THE Terreboupe Patriot saws:

The weather this week has not been what
was desired. The universal cry is too much
rain, and the roads utterly impossible on
account of the thickness OF the mud, which
is, on most of the roads, more than knee
we have had for the last two weeks. On
Wednesday last, shower fell ever Houma
accompanied by terrific gale Many of
our citizens state that they have not wit
messed such gale and rain since 1856, at
the time of the Last Island storm.
Notwithstanding these rains the crops are
fine. the sugar cane particularly SO. The
small quantity of cotton grown in this
parish is doing well. The orange crop is
abundant The rains have prevented the
gathering of corn fodder, but this loss will
be more than amply repaid by the gain in
the improvement of the sugar cane.

Strong, by repeated victories at the ballot
box and in the Legislative hall, with plat
form as broad as civil liberty itself, it will be
found a not easy task to permanently divide
the Republican party of Louisiana, and
when to a strong organization, weil-earned
prestige and handsome majority be added
one OF the most sagacious and successful
party leaders in the EwhOle South, Henry
Clay Warmoth. We have no fear for the
future.
bakers dozen of federal officials, scat
tering a few crumbs in the vicinity of the
New Orleans Customhouse. have exerted
every energy to rule-brought into requisi-
ton fraud and force, general abuse and
SANDER. marshals and bayonets, but they
have been promptly and thoroughly repu-
dated.
We publish to-day the proceedings of one
of the most earnest and harmonious of Re-
publican conventions ever held in this State.
Read carefully.
From every part of the North a universal
sympathy is expressed for the success OF
Governor Warm0th and the administration.
With an intelligent presentation of facts to
Republicans of Louisiana, no sign of division
or discord will remain.
Our Democratic friends, who have re-
ioiced at the storm cloud which for mo-
ment threatened US, may look well to then
laurels in 1872.

Local Intelligence.

BURIED ALIVE, ALMosT.-The outline OF
singular circumstance was last evening re-
lated to US as fact. Not many days ago
a child was very sick, and last week ap-
parently expired. certificate was fur
nished by a physician, and the family
friends followed to a cemetery. Just when
the grave was to be closed, the child raised
its voice, crying pitifully. The mourning
mothers sorrow was suddenly changed to
the widest joy. With natural impulse
she grasped her darling, and ran home in
state OF mind bordering on insanity, leaving
the funeral to seek solution for itself Not
less than forty persons witnessed this unu-
sual proceeding, and many of them were
inquisitive as to the doctor who gave the
certificate that death had claimed the child.
We shall cndeavor to learn his name and
standing. Such things may happen ocea-
sinally, but people lose faith in the abilities
of such physician.

The Opelousas journal says of the weath'

The Opelousas Journal says of the weather
and crops:
The crop prospect is about the same as
it was last week. The caterpillars are still
webbed up. Last Saturday and Sunday we
had no rain, and appearances indicated
continuance of fair weather; but we have
had rain here every day since up to Friday
morning, except on Wednesday, and we
understand that rain fell on that day in
other parts of the parish. The weather on
Friday morning, the time we write, is clear
and beautiful, with lively breeze from the
north.
On the same subject the Opelousas
Courier says:
1t is generally believed that we are now
passing through as rainy summer as we
ever had in this parish. 1t has rained al
most daily for the last two or three months,
and if the rain failed to fall in some quarter
one day. the next was almost snre to bring
Oh double dose.
The army worm has not commenced its
destructive work to any serious extent that
soon we may look for the destruction to
commence.
Certain planters, it is hoped, will not
suffer materially, but those who are back
ward will certainly lose considerably. The
cane looks well. The weather is yet favora-
BILE to the crop.
The corn is safe nova middling crop
but the fodder is almost a total loss for the
want of a proper weather to dry that ex-
cellent forage.

Third Husband Murdered for Refusing
to Pay Debts Contracted by One of the
Dear Departed.
[From the Atlanta Sun.


We learn from private letter received
bv gentleman in Griffin, that horrible
murder was committed in Macon county
last Thursday on the person of Mr.. j.
Joiner, in that county, under the following
circumstances:
The widow of a Mr.. Devereux married a
Mr.. Lester, and after his death married a
Mr.. Joiner. By her tlrst husband she had a
son, Devereux, who, during her first and
second widowhood, attended to business for
her After her marriage to Joiner he at
tended to her business. Several notes had
been presented to him signed by Devereux,
which were paid; but on a recent occasion
Mr.. Joiner had declined to pay note of
considerable amount, when his wife told
him he must pay it or leave the plantation
quickly, and threatened to leave herself if
it was not done. Mr.. Joiner replied that he
was in no way responsible for the note, and
would neither pay it nor leave the place,
and intended to gather it.
The next day young DevereuX came, and
on the return of Mr.. Joiner from the field
asked for a private conversation, which was
granted. Mr.. Joiner repeated his deter
mination not to pay the note, when Mr..
Devereux rose up and fired at him. The
shot missed. when Mr. Joiner caught him
and threw him out of the piazza Mr.. Joiner
went to his room to get his pistol from I'M
der the head of his bed, but it had been re-
moved. Young Devereux followed him up
and fired the second shot which struck Mr..
Joiner. and then the third, which killed
him.
Mrs. Joiner then gathered up what money
she had gave it to her son, who fled, and is
still at large. 1t is supposed she will be ar
rested as accessory to the killing.
