Enosr.-Tho fields and gardens were white on
Sunday morning last with the first frost of the
season for this section. Cotton, pens apd potato
vines were all killed by 1t.
Many more bales Of cotton would have been the
result Of two weeks more time for maturing, the
crop being late whilst the same remark may be ap-
Piled to the pea crop.-Sunate7' Watch1nan.
* FREAK OF NAruRE.-Mr. "A. &. Murphy, Of our
town, has left at our Office hens egg Qthb pro-
ducton, as he most positively informs ys.of small
black hen Of the game breed) which smeasures
seven inches round from base to point and six
inches in circumference, measured tho other way.
The reader may doubt this, but ne think the fact
well authenticated.
THE PROSPERITY OF aumrER-Is now becoming
the subject Of remark Of almost every visitor, and
especially Of those who have seen the old town in
former days. And really it seems that each day

pace with tho increased and increasing domand3

The WEATHEn.-Since our last issue we note tho
,I4r
tion It is what we looked for; but With tho back
ward growth and otherwise short cotton crop, the
cutting off of the unmatured and unopon great sta
pie, Of which there is o considerable quantity,
uakos it only this much the shortor We hope for
good, however, that with this change Of weather
the many diseases 80 prevalent will disappear
Abundance OF rain has also fallen.

TIE WEATHER AND TIE CRops-Sinco our last we
have had quite q cold snap for the season, and we
are told, on the authority OF "a reliable gentle-
man, that little ice was seen last Tuesday morn
ing. Be this as it may, we have had quite FROST
and We are sorry to learn that the late rico has boon
injured thereby. So much valuable time was wasted
in the early Spring, in consequence Of the unwll-
lngness on tho part Of the freedmen to 60 to work
perhaps, as the middle Of June, and being scarcely
out of blossom or the milky stage was accordingly
blighted. This will tend to render the crop Of the
district even smaller than at first estimated. Day
before yesterday was miserable day favorable for
suicides it rained in torrents and blew tolerably
hard, but this morning is frosty and bracing, and
we might bid farewell to genial October, and retire
into winter quarters.-G Georgetown Times. =.
