ABOUT half a mile beyond Summer
town, in the county cf Lawrence, there
are five trees on the roadside with crosses
made of oak lathes, nailed on them,
marking a circle in which the noble
John Bicknell was murdered, the his
tory of which our citizens are familiar
with.
There is a waterfall about one mile to
the left of the road, and about two miles
this side of Summertown. The water
pours oyer cliff of rocks some fifty feet
in height, and is very cold-so much so
much so that it will chill any one to bath
in it in the warmest weather. 1t is
closely shaded, not only at the falls but
all the way up the stream. There is, we
suppose, a sufficiency of water to obtain
the power ofat least forty horses.
OUR worthy Tax Collector tells us that
one eff the severest rains fell on last Sab; L

Thousands upon thousands of fence rails
were washed away. On Mr.. II. Z.
Mitchner's rented farm near Mr.. Henry
Harlan's, a COW was washed out of the
lot, and washed down little "run,"
which was so swollen that it took her
over the bridge and drowned her. Cot
ton and corn is badly, injured bv the
flood. and land desperately washed.

most without intermissiOn, and the
thrashers have worked slowly, on ac-
count of the dampness of the wheat.
Even now there are large fields of this
valuable grain remaining in the shock.
and of course large part of il is spoiled
Our friend Capt. John A. Miller, of Car
ter Creek. we regret to learn, will lose
much of his wheat crop. While waiting
for his tbrasher, his wheat sprouted and
the tops Of the shocks turned perfectly
green. We doubt not that Capt. Miller,
Mr.. Ogilvie and many others, will lose
enough wheat this season by waiting for
a thrasher 10 buy new one. 1t was re-
ported that 400 bushels of Mr.. Tin Chap
pell's, and his hay, was all ruined, but ,
we are glad to learn from that gentleman
himself that such - not the case.
