CROPs.-0wing to the long continued wet
weather many of the cotton and corn fields
are beginning to don rather a verdant APP
pearance Both cotton and corn look we'll
and our planters console themselves to some
extent with well founded anticipations of
rousing crop Wheat is doing finely, and
gives promise of a heavy yield, especially
that planted upon the rolling or table lands.
There will be an abundance Of fruit: ap-
pie, peach, pear and plum trees are literally
crowded with young fruit of the most heal
thy nature. Speaking of plums, induces US
to remark that Harderman county, at least
that portion of it Immediately around Boil
var, can beat the world +" Ia that delicious
fruit; almost every ravine, and they are in
Vulnerable has its dense thickets of plum
bushes, the most Of which bear the finest
species of large red, yellow and spotted
plums. When we assert that it is our opin-
ION that this county could furnish enough
plums for the entire District it is shorne Of
the least semblance of boasting. 1t is a
remarkable fact that the bushes which bear
this fruit spring up spontaneously along the
hill-sidcs and ravines IN countless numbers,
and are true natives of the soil, as much so
as the useless cactus is to the rocky ridges
of Tamaulepas or Chihuahua RI .er.

Preamble.

Inasmuch as we deem it a sacred duty of
the living to pay some respect to the memory
of those who fell in the late struggle, giving
up their lives in a cause which was ours as
well as thei- own; and as many of the purest
and best citizens of our county persisted at
the post Of duty, and now rest ia graves
unknown and unmarked. we believe it due
from US to each and every one of them to
hand down to posterity some testimonial of
our appreciation of their sacrifice, therefore
ResoZUed, That we, the undersigned. agree
to form ourselves into an. organization for
the purpose of bringing this object to the
attention Of the people of our county, and
pledge each other that we will use our best
energies to have erected, in Court Square in
ine town of Bolivar, or some other suitable
place. "a monument commemorative Of the
dead Of Hardefnan county.

We are pleased to meet in our town, Col
McCullum, who was, previous to the war,
editor of the Vicksburg Sun. When the
tOcsin of war first rent tie air Of his sammy
home, Col. McCullum, among the first, laid
aside his able pen and unsheathed his sword
in defense Of his country's honor, and he
remained true to the cause he had espo1s6d
till the last hope was forever lost He re-
ceived two very severe wounds, barely reeov>
ering from each. He is going TO revive his
paper at Grenada Miss. We wish him sues
cess.

How To TREAT ERozES LlMbs.-Thc
New York Etenmg Post, in an article
on this subject, says that frozen limbs
should never be rubbed. The juices
of the tleshy tissues, when frozen III
their minute sacs or cells, at once be-
come i'll each of these enclosures crys-
tails, having large number of angles
and sharp points and hence rubbing
the flesh causes them to cut or tear
their way through the tissues, so that
when it is thawed the structure of tho
muscles is more or less destroyed. =.
The proper mode Of treatment is thus
stated
When any part Of the body is fro
zcn, it should be kept perfectly quiet
until i. is thawed out, which should
he done promptly. AS freezing takes
place from the surface ilwardly, so
thawing should be in the regerss or
der, from the inside outwardly. The
thawing out of portion of flesh, with
out at the same time putting the blood
from the heart into circulation through
it, produces modification but by
keeping the more external parts still
congealed till the internal heat and
the external blood gradually soften
the most interior parts, and produce
circulation of the blood as fast ~
thawing takes place, most Of these
dangers are obEiatcd.

and winter scenery have singular
attraction TO the inhabitants OF tho
hot regions. These are to them the
very romance of nature. In my trav-

SouTu AMrnIcA.-At this time the
whole of South America seems to be
engaged in war. Tire empire Of
Brazil, the largest and tiiost stable
government, in conjunction with the
Argentine Confederation, a republic,
is waging war upon Paraguy, an ad-
Joining republic. In 1862 an attempt
was made TO break the connection be-
tween Buenos Ayres and the Argen-
tine Confederation, which failed, and
the secessionists fleeing to Paraguy,
induced President Lopez to espouse
their cause and march an army into
their former country, with the cxpee-
tation that large Numbers of disap-
pointed persons would assist in the
contemplated revolution. The army
was not, however, well received, and
by the aid furnished by an alliance
with Brazil, was finally driven back
to its own country, *here emong the
