TH'E ERA. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1S74. The September returns of the De partment of Agriculture show a very heavy decline In the prospects of the cotton crop In all tno states e- cent Virginia, where it aoouiuv if. im- ThA rron, of Virginia, of - Virginia, however, is too small to exercise any appreciable influence on the ' general result. The Statoaverages are as follows : virgima ?a , iunu fa mil mi 87. a decline or ia auxing Aiimisti South Carolina 66, a de cline of 18 ; Georgia 79, a decline of 17?

The leading "cause of this decline is found in the prevalence over a large section of the cotton area of severe drought, accompanied by intense heat. In many localities hot winds havp rnrrhpl the crops, and in one or two cases destroying it within half on hmir. Several counties re port no rain for fouror five months, in many cases the top crops are en tirely destroyed, the bolls having all fallen. The middle crops were also badly Injured. In a few locai- ifif- crentle rains have made fine t rons. but the number of these fa vored spots is very small. In the Atlantic Cotton Slates cool nights and heavy rains are alleged in aomo counties as the cause of the decline. The drought has prevented the in crease of Insects depredating upon cotton. They are reported in very few counties, and have been bo whero very injurious. Whitewashing. Wo hardly know a more pleasing sight than while whistling long on the various lines of railroads, to see a farm house, with all its outhouses and fences exhibiting a snowy whiteness in striking contrast to the green fields. It at once impresses our mind that the occupant has at least an idea of cleanliness and beauty. Anart from all this, it is preserva tive of wood, and it adds at least Hftv por cent, to the looks of the nlncc. and in a sanitary point of view, and its use cannot be over estimated. Its cheapness places it in the roach of all. Whv not use it freely? A Monster. What might have been a very uncomfortable monster, but turned out a dead one, was oorn a 1 1 Til 11.. T A . . . . . at uravviue. in., recently, jii was a girl having a complex body, in which were one head, four ears, two noses, one mouth, four arms and four legs, two spinal columns, two brains in one skull, one stomach, two livers, three kidneys, and one alimentary canal. Had the monster lived, it would have been a greater curiosity than were the Siamese twins, but as it is, one doctor has dissected and given an account of it to the world. Croup can be cured in one minute, and the remedy is simply alum and sugar. The way to accomplish the deed is to take a knife or grater and hhave off in small particles about a tenspoonful of alum ; then mix it with twice its quantity of sugar, to make it plausible, and administer it as quickly as possible. Almost in stantaneous relief will follow. A New York merchant has writ ten to the Attorney General, that large quantities of ammunition have been sold in that city for organized leaders in the Southern States.
