Cotton is not affected as ye tby the

Jasper County. —The farmers are
suffering terribly for the want of rain,
with a prospect of a total failure of
crops. Ia other sections they have
lmd bountiful so isona and crop pros

Poraski County.—The crops general
ly are good, healthy and strong. In
Koine places the farmers complain of
want of rain, but throughout the
county they have had line seasons.
Warren County. We learn tliat
the crops are suffering greatly for the
want of rain. Some sectio is have not
had a season in twenty days, conse
quently much solicllu’e is felt for the
farming interests in those sections.
Decatur County.— The Baiubridge
Sun has the following- ‘‘Crops in this 1
section Were never better. We have
had plenty of rain; cotton is growing
finely; no complaint of boll worm or
caterpillar; farmers are in good spirits,
and hopeful of an abundant yield.”
Morgan County. —The drought in
portions of this county is damaging
the crops excessively. Corn especial
ly is damaging badly. And if rain
does not. come very soon in copious
showers this important crop will be
cut very short in sections where the
diought has prevailed.— Madison Farm
Journal.
Terrell County. The Dawson
Journal says: “We cannot give so fa
vorable a report on the weather and
state of the crops as we have been do
ing, the extreme heat and want of rain,
has caused the corn to wilt, and the
consequence will be a failure to fill well,
and the cotton is tireing and throwing
off the fruit to such a" extent, as will
force us to take back all we Lave said
about the prospect for a good crop,
unless we have propituous showers,
and that in a short time.”
Claret: County. —The Athens Watch
man reports: “We are still without
rain here, and the weather continues
intensely hot. It is true, there have
been rains within eight,or ten miles of
town, and one or two slight “sprinkles”
iu town, but so slight as to have done
no good. At the time we write (Mon
day forenoon) there is some prospect
of rain. We may safely calculate, ac
corliog to the idea of our friend, Mr.
G. W. Barber, tliat “there will be rain
about the breaking up of tho dry
spell!”
Washington County.— Partial show
ers reported in various parts of the
county; but the exceeding hot weath
er and parched condition of the earth,
drys them up in a short time. There
being a good corn crop planted in the
county, well manured and tillage unu
sually good, we have hope of a supply of
bread, provided we are blessed with
rain in a few days.
Just before going to press—No rain
of consequence in this immediate vi

drought better, but not growing.—
Some other parts of the county are suf

The ergot of rye is a grain which by
the presence of a small fungus, be

medicinal and poisonous properties
which are among the most remarkable

strange to find that Indian corn, when
it is attacked by a fungus growth, is
deleterious in a nnu kid degree.
The superiority of factory cheese

We do not remember to have read a
poem more touchingly true than the
following. It is brief, but its brevity
detracts nothing from its beauty.—
Let every man who has a heart in his

have a peaceful home, and every sin
gle man who would go and do likewise,
see what it is
OWED TO PRINTERS.
When luckless printers stop to credit.
And find too late that men won’t
pay.
What charms can soothe the scribes
who edit ?
What art can wash the debt away ?
The only art their case can better,
To wring the money when ’tis due,
To give repentance to the debtor
And wring his pocket—is to sue.
We trust our many delinquent pa

ately produce their pocket books.
£gr" A negro was hung in South
Carolina a few days ago, and while up
on the scaffold said he did not expect
to be hung, because, he said he expect
ed to be arrested by an organization
of negroes to which he belonged, and
which was pledged to rescue any of
their number from perils as he was in.
But for sonic reason the mob failed
upon this occasion to its duty. It is
said that this organization is universal
ly through the South, and that it is
that which is giving so much trouble
to peaceable and orderly citizens.
The Direct Land Tax at the South.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald says there is some
talk of enforcing the collection of the
direct land tax in the South. The
Southern States share of his tax—
which amounted to twenty millions
among all the States —was six millions;
of this sum only about three millions
has been paid into the Treasury from
the Southern States. It will be re
membered that when this amount had
been collected, President Johnson sent
a message to Congress setting forth
that, in view of the poverty produced
in the South by the war, it would, in
many instances, be ruinous to that sec
tion to enforce the collection of the tax
at that time, and recommending that
it be suspended for some time, so as to
allow the industrial interests of the
South to recuperate. It is stated that
the limit of the suspension fixed by
Congress has now passed, and the law
proriding for the levying and collection
of the tax comes into full force again.
It is argued by those who urge this
proceeding that the industrious of the
South have greatly improved iu the
interim, that the crops are abundant,
and that there is no longer any excuse
for delay on the score of poverty.—
Whether the Secretary of the Treasury
will act upon the advice tendered him
in this mattes remains to be seen.
Look Out for Youk Wild Lands.—
The Columbus Sun says that parties
owning wild lands in any portion of
the State had best be looking to the
taxes and titles of the same. It is re
liably informed that a company has
been formed to steal all the lands of
this character that may be reached,
and that the projectors of the scheme
have been busy, in Atlanta, for weeks
forming and maturing their plans of
operations

In tho town of Raymond, on the ex
treme west of this county, the stonn ;
was more furious than here. It;
came from a southwesterly direction, j
and was accornpanie i with thunder, i
lightning and rain. It commenced j
about 1 o’clock A. M., and was at its I
extremest fury about 2, during which
the lightning was nearly incessant.— ,
A house in Raymond, owned and occu- >
jhed by n Mr Richard Richardson (a |
well to do fanner, formerly of Rice
county,) was completely destroyed.—
This house was what is called a brick- ‘
house, 10 by *24, with the cornices!
dove-tailed together, and pinned at
the corners and in the centre with oak j
pins, two inches in diameter. There
were ten parsons in the house at the
time, and ail were more or less injured.
The details, so far as I have been able
to learn them, are as follows: Mr. and
Mrs. Richardson, with one child of 18 !
months, were sleeping down stairs in j
the northwest comer of the building;!
the balance of the family and visitors j
were up stairs. Almost instantly the '
building was nnr ofed, and the logs of ;
1 the building, with the inmates of the j
| the chambers, went flying over the
j prairie. The oldest son, John, 21 or j
i22 years of age, was blown So rods i
; from the house. He was badly bmis- j
ed externally, and received severe in- |
tern al injuries. The second son, j
George, 13 years of age, was blown 30
rods, had his right leg broken, and i
was very badly bruised. The third |
! son, 'Willie, three years old, was carried j
i 20 rods, and was picked up afterwards •
| dead and fearfully mangled. A Miss i
i Anna Wilson, who was teaching school 1
j in the district, and at that time was
up stairs, was carried 37 rods, into a
wheat field, and when found was sur
i rounded with trunks, barrels, boxes,
{ etc., from the lower floor. She was
i seriously injured internally, and may
! not recover. Two small children, sleep
; ing together, up stairs, were wound
' together in their blankets by the force
| of the wind, and strange as it may ap
| pear, carried a number of feet from the
i building, right in the direction from
| which the wind came, southwest, and
i when found were unharmed. Mr3.
| Richardson, during all the time of the
: tornado, sat in her bed holding a child
lof 18 months in her arms. She was
I scratched some what about the face and
! head, but otherwise received no injury,
j The child was unharmed. Sir. Bich
; ardson was not even scratched. A
j young man by the name of Liberty
i Raymond, who had stopped over night,
i was blown thirty-six rods, and had
I both legs, one arm and his neck brok
i eu. The storm corningfrom the south
i west, struck the building on the corner
j and leveled everything to the ground,
i excepting some logs on the northw est
| corner, behind which stood the bed of
j Mr. and Mrs. Richardson. A side from
! these not a log could bo found within
| from twenty to forty feet from their
! former resting place. Os everything
| up stairs, excepting the bodies, not a
i thing, not even a beadstcad, or a piece
of one, could be found within one mile
of the house. Physicians were on hand
at an early hour, but the case of somo
of the sufferers is hopeless.
A Menagerie in a Midnight
Storm.
On Monday Baily & Co’s. Menagerie
and Circus exhibited at Muscatine. —
The tent was struck at 11, p. m., and
the show started for Davenport. Be
fore a dozen miles had been traversed,
a terrible*storm let loose its lightning,
thunder and water. The lightning
was blinding in its brilliancy, the thun
der was terrific, and the rain violently
driven by the wind, came down in
sheets. A panic seized the whole cav
alcade—men, horses and animals seem
terror-stricken. Eight of the drivers
deserted their teams, and it was not
long before wagons and horses were
in inextricable confusion—a jammed
up mass of floundering animals and
overturned vehicles. The darkness,
save when lightning illuminated the
scone, was impenetrable.
The caged lions, tigers, leopards,
wolves and other beasts, became fright
ened, and bounded from side to side
of their prisons, and rolled and growl
ed, and shrieked in very terror. The
lighting came nearer and nearer, until
its thunder seemed to break in the
very midst of the caravan. The ele
phants laid down in the road and re
fused to move. Three of the horses
were killed by lightning. It is a won
der that ho human lives were lost.
At daybreak the scene presented
beggars description. Imagine it from
the above account of the night’s expe
rience.
It was the worst adventure that ev
er befell a circus in this portion of the
West.
The show reached Davenport at a
late hour in the day, men and teams
well nigh exhausted by the terrible
night’s work and the hard journey that
followed it.—Davenport Gazette.

case the jury made a mistrial at the
last term of the Superior Court, was
killed last night in jail. The parties
were disguised, and are unknown
The keys to the jail were taken from
the jailor at the pistol’s mouth, and
the throat of the prisoner cut. We
have not time or space to go into de
tails of this tragedy, and regret ex
ceedingly that we have even had cause
for its mention.
He having paid the debt our opinion
cannot injure his case now, and while
we are free to say that we have no
doubt but that he was the murderer
of our worthy citizen Capt. F., and
that justice cried aloud for his life, we
disapprove of mob law, and think that
the law of the land should have been
allowed to take its course, and its de
cision abided by and held sacred.—
Our community much regret the occur
rence.
