every one with whom We have talked upon
the subject, that nearly all the fruit was

iured.-Puiaski Citizen, April 10.

FRUIT CRoP.-Fears are entertained by

crop. During the week we had several

County Court met on Monday, and the
recently elected county officers came for
ward, made their bonds and we're sworn
into office, with the exception of Mr.. Dill,
the Tax Collector, who, up to the present
writing has failed to make the required
bond. This failure consequently throws
the selection of another Collector before
the County Court, and we learn that the
first Monday in May has been set for an
election TO fill the vacancy Mufreesboro
Monitor, April II.
Never within the history of thieves and
thefts, has there been a time when the num-
Der exceeds that of the present day, unless
we except the deeds of Spoon Butler, and
the grand march to the Gulf. Hardly a

a horse, or an attempt being made to break
open a provision house. This state of
things has been chiefly brought about by
the wholesale pardoning of thieves and
cGt-throats by Brownlow, and increased by
a knowledge that professions of radicalism
will secure release for the blacklist villain |
that ever escaped the gallows to adorn the
walls of State penitentiary.-M urJrees- |
