A Wonderful Negro.?Wo hail tho pleasure tho other day of witnessing the performance of a negro boy, syc years old, upon the piano. This wonderful child has nover been under an instructor, is blind, and yet ho can play anything he hears after a few trials. Ho has been playing about one year, and manifests a great fondness for music of the highest order. He is tho property of Gen. Bethutie, and was born nbout three miles from this city. We are down on humbugs, but our incredulity has been satisfied in this instance, and wo think this little negro a prodigy as well as a musician.?Columbus Sun. Madisonville, (Texas,) Oct. 18.?The corn crop of Texas this year is very short, on account of the drought, ami the cotton crop is almost a failure, in consequenco of the backwardness of the season. Most of the cotton was young, and the worm started on it before it matured, and entirely destroyed the plant, or at least as far as I have heard. The wheat crop in the upper country is fine. Sections of our country have been visited this fall with a very troublesome disease called flux, which have proved fatal with many. Youit, respectfully, L. S. Carolinian. Hung.?Clarissa, the colored girl that poisoned Col. W. B. Wilson's little daughter, suffered the extreme penalty of the law, on Friday, 2d inst. She met death with a calm and composed mind, shaking hands with several friends and asking them to meet her in Ileaven. She said "all was well, the only thing she dreaded was the struggle with death."?TTorkville Citizen. mm PAM. & WINTER GOODS.
