THE CELEBRATED MEMPHIS JUDGE.-A Memphis dis
patch, of the 10Th ult, says the notorious Judge Hun
ter, who incarcerated the editor Of the Avalanche,
turns out to be a defaulter and jail bird. Official doc
uments furnished the Avalanche from Mercer, Ohio,
where Hunter resided in 1847, show him up in bis
true light. The court records prove him to be a de-
faulter to the county while acting as trustee, to the
amount of six thousand and some hundred dollars.
He was imprisoned in the Celina (Mercer county, o.
Jail in, 1856, for embezzletaent. He served q term OF
one year in the penitentiary. He served out another
term in the Mercer county Jail for petit larceny. They
are the kind of men Browniow selects for poiltica
tools. Hunter undertook to suppress the Avalanche,
but the Avalanche has suppressed him and his court.

THE CoTToN CRoP.-The New Orleans Times tall
on change" in speaking of the fluctuations in the
price of cotton, says:
What we desire to impress on the minds Of planter;
and others is that cotton above twenty-five cents II 10
even for currency, is not a safe article to concentrate in
With the repeal of the revenue tax, and the recent adj
vance, planters or farmers are preparing to extend cot
ton culture to the neglect of corn and other essentials.
With anything of a favorable season, there will be the
same disturbance next year in the cotton markets Of
Europe as the past season. Prices may decline to I'D,
or 15c. here. We have merely to say to planters, do
not plant too much cotton seed. There are now | $50,
600 bales cotton at light at the same time We have
no information how many bales have been received at
Philadelphia and Boston by the inland route. Which
way the los, 900 bales exported from Cincinnati have
gone, it is difficult to ascertain.

THE BLACK Crook great spec
tacular drama, which has created such a
sensation everywhere, and been received
with q success unparalleled by any dramatic
spectacle ever produced, was given at
Turner Hall, last Monday evening, to a
very large audience Notwithstanding the
dlsagreeable state Of the weather. The
play of itself does not amount to much
and the whole interest is centred in the
scenery and the dancing. provided the
ballet troupe is good one.
The play is introduced with a scene in
valley at the foot of the Hartz Noun
tains and dance by the ballet corps,
following with the scenes of a woody pass,
the laboratory Of the Black Crook, an
apartment in the Castle of Woifenstein,
the Serpents' Glen in the Heart of the
Broken, and closing the first act with the
'"Tableau of Horrors" This rapid
change of scenery is followed up through
out the entire play and all the grand
paraphernalia of the dramatic spectacle
successfully produced. Taking every
thing into consideration the scenery was
as good as could have been expected and
a little improvement ir the ballet corps
would materially improve the production
of the ''Black Crook" by Manager Mills.
The play was reproduced on Wednesday
evening.

Letter from Two Rivers.

Two RIVERS, February "a, 1868.
EDS. TRIBUNE
This place IS no exception to the dull
ness that preyades all over the country at
this season of the year, but hope that
before long, things will liven up little,
and something take place that viii be of
more interest to the readers of the TRI-
BUNE, than that which I am able to
write about at present.
The fishermen of this village are nov
busily engaged in filing their ice houses
and by far the largest quantity that has
ever been cut during any winter is now
being stored away. tits as transparent as
glass and better article can not be had
anywhere. What luxury it would be
to the residents of Chicago during the
summer months. Such clean, beautiful
ice would command high price. and
seems to me, it would pay to ship it
there.
A small boy came near drowning in the
Michicott river the other day. He was
watching the men cutting ice, slipped and
fell into the water. One of the work
men rescued him from watery grave.
The house and lot belonging to Mr. G..
H. Jennison was sold few days ago to
Rev. G. ". Wilson for $500.
The party given by one Of our promi-
nent citizens last week, was very fine
affair. Music and dancing enlivened the
guests until the ''wee sma hours" in the
morning, and all were highly pleased with
the evenings entertainment.
OF course [ cannot close my short letter
without saying something about the
weather. One of the severest snow
storms that we have experienced this
winter ragged all day Sunday, The snow
has drifted to such an extent that some
Of the roads came nearly being blocked
entirely. E.
