AN attempt was made last Sun
day night.to break into the Saloon
of Mr.. John O. BIackwood. Mr..
viii. Cooke, who gently slumbers
o night in that quiet retreat woke
up lust as the intruder was lifting
the sash. lie seized gun, which
was near at hand, and cooking it,,
awaited his entrance. While thus
waiting IN the dark, with the rob
Der in view at the window, he be-
came somewhat excited, in fact, We
suppose he had regular buck ague,
for he discharged his gun before he
had gotten q bead on hIm the re-
suit of which was a proken pane OF
glass, and the hasty retreat OF the
mid night interviewer. We would
advise friend Cooke to keep a blum
derbus, one that splatters well, or
ta-ta take sun'thin' to steady his
aerves next time.

The late heavy, and almost in'
cessant rains, during the past month
have greatly damaged the cotton
crop, beating it on the ground and
causing 1t to waste, rs IT was tn
possible to gather it. With the
present low prices OF the staple, the
prospects OF the planters for an
even and square start with the
world and the balance of mankind
on the next crop, is anything but
hattcring. Supply bills are yet un-
paid, and likely to remain unpaid
for another twelve months, unless
the present month should prove
more favorable than the past for
operations on the farm. The cot
ton plckers, as usual, got away with
the largest share of the profits.
