The Weather and the Crops.

The weather is now very hot and
dry, and is becoming quite dusty,
The corn crop, though injured by
the unfayorable weather through
which it has passed, is better than
was expected Immediately after the
storm, and will yield, owing to the
increased acreage, probably as much
as, if not more than last year.
The cotton crop willmostprobably
not be so much as last year, because
less has been planted this year, and
it has been retarded in its growth
by too much rain. Tt is doing very
well now, except were it has not
been cleared of the grass. On ac-
!. count of the advance in the price,
the prospects are that the growing
crop will be as valuable, if not more
so, than that of last year.
Cane has been doing well all the
time, but needs rain just now.
Since writing the above, we have
had a shower of rain, accompanied
with considerable wind, and some
hail.

Summer Departures.

Owing to the warm weather, adult
season for business and nothing to
do, there has been quite an exodus
this summer among u town popu-
lation. Some, who have the time
and means, have gone North, to Vir-
ginia, Tennessee, and other places;
while q large number, individuals
and families, old and young, male
and female, are continually going to
andreturning from the many mineral
and other springs scattered along
the western border of this parish,
ranging from thirty to forty miles
from Opelousas. All these springs,
fonror five III number, are widely Sc
parated, and situated in localities, on
or ear streams and in the wild forest
beyond the settled parts Of the par
ish, favorable for fishing, hunting,
and bathing. IT requires but little
money to visit them and it health
ii the object, the visitors there will
return from these rude watering
places better restored In health and
with less depleted purses, than those
from the excitement and dissipation
Of the fashionable watering places
at the North.
