A ' Rnrk Ilaa4 ratv KMnt WrtUa t Uliartloia la IrtWH. UlUeKock, Ark.. Dee. 21 Por- haps a tew lines from tbe annny oath may be ot interest to your many readers at thia time, when they are ia the midst ot enow and ice. TAe expression, "sunny south," nowever. is a misnomer . at present. at least. The weather has been fine here during December, until last Saturday, when a sleet storm set in, continuing Sunday and Sunday night, and yesterday the effects of the storm were to be seen on all sides. Telephone and elcctrio light wires were dawn In every part of the city. The elcctrio car service was buiiy demoralized, although the management is deserving of great prauo ror the ecorts put forth to keep the ears moving. The exces sive weigiit ot snow and sleet dam aged a pre it many roofs, and in some of the largi wholesale houses to the extent of itveral thousand dollars. But what neema the greatest pity is the wreck of ornamental trees and shrubs on many of the fine lawns in the city. The magnolia trees in par. ticuiar, with their largo glossy leaves, which remain green ail the year, could not bear the heavy weigni, ana many 01 tnem are com pletely ruined. The storm was the most severe 01 its kind in the recol lection ot that famous individual found in every locality "the oldest inhabitant." Oae thing hero which seems very strango to a northerner, is the ruurta of July aspect connected with the approach ot Christmas. Shop windows are filled with skyrockets, Hainan candles and fire crackers. and the small bay with toy pistol ia rignt in ms element. Hand sleds and skates are something which young America in this vicinity knows but little about. This elect storm . causes a crest deal of suffering among the poorer classes, who are not nt all prepared for cold an! snow. Io ordinary win ter weather here, whenever there is a heavy whito frost, men who are at work out of doors hare to build a fire to work by, and now it is too wet for anything onto! doors to burn. so they cannot work at all. Bat they have a happy exposition, and a soon as the snow has disappeared thry will copy tbe sanshinc, and make no preparation whatever for tho 'next coid soap. J he low price 01 cotton this full, and the shortened crop, on account ot the severe drouth ot the past sea- son. is cauticg many or the planters and farmers to discuss tho advisa bility of a diversity of crops in the future, and will probably result in more attention being paid to tbo culture of grain and frnit.
