WANTED HAT.-John Macarthur, young
man, became impressed with the idea that, as
his hat was old, he required a new one, and
that the cheapest mode was to steal it. About

Shippen streets, threw Off his old cap, and
appropriated, Vi et dTnliS, fine dress hat, not

that he would be placed in an unenviable posi-

but was soon arrested by Officers Garrison and
Sameltuck, of the Fifth District, and was
taken to the Station House, but In so doing the
officers found it necessary to use their clubs

GREAT FIRE IN CHATTANooGA.-A most
disastrous fire occurred in Chattanooga on
the evening Of Friday. the 20th inst, which
resulted in the destruction Of the Crutch-
field House, involving loss of one hundred
thousand dollars. An esteemed cores
pondent furnishes the following particulars !:
On Friday evening the C-utchfeld House,
one of the principal hotels in Chattanooga,
was completely destroyed by fire. Owing
to the early departure of the train, it Is inn
possible 60 obtain full particulars. It seems
that the boy who was entrusted with light
ing the lamps Of the house had just lett
the lamp room with tray load Of lighted
lamps In passing cut at the door, he stun
bled and fell The lamps were broken. and
the kerosene spread oyer the floor In a
very few minutes the whole building was an
immense sheet Of fame Every effort was
made to save the furniture and contents OF
the house, yet the flames spread so rapidly
that but little was secured. The citizens
turned out en- B1dsse but, as they have no en-
CINE in the place, the only assistance they
could render was to save the adjoining build
ings For a time the PostOlice, Southern
/ Express Office and the Kaylor House were
/ IN great danger, but all were eventually
saved. The loss is estimated at nearly one
+ hundred thousand dollars.

EASTERN Texas CoTToN CRoP.-We clip
from the Henderson Times, a neat and relia-
bic paper printed in the town of Henderson,
Rusk county, Texas, the following items:
The question is settled so far as the cotton
and the worms are concerned, in this section
of the country, and the worms are decidedly
In the ascendant. We hear from but few
plantations where the worm has not wrought
complete destruction of the leaf-the larger
bOlls are uninjured.
As to the extent of the crop that viii
probably be gathered in this section, farmers
materially difer-some say they viii not
make more than a third crop, others not
more than half crop, whilst others think
they will make full two-thirds. 1t is proba
bic that about one-half crop will be gathered
in this and adjoining counties-say 400 to
800 lbs. per acre. Rusk county VIII pToba-
bly, make about 5000 bales, against 10000
made last year

Oh! TURN THOSE EYES FROM NE.

By J. AUaUsrlSs s1axAIoo.

Oh! turn these lovely eyes from me.
There's magic in their gaze
Which draws my soul nearer to thee
To worship and TO praise.
Still if theu wilt not lock this way,
Less happy win be
Yet charms that do within them play,
But make slave Of
gurn turn from me those lovely eyes.
They've bound me with their speu.
They have the blue lock Of the skies
That shara the heart 50 well.
But yet, my soul is full Of sighs,
UElsss that lock l see;
OH temper, temper With those eyes
Thoust made slave Of me.
Oh chaTmer. turn those eyes away
Or take thy heart,
For tLou dost hold thy sway
With sirens magic art
All that look is paradise,
Aud says 1 am not free;
Still LET look those bright eyes,
They've made e slave Of me.
The above, says Signaigo, is truly the bal
lad to which Prof Eaton adapted to his
" last gem" Both music and poetry were
gotten up hurriedly, and little did the writer
think at the time, that he was penning the
last words his friend would ever use.

The most gloomy accounts reach US, says
the American Citizen, from the counties of
Southwestern Georgia, of the condition of
the cotton crop In consequence of the
incessant rains, the early cotton bolls have
either rotted or sprouted. This, added to
the shedding of the forms, has rendered it
almost certain that not one-haR the quantity
of cotton will be made that was anticipated
a month ago. 1t is considered too late in
the season for cotton not in bloom to mature
before frost. and hence the crop must be al
most failure. This viii be sad news to all
classes of the community, for all are inter
ested in the prosperity of the cotton planter
