Mr. EDlroE: Please give in your next paper
a part Of the Statute laws Of Tennessee for the
benefit of the district officers, as they do not
understand the laws. J. D., Constable in
tne 10th district, levied ON A. Nolen's cotton
oaie, at T. Sellsrs' gin, and pinned the cxecu-
.ion 70 one end of the bale of cotton, and left it
Ior sale keeping in the care Of the execution.
"nea he returned the execution was eone.
Ar. cellars had taken il of. The Constable
sa'a nc thought that was the bale. but the ex-
ecution was gone. Mr.. sellars had it in his
pocket, and told him that was the place to keep
t. Now, Mr.. Editor, give him part of the
statute Law of Tennessee, for fear be tries to
pm the next one to some wild beast and gets
hurt or he may meet with some man or widow
woman who has no property to pin his e1ecu-
ton to, and pin it TO them. A. FRIEyp.

AR. EDITOR: After making considerable CT.
iort to catch some of the fnny tribe to-day,
anu making complete failure, could not en-
OF our portion Of Maury, which = rather slim,
ior have not heard OF marriage, death or
murder within the last ten days; but there is |
ruhor afoat that looks rather suspicious IL |
goes thus: Mrs. Ham, who lived in Green |
fields Bend last year, while out with friend |
looking ior ginseng in deep hollow, discovered
what she supposed to be fresh grave, and |
WIN suck commenced to dig in the same,
when, to her great astonishment, out pours
flies and carrion bugs She became alarmed. |
and fled home, reported it TO her friends, and |
they. not thinking of murder, treated the mat !
ter lightly. 1t may be there was murder |
committed prior to the murder of Friedman,
which aroused the Indignation Of this neigh, |
borhood. This rumor will be looked into.
Capt. Southall, of the Bend, several DAYS
past met with rather. a loss in attempting TO |
cross the river at Hawkins Ford with wagon |
and team. The river proving too deep. he lost |
his loading, consisting of salt, coffee, etc.
Corn IS coming up iinely. Cotton is nearly |
all in the ground. There has been beautiful |
spell of weather for planting. Quite refresh
ing shower this evening. Hog cholera is ra-
ging to some extent among the river farmers.
Why isit We cannot have a dog cholera for |
every negro in this neighborhood has some five
or six ours yclping around There should be a !
heavy tax imposed upon the dog family.
