The Cotton Worm.

Cotton buyers, brokers and factors
had, yesterday, an ocular demonstra.
ton of the existence of the army worm.
The clerk of the steamer Frank Par
goud took the pains to bring down a
few dozen Of them, collected from the
Hermitage, Pointe Coupee. They
were exhibited ut the Cotton Exchange
in glass jar, together with serveraI
stalks of cotton that had been COM
pletely stripped of leaves.
1t is now beyond doubt that the cot
ton planters over large portion of
the Mississippi Valley will lose about
one-half their crops from the devasta
tions of the caterpillar, and many will
scarce be able to save a bale to ten
acres under culture.-Picay,t,ae 22d.
AS we feared, the cotton worm has
on quite number of planta-
lions in this parish, though they have
not done any serious damage so far.
The reports are that thay have gone
into the chrysalis state.-Ze71sas Jo1t''-

Jewish Synagogue.

Some two years ago the Jews of Mon
roe purchased and paid for lot on
jackson street, between the residences
of Mr.. II. Filhiol and Col. Garrett, with
the view of erecting synagogue there
on. We have seen the plans of the
building, in possession of Mr.. j. Hoff-
man, and believe that the edifice will
be a very attractive addition to our
city. The dimensions are: length, not
Including porch in front and sanctuary
in rear, 60 feet; width 35 feet; height
~ feet, including tower. Seats for $50
persons will be provided on the floor,
and a number more placed in the gal
lery. The walls will be of brick, with
{. base of six bricks in length. Some Of
the material is already on the ground.
We have not heard when work ON the
building will be commenced.

Cotton.

Conflicting opinions prevail in ref
erence to the probable result OF the
presence of the cotton worm; but the
"heft'' of the evidence appears pretty
clearly to favor the destruction of the
unmatured crop about the 10th or 18th
proximo. Reports now agree that the
worm is all through this section.
Picking begins rather late, owing to
the backwardness Of the crop. Last
year, this date, planters were generally
averaging 100 pounds to the hand.
Whole fields may be picked now and
not so much gathered.
The boil worm has been unusually
destructive this year. Some planters
say they have been injured by this
worm from one-third to one-half a
crop.
Now is the time for economy-and
TO swear to plant no cotton next year.
Curse cotton, plant cotton, buy corn,
and run in debt-and then swear you
never saw such a country to live in!
