THE WEATHER AND CRoPs.-During the past week
the unprecedented cold weather has killed t kinds OF
vegetation dead a door-nail The gardens which
ten days ago looked so thriving, giving promise of
early vegetables are most completely ruined and will
have to be planted over again. The corn CROP of
which a large amount had been planted, experienced
planters inform will have to be planted over again
This will delay the crops two or three weeks a
severe drawback in this vicinity, where q severe
drought generally sets in between the twentieth and
thirtleth Of May Tie weather cleared off last satur-
day night with very heavy frost dissipating
all prospect OF fruit crop this year. During
residence of twenty years in this place. we have not
experienced anything like such cold weather at this
season Of the year. Two or three inches of snow on
the ground, a cutting wind blowing from the North
and the mercury at II degrees below the freezing
point, constitute what might properly be called cold
weather for the middle Of March. What has brought
about this change in the season. Ten or fifteen years
ago failure OF the fruit crop was the exception, now
any crop at all is the exception. Will some learned
savant eulghten as to the cause of this freak of
the season?

CoTToN REcEIPrs-The warehouse receipts Of cot
ton at this place since the ls September up to last
night &C, 395 bales. From the best information
gather there still some 10000 bales in the
interior to come forward. Our estimate at the com
mencement Of the from 49, 900 to so 900
bales. The estimated shipments from Old river for the
same time are 5000 bales. According to the report
Of the Superintendent of the Kouns canal 1872 bales
have passed through the canal from Upper Red river
since the 18th November. The shipments from the
upper river will reach upwards of 10000 bales. We
have but little data upon which to base an estimate Of
Tie cotton shipped from Jefferson. Up to the 1st of
January, the shipments amounted to $4,000 bales
Since that time it is safe to estimate that they have
shipped 5000 more. IF our estimates are correct,
we have shipped from this place and points above
here 1881 bales Of cotton since the lst September
We have 1900 bales on hand included in the above
