PERIQ UE TOBACCO.

Tie Saint James (La.) Courier, Of
July 4th, says:
We are informed that the perioue
tobacco crop of this year will prove to
be very small. The acreage planted
was about one third less than that of
previous years, and the long drought
of May willcause difference in the
yield of nearly 30 per cent. At this
moment fine weather is desired, as the
tobacco is hung up to dry, and the
heavy rains that We are having will
cause great loss, besides making a
great difference in the quality of the
tobacco.

MORE TRUTH THAN Law.

A newly elected justice Of the peace,
not thousand miles from Milford,
delivered the following charge TO the
jury the other day:
Gentlemen of the Jury: Charging
a jury is new business to me, as this
rs my first case. You have heard all
the evidence in the case as we'll as
myself; you have also hesrd what the
learned counsel have said. If you
believe what the learned counsel for
the plaintiff has told you, your ver-
dict will be for the plaintiff; but if,
on the other hand, you believe what
the defendants counsel has told you,
then you viii give a verdict for the
defendant. But, if yoN are like me,
and don't believe what either of them
say, then I'll be - if / know what
you will do. Constable, take charge
