STATEMENTS.

The Lebanon Herald of yesterday, furnish
es the following items:
WHEAT CROP IN WIIsoN.-Our farmers
throughout the county have been busily en-
gagged for the last fortnight harvesting the
wheat crop. We are informed that in ma
ny places the yield will be much greater
than was expected. There will be half
crop made.
CUMBERLAND UNIvERsITY.-We have
been asked number of times whether the
University was really going to be rebuilt,
and if so, when the important work would
be commenced. We have been informed
that the University will certainly be re-
built; that the work will commence next
fall or winter, or as soon as the funds sub
scribed have been collected.
FREE SCHooLs.-Commission have
been elected in every district in our county,
and we are informed that schools will be
established in all the districts shortly.
The Tableaux and Concerts in behalf of
the Ladies Benevolent Society of Tennes-
see," on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings,
was a complete success. GREEN MORROW
took the people by storm, and carried all
with him in his generous efforts to bring re-
lief TO the disabled unfortunates, late of the
Confederate service.
THE CARTHAGE BAND.-Not the least
attractive part of the exercises at the Bap-
tist Church on Tuesday and Wednesday ev-
enings was the delightful music furnished
by WILLIAMS Brass and String Band, from
Carthage. This band which is composed
entirely of amateurs, all of them Exon
federate soldiers, although but recently or
E ~, 1,
ever heard perform. They very generously
volunteered their services, free of charge,
for the benefit of disabled Confederate sol
diers; and the thanks of the entire commu-
nifty are due them for their disinterested
kindness as well as for the splendid music
with which they delighted us on Tuesday
and Wednesday.
MILITARY INTERFERENCE WITH THE
CIRCUIT COURT AT SMITHvILLE-We are
! informed that on account Of the presence of
| 4 military force at Smithville, sent there
for the purpose of watching the action Of
the court, Judge MCLEAN refused to hole
the June term of his Court, for DeKalb
| county. 1t appears that several months ago
some horses were replevined from persons who
claimed to have been soldiers in the Federal
army. Gen. THOMAS upon hearing of the
horses had been taken without authority the
owners refused to give them up, and APP
| pealed TO the court for protection. The
Judge not recognizing the right of Gen.
| THOMAS to interfere in the administration
| of civil Justice, listened to the appeal, and
hence the military interference.
The Franklin Rerier, of yesterday, says :
The cotton prospects are bad, owing to
| bad stands, wet weather, etc. Corn is gen.
orally looking well.
Some of our farmers are harvesting
their wheat crops, and represent that the
yield will be very small.
- Business is very dull in our city. The
monotony is relieved occasionally bya small
dog tearing through the streets with tin tied
| TO his narrative.
Col. FRANK LAVENDER exhibited a
| gourd of his own raising, last week, in
Franklin, weighing lS5 pounds, six feet and
two inches long.
The Springfield Register has the follow
ing:
A WHITE MAN SHOT BY A NEGRO
| On Monday last, we learn, that a negro man
| in the employ of DIR. j. S. BROWN, living in
| the northern portion of this county, shot
|
living in Kentucky, near the Logan and
Robertson county line.
The facts, as detailed to US, are as follows:
| The negro man visited the residence of Mr..
| Cook, during his absence, and wished topur-
| chase a chicken from Mrs. Cook, who did
| not desire to dispose of them, the negro in
sisting stating that his wife was sick. Mrs.
| C. caught one and handed him, after which,
| the negro made some very unnecessary and
insulting remarks, throwing at some chick
1 ems in The yard. Mr.. c. arriving home in a
short time, heard the statement of his family
as to what had occurred, mounted his horse,
went,to the field of DIR. Brown, where the
man was at work, and arrested him, and
when on their way to the magistrate, the
negro in front on foot Mr.. c. in the rear, on
| horseback. with his pistol in hand. After
having proceeded in this manner some dis
lance Mr.. Crook, riding closely in his rear,
the negro suddenly springing back, seized
| the pistol from Mr.. Cook, firing almost in
stantly, the ball taking effect, passing
| through the upper part of the hip bone into
the bowels. The negro was not arrested at
last accounts Mr.. Cook is still living, so
far as we are informed, with little or no
hopes of his recovery.
HAMILTON CoUNTY.-The Chattanooga
| american Union says in regard to the oat
| crop:
4 gentleman from the country told us a
| day or two ago that he had noticed an APP
| pearance of rust in some of the oat fields in
| the country. Some years ago this disease
| proved so fatal to oats that many tarme r
| abandoned its cultivation altogether but We
| trust the agricultural interests will escape
/ Il =. Il
times that there is an appearance of ustsion
oats when the stalk and grain are not at all
affected.
| BEDFORD CoUNTY.-The Shelbvville
AmeI5oda Union says the wheat crop of Bed
ford county is now being harvested, and we
are glad to learn the yield will be much lar
ger than our farmers anticipated. 1t is true
that the stand on the ground is rather thin,
but the heads are large and well filed con-
sequently il is safe to say an average crop
| will be harvested.
Oats and corn are looking fine, and with
continued good seasons a magnificent crop Of
both will be harvested.
| FRANKLIN CoUNTY.-The Winchester
| Home Journal says Corn is looking much
| better, and with a fair season hepceforth,
the crop of this important cereal will be an
| average, at least. Wheat will be short-Say
half average There will be a bountiful
supply Of fruit.
| RUTHERFORD CoUNTY.-The MurfreesbOro
Monitor SAYS: Our city and vicinity was
visited on Monday last, with the heaviest
rain and hail storm within the memory of
the oldest inhabitants. The ground was lit
| erally covered with hail stones Of the size OF
small marbles. OF course the gardens, corn
| and cotton fields were greatly injured, espec-
iallv the latter, already greatly injured by a
| bad stand and unfavorable season. and, I'M
less the weather in future shall be very pro-
pitious, more than half a crop cannot be
! calculated upon.
| BRADLEY CoUNTY.-The Cleveland Ban
ner says the crops, at this season of
the year, were never better. Most Of
The wheat crop has been harvested, and
the yield is much more than an average
in this county, and there viii be large sur
plus for the market. 1t is thought the
price will range from s. so to 81 So
