RUNAWAY TEAM--NARRoW EsCAPEs.--
On Monday last as Mr.. j. A. Enslev, an
aitache of GOoddelPs livery stable, at
tempted TO get In wagon by stepping on
the doHbIetree, hisfSOt slipped and he fell
at the horses heels. The frightened ami
mails plunged forward and commenced a,
rapid run, with Mr.. Ensley clinging to the
bolster. Their career, however, was soon
checked Dy running the wagon against
tree. One of Mr.. Ensley' legs was caught
between the tree and portion of the
wagon, causing a very painful confusion.
We noticed little child, FIVE or six years
old, standing near the tree when the wagon
struck, and had it not been for this check
to the runaways, the little child would, in
all probability, have been run over, as it
was standing directly in their course and
seemed to be paralyzed through fear.-

VERY GooD.-The growing crops of cot
ton and corn throughout this section are
very good, indeed, better than we have seen
for years. During the past six or eight
days excellent weather has been enjoyed,
and the fields occupied by general green"
last week now look as clean as a new pin.
The almost ripened wheat is all that could
be desired. Prosperity seems to be pre-
pairing wreaths for each tiller of the soil.
May the enlivening prospect brighten every
day till golden autumn comes.-Boiipdr

MAIL RoBBERY.-Last Saturday Post
master Pybass received from Jackson a
large number ofletters, originally destined
for parties here, and which, it is supposed
was distracted from the mail bags between
this point and Grand Junction, on or about
the 9th inst All of them had been torn
open by the thief and thrown upon the
track of the Mobile and Ohio railroad
few hundred yards north of the depot at
Jackson. They were principally from
parties at Memphis, LAGRANGE, Moscow,

Charleston road, west of the Junction.

The body of female child was found in
Duck river, near Columbia, last week. 1t \
was supposed to be white. The top of the
skull was broken and gone, but nothing
could be ascertained as TO whether this was
done before the body was thrown into The
river.
a correspondent of the Columbia Herald, |
who has travelled over the larger portion |
Of Maury county, says the wheat is the |
finest he ever saw, and there is no indica- |
ton of rust or smut. The finest field he |
saw was of the celebrated Boughton wheat,
belonging TO Maj. n. f. Chairs. Other
represent cotton, corn and |
oats as looking we'll, considering the un- /
favorable season. Fruit is only tolerably |
good and plentiful. Some farmers have |
plenty, others have scarcely any. Orchards
on low, damp ground, are badly injured,
while all fruit on dry upland is sound and
healthy. ......... i
In recent issue Of the Dirie Farmer,
Altman, of Giles county, suggests that ag-
ricultural societies give agricultural nipple
ments and papers in the place Of plated |
silver cups and pitchers "a premiums.
This is an excellent suggestion.

ing corn at Chattanooga for the Freedmen's

DISTURBING PUBLIC WoRsHIP.-In the
Circuit Court this week, Rufus Craig, Sam
lei Stone, Thomas Carter, John Wilt
hire and c. McMeens, were tried under
IN Indictment for disturbing public wor-
hip. All of these young gentlemen are,
We believe, members OF the Methodist
Episcopal Church, at Stones Chapel, few
niles west of Mt. Pleasant. The evidence
n the proceedings gave funny facts, sacre-
igious though their tendency be. 1t seems
hat some time since one Watson, self
preacher, norated it about that
ie would preach at Stones Chapel, on
iyen Sunday. He not being known in
he neighborhood, alarge congregation col
ected to hear him, among them the young
Gentleman named in the indictment.
he so-called preacher commenced
y saying that he would dispense
nth singing and praying, as these
were the work of the |
lllowed by some doctrine still more
strange, striking and peculiar" He said
hat Methodism was gotten up by the devil, |
hat all denominations of so-called Chris
ans, were the instruments of bis Satanic
faiesty that Heaven and hell were myths;
here was indeed such being as God, and
e bad place of existence, but future re-
Yards and punishments were humbugs.
