portion of it, which threw him
among the wheels, where he was
instantly crushed to death. No

but by some means q band slipped
off, stopping the wheels, which
caused the employees to repair to

his head badly smashed. Mr.. Oils
was we'll known in the city, having
done business here as a foundry

The Weather and the Crops.

There has been some misplace
ment Of the isothemial lines, if VIC
may credit our cotemporaries, in
the Southern portion Of the State.
They report a killing frost, fruit
and cotton being extensively dam
aged, if not cut off. In N. Missis-
sippi, though We had quite cool
weather during most of the month
Of April, there is no complaint OF
injury from frost, though a general
backwardness is observable every
where in the growth of corn and
cotton. The GOODNESS and dryness
of the month was unfavorablc. The
late warm rains, however, will en-
able corn and cotton TO recover
from the effects of the former con.
ditions.

My way is to have the rows three feet
