On last Wednesday morning at
3 o'clock. a fire was discovered in the
large rice mill OF Bush & Williams
at Lafourche crossing, which COM
pletely destroyed that fine structure.
BY the eXeltions and energy of the
neigllbors and some section hands of
the S. p. Railroad the fire was con-
fined to the one building. Had there
been winds blowing the depots and
very probably the railroad bridge
would have been consumed. There
was an insurance on the building but
not sufficient To cover the loss. Mr.. c.
{. Williams lost all his apparatus for
hauling fiat boats, raising freight etc.
which were stored away in the build
ing. The money and valnables were
recovered withoutdamage. The cause
of the fire is unknown.

The Crops.

The report of the department of
agriculture speaking of the present
crops says:s
While several States increased the
T OF winter wheat last autumn, the
heavy reduction. by blowing and
planting IN other crops to replace the
winter-killed wheat in Illinois. in In
diana, and to a limited extent in other
States, has reduced the acreage in
every, Wlieat-@roWine State Of n
prominence except Kansas and Ore
gan.
The average percentage of crops is
slowly below the average.
The apple crop presents a yer;
poor prospect, not much over 80 per
cent OF an average whilst peaches gen
orally are Il failure.
