discovered in flames. A coat had been hang

inference was that the person who put the coat
there had left matches in the pocket which

from a disastrous fire.

GRASS AND HAY.-Daniel bennett.
who has charge of the agricultural
department Of the New Orleans Pic
ayune, says:
A Red River gentleman, editor of a
Red River Journal, informed US a few
days since that the cotton planters in
his section of the State are turning
their attention to grass and hay more
than formerly. One planter abandoned
the culture of cotton some years since,
and has been making hay. Last year
his hay crop sold for $l2 90. Two
tons of good hay will bring in the
market about as much as a bale of
cotton. Two tons of hay can be made
to the acre, that would not make a
bale of cotton. Four tons of hay can
be made and baled for market at II
less price than the cost to the farmer
of bale Of cotton. Why not cut down
the acreage of cotton and make more
hay to, sell, and more for the home
cattlef Why not sell cows aud beef
made on summer and winter pastures
and home made hay3
