tNatehez Democrat, April 1871
The rain Of the past fey days was an
other backset to the farming interests
OF the country. There has been far less
plowing done this season than usual
and even planting has never been more
backward. IT the planters have much
more OF the weather which has prevail
ed during 50 much OF the spring to en-
counter, the prospect for full crop Is O
gloomy one indeed.

Col. Edward F. Jones, formerly oI
Madison county. Miss, committed sui
eide few days ago in Jeffersonville
Indiana. He was q colonel in the Con,
federate army. u man OF largo wealth
and perhaps one of the most elegant

pride. Loss OF property, no doubt, su-
perinduced bad habits, aud q morbid
fear Of insanity. as he says In u note

fearful deed

We understand that the Irish potato
crops Of our farmers promise to be ex-
ceedingly good this year. The cold
snap did not injure them, and there is
j heavy yield expected.
Mobile Register, April Isl
Ticc, the weather prophet, predicts a
killing frost in this locality between the
9th and 10Th of this month, and from the
sudden change of yesterday, there is a
strong probability Of his prediction be
ing realized. Our people need not CON
gratulate themselves on the departure
Of cold weather.

From the looks OF Things our valley
people are about to have another tidal
wave Of most unpleasant magnitude.
The rivers. already full to overlooking
almost their entire lengths, yesterday
showed that the effects Of the late
heavy rains through the North and
West have had marked and most IN
welcome effect. Al the streams above
Pittsbulg are pouring out N perfect
deluge. At Oil City the swell yester-
day was 1Oh feet; Mt Freeport the
Monongahela rose feet, less inch Mt
Pittsburg the swell was feet 3 inches
in one day Mt Nashville the Cumber-
land rose ; feet inches yesterday; the
Missouri rose over two feet at Lexing-
ton, st. Joseph and several other places,
while the upper Mississippi and Illinois
are also affected with too much water
At st. Louis the river rose % foot yester-
day All this presages evil to the people
OF our Southern valley lands, many Ol
whom are already inundated and begin
ming to suffer from the effects Of the
flood now upon them.
The Arkansas valley is all right above
South Bend sixty miles up. From there
down the plantations are under. White
river is falling some, but the last ruins
may change it again. But little com fort
can be derived from the present outlook
even though the total decline at Cairo
during the past eight days has been
nearly eight feet.
The prospects are that river business
will be almost if not quite suspended
and that several OF our local packets
will lay up.
