Weather—Health—Crops.
During the past week we have enjoyed pleasant
weather, with occasional showers ard a constant
breeze. Thermometer ranging from $0 to 86 de
grees, extremes. The corn, cain, and potatoe crops
were nevermore abundant. The cotton crop will
fall short abuut one third of former anticipations.
The health of this country continues good, and
from enquiries made, we can hear of no sickness,
allhough there may be some slight cases not worth

“Fraid.”
An old sea-captain, who had retired from ser
vice aod was living on a farm, had a harumscarum
nephew with him. He could neither frighten nor
drive the said nephew to do anything in its proper
time. Among the rest he never could get him to
drive up the cows to milk till after dark—he had
to drive them from a back pasture, undergrown
with sugar brush. Finally the captain asked the
lad if he was not afraid to go through the woods io ;
the dark.
“Fraid!—whai is that ? I never seen a fraid,”
replied the boy.
“Well, nevermind; you will see one some of
these nights if you do not get the cows up before
dark,” said the captain, meaningly.

Political excitement should have no connection

An Editor Tight.—We believe it is rare
that editors indulge in a drop, but when they
do. their readers are sure to find them out. A

cord a “melancholy event” at a time when his
