EGYPT, Miss, July 30.-Last night q
car was broken open while on the side
/ track. having nine bales of cGttOn in il,
of which two were stolen and carried off,
| We have no information as to who did
it. The car had been locked and sealed,
but the seal was broken aud the car un-
locked (the parSes having a railroad
key, the cotton removed, aud the car
locked again. The theft was not dis
covered until the following evening.
This evening, during a rain with some
heavy Claps of thunder, two negroes
were struck by lightning and killed two
miles west of here, on the HanstOn farm
a woman, and "a boy eighteen years
old, who had just come home from work
in the field, and were standing in their
front yard. The woman, Carolina Blair,
was standing near small tree that was
struck at the time, killing her instantly;
also her sou, Jack Blair, who was some
twenty feet from her. They showed no
bruises except a small burn on the breast
of each one.
The crops are looking very we'll Cot
ton is small, though well formed, and
about two weeks late. Corn suffered
from being too dry in the first of the
summer, but the late rains have brought
it out some.
The explanation at Berlin of the story
recently started by Vienna paper that
a treaty between Russia and Prussia, for
a new partition OF Poland, was signed
in 1853, is to this effect: After the Polish
rebellion of 1868 had been suppressed,
the Russian government offered to cede
to Prussia part of that troublesome and
ungOvernable country, but that Bis
marck declined the acquisition because |
he was of opinion that, with a still |
greater number of projects belonging to |
the nationality inimical to the Prussian |
on principle, a constitu-
tional government would become an
impossibility in Prussia.

TIPTON COUNTY. .
The CrOps-Yalue of the Paducah Rail-
rOad-DeYelOpment Of Town
and Country.

From an Occasional Correspondent
COvINGTON, Tenn, July 31.-Not-
withstanding the complaints of many
Of our farmers that their crops were
ruined by the dry weather Upton will
probably make a sufficiency of corn for
her own consumption. The rain that
fell in great abundance on the TWENTY
seventh instant, although the first for
four weeks, will greatly improve even
early corn, and if the weather should
continue seasonable a short time late
corn, where well cultivated, will prob
ably make almost an average crop. As
TO cotton, the results, to very great ex-
tent, are, of course, in the future. If
the remainder Of the season is favorable.
and we have a late autumn, Tipton
may make almost an average Of cotton.
The Paducah and Memphis railroad.
through our county as far as the county
seat, Is 10 longer among the things
looked for in the future, but a eonsum-
mated fact. The road did well in secur-
ing the services Of the efficient, courte-
Gus, popular depot agent they have at
COvingtOn, Mr.. J. n. White, formerly
agent at MasOn's. The Paducah and
Memphis road, We are informed, has
carried more cotton into your city in the
last two weeks than any other road.
The prospects of the road, when com.
pleted, to become enc among the best in
the south are certainly very good, run
ming, as it does, through the river belt
OF counties, and making important de-
sirable connections with other roads at
Paducah, Kentucky.
Upton county has long needed such
road to give her citizens cheap and
quick transit with the outside world
and to develop her fertile, we'll watered
lands by the attraction of Immigrants In
her territory. She now offers many
peculiar advantages to those seekiny
homes. Society is good and lands are
comparatively cheap, though increasino,
in value. Covington is improving ram
idly, despite the croakings of the fogies
that the railroad will kill the place
