The trial Of James Mutt for che
killing Of Dukes begen at Pittsburgh
on Monday before Judge Stow. The
defense will set up the plea Of emo
iional insanity, and the general i'm.
preston prevails that this plea, togeth-
er with the eminent counsel employed
in his behalf, and the public feeling
will clear The young man without
much trouble. The jury is said to be
one of unusual intelligence, which the
defense considers a strong point in
favor Of the accused.
Mr.. Johu Muenzeberger, Mer'
camille Appraiser for this county, did
bis work up promptly considering the
awful storm be had to contend With
last week. In some parts of the
county he says the snow is over three
feet deep, and through this he was
obliged to break his way. To judge
from his story he must have more than
earned his mony. The mercantile
list which will he found in to.days is.
sue embraces quite a number of new
names, which is evidence that our
county is becoming daily more i'm
portsnt in a commercial sense.

Of the Weather on
Crops.

The weather cXcrts great influence
upon crops, aud each crop requires
Hore or less II different climatic cundi.
ton for its perfect development. An
excess of water in the soil prevents such
development and causes Il loss of nj
tratcs and other soluble plant foods in
the drainage water. Dccply-rooted
crops, such as wheat, red clover and
manglcs, are best fitted to resist drouth,
while shallow-roolcd crops, as grass and
turnips, are those that suffer most
from it,
In Il damp, cold summer the harvest
is always late, growth having taken
place slowly in the deficiency Of light
and heat; the season is often too short
for maturing The crops.
\ knowledge of tie climate best suit,
ed To each crop is of great service to the
culivator in selecting crops for any
special location. Thus, wheat requires
hot and dry weather for its ripcning pc
Rod, while oats will ripcn in damp at
mosphcrc. Man@cls require heat and
will resist drought, while turnips sue
cced best in cool, moist air.
The character of the winter has more
or less influence on that OF the follow
ing season The soil loses niratcs to u
considerable extent by drainage during
II wet, open winter. Root development
is prevented by excessive moisture.
The wheat crop is usually in II back
ward condition after wet winter.
In adverse seasons II good, rich soil is
the farmers only hope, With plenty of
plant tood to induce great amount of
vitality in the plants, crops will often
succeed in producing advantageous
yields when those on poor soils fail to
mature. Poor soils yield their best re.
suits in seasons Of slow but continuous
growth, when the crop has long time
n which to collect the scanty supply off
God they contain In hot seasons,
With an early harvest, only soils well
uppled with plant food can produce

From the Nashville Banner
The recent convention of the negroes
Of this State, which assembled in the
State Capitol, WAS IN evidence Of their
desire To advance aud elevate them.

no convention can change, no resolution

possession Of the ballot cannot change
the fact.
They make great mistakes when they
undertake. to compel the white people
To accord TO them status To which
they are not entitled, either by their in.
trlllgencc or voting power. In this
state, AT least, the negro is in Il minori.

time. For them, in the face of these
things, to present an issue Of races, is
most absurd. They will, in time, see
