wHAraER, CRors, Erc.-In the midst of balmy,
spring weather, with no present prospect Of =

rsalised-aud We fervently hope they may-we may
look for . large crop from this parish the ensu ing

. contamination, and reasonably fair weather from
this time out, will assuredly bring it. Some OF our
thrown out, have planted largely in corn, which, Of

ready market in New Orleans or elsewhere. Much Of
