Our people are generally prepared to accept any event, whether usual or unusual, but those who have farms along Catawba River, wefe not prepared to accept the dry weather freshet of last week. | But they can console themselves j over, missing the storms and j down pour of rxin which fell upon J the head-waters of the Catawba? and caused its sudden overflow. The crops on the low bottoms are almost ruined and the damage to crops on the river farm is heavy. The loss of corn crops , and the low price of cotton, have put n dejected appearance on some of our river farmers' faces, and gives them the appearance of the average defeated candidate?However, hoth can work on a similar plan?Try your luck again.

He agrees ; with many others, that true love does not always run smooth, hut is moved and tossed by every I adverse wave, only to be broken : by the breakers of uncontrotable circumstances and formed anew in stronger and more powerful billows.
