illustrations are very amusing. The frontispiece'

artist is John Leech, who has given the world such
vast fund of amusement through the pages OF
Panch, no farther recommendation is required

DAMAGE BY THE FLOOD IN TENNEssEE.--The
Nashville Whg says: THE late heavy rains ap-
pear to have extended a considerable distance in
every direction over the country. We learn from
the Murfreesboro News OF Wednesday, that from
the rain OF the preceding Thursday, Stone's river
ever known to attain and that the flood in Lytie's
creek had swept away about hundred yards OF
the Railroad, south oil the depot. The News also
learns that some damage was done to the track
about ten miles beyond Murfreesboro, near Chris
tiana. We also hear that some injury was done
by the flood, that part of the Road between Chat
tanooga and the Tennes see river, but we are not
particularly informed of its nature or extent
We trust they will turn out to be inconsiderabe at
most.
