The New Iberia Sngar Bowl, of the 9th contains the following item relative to the contemplated construction of a branch railroad in that section of country, connecting with the Mobile and Texas Railroad.

This will prove another channel of trade beneficial to New Orleans We learn from good authority that the New Orleans, Mobile and Texas Railroad Company contemplate the early construction of a branch railroad from New Iberia, by way of Petite Anse or Avery's Salt Island, to Abbeville, a distance of about twenty five miles. It will probably cross Petit Ause Bayou at a point that will be accessible by boats, where another branch road from the mines will bring out the salt; thenre continue a course nearly due west 10 Abbeville, passing on the south side, and near Joseph Jefferson's Orango Island. We are informed tliat the great actor has expressed a willingness to subscribe liberally toward the construction of such a road. When this road is built it will velope the very best portion of Attaka pas, to say nothing of the vast wealth now lying hidden in the Petit Ause salt mine. We believe this road will insure a bright future for New Iberia, and make it the second city in the htate.

The hopes of our planters are brightening as the season advances, and hopw are entertained by the more sanguine that an average crop of our sacchuiue staple may reward the labors of the present year. The stubble is springiug into vernal life, and the plant cane on some plantations ia thriving famously. Some of our planters have been qui be fortunate in preserving their seed caue, and their prospects for a good crop are most fiattering; while others, whi questioned as to the condition of their erops, reply with a silent shake of the head and a lugubrious expression of countenance which tell of a disastrous winter more plainly than words could The only manufacturers of conf ec UonW by steam iu the are 11.

The Helena Clarion says: From all we can learn in regard to our crop prospects, it is evident that planting is considerably behind last year.

Coru has been planted some time, but the late dry spell cannot be of advantage to it. Cotton planting is not yet through with, although it onght to be. The first planting is up. We have heard nothing to indicate the probable amount or proior tion to corn. But we think our planters will try and have a sufficient amount of COITD The following is from the Fort Smith Herald, of late date: From all sections the report is that tlie planting of cotton and of corn is quite late, owing to the continued cold nights, and the scarcity of cotton seed for replanting if the first should be lost.

The reports of fruit prospects are cheering from alt parts. The Dardanelle tYell county Transcript says: What we know about farm; ng tms year is, that crops have been plantod very backward many of our farmers not being full done planting cotton yet. With an early frost next fall, even if the season should be favorable from now till then, there cannot possibly be a full crop made. The area of cotton land planted in this region is very little greater, if any, than it was last year. The Arkadelphia Standard says: The weather for the past few days has been balmy and springlike, which is most favorable to the planting interests of the country.

Crops are remarkably backward, owing to the late and wet spring, which greatly retarded planting. The present warm weather will soon bring them out, with a liberal application of elbow grease. i Georgia; Tha Rome Commercial says the mortality among the negroes of that town is alarming. i.

It has been truly and significantly said that domestic happiness is more dependent on good digestion than virtuous creeds or moral codes. If the dogma holds, the oracle can be consulted, by a prompt application to Price, the Delphic author of the celebrated Aromatic Stomach Bitters. Wherever, within the length and breadth ot the land, Price's bitters have penetrated, every household has been illumined by the snnshine of joy.

and every family reveled in the sweets of health and contentment The sparkling eye, the ruddy cheek, the cheerful auiile and happy glance, no less than the elastic step ami the unfaltering Uead, what are they but the elquent telltales of some vitalizing elixir I No secret botany holds the charm, no scientifio alchemy creates the spell. The days of miracles are gone the magic, mysteriously working wonders, have passed away, and the age, a plain, practical one glvens a tiniple tonic, that, by a happy amalgamation, restores to energy and strength the enervated system. Take Price's celebrated Aromatic Stomach Bitters, and you bid an eternal farewell to such unwelcome gueste as dyspepsia, indigestion, nervousness, neuralgia, flatulency ami debility. James W.
