JOHN ID. HARRIS, for many years energetic
steamboatman, and agent, has left the plane Of
existence, it is to be hoped for better on the 4tf
inst Like the rest of mankind, he was by nc
means invaluable, or what we may term faultless
But they were his, aud his alone, none else car
therefore be held accountable so let them pass
with him.
His proverbial honesty of heart, and good will to
his fellow men, doubtless emanated not alone from
q desire 10 benefit his fellow man, but from his
early tutorage in the best principles his parentage
could instil. Clearly evincing matter how sur
rounded, or circumstsnced, precepts early taught
when left free to act from the inner, on the outer
man, that his Creator had placed therein that which
the dimmed occasionally, did nevertheless brighten
up, and make its marks of goodness upon his family
and fellow man.
He has left wife, and a number of children, not
only to lament his departure, but to be dependent
solely a fond mothers care nurture and protec-
hon, which tins eulogy is written for as testimony
of our respect
Though it may be out of the ordinary mode and
manner of such production, we heed it not; and
therefore conclude by advising not only his late
boating friends, but as many more as may think
proper to enrol themselves as such, to either the
deceased his family, that it now lays in their
power to bestow upon the widow and orphans their
smIte IN the way of patronage, in the purchase of
the goods of life which Mrs. HARRIS produces for
the steamboat and household table,

Crop intelligence.

A letter from Peacher's Mills. Montgomery coun
ty, gives the following information respecting the
wheat crop: The growing wheat crop ia this
county and in the adjoining counties Of Christian
and Todd, in Kentucy, looks remarkably well. The
recent cold weather, in exposed situations, has
turned it rather yellow, but by rstarding its rapid
growth it is generally considered az rather benef-
cisl than otherwise, essenng the danger of injury
by. the late frosts. Some Of the peach blossoms
have been killed by the FROST but from partial ex-
animation Ishould not consider that over onefourth
sre destroyed as yet, leaving abundance for good
crop" EH2st a
A letter from Smith county, dated the I'd inst,
says: "The prospect for fine grain crop is ex-
celleut-whest, though, generally, is most too far
advanced, and in some danger of late spring frosts,
but the yield promises to be large. Though the
peaches were out at least two weeks earlier than
last year, and have had snow, hail, and frost on
them, they not materially injured yet, and the
leaves are now growing so fast to render it
probable that the young fruit will be fully protected
against the wet and frost of April"
The Murfreesboro' Nelcs of the Sd says: |" The
CROP from all the information we can gain in
Rutherford county is very favorable indeed and is
looked to with great deal of interest by the people
-
The Dyersburg' Recorder of the Both ult says ::
THE young peaches, we learn, very little dam
aged, if at all, by the late cold weather The peach
crop in this county bids fair to be very abundant
The Fayetteville Observer of the 4th says: In
this Lncoln) county the first impression after the
freeze was, the peaches are gore,' but the later
inspections show we are told that only one-half or
tw0-thirds of the blooms were killed, leaving an
abundance if they mature, to afford liberal
yield"
