The crops throughout the parish promise
fair yield. Our planters are busy gather
ing in their harvest of corn and rice, although
they experience some difficulty in doing so,
owing to the great amount Of water from the
rains, which has nearly inundated greater
part OF the fields. Cane is looking well, and
we predict that larger crop of sugar will

The Empire Parish beo;s,o,. COW, ~

The Empire Parish Register says of the
weather:
During the past week the weather has
Deen seasonable for this time of the wear in
this latitude The sun, while being warm.
has not been excessively so. Showers have
fallen every day in some localities of the
parish, and Pleasant southerly breezes have
prevailed most of the time. At times. how.
ever, the atmosphere has been oppressiyelv
close, producing something of snffocatinS
sensation; but this does not last long The
nights bring with them drenching dews
and when morning comes vegetation gilt,
ters with the cooling night bath which tbe
skies have sprinkled so profnsely on it. The
air then ia fresh and sweet, all growing
things look bright and rejuvenated, the
birds are musical with their prattling songs,
and the sun, coming up through a rich mass
of gold and purple clouds, is simply gorge
Gus. Certainly, with such weather, in the
imperial month of August, and with such
soil as we have here, who can wonder that
the crops of cane, and Iice, and corn, and
oranges are maturing for lavish yields.

lived upon the immense prairies az The

81 terrisory, covered only with fuel 90
feed the insatiate monster, which travels
with the speed Of the wind, devouring
everything In its counse. Any attempt
b describe the grsndear Of such sight
would be worse than useless Starting
AZ first from a small beginning, the
flames gradually spread out gathering
force with every gust Of wind. constantly
widening their course, until with mad,
riotous fury they leap and plunge IN
every direction, licking up everything in
their march, like q very demon OF de
struction, until they remind the awe-in-
spired beholder Of that scene which the
children Of Israel beheld, when they
were led by " pillar Of the cloud by
day." and "a pillar Of FIRE by night "
At such time everything living flies in
terror, for il il Is worse than useless 10
contend with the fiery monster whose
breath "burneth like an oven.
Such a scene the residents of the State
west OF the "Big Woods" along the
ST. Paul and Pacific Road, have wit
messed. From a small beginning some
where near the western boundary Of the
State, the fire spread until IL reached
the BIG Woods" $50 miles from the
point Of starting. In striking the woods
Il was not stayed in its course, but the
flames seizing upon the dry under
brush. and from thence to the tall trees
of the forest, it extended its line for a
distance of fifteen miles in the heavy
timber until il reached Smith Lake.
When once fairly under headway in the
timber. the scene is described rs grand
beyond the power of pen or pencil pic
ture. Roaring, cracking. with a sound
that could be heard for miles, the flames
tore their way, leaving behind a black
ened, smoking, desolate waste 10 mark
their onward march. Everything in
their course was destroyed. The grain
and hay-staeks, the corn-felds, fences,
and, in some instances, we have heard
of the rude homes and scanty house
hold goods OF the settlers, all fell prey
to the insatiate monster. The terror
stricken people fed, leaving all their
worldly possessions behind, thankful to
escape with their lives.
II is impossible to estimate the loss
caused by this widespread eonAagra-
ton. At last accounts the fire was still
raging north of the line of the road,
and where it will be stopped cannot be
told. We very much fear that were the
full particulars of the loss known, it
would show the destruction of an i'm
mense amount of grain, hay, fences, &c.
&c, in the territory over which the de-
stroying element has swept and is still
sweeping Minnesota paper.
