CRlsp's GuErr THEATEE-ME CoINs.-The
weather seems to have a spite against the Drama
this season, and on the very first night Of Mr.. Col
Inns engagement we had change back from spring
to wntry weather. A very fair audience, however,
assembled to welcome the great Irish humorist
and as soon as they got sight Of the genial SIM
shine Of his good-humUred face, there was no
further thought of bad weather. Asa vocalist, we
consider Mr. c. the best baIlad-singer the STAGE
aud we cannot doubbut that his hearty ovia style
of acting and his fine voice viii secure large at
tendance at the Gaiety this week.
The plays for tomorrow night are the Nervous |
Aaz, and the Happy Hu,, the Magic Shirt, IN |
which, Of course, Mr.. Collins plays the leading |
Irish character.
FARMERS A1AEuED-The Chattanooga Advertiser
Of the 9th ult says: Eve have eoHversed with nu-
merous farmers throughout the county, and without
an exception they all unite in representing the pres
ert stand of wheat being seriously and hopelessy
damaged so much so, that acres upon acres viii be
plowed up and resown with spring grains. They /
inform rs that some fields can scarcely show spear
Of grain even. We have no desire to spread I'M
necessary alarm but our farmers are quite unani- /
nous in their belief that not a half Of an ordinary
crop viii be harvested
HEAVY Fnr.-Thc Lebanon Herald says Mr.. |
BAsKINs of GAINESVILLE, in Wilson county, was up be
fore the Circuit Court at its late term in Lebanon,
charged with carrying bowIe-knife about his per
son. He was fined 500 and sent to Jail for three
months. If every man was sent to Jail who car
Iies deadly weapons our jails would have to be
greatly enlarged

weather last evening, the concert by the PARoDT
Opera Troupe idnot take place as advertised 1t
