THE WEATHER.
The last two weeks of July will long be re-
membcred as the hottest term known in this
section for several years. Although around
Yorkvile an abundance Of rain has fallen
during the season, yet some portions OF the
county have suffered from drought, and we
learn that in the vicinity of Riddles Mill
the cotton plants have been badly scorched.
Rains have fallen there, however, within the
past week. The "Indan Land" section of the
county has also suffered seriously from the
effects of dry weather and the unprecedented
heat. Since Sunday we have had cloudy
weather, with one or two genial showers, and
the temperature has moderated considerably.

CAPTURE OF HORsE-THIEvES.
On Wednesday last, a negro rode into town
on a valuable horse, which he offered to sell
for S125. No one seemed desirous of pur-
chasing, when the negro reduced his price
to slOO, and finally fell to S75. The suspi-
cions of Sheriff Glenn, which were aroused at
the moment the horse was offered for sale,
were now fully confirmed, and when the negro
was about pursuing his journey, that officer
detained him, preferring not to let him pro-
ceed until he should give a satisfactory &C.
count of himself and the horse in his posses
sion. After remaining under detention a
short while, the negro, who gave his name as
Charles Moore, and claimed to be from North
Carolina, confessed that he had stolen the
horse on that morning from Dempsey Blake,
who lives near Smiths Turnout in this coun-
ty. This information having been obtained, a
warrant was procured for the arrest of Moore,
