and gratitude for his kindness as instruc
tor. believe these are the sentiments of
the entire class, and we all feel that dill
gent students can acquire a practical
knowledge of Stenography as quickly as
represented to us !; that this nseful. art.
when taught by a competent teacher, is
not the herculenn task which some people
represent it to be. Our study of Stenog-
raphy has onle been in the intervals of
other school duties, and in five months We
have gained a Knowledge of it which will
aid greatly our ability to express thoughts
rapidly, either in reporting or other occa-
sions .or writing. We have no difficulty
in reading our manuscript and hence there
is not as some think, ii necessity for copy
ing unless for others who do not possess
the art. Believing this tribute to a faith
full teacher will do good by pointing out
the way for others to avail themselves OF
his instruction. Iremain, &c.

THE SToRMs.-The storms which swept
over Tennessee and Kentucky on Saturday
and Sunday, were the heaviest this season.
Thirteen inches of water fell at Louisville
between two and nine o'clock Saturday
morning, and the Louisville and Nash
Vile railroad number of miles this side
of that point was filled with drift-wood,
which had been swept upon the track by
floods Of water. On Sunday, trestleworks
No. 10 and No. 20, in the Cumberland
mountains, near Tantallon, on the Nash
Vile and Chattanooga railroad, were COM
pletely swept away, necessitating trans
fer of passengers and freight until the
damage can be repaired. The house of Mr..
Burke, on the Charlotte pike, was struck by
lightning Sunday afternoon, tumbling to
the earth a portion of a large chimney, and
rendering several persons temporarily in
