A STRIKE FOR BETTER HEALTH
CUTTING A RESERVOIR.

For several years past there has been
much sickness in the vicinity of the ca
nal reservoir, in Gibson county, which
has been very generally attributed to the
existence of that large body of water,
covering hundreds of acres, including
much timbered land, and being in some
places fully fifteen feet deep. The con-
viction became so strong that one night
last week the people of that whole viein-
ity cOngregated to abate the nuisance
They came armed with picks, mattocks,
and shOvels, and to work they went with
a will They dug sluice in the bank
fifty feet wide, not for a moment appre-
hending any danger The country
around is lower than the banks of the
reservoir, and when they cut through the
bank the vast field OF water began to
rush out.
The stream was small and harmless at
first, but as the opening widened, an an
CRY Hood began to pour through like a
mighty crcroSSe, and fences, and bridges,
and stock were carried away before the
wild rush of waters. One bridge, IA
feet long, was swept away, besides other
smaller ones. Hundreds of rails were
borne down upon the resistless current;
and one German lost fifty head of sheep.
The people were filed with CONSERVATION,

Hail DeIIyqry al BrownsviiIe

Ga Thursday evening last at Browns
vile, Tenn, two convicts escaped from the
Jail. Oae of them Ed. Edstun had been
sentenced TO three years 10 the penite0tary
at The present term of the Circuit Court
of Haywood county for horse stealing. The
other, a man named Ellif had been SEN
fenced for fifteen years from Obion county
for murder, had appealed to the Supreme
Court, and had been sent 20 that place for
safe keeping. In referring TO the aff.ir,
the Brownsville Bee says:
There is a great deal of mystery about
the escape Of these men, that no enc has
been able to fathom. Sheriff Sherman, and
the City Mar5hal were doing their lively
bast to keep them, and had locked them in
their cell with particular care few hours
before. Five different locks, all out Of the
reach Of The prisoners, we're turned upon
them, but il seems that Love is not the
only laus her at lock smiths, for upon eE
animation, it was found that four of these
locks had been unlocked, and the fifth
broken. The keys belonging TO the Jail
were in safe keeping, and the superstition
| is that some one entered with false keys
| from the outside. The alarm soon spread
and the officers and large posse Of citizen;
made strenuous efforts to find them, bu
were unable to diiooVeT any trace Of them
| Our authorities are eorely puzzled over
the affair.
