when there is no active demand
for the dray, the drivers amuse
themselves by getting on tho

some of our draymen that they
frequently forget to hitch their

In a recent 'number of the

fied to note that our old friend
Judge MeCrimmon, late ot the
"Jidlrille Beacon" had become
associated in the editorial man
agement ot the Banxek, and we
can assure the readers of that
hitherto excellent paper that
they will be none the fo3er by
such an addition to its editorial
force. Whilst from the person
al popularity ot Judge MeC. in
this county, the circulation ot
the Banner will more than
quadrupled in a short space ot
time. Nothing new of interest

dated by prospects of grasshop

srreat many ol our farmers pre
paring to plant the ribbon sugar
cane, in quantities varying from
one quarter to four and five
acres rather as an experiment
than otherwise. Corn and cot
ton will also be planted in about
the same proportion as hereto
