Herald, of yesterday, we CLEAN the following
The health of the citizens of our town
was never better than it is at present. We
do not know of asingle case of sickness with
in the corporation limits.
We are informed by gentlemen from
Overton county, that the petroleum opera
tors of that county are meeting success be-
yond their expectations. The Newman well
have pumped all tweir barrels and tanks
full. The Douglas well, belonging to the
same company, have struck vein of oil at
fourteen feet. The Jackson p. q NJ. Co.,
have struch oil at $50 feet and sent for
tubing. The Hickenberg well will commence
operations next week.
From all parts of the county we hear
that the prospect for an abundant yield of
corn and cotton is excellent. Indeed if
there be no unforeseen accident the corn crop
this year will be as large and the cotton crop
larger than ever before. There will be
about half crop of wheat made. All kinds
Of fruit is abundant, except apples. Ofthcse
there will probably be about one-third of
the usual yield.
DEKALB CoUNTY.-The Lebanon Her
aid and Register, of the I'd, says:
We are informed that on the Both inst,
Bob Pullin, a discharged Federal soldier,
shot Mr.. Charley Hill, the Sheriff of De-
kalb county, undr the following circum-
stances: 1t seems that Pullin anticipated an
attempt to arrest him and armed himself
with four revolvers. With these he rode
into Smithville. Mr. Hill, the Sheriff,
having a capias for him, in the discharge of
his duty, went up to and arrested him by
Selling the reins of his bride. Pullin or
dered Hill to let loose or he would kill him.
The officer refused to do this, Pullin fired
on him, the ball taking effect on the top Of
the shoulder and ranging downward, inhict-
ing dangerous and it is feared a mortal
wound. Mr.. Gergin, a constable, fired at
Pullin as he started off, without effect, who
returned two shots, but without effect Pullin
escaped. Pullin killed two negroes in
1864.

- We learn from a citizen of Mitchells
Vile, that a short time since, the body of
Tom. Morrow, noted guerrilla, was found
near Esq. Trouts, in Sumner county, about
10 miles northwest of Gallatin, with several
bullet-holes in his left breast and head. We

of the 18th of May, a negro man was taken
from the residence, of Mr.. NJ. l.. Moore,
near Mitchellsville, in this county, and muir
dered, it is supposed, by negroes.
BRADLEY CoUNTY.-From the Cleveland
Banner, of yesterday, we take the following:
The crops in this section continue in a
healthful condition. Everything is grow
ing off finely. Some have apprehensions
that the wet spring will give the wheat crop
the rust but as vet, we have heard of no
fields having it. Where the ground is good,
and it was sown early, the wheat is good
and promises over an average crop-where
the crop was sown late, on poor land, it is
too thin, and will scarcely make the seed
as is the case every crop year, whether the
season is favorable or not. The corn crop
is ine-never promised better. The oat
and hay crop is, in effect, made, and never
was better in this part of the State. The
weather since Sunday has been clear and
pleasant during the day, with very cool
nights, requiring fire for comfort. In the
south part Of this county, on Tuesday night,
there was light fall of frost, but it did no
damage except slightly nipping the potato
tops.
KNOX COUNTY.-The Wing says the
weather in that section is very fine and IA
vorable to the growing crops. Rains are
frequent, and showers gentle. The spring
has been a little cold, but the warm, sunny
season is working a great improvement on
the appearance of the fields and meadows,
and give ground TO hope for glorious crops.
SULLIVAN CoUNTY-The Bristol Gazette
announces that the military post at that
place has been discontinued, by order of
Gen. Grant, and the troops stationed there,
left Yesterday.
The Murfreesboro Monitor, of yester-
day informs us that Mr. Reuben Bodies was
accidentally killed on Thursday, while re-
moving his house, which had been taken
away from his lot during the war. In this
work the structure blew over, and fell upon
him, crushing him and causing instant
DEATH He was a member of tine Presbyte-
rian church, sixty-six years Of age, and his
death is generally regretted.
The colored schools of Murfreesboro,
hand an examination on Thursday.
800 The people of Rutherford are greatly
rejoiced at the pardon by tie President of
their beloued fcllow-citizen, Gen. j. 3. Pal
mcr, late Of the c. 5. \.
FRANKLIN CoUNTY.-The Home Journal,
Of the ID inst, has the following:
The weather in this section during
several nights the past week was almost
cold enough for frost. Farmers tell us that
such weather makes the cut worm much
worse. In several instances farmers are
planting their corn fer the third time this
spring. We have heard of several fine
stands Of wheat, and Others say they will
not make seed.
We regret that Mr.. Allen Orear an
industrious and clever young man, and
known by many in our mids', was killed a
few days since by collision IN the \. X c.
railroad. Mr. Orear was on one of the col
liding engines at the time of he accident.
