From the Mansfield Fcpore, OF the

Since the recent rain the prospects for a
good crop this year are much more tiatte, =
Ing than they were a short time since. As
general thing the crops have been well
worked, and const uuently were in good
condition, and the ram came exactly in the
right time to be OF the greatest benen: 20
the farmers.

William Allen, who was recently killed II,

mules to negro living on the plantation
of Mr. w. Ii. Barber. One is . bay and
the other is black mare mule and there
is scarcely any doubt bu, tina, they are
stolen property. Amy person having los.
aRY such property would do well 10 exam
Inc INTO this matter.
Since the killing Of the notorious. horse
thief, William Allen. in CaGdo parish, W.

hine parishes and the border coun,ie. in
Texas.
