WILSON County IrExs-The Lebanon Herald of
the 2Ist contains the following items
RReat-The growing wheat crop in this county
is very promising. There is fine stand and it pre-
SCENTS an unusually fine and vigorous apDearance
The usual quantity has been sown. Should the sea-
sons continue favorable we may look for an unpre-
ceGented harvest which would be a great relief to
our people. Another failure would well nigh ruin
our country.
Pork.-Seven cents is the ruling price for pork in
this market, though some instances as high as "a
has been paid. The quantity in the country is lin
tied, and not better than it should be.
Hard Times-Neyer in our recollection have times
been so hard as they are st present Provisions
are rather scarce and very high, and money-well,
there is no such thing in this county. If there Is it
is carefully slowed away There is none in crcula-
ton. Unless the times greatly improve, and that
speedily, there is compelled to be great suffering
throughout the country. -a..
Cheap Neqroes-A couple of negro men were sold
to the highest bidder at the Court House last Mon
day. BEBB, excellent field hand, stout and heal
thy, aged 40 years, was sold for S45l. JOHN a No.
hand, very likely, brought sos, cash. They were
the property Of JosEPHUs WALKER Two months
ago the same negroes would have brought $4,000
DOUGLAS HA1--The Double Minstrel Troupe is
Oming- four nights only. Messrs. SHoREY, d.
PREF GREEN's New Orleans and Metropolitan Ope-
IA Troupe, consisting of sixteen Ethiopian denea-
tors and Brass Band of ten pieces will give four
Grand Concerts, on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday evenings of next week. introducing
each night entirely selection of acts select
ed from the gems of Ethiopian Minstrelsy.
The Mobile Advertiser has the following in rela-
ton to this company
The best circus we ever had here never drew, for
four consecutive nights, better houses than have
graced the amphitheatre since the commencement
of the engagement of the New Orleans and Metro
politan Burlesque Opera Troupe. On Wednesday
night several gentlemen who came in late were com
PEELED to stand up for lack of seats and on last night
again pretty much the same state of affairs existed.
This Is the best Recommendation of their excellence
that can be given Ii would scarcely be doing some
OF the performers JustiCz to pass their Wednesday
nights concert over without saying something more
than simply-"the performance was good one"
The song 1.-The Mocking Bird" with limitations, was
a splendid thing, and the DianO performance came
in for good share of commentator from lovers
and trTe appreoIat0rs Of music present The
cheek music and the operate imitation were also
good, and need 70 be seen TO be fully appreciated
THE WAR IN INDn-Odd Fellows Hall was well
filed last night to witness the unique and attractive
exhibition Of d. c. Ia RUEs Panopncon and the
general verdict was certainly one of warm APP
prOval.
The skin and effectiveness of the representation
Of some Of the scenes were truly striking and won
derful. The shock OF armies, the thunder of arti
ery the roll Of musketry, the charges, recoh and
death struggles of armed men, were quite wildly |
represented, snd some of the views of Indian cities,
edifces scenery, customs and people, were full of
interest.
The scene representing Lieutenant PERKINS and !
his wonderful steed Triconi the most vivid and
Ife-like produced by mechanical
means. The illusion almost complete, and the
view was worth the price Of admission.
The closing scene the wreck Of the Ava in the
Bay Of Bengal, was also well rendered, The imita-
ton of lightning thunder rain and particularly
the surging billows was wonderfully faithful, and
gave much satisfaction.
The hail having previously been engaged, there
will be exhibition tomorrow night, but will be
again opened on Monday night.
