The Weather SATURDAY.

The following was furnished by Pro. J.
X. Payne concerning the storm Satur-
day
Fair weather Prevailed last night and
until six o'clock this morning, with falling
barometer, however, and slowly rising
thermometer. The Barometer fell one
fourth of an inch In the eight hoursfrom II
O'Clock last night. Wind was light at
o'clock A NJ, and from the east. 1t veered
rapidly through Sc, s., and S.W. to w.
and w then back to S. w. again by 9 AN.
Hot gusts raised the temperature 30 from
Z to o A. NJ,
Some of the hot gusts from $50 A. NJ, to
$3.50 A. NJ, must have had temperature
of SOP or 90o, and carried II smoky OdOr.
The thermometer at $3.50 a. NJ. stood $50.
This storm has been reported daily since
it left the Western plains. Itseems to ben-
creasing its area and losing some of its in
\ tensity.
Rain began at $3.50 A. M.with high winds
and momentary rise Of barometer, indi-
eating that the center of squat had
passed. The whirls all moved against
| the hands of a watch.
December %, 1871.
The atmosphere Saturday was remark
ably humid. Water hung upon the walls
| of various business houses in town. and
we should not be surprised if some of our
merchants found portion of their goods
damaged by the almost unprecedented
moisture. The hot gusts spoken of origi-
mated in the following way Cloud con-
sists of water and heat the heat being la
tent and producing no effect on a themOm-
eter if from any cause the cloud be con-
densed the water may fall as rain, and the
heat is liberated, and becomes sensible
heat, which will affect the thermometer.
! During a storm some winds are nearly
| vertical, and these may quickly carry
\ down the liberated heat as hot gusts.

4 New Method of Packing Butter.

\ Michigan dairyman has lately pub
lished his method of packing butter. He
has oaken tubs, with heads at each end.
They are Ii inches in diameter at the top
8 inches at the bottom and 10 inches high.
In packing, a cambria bag is made to fit
the tub. The butter is packed in the tub
as it stands on the small end-the sack
being long enough to extend above the
edges of the tub-and is pressed down
firmly until within an inch and n half of
the top, when circular cloth is laid over
it, tie edges of the sack turned over that,
and layer of fine salt placed on it. The
head is now put in its place, the tub turn
ed up, and the butter in the sack, of course,
falling down to the bottom, leaves a space
all around il which is filed with brine
poured through hole in the small end.
When full, the hole is corked up tight.
The butter floats in the brine and Is effect
ually prescribed from the air, and will keep
for an almost indefinite period.

had told him, Christmas morning,
As he sat upon my knee,
Holding fast his little stockings,
Stuffed as full as full could be,
And attentive listening to me,
With face dcmure and mild,
That old Santa Claus who filed them.
Did not love naughty child.
"But well be good, won't we, moder?'
And from OFF my lap he slid,
Digging deep among the goodies
In his crimson stockings hid

Where tempting goblet stood,
Brimming high with dainty cgg-nog,
Sent me by neighbor good.

Gathering up his precious store
He had busily been pouring
In his tiny pinafore,
With a generous look that sbamcd me,
Sprang he from the carpet bright,
Showing by his mien indignant,
All baby sense of right.
Come back, Harvey - called he, loudly
As he held his apron white

But the door was fastened tight;
So he stood, abashed and silent,
In the centre of the floor,
With defeated look alternate
Bent on nae and on the door.
Then, AZ by some sudden impulse,
Quickly ran he 10 the fire,
And while eagerly his bright eyes
Watch d the flames go high and higher
In brave, clear key he shouted
Like some lordly little elf

And I straightway called poor Harvey,

And they gsmpolled meath the live oaks

In my dim, Rre-lighted chamber,
Harvey purred beneath my chair,
And my play-worn boy beside me,

How to Make Times Easy.

The people in this section of
the country, and, indeed, through
out the South, are complaining of
the scarcity of money, and with
a great deal of truth. The great
mass Of the farmers and laborine
men feel the absence of a flush
OF money more keenly than any
one else. But how few of them
ever think of the causes that pro.
duce what they call slight times.
The reason seems plain, and one
who stops TO investigate will need
no spectacles to see it, for it looms
up like some distant mountain
toward the deep blue sky. We
rely upon other sections too much
Tor our wants; we send our money
away, to be used to keep an iron
heel upen our neeks. Instead of
keeping it at home, by patronlz-
ing and building up institutions
of our own, we send our products
manufacturing materially abroad
and buy it back at three times
what we realized from it. Then
again, if we want a bolt of do
mestic, or a needle, a. threshing
machine, or a shoe peg, a wagon
or a wheel barrow, a steam engine
or paper of carpet tacks, or any
thing else, we send North to get
them, while we have manufactures.
springing up among us, struggling
for a time against the tide, and
finally dying for wantof patronage.
We are glad to see a disposition
on the part of our people-some
of them at .least-to remedy this
evil, by buying what they need at
home. If we wish or ever ex-!
pect to become rich and have
money we must buy of our own
merchants, patronize our own
manufactures, sustain our own
institutions, and let them build our
country up, and make US rich and
money plenty and give us a mar
ket at home for the products Ct !,

Fine-StOck.

4 "Maury county has some Of
the most enterprising farmers in
the State of Tennessee. They are
continuallyintrodueing new crops,
fine horses, cattle, sheep and hogs.
Captain Thomas Gibbs, formerly
a prominent wholesale merchant
of Nashville, has assumed control
: of his beautiful and excellent farm,
near Spring Hill, and commences
his administration by buying one
Of the finestthoroughbred trotting
stations (Rattler) ever brought to
Tennessee. Mr.. w. B. Greenlaw,
formerly of Memphis, has also
moved to the same neighborhood,
and proposes giving his entire at
tention, almost, to raising pure
Berkshire hogs. He contemplates
purchasing "1'ippecanoe," who has
taken premiums at nearly all the
Fairs in the South. Mr.. Grafton,
of Spring Hill, has several fine
Berkshires, imported from Canada.
General R. S. Ewell has seven
teen hundred sheep, and is COM
PEELED 20 keep two men con.inu-
ally employed to protect them
theprowling dogsof the neigh
borhood." J..
We quote this paragraph from
the Nashville Banner for the in
formation and encouragement of
Lincoln county farmers. Maury
county is the richest in the State.
Her farm lands are held at higher
prices. They see the most money
in fine stock. If it pays them,
with land at 500 an acre, to raise
sheep, Berkshire hogs and trotting
horses, certainly it will-pay here
where land of almost equal value
may be had for one fifth that price.
