Charles Wilson was arrested for grand larceny,
but admitted to bail, John Moore being his surety.
He forfeited his bail, but was again arrested on
another charge OF grand larceny. This time he gave
his name as Charles Hart, and was again bailed by
the same bondsman. He again forfeited his bail,
but was soon after arrested for the first offence and
sent to State Prison. His surety, Moore, yesterday
applied for the remission Of the forfeited ball. stating
that he made every effort to bring the prisoner to

WEATHER AND CROPS.

The Newherry Herald says: ''our immedi-
ate vicinity is still suffering for rain, only q
slight shower having fallen in several weeks,
and that scarcely sufficient to lay the dust.
Crops and gardens are all but dried up IN tne
belt thus deprived OF rain, but we are rejoiced
to say that good seasons have blessed the dis
trict generally. The dry spots are not many,
otherwise we would have much cause to des-
pend over the prospect. AS it is there will be
q large crop Of corn and cotton made. The
upper districts, too,, are having good rains,
fine, and that the former, of which great
deal has been planted, ,neverpromised better" !"
The Sumter News says: "Recent rains, we
understand, have materially benefited the
crops, especially corn, in the various parts Of
the county. A friend at PacksVille, Clarendon
County, Writes. as follows: The crops are very
good IN this section Of the county. Where
ihey have been worked, they are better than
they have been for several years past"
