L During the severe gale on Sunday q large
locust tree standing In the yard OF Mr.. Rob
FertR. Steele's residence, in Barraud' s court,
was uprooted. Yesterday, while workmen
were engaged in cutting it up for fire-wood,
they found distinctly engraved on piece OF
the heart the letters "R. D." AS every
thing nowadays has political significance,
we think these letters stand for Radical de-
feat; and if they do, that tree was no false
prophet Norfolk landmark, 2lst.o T.

An unusual amount OF sickness has pre-
vailed in the country around Danville since
1.-THE warm weather set In and many have
proved fatal. There are many cases Of ,ty-
phoid, bilious, and intermittent fever in Hal
flax, Pittsylrania, Caswell, &C., and in some
instances many members, Of a family are
Frustrated at one time. Chills have been
prevailing also quite extensively. ,,4.y
We learn on inquiry that very little to-
bacco has been cut in the county. We did
not miss any from the fields between Dam
willie and Chatham. The heavy rains OF last
week will have the effect to postpone the
ripening Of those plants which were nearly
ready for the knife, but there is no fear that
the early tobacco will be caught by the
frost. There was universal complaint Of
the rayages Of the horn worms. ~ anuille
