watts, and that her hus-
bands name was Jefferson Kelly; that they had
been married about three months, and were going
across Tennessee river where corn was cheaper.
When we reached the place where the unfortun.
ate persons were, the scene was most horrifying,
and the cries of the poor woman when taken away
from her husband were enough to melt the most
obdurate heart.

An OLD MAN MuRprapp. = The Montgomer

An OLD MAN MURDERED. - The Montgomery
(Ala.) Advertiser Of Tuesday last has the follow
ing:
On Sunday morning last, just before daylight, a
poor old man by the name Of William Meredith,
who resided in the vicinity of the Montgomery and
West Point Railroad depot, was inhumanly as
saulted, in front of his own door, by some unknown
person. No one except the wife Of the unfortu-
nate man seems to have any knowledge of the af.
fair; and although she saw several of the fatal
blows struck, she was unable to discover whether
| the assaultng party was white or black man.
From the effect of the wounds received. which
were probably produced with club the old man
expired on Sunday night, in perfect state OF n,l-
| consciousness. He leaves large family. We
hope the perpetrator of this diabolical deed will
| yet be brought to Justice.

CoTroN GRor IN WESTERN MIssIssIpPI.-The
Kinds county Gazette of Wednesday last says:
The shortness of the present crop Of cotton IN
this region may be inferred when we state that,
we have met with number of planters during the-
past week who have already picked ont their en-
tire crops. When ii is remembered that picking
usually continues until December, it is evident that
great falling off has occurred. We adhere to The
opinion expressed month or two since. that tass
crop of Kinds county for 1860 will fall fully one
half short of q full average crop.
