The dismal cloudy weather, togethe
with the horrible mud, renders the sea
son anything but agreeable, and if sta
tsticans are not at fault we are havin
in Phoebe now just such Weather as con
tributes to increase the number of sui
cides. Viewing this state of things whol
ly in reference to the present and with
out regard to the future, it would seer
indeed that hope had hidden the worl
farewell for season. But, in the yer
nature Of things, the pelting storm

fruitful harvest in the coming Summe
They assure good crops Of cereals an
fine pasturage for focks and heards; an
encourage the seeker after the precior
metals, affording him the assurance TIL
the staff of life will be in abundance.
REpREHENs1BLE.-I has been pra
tice with many of those occupying sea
outside the bar in the Courthouse,
jump up to leave at most unpropitio'
time. As soon as it agreed to take
recess, and while the Court is admonis
ing the jury; the crowd begins to mo
out, and thereby interrupt the procee
ings at very important juncture. '
are sure that no harm is meant by pr
sons leaving while the Court is chargi
the jury, yet it is wrong, and should
discontinued.
FIRE A1ARM.-About s o'clock yest'
day morning those who keep late hou
