Sugar Making-Grinding season in
the parish of Point Coupee has opened
in good earnest. The Echo of the
9th says:
Sugar making has become quite gene
raj in this parish. The yield so far is
below the anticipations of planters.
With the exception of our neighbor
Col. Claiborne, whose cane is yielding
nearly two hogsheads per acre, we
learn the yield has scarcely exceeded,
on an average, half hogshead. The
samples of sugar exhibited to us are of
fair quality. The grinding season in
our parish will be of short duration.
Many of our largest planters will not

Their for grinding their short crops, that
it is probable, by the close of Novem-
Der the crop will be finished.
In view of any contingency to the
crop of next year, the planters profting
by dear experience, have adopted the
wise rule of ceasing to rely upon the
rattoons and saved enough plant cane
to make u fair crop. In the event of a
favorable result of the stubble cane an
unusually large crop"will result.
The election held in Bayou Sara OF
the 18th ult., to take the sense of the
qualified voters of said town, whether a
tax should be levied for school purposes
or not, resulted in favor of the tax,
there being but two dissenting votes.

The Wcather. - The weather has

Burelarv at Czarksr;ue. Mo.-Lv

Burglary at ClarksriHe, Mo.-Lynci
ing ofhe Burglars.-The clerk of the
steamer Northerner gives information
concerning an affair which has created
quite an excitement in the little town of
GAINESVILLE, Pike county, about one
hundred miles from st. Louis. The
Bulletin says:
It seems that about a week ago, three
men, whose names we could not learn,
broke open u store, and with powder
succeeded in blowing open the safe,
from which they took large amount of
money. They fed, and a committee
was chosen the next day to hunt them
up and bring them to Justice. The COM
mittee made strict search in several
places, and on Wednesday found two
of the burglers at Capau-Gris, above
this city. The men were taken back to
Clarksville, when large number OF
people met in the night to express their
feelings in the matter. 1t is supposed
that the burglars were shot, as they
could not be found on Friday, and no.
body would tell where they were. A
hat belonging to one of them was founC
perforated with bullets. There is nc
doubt but that the men were lynched
and the citizens express great regret
that they could not have caught the
other man.

Manufacturing DIS tress Comtnea Gin e
atMe North-A letter from New Haven,
Con-, of the 25th, has the subjoined
paragraph:
In New Haven,s at this present time,
there are over sixty coachlnakers doing
but little in the way of fitting out for
the southern trade. Nine-tenths of the
people get their living when fully en-
ployed in the trade. Cooks the largest
establishment, gives work only three
days in the week to their men. A
southern purchaser who used to buy
some $4,000 worth, this season bought
only $4,000 worth. All of the small
towns near by have no work, and at
New Haven hundreds are out of en-
ployment.

Secretary Cobb. - We regret to hear
(remarks the New York Sum that Mr..
Cobb, who was once an earnest Union
mar, is now taking the back track and
declaring for dsunion should the republi-
can candidate be elected president. He
was 4 firm unionist when the dis union
party resisted the admission of California
and then won distinction by combating the
extreme views of Mr.. Calhoun and his
friends. 1t is hardly fair, after Mr.. Cobb
has got all the money he wants, princi-
paiiy from New York, to come here as an
ala rinist, and aid, so tar as his official in
fiuence may extend, the "bear" operators
upon our stock exchange. His time
would be better spent in examining the
results of his system of contracting labor
in the public stores, which has made his
name so unpopular with the workiagmen
of this city.

Singular .Scene-GirL Dancers Sold
at Auction.--A foreign correspondent,
writing from a town in Germany, says ::
"The auction of dancers at a vii
lage is a curious affair. The girls are all
assembled on an open space, generally IN
front of the burgomaster's house of bust
ness, and an auctioneer having been
chosen among the young men, generally
Wag in his way-tne names of RosChen,
Narmschen, Kirtchen and all the other
cheers Gan endearing diminutive by which
the lasses are styled are called out, and
the auction for the dancer proceeds, which
gives the highest bidder the sole right
over her hand for the year, at all the t&te
dances and aejoicngs which take place,
and these are not few. 1t is generally an
understood thing that it is akin to a de-
claraton, bat still is not in any way bind
ing. OF course there are struggles and
competition for the prettiest, but she falls
to the richest. The cash goes to pay
musicians and a spread or two, and if
anything is over, it is given to the
church.

Mail Boat Ag7ound.-The steamer

arriving here shortly after four o'clock
p. M. Her mails were ent up early

Clay went to her assisbahce and took
off all her passengers, lot of horses
and some heavy freight, which light
ened her considerably. We learn that

which caused her to get off her course.

Imbeciles.-One caild in one thousand

Imbeciles.-One caid in one thousand
is an mbecle. There are 10000 in the
United States. They are SO by ill-mads
maria ges, by drunkness of parents, by
neglect and ill-treatment, and sometime
by medicine. Very little has ever
been done for them or thought possible.
But it is ture that almost all such chill
dren can be brought up so as to gain
sufficient mental strength to take care
of themselves, and be measurably in
telligent and happy. The schools for
imbecilcs in Paris have shown this.
The little spark Of mind they have must
be watched, then famed and blown by
degrees into flame. 1t may be done
in "a large majority of cases. Schools
have recently been established in
Massachusetts Pennsylvania and New
York.

the demand for that spaces of property
from the south has almost entirely ceased
1t attributes the fact TO the excitement en-
rendered throughout the country by the

He was well dressed, and had every ap-

clue to the name or residence Of the
man.
