 Serere DnOaght.-Itis is stated in an old pa- per that drought was experienced in New England " in the latter part of the 18th cen tury," which was so severe in its effects that the corn-blades were crisped, the pumpkin vines withered, and the green BLack berries dropped from the bushes before they turned red.

 Horrible DepraUity.-A man by the name of James Daniels, after being absent from home a short time returned in state of in- toxication, and without any provocation on her part, seized his wife, who had a child a. bout 4 months old, dragged her from the house and threw her into well, which she got out of and fled without serious injury. But the transaction does not end here. He goes into the house again where the child still remained, collects all the provision and pla- ces it in the middle of the aoOr---he then goes out, gets his horse and ties him to, the building which was soon in flames. A daugh- ter nearly grown. who had witnessed this horrid scene, rushed into the house and brought out the child. when this inhuman wretch of father endeavoured to take it from her for the purpose of committing it to the flames. She, however, resisted, and saved the chld's life.

 This transaction the baneful effect of in- temperance, has reduced the family of Da- nies from comfortable sustinance to penu- ry and want. Daniels, has been arrested and committed to the jail of Currituck county.
