Four weeks of drought has enabled our farmers to get their crops clean and saved the wheat from rust; bat it has been very damag ing to Spring oats and garden vegetables The corn crop looks well, and bas not suffer ed seriously, but there is a good deal of com plaint about cotton—the stand generally being very poor. This applies not only to this county, bat to many others around and above here. Pnblic Library Association. Why is it that towns greatly inferior to Athens both in wealth and population, can boast of Library Associations! Is it for lack of enterprise that we have no such institution here t It cannot be because our citizens, es pecially our young men, do not properly esti mate mental culture. The University and its two Literary Societies have quite extensive libraries, bat they are not intended for the puolic. We need a Young Men’s Library Association and Reading Rooms, where the large number of young men of the city n»t connected with the University could profitably spend their leisure hours, instead of misspending their time in hurtful amusements, as we fear some of them do. Why not:ike steps at once to inaugurate uch an institution f Mr. T. J. Lester is erecting a fine brick block on the corner of College Avcnuo and Clayton street. Com modious rooms might be secured in the second lory. Will uot some active young men take this matter in hand and put it through t Its importance to the community can scarcely be overestimated.

Westmoreland & Kenney, of this city. Wo have not learned who does tho painting. The brick-making machinery has arrived, and wo suppose the work will be commenced at once. The Alarm of Fire, Monday forenoon, proceeded from the kiteban of Mr. James Reaves, on Thomas street. We are pleased to learn that very little damage was done. The firemen, as usual, were on the alert; but a gentleman on horseback, seeing the fire was extinguished, galloped to head quarters with tho gratifying information, and saved the gallant boys from a needless run mit der raasheen.” Night-Walking- -Proper Training of Children. A gentleman of culture and sound sense called our attention the othor day' to a com mnnication in the Washington Gazette, (which seems to he a continuation of a former num ber) from whieh we make liberal extracts, commending his views to the attention of our readers generally, particularly those residing in towns. There are twe points to which we would call special attention, and which we have frequent ly pressed upon the consideration of parents. First—see to it that goer boys do not urn about after night. There is scarcely a bad boy or wicked man on top of the earth to day who did not learn all his wicked habits after night. Second—Keep your children employed. If you do not, the devil will. It is an adage as true as true, that “ an idle man's brain is the devil’s workshop.” Otd Isaac Watts was emi nently correct, when he said, in the nnrsery hymn, “ In works of labor or of tkiU I would bo bus/ too, For Satan fiadi lomo mischief (till For idle hands to do." But read what the writer in the Gazette says: Now let us inquire into the causes and cure One of the leading causes of the declension of inauners in this and all other communities is that stated above, v iz ; the habit of allowing young people to walk the streets by night un attended. A change for the worst begins with this and a change for the better begins with its abatement. When from home, of course there is the ab sence of bomb restraints. When away of night, there is an absence of all other restraints. Evil habits grow in the dark unobserved. Mu tua! encouragement to evil is unchecked. The fruits of night-walking soon manifest themselves in the daylight. Shamo has given way for shamelessness, and habit made the uight-walker strong for evil. At first be evad ed restraints, now he defies them. His cheek no longer knows the blush of ingenuous sbame, but be is more pert than older evil doers. Disrespect for age and authority are iucuicat- ed by his companions of tbe night, andap plauded when practiced. Neglected by his fatbor, Satan pays full attention to him with ail opportunities favor ing bis attention i. Satan’s troops are all on duty at night. Uis traps are set and bis bats and owls on the watch. While the father and tbe borne cast him out, the emissaries of dark ness take the father's place, and bar-rooms, saloons and dens of darkness usurp tbe place of home. The lessons of the street are learn ed, and tbe lad grows apace in tbe knowledge of vileness. In this malarious atmosphere, nothing good will keep--but a moral pesti lence always pervades it. THE ARABS. We read of the children of the street in large cities—the wandering “ Arabs"—as they are styled. These are street walkers—night walk- a. Have we nono in f Hogarth painted the progress of crime. Whither does street walking at night lead T To just such endings. The vilest subservien cy to the bad soon becomes confounded with the name of Indepe*>le*ce. Independence with tbe street walker means consistency with vile antecedents—listening to tbe counsels of tbe bad alone. Garden Vegetables Are pretty well done for by the drought. Day by day they languish and dry up, and if we are not soon favored with rain, they will make an entire failure this season. Peas, potatoes, cab bages and string beans are tbe principal suf ferers.

Dearing, Cashier of the Bank of the University, had an Irish potato of the Ear ly Rose variety, which he bad last year ex hibited to friends oh account of its extra size. It was suffered to •• lie around loose” until a few days ago, when Dr. Harris cat it open, and to the amazement of every body, fonnd it full of well developed young ones—we did not count them, bat there is quite a number of them ! This Is no fancy sketch, bat strictly true.

Sad Occurrence. On Tuesday last, while engaged in playing marbles in Farmington, Luther Thrasher and Andrew Price, about 17 or 18 years old, had a falling out,-whereupon the latter struck tbe former over the head with a base-ball bat, which resulted in the death of Thrasher a few hours afterwards. Col. Wilkerson, tbe Coroner, held au inquest on Thursday, and we learn from him that the verdict of the jury was, in substance, that tbe deceased came to hie death from a blow strack iu the beat of passion by Andrew Price. Col. W. says so well satisfied are all parties that the killing was not inten tional—the youths and the families to which they belonged having always been on the most friendly terms—that tbe sympathies of the en tire community are aroused in behalf of both tbe unfortunate youths, and both families are still quite friendly. Young Thrasher, we understand, was the son of tbe late Rev. John F. Thrasher, a most estimable citizen, and Andrew Price is the son of oar highly esteemed fellow-citizen, Dr. Price, of Farmington. estimable lady all-the happiness and joy that the "little god of Love” can bestow upon a faithful busbaud and a devoted wife.

HTJOSTTER Another Sad Occurrence. Oar community was shocked oa Saturday afternoon by tbe report that Marion Oates, a student in the University, had just been ac cidentally shot through the stomach, by Miss Talmadge, a very amiable young lady, in tho family of Dr. Pendleton, with whom young Oates boarded, but not his grand-daughter, as reported in the Chronicle & Sentinel. It seems that the young people bad been playing with a pistol, not dreaming that it was loaded, and after having been snapped at oth ers, yoang Oates playfully dared Miss Tal madge to shoot him—stepping before her at . , . . the moment.

One boy missed only four words, the next five, tbe next six, &c. Mr. Lyle insists that this was extra good •pelting—as tbe words were selected promts- cuouMy and on account of being difficult to spell.

A WORD TO PARENTS. In sorrow, not manger, I have been endeav oring to prove the deeper seated evils which underlie the ill manners of the times. Whose children are these “ Arabs f" The children of the debased and vile f The chil dren of those so overwhelmed by poverty as to have small chance to care for their little ones t Not at all. Their parents are often indeod, generally respectable and worthy people, yet, with this huge flaw in their conduct towards their families. Many of them have not even a suspicion that they are involved in the matter all. It applies to others. Be not fast in this conclusion. It is part of yoar business to look alter this—it is not meddling in things which do Dot concern you, to make inquiry in to it. Do you know, of your own knowledge, the habits of your young people f Are you sure they are out of these formidable dan gers f You have beard others pity tbe blind ness of others. Perhaps even so some are pitying our blindness. Look and inquire. Ask others, and do not wait for them to come to you. Say, what of my boys and girls f How do they behave, and what company do they keep, and wbat is there about their ways which I ought to know t Good manners, good morals, good habits: these things come not of themselves, but are tbe fruits of calture. Your father’s garden bore vegetables and fruits in abundance only because it was carefully tilled and cared for. You expect yours to thrive on neglect t You will find on tbe contrary weeds and thorns instead of fruits, to come of this to poison your happiness and pierce your bosom, instead of supporting and comforting yoqr age, Weeds grow of themselves, take sufficient care of themselves and finally run away with ail hopes of a crop, while frait requires cul ture, bat it repays it. If you sow tbe wind you will reap the whirl wind. To nsgleot in this ease is to sow the wind. OF PLUCK. You must have pluck enough to deal with this matter.

There is, however, lees of permanent virtue in this than in something else. I would recommend a “ more excellent way”—influence and mu tual confidence.

He was born in North Carolina, bnt for more than 80 ysare had been a resident of Ma lison county. In the war of 1812, he was a Lieutenant in the Company of Cnpt. James Ware, from Madison county, and was, perhaps, the last snnriror of his Company. They saw hard service against the Creeks in Alabama. Capt. WiixiroaD hsd an almost miracu lous escape in one of the battles, being (track in the neck by a ballet. At different times, for many years, he occupied the posts of Clerk of the Inferior Court, Cletk of the Su perior Court, and Connty Surveyor in Madison connty. He also devoted many years to the useful employment of teaching. His was one of the exceedingly rare ex amples of conversion in old age. Tho overwhelming majority of those who do not find the Saviour in early or middle life, never find him at ail. Some 10 or 12 years since, Capt WiLuroun, after a long period of diligent and constant study of the Scriptures, made a public profession ot religion by uniting with the Pres byterian church at Danielsville, and his life thence forward was marked by Christian eonsisteney. Dar ing his last illness, whieh was but of a few days dnra tion, his faith shone ont very impressively. He had no fear of death. With his mental faculties remark ably clear ta the end, be said to a friend, “ I would not give my hope in Jesns for many sneh worlds as this.” And thns the aged pilgrim peacefully fell Which have been Bought Since the Beeline in New York.

Several members of the family, ac companied by Dr. Ford, the family physician, arrived ou the 4 o'clock train Sunday moraing; and at the time we write, (Monday forenoon) although tbe case is considered quite critical, we are pleased to learn that hopes are enter tained of the young man’s reoovery. The World Moves! As an evidence of this, may be mentioned the introduction of new, and sometimes the re vival of old fashions, in dress, architecture, equipage, See. A step backwards Is some times a step in the right direction. This, we think, is eminently true of a society formed by certain young men of our place, who have pledged themselves to discard the use of knives, pistols, stones, clube, brickbats and bludgeons, in the settlement of personal dif ficulties, and have fallen back upon the old- time plan of going beyond tbe corporate limits and submitting to the arbitrament of “ fist and skull.” Of course, there is no sense in fighting at all, nor is there in getting drank; bat we have the authority of Lord Byron for saying that, “ Man being reasonable, gets drunk,” and all history shows that, whether reasonable or not, men kM fight. They have clang to the habit from the days of Cain and Abel down to the present time, and we entertain no reasonable hope of seeing them abandon it within oar day.— Hence, it affords us pleasure to announce that, being reasonable, they have determined to fight in a reasonable way, and thas avoid ar raignment before their honors, Mayor King and Judge Rice, besides the numerous other unpleasantnesses attending tbe use of deadly weapons.
