The Crops i'm St. Landry.

The farmers Of this parish are of one
opinion on the subject of the season
Never was spring more favorable fo
the breaking up of the land, the sowing
of seed and the cultivation of the youDs
plant. Corn could have been soWr
with success in January and by thii
time would be making ears. AS it il
we have none so far advanced, that We
know of except in small patches planted
for roasting ears. While the warm
weather set in early, the dry season
with few good showers has enabled the
planters to cultivate their crop with
great advantage, to destroy the grass
as fast as it made it's appearance and tc
keep the soil mellow and in tip-tor
condition.
The corn crop (and by the by we fee
a particular interest in this crop) never
looked richer and more promising.
While we are not furnished with
statistics on which to base a correct
opinion, If we are to judge Of the whole
parish by what we have seen in those
parts we have visited, the acreage in
corn this year is larger than we even
have known it. Our people have their
eyes open and have found out it wont
pay to raise cotton and buy meat and
bread from the West. This is just as it
should be, and we hope the conviction
will grow stronger day by day, until
ST. Landry instead of importing thou
sands and thousands of pounds of pork
and cargoes OF corn, will not only sup
ply the home consumption but raise
enough to export to other less favored
States.
Our cane crop is also very good. The
cotton we have seen, while it shows q
good stand looks somewhat backward.
We regret to state that since our last
Issue we have experienced storm of
considerable severity. Some rain fell
on Saturday. On Sunday night it came
down In torrents, accompanied by a
terrible wind and amounting in portions
of the parish to tornado. We learn
that south and north of this point houses
were torn down, trees uprooted and
fences prostrated. The corn was bent
down good deal. It is too young
however to have been much injured.
It rained again on Monday and the
weather ever since has been on the
showery order. As the old darky said

the jurors were absent. After waiting
until II o'clock, the absent jurors not
having arrived, Court adjourned until
the next day at o'clock.
On Tuesday during the morning hour
an answer was filed in 1864, default
confirmed in 1854.
The case Of Sage VS.. Evins was then
called and the jury being all present
the trial proceeded with and continued
during the entire day. This case will
probably occupy the Court the balance
of the week. Court will adjourn for
the term soon after this celebrated case
is finished.

HAMPTON TO BE RE-ELEcTED.-What
little opposition there was to the re-
nomination of Governor Hampton has
died out and his reelection is as certain
as his denomination. The hgpoeritieal
politicians who considered him too lib
eral and generous have been silenced by
the voice of the people. Tart words
and rude jeers had an effect diametri-
cally different from that which was ex-
pected. The heart of the people is true,

A very simply method of postal de-
livery is. said to prevail in a Spanish
provincial town. Those who expect
letters come to the post-office and form
a queue. The postmaster then hands
all the letters he has received, in q
basket, TO the first conner, who looks
through them liesurely, takes his own,
if any, and passes the basket to the
person Immediately behind him, and
this goes on till the basket is emptied or
the Queue exhausted.
