has discovered that new fashions lead to
crimes, and he instances particularly
the frequent stealings of chignons from
women's heads, and wonder if the new
dress coat with gilt buttons will induce
the discovery or invention of some here
tOfOre unheard of crime. OF course, new
as well as new fashions, create
crimes-if there were no engraving
and no bank note plates, or bond plates,

examples might be given to show how
many of our best c-onyeniences are ineVi-
accompanied by crimes which these
,~onveniences first suggest and create.

shoulder, and when within about thirty

heart, causing death Immediately. They
had a difficulty at a frolic the previous
night. Cotton crops are nything but
promising around here. The rains in
une brought on a heavy crop Of grass, |
in a great many fields il still has
The ascendancy. Corn prospects are only
Jolerable, not a large crop planted"
