HAY CRoP.-The grass and clover crops
Of this section never looked more promising
than they do the present season. We look
certainly for a heavy hay crop. The oat
crop also looks promising CerelGTld Ban

A fisherman was exhibiting a large cat

week that Col. PeytOn had sold his mare,
Fanny McAllister, and her Lexington filly,

LEAGUERs ON THE RAMPAGE. = We
learn that a party of Union Leaguers, in
Cooke county, have been "sloshing around
Gorman's Depot for some two weeks past,
committing outrages and ordering num-
Der of good citizens of that community to
leave the country. 1t does seem to us very
strange that such proceedings are tolerated,
yet such conduct as these miscreants are
said to be guilty of. is an evidence TO the
powers that be" of loyalty cloak
which is lately much worn by scOundrels to
cover up their wic6edness.-Morristotch Ga
sette, Mdy6.
PAINFUL ACCIDENT.-On Monday eve
ming, about eight o'clock, during the thun-
der storm then prevailing, Mrs. Major w.
Il. McBath was 40 severely shocked by
stroke of electricity as to render her in
sensible for some time. At the present time
she has so far recovered as TO render her
numerous friends hopeful that she has not
been seriously injured. We hear of quite
a number of persons who were shocked at
the same time, some of them severely

SENT BACK.-Stephen Turner, who was
4 i e la
tiary by a pardon from Gov. Brownlow,
had been at home but few weeks, when
he was arrested and committed to Jail upon
a charge of stealing bacon from the smoke
house of a poor widow woman. Last week
the Circuit Court at Rutledge gave him a
hearing, found him guilty and sentenced
him to the penitentiary for five years. Tur
ner's brother participated in the theft, also
goes up" for the same length of time. So,
instead of making a vote by that pardon,
the Governor lost one, because had Stephen
not been turned loose, in all probability
his brother would not have stolen the bacon.
