THERE are hundreds Of persons-former and
present students of the University, and others
who will be sorry TO learn that, of all the mag
nificent old trees that once adorned the campus,
and with which so many dear associations are
connected, naught now remains save few tall,
unsightly stumps. They have been stopped, "
and transformed, in appearance, into skeleton
trunks of 'squatterite" trees. 1t is said that
they will eventually be improved by the mutila-

The crops.
We have full and reliable information from ev-
cry portion of the county in regard to the crops.
The crop of corn is full average, for the county
at large, though there are few localities in
which it is unusually short. This CROP as we
have heretofore stated is made but the crop Of
cotton, which has promised until within few
days past to exceed the average production,
may yet be considerably shortened by the rust,
which has made its appearance in various plan
tations; though it spreads so slowly that our
planters still have reason to expect an ordinary
crop. "

The Weather.

SHORTLY after the date of our last ISSUE the
weather, which had been unusually cool for this
season, grew warmer and warmer until it became
quite oppressive. On Saturday and Sunday last,
the dust was--to use the language of a learned
friend of ours-"rampant, diffusivc, and fugi-
tiyc;' but refreshing rain fell on Monday which
has tempered the fervid heat of the atmosphere,
and transmitted each active particle of dust into
"squatterite.n V
