The famous English Eleven Oricketers have
hcen playing i,.ntch against the Gentlemen Of
England vt home. Their playieg was better
than anything thcy exhibited while in this
country. One Of their number, Mr. Carpenter,

| stroke ofthe balf. LiJwhite aod Caesar made

to the result Of tho United States census now
taking place. The population Of a few towns

the population slnce 1855, when the last State
census wRs taken. In regard t3 Boston, moth.

that moderate increase will be shown, reach-

CONDITION OF THE SOUTHERN CEors We fcpr
thaE the crops Of the South have received eeri-
Gus injury within the last month. Not fer years
rienced in the Southern States. In some sec
tions no rain OF any consequence has fallen |
sine. ths 1st Of April. This is especially true |
Of Texas, certain counties in this Stare, ard |
Middle Georgia, in which hitter section, accord |
ing 10 writer IN GeorgIa paper, more rain |
than has bccn had there since the 1st OF 'aru-
arr. These, it may be said, are exceptional |
cases. True, but there Is nov but little differ
ence in the condition Of the crops in most of |
the cotton States. Our accounts fror, various
districts Of Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Missis. |
to say The least, discaureg;n2. Craps in these |
States have been not only oppressed BY
drought unprecedented in it's duration, but !
within the lest month they hare had to struggle
for existence in the face Of sun Of almost tor
rid brlll;ancc and power, dcwless nights, and !
the prevalence lin some parts) Of high scourca-
ing wind5, which sllriTelled up vegetation as if |
a sIrocco had passed oyerit The consequence
of SUCH weather is ohriors-N. o. Commercial!

In i short time his father took him to Nash

anything for him, and happily made No expert

In the course Of the performance, all at once he
