THECRoPs.-The farmers have been COM
plaiAing of the dry weather. There was 30
many hard beating rains, that a very short
appearance of the sun has exhausted every
particle of moisture. Indeed We have heard
that some farmers have stopped the plows,

such hard ground. "It is hard wind that
blows no good,n however, and though the
growth of the crops be retarded by the
drOuth, yet it will at least have the benefit OF
the farmers to get their crops

the night with his mother-in-law. About
half past eleven o'clock on the night in
question, Mr.. Besenburg, looking in the
direction of his home, saw the light of his
burning house, and was probably the first
TO discover the fire but he was over mile
from the scene, and before his neighbers
could be aroused the building was past
saving. On forcing the front door it was
that one of the back doors was
open, and as this back door was
fastened by Mr.. Besenburg's family when
they left, il is almost certain that the house
was subsequently visited, either for plumber
or ineendiarism, or both. Mr. Besenburg's |
loss is about $780, all that he is worth. |

DrABoLICAL ATTEMPT AT MURDER
We are informed, by parties residing on the
Macon road, of bloody occurrence about
ten miles out from the city, on Wednesday
last, which will probably resnl. in
the death of a negro woman. 1t would
seem that some two weeks since darky,
known in the neighbOrhOOd as Jim Davis,
fell out with his wife and left her with the
threat that he would return and kill her.
Nothing was seen or heard Of him after this
until Wednesday morning last, when he re-
appeared in the yard in the front of ms
cabin and called TO his wife to come out.
On hearing his voice, forgetting the threat
he had made, and suppOsing that he had
come back 10 make up the quarrel, the ne
gro woman rushed to the door; but no
sooner had she presented herself than Davis
raising shotgun he had with him, dis
charged the contents Of two barrels in her
face, entirely shooting away her lower jaw
and wounding her seriously in the neck and
shoulder. After perpetrating this piece of
and supposing his victim to be
dead, he left the premises again, and has
not since been seen or heard of in the neigh
borhood. The woman was discovered ly-
ing in the yard few hours afterward, by
parties who happened to be passing along
the road, and written statement Of the
affair drawn up and by them furnished the
police in this city. The woman, it is thought,
cannot recover from her wonnds.-1iem
