ported, the lifeboat belonging to Fort
Niagara. New York, got adrift overheard.
the boat Immediately fell into the trough of
the sea and was capsized. Five men sue
oeeded in getting on the bottom of the boat

accident was witnessed by many people, but
the sea was running so high it was impossi-
bile to launch boat and give assistance.
About two hours afterward Lieutenant
Asbury. Sergeant and Lieutenant Morrison,

six men, started after it; finding the sea
running too high to save it, they attempted
to make landing ON the Canada shore;

was struck by the sea, and Lieutenant Nor
rison. who was steering, was washed over
board. The bodies of five men were picked
up during the evening. The body of Lieut.
enant Morrison was not found till this

The Weather and Crops.

There has been great deal of rain the
past week-so much SO that we fear agricul-
tural operations, that are already very
backward, have received serious check.
Last Saturday morning there was light
frost, but not enough to injure vegetation.
Notwithstanding the frost has not injured
the fruit, it is all defective from being
bruised by the hail, and great deal has
been knocked off the trees.
The most forward crop of corn that we
have seen is that of the Landers boys and
John Lockwoods, though we have seen
but little. Their corn is nearly knee high.
Their cotton is doing finely. Others around
Rayville have their land in pretty good con-
dition and very good crops on them. Farm
ers are generally very backward, from vari-

The REPUBLICAN acknowledges, with
thanks, the gift Of cake, which can hardly
be described with justice by such words as
magnificent or splendid. 1t was unique in
its beauty, and entirely in keeping with the
superb decorations at the fair for the benefit
of the Felicity street Methodist Episcopal
church, which closed at Odd Fellows Hall
last night. The beautiful cake came from
Magnolia table, presided over by Mrs.
Judge Merrick and Mrs. William S. Mount.

this subject. He pointed out one of the ex-

the sending off of thirteen immense mail
bags of matter to ex-senator Green free OF

that a large part of this free mail matter
sent through the mails goes on account of

AN INSANE MURDERER.
His Sentence Mitigated.

DR.. j. B. Cooper, City Ph, ,&ician, has sent
the following letter to the Governor, having
been instructed to make an examination of
Worm, the murderer of Fisher, sentenced
to be hung on the thirteenth instant:
New ORLEANS, May 4, 1871.
To His E1cellency Governor H. c. warmoth:
SIR have the honor to inform you that
upon careful examination, / find that Mar
tin Worm, now under sentence to be hung,
is insane.
Your obedient servant,
j. b. COOPER, M. D.,
City Physician.
Governor Warmoth yesterday commuted
the sentence of Worm to imprisonment in
the State Penitentiary for life, partly be-
cause of his insanity, and partly because
the homicide was committed in the heat of
passion. 1t is probable that Worm may be
transferred to the Insane Asylum.

sustained through difficulties before which it
would seem that her weak physical energies
must have failed, by the strength Of faith and
the power Of prayer. The community responded
promptly sad generously TO her sppeal. The
Institution wss established, its charter obtained
