Flood GRSeS.

At the Law Court, held in Chattanooga last
woek, there were several cases tried in which
the plaintiffs claimed damages for the destruc-
ton of goods in the great food of March, 1867.
There verdcts were given against the Nashville
and Chattanooga Railroad, two Of which were
in favor of two of our citizens, Messrs S. & j.
David The Court charged the jury that the
company was responsible, notwithstanding
the frcshct was unprecedented, if they found
from the proof that it was guilty of negligence
in anticipating the food, or in protecting the
property from it. The proof satisfied the jury
that the road was guilty of negligence, for they
found against it. The cases were argued for the
plaintiffs by Col. John Baxter and A. J. Kicks,

Cheap Lux--ie. for the People.

Opportunity, at the time when the cost of liv-
ing is enormous, new article appears in the
market, affording an unprecedented amount Of
delicious and wholesome aliment, slmost for a
song. We refer to the patent Sea Moss Farine,
which is now, by virtue of its extraordinary
cheapness, taking the place Of all the gelstinous
article of food manufactured from maize and
grain. The raw material of this nutritious and
fattening agent is the froe gift of nature; ma
rine moss growing in prodigious quantities on
the Irish coast, and known as Csrrageen.
Cleansed, desiccated concentrated and reduced
to powder by \ patent process this wonderful
plant yields larger quantity of pure, pslatable
aliment in proportion to its weight, than any
substance produced from the great agricultural
staples. Artistic cooks pronounce it the finest
article for Custards Puddings, Creams, Soups,
Sauces, &c, that has yet been discovered, and
tho Sea Moss Farine Co.. of New York, who
own the patent, find it all they can do to keep
pace with the demands for the new staff of life.

The trial of this machine on yesterday in Mr..
Jack Jones clover field, fully satisfied all who
were present, that this is great improvement
upon the old method of saving seed. Instead of
sweeping the grass clover, it clips or shears
off the heads without injurng the grass. We
are assured by those who understand such mat
tiers, that the quantity of seed that may be saved
by this machine in one day, will more than pay
for it, With the advantages Of this machine,
our farmers may soon make their grass seeds the
most valuable part of their crops Thousands
of bushels of seeds have been lost every year
from the want of this cheap and convenient
mode of saving them. We have all the ele-
ments of great manufacturing city, and if we
would develop our agricultural resources, upon
which the prosperity of our country depends,
our merchants and artisans must do their part
in supplying our farmers with the necessary i'm
plements to make and save their crops Who
will make the first move in this matter.

The Retired Conductor.

The following anecdote is told ola conductor
who was promoted to train dispatcher:
Habit was exceedingly strong with the ex-
conductor. As he sat in the office he would
start every time he heard bell ring and yell,
IAN aboard Then he would go about the
office at intervals and try to collect fare from
his assistants. We dropped in one afternoon,
and he wanted to know if we had pass
He couldn't get accustomed to his new po-
siton ut all. He pinned to be again on the
road.
One day he begged the boys to put him
through collision, which they did to his entire
qualification. They tore his clothes nearly off,
BACKED both his eyes, broke a kerosene lamp
on top of him He was in an exstacy of delight
and declared he handn't enjoyed himself so
much since he had Il bile.
He couldn't stay out of business long, though,
and Jim is now running train on the kentucky
road, and is as great favorite as ever.

a Good Movement.

We learn that several citizens of North Knox
vile propose donating ten acres of land for the
purpose of establishing an agricultural implc-
mont mandatory The land is situated just
beyond tho corporate limits, and is every way
adapted to the purpose for which it is designed
by the philosophical donors.
The Ohio manufacturers will return to this
city in August next to witness the grand thrcsh-
ing match to take place at that time, when
Strong inducements will be held out to them by
our citizens, in the way subscriptions to joint
stock company, in the event one is formed. This
enterprise, if commenced cannot fail to succeed
and will be met by the people of Knoxville with
the encouragement it deserves.

Death of an Aged Coiorcd woman.

a correspondent from Mill Spring Jefferson
county, communicates the intelligence Of the
death of very old colorcd woman, known as
" Aunt Dolly" near that place, on Sunday last
She was without doubt the oldest person in the
State, and though her age was not exactly
known, she Is supposed to have been upwards
of one hundred and twenty-five years.
DR.. Jarnagin, of that county. says that old
Aunt Dolly" belonged to his father when he
was born, and that she was his nurse, being then
too old to do much besides nursing, and he is
now in his sxticth year. She had become so
old as to lose all recollection of the past She
knew those that stayed around her about just ss
a child would. She had forgotten how many
children she had over had, and their names.
But it is known that she raised IL large family of
children, aad the youngest one, who is now liv-
ing in North Carolina, and was here last year to
see her is now scvcnty-tivc years old.
