these unfortunate victims for humanity chosen from
among the smaller animals the most varied diseases
Of the eye were produced IN an artificial way; and
this with the greatest attention, scrGpulousness,
and perseverance observed from beginning to end.
This will be seen to have no small labor, when We
arc told that this strange clinic often comprised
hundred such patients. To distinguish the rabbits
from each other thin metallic tablets with numbers
on them were fastened or their ears, and an exact
statement Of the phenomena connected with each
number was entered in q book. Many Of these pa
ients were not permitted to survive TO the end Of
their disease They were killed, and the diseased
organ in the different stages OF disorder was disseci
ed and examined. Poor rabbits They suffered
much and merely went down to death, but they sa-

GETTING IN THE CROPS.
Georgetown.

Georgetown.
The Times of the 9th says: "The weather
for the last week has been cool aud bracing,
and the rice harvest has proceeded very satls-
factorily."
The Herald of The 7th says: "The attend
auce on sales-day was large, and the crop re-
port was not such as we wished to hear. The
corn crop Ia short, but rather better than was
expected some two months ago. The impress
sion prevails that the cotton crop cannot reach
more than half Of an average yield"
Marlboro.
The Times OF the 7th says: "Cotton picking,
ever since the season opened, has been carried
on vigorously. Some of our farmers have
nearly their entire crop picked out. Very lit
tie remains to open. It is something unusual
for the great bulk of the cotton crop In this
section TO be gathered by the last OF Septem-
Der. Yet such has been the case this year."
BarnweIl.
The Journal of Saturday, 7th, says: "The
farmers from all portions Of the county are de-
lighted at the continued good weather. for the
cotton crop Is short anyway, and 1t ralned so
much few weeks ago that it was feared peo.
pie could not gather what they had made. We
hear numbers expressing surprise that cotton
should still keep low. The speculators are try
ing their best 10 get hold of 1t, but we see ne
reason why the price OF the staple should not
advance soon. We hear OF but few farmers
who have not made corn enough"

The South was visited during the week by
severe storms, which passed up the Atlantic
coast, and extended, although with less sever
ity, into portions of the Interior. This has
interfered, to some extent, with the picking,
and has also checked the movement of cotton
from the plantations to the Southern seaports.
This storm has probably done considerable
damage, although nothing definite yet is
