CROPs.-Accounts from the country re.
present the late storm as having been very
severe generally throughout the parish
The cotton was in many instances blown
down and materially damaged. So far
as the work of the worm is concerned,
the reports are conflicting. In some Sec
tons they have made a clean sweep while
in Others they have effected but little
damage. The great loss to the crop was
accomplished by shedding, before the
WORMS appeared. To sum up in a few
words, our opinion of three weeks ago,
that not over half crop of cotton would
be realized is fully sustained by, reliable
information that reaches us up to the
moment of going to press.

are about Us feet OH the river front, eX-

only by an outlay of not less than two
thousand dollars or more. The cave was

AN INuUAIAN ACT.-It has come to our

4 Few institutions of learning have
q better record than this in so short a

The reason lies, no doubt, in the

the first to employ only thorough and
experienced teachers.
The College buildings, which have
been arranged with special reference
to the wants of the institution, stand
in the midst of the beautiful campas
of 20 acres. -
An endowment fund Of $4,000 is
already invested. This amount is
being increased from time to time by
the sale of lands still held by the Col

cording to previous arrangement
Rev. Allender was to baptize at the
river near Cliffland. A large gather
ing repaired to the river, more than
sixty loaded carriages and wagons,
and many on horseback and on foot
to witness the sacred rite established
more than 1900 years ago by the Sa.
vior at the Jordan. Twenty were
immersed, one poured, and fifteen
sprinkled. On Sabbath seven more
were sprinkled, and some eighty per-
sons, the result in part of the great
meeting held here last winter by Rev,
Allender, united with the M. f.
Church. The meetings ofthe church
here have been wonderfully blessed,
and the presence of the divine Spirit
ut the river, and on Sabbath at the
uniting with the church was felt by
every one. A powerful Christian in
fuence, such as was never felt here
before, pervades this entire communi-
ty. May this influence become wider
and deeper till every one becomes a
Christian. Next Sunday the Baptist
will baptize near Clifiland.
