CROPS OF EASTERN CAROLINA.-A late Spring
threw the cotton crop of this and neighboring
counties back little in the start this year. and the
indications that the crop of this season
will be rather light-hardly an average. The boil
worm has quite materially affected the stapl in
some sections-and there some backward hollis
upon the stalks now which will not have time to
mature
From what we have been able to learn by travel
and otherwise the corn crop of the extreme East
ern counties promises reasonably fair. Though
the crop somewhat injured by the drought,
the later crop will turn out wel-Edyecon,Le Farm.

pentcr, at Norwood's, Stanley county. the skin of
wildcat, killed about two weeks before, on Dun
laps Island, mouth of Rocky River, Arson county,
by Culpeper Watkins, jr. The skin looked as if
1t had belonged to an ancient aud formidable ami
NAL. 1t was very grey on the back, so much so
that the usual marks and spots had disappeared
The animal, before being skinned. measured three
feet from the tip of the tail the tip of the ears
and five inches around the fore leg. and the claw
when SPREAD was as large a two-year old child's
hand. 1t has been long time since wild cat
has been killed in that section Hadc<Joro' 4r-
