The weather we have had for several days
past has been just what our sugar and cotton
planters desire. On Monday morning there
was good white frost, which conducsd greatly
to the ripening Of the cane. The reports we re-
ceive from the country are encouraging. and
planters represent their canes as yielding
much better than they did week or
Stwo ago. Especially is this the case on
the Teehe, as we learn from a friend who
has just returned from that section of
country. As an instance. Mr.. Charles Walker
who lives thirty miles above Morgan City. rolled
100 aeres,and made therefrom 300 hhds of sugar.
Notwithstanding the favorable signs Of i'm
provement. our sugar planters cannot refrain
from uttering growls of discomfort. often ac-
companied by emphatic explosives. at the low
prices their sugars are bringing in the market.
We advise them to keep q stiff upper lip" and
hope for better prices in the near future.

the Doctor will meet with an affable

willing to give all the information on
thesubiect of lighting rods in his power,
whether he sells you any or not. Dr..
Gilbert has made host Of friends in our
midst, during his short ojourn among
Gus, and the number is rap dly increasing.
He is modest, quiet and unassuming
gentleman, acho talks but little, but few
as his words are, they were sufficient
to convince us that without lighting
rod on our sanctum, we stood in hourly
danger o being melted up by streak
of lighting. His terms are moderate.
