From an DccRhlOn2l Correspondent.
LAMAR COUNTY, TEXAS, April
IS75.-I will give you few lines from
tBis county ia regard to its prospects
Tor a crop. Tie first wheat looks well ;
a fair crop was sowed. Oats also look
well, a good crop Of which was also
sowed. We commenced planting corn
in February, and continued until Fri
dsy, the fifth Of March, and some got
done planting, but on the sixth, before
day. il commenced to TRin and then
sleet, snd by day it commenced to snow.
All during the day perfect snow-storm
prevailed, and continued until after
night. After melting underneath, il
still laid on the ground TO a depth OF
from eight to fifteen inches, and Ia some
places il drifted to a depth of three feet
aud over. It laid on the ground until
Tuesday. Those that had taken any
pains get q good stand, and good part
was planted over. We are about done
planting corn, and cotton planting has
now commenced. We have had so
much rain for the last ten days that but
little work has been done. Last Sun
day morning we had white frost, and
another this morning, but it has done
very little damage. The weather is
now warm and pleasant. E. BRAY.
