the opinion that many localities the crops are
riOusy damaged. Portions of this county are suf
fering from the cause, and unless we have rain
in few days the Injury to the crop will be ir
reparRble. The oats crop, which has been harvest

Saturday, was found the body of Happy Jack, free
man Of color, and also of white woman, by name
Mrs. Williams in a dreadfully mangled condition,

DRowNED-The Lawreuceburg Seaiiaa says the |
body of RoBEKr Nell I'm, Sr., an old citizen who |
resided in the southern portion of Lawrence coun
~, was found some two weeks ago, in the pond of
the Clay Factory, two miles south of Lawrence
burg He was seen the day previous his way,

returned their verdict, drowned; cause unknown
His clothes were found on the bank some distance
above where he was lying. 1t is supposed he went
into the water to battle, and cramping unable
TO reach the bank
The CRors-Thes severe drought which is now
visiting u.s. fear will prove disastrous to the farm
ers. The crops which looked so promising few
weeks since, are now literally burning up for
want of rain. Fields of corn which were pct in
without much previous preparation, such as deep
ploughng in the spring aud subsequent cultivation.
show the visible effects of bad husbandry. Unless
we get rain the best and most judiciously
cultivated fields will be cut short of what they might
produce.
We have no reliable information from the cotton
and tobacco fields, but presume that these plants
will not suffer much the grain crops-Ireuon
Democrat, JUty2l.

amazed at the perfdy of him whom he had
always considered his best friend, the injured
husband could scarcely realize what had
