They were, we think, of the Early Rose and
Goodrich varieties. Potatoes just from the

THE WEATHER AND CRoPs.-Our imme>
diate vicinity is still suffering for rain, only
slight shower having fallen in several weeks,
ard that scarcely sufficient to lay the dust.
Crops and gardens are all but dried up in the
belt thus deprived of rain, but we are re-
joiced to say that good seasons have blessed
the district generally. The dry spots are
not many, otherwise We would have much
cause to despond over the prospect AS it
is there will be large crop Of corn and cot
ton made. The upper districts too are having
good rains and we learn that corn and cotton
both are fine, and that the former, of which
q great deal has been planted, never prom
ised better.
ACCIDENTAL DEATu.-We record with
pain the death of Mr.. Bennett Stlckman,
which sad event occurred at the house Of his
father, on Saturday last, near Zion, in the
neighborhood Of Stony Battery. The par

the deceased, and his brother, were preparing
for squirrel hunt in the afternoon, and just
before starting, the gun Of the latter, which
had been placed in the piazza, by some
means fell, the cock striking the floor, and
causing the gun to explode, the contents
entered the breast Of the unfortunate
young man, killing him almost Immediately.
Mr.. Stuckman was just 20 years Of age, and
in fnc health and of vigorous frame.
