"A correspondent of the the Jasper
Times. writing frsm Bainbndge. Georgia,
under date of April 10th, says: "The
prospect for the farmers is not fattering /;
corn Is scarce and money is not plen-
tiful, the oat crop, which was the main
dependence to make the present crop, Is a
failure, and should our county fail in an
other crop we are ruined beyond redemp-
ton. We had frost on the 10th, 18th,
18th and 18th insts; it did not kill all vege-
tation, though it was all damaged more
or less. The berry crop Is failure, also,
fear we will have no fruit this year. The
hogs are all dying with the cholera, and
our people are much depressed because Of
the gloomy outlook. But little rain has
fallen this spring, and cotton planted now
will not come up until it rains.

watchful care of his wife and friends
and, at last, securing his rife, he started
down to a sink hole near the place. See
ing him go of with his gun, his little boy
followed him to prevent mishief, but was
warned by his father not to come near

for the deed, he pulled off his shoe, and
tied string to the trigger of his rife
but when he had completed his arrange
ments he called his little boys attention
to hole in tree, saying he thought
there were bees in it, when the boy went
TO examine, and he, left alone, fired the
shot intending to blow out his brains
From some cause the ball only crushed
the skull and glanced of, and he returned
TO the house covered with blood. Cob
webs were applied to the wound and the
bleeding stopped, but inflammation set in
and be died in three or four days"
