This year has been prolific of culamitos
that have sorcly tried poor humanity. Disas.
ter has followed close upon the heels Of dis.
aster The elements hive played sad havoc
with mems lives and property, not to speak
of the human holocaust sacrificed to the do.
vouring monster, War, aud of other dire
mishaps on sea and land. Wo have had
mournful tdings Of dcath.tiing volcanoes
and equally destructive tidal waves in remote
parts Of the world, of tire ravnges of tho
famine In Persia and the inroads of tho ohol
era il Northern Europe. But a day. or two
ago we were informed that the blight had
ruined'the potato crop in Ireland, report
which, however, we are glad to hear proves
to have been exaggerated And now, az if
there were not already misery enough in the
world, there comes special despatch from
our correspondent ut the capital Of Hungary
adding another mito to the sum total of hu
man misfortune. Floods nnd hail storms
have ruined the fertile fields Of Southern
Hungary. One third of tho district at Ba
nat, tho grnnary of the Austrian empire is
unders water. These lands Ind in former
timcs been waste marshes They were re
claitned by the construction of dams under
the reign of the Empress Maria Theresa, and
mado the most fertile fields Of hungary
But the country has returned to its original

Inhabitants Here tho government may be
said to have aided the elements in their
work of destruction. We might 60 further
and say that bnd improviacnt governments
have caused nearly all the calanities we lnvo
mentioned. Their first care is not to alevi
ate the suifcrln%s of the people but to keep
what they consider the skeletons in the clos
ct perfectly secret from the rest of the world
In the teeth Of all authentic reports about
the famine in Persia the representative of
that country i'll London but recently denied
the several accounts aud made light of the
calamity, thus delaying the aid which might
otherwise have been Immediately Dispatched
to that famine and rcstilrncc stricken people

ICOMMUNICATED.1

WAYNEsBoRo, Tenn, Feb. 9th, 1870.
MIR. EDITCR:-SOme weeks since an
article appeared in your paper in rela-
ton to Rev w. w. Kimbro, the great
deer hunter of Wayne county, stating
the number of deer by him slain during
the year 1870. Now / am a neighbor,
and intimate friend of Mr.. kimbrO, and
wish to make one correction, and a few
additional statements L assure you are
correct. During the year 1870 he .consti-
tuted three churches, with a member
ship of about 260; preached over $50 SER
mons; was the regular pastor of four
churches. He has not been known to
spend an idle day, when well, in six
years. If he is not preaching he is
among the high hills with his trusty
rifle. The number of deer by him killed
each year, for the last seven years has
never been less than sixty-five. In the
year 1870 he killed So deer, and sold VEN
ison hams and deer skins to the value of
$50. Since 1865 he has paid for a small
farm, valued at $1,000, by selling game.
He has very little education, but has
natural elOquence and use of language
that would surprise our most eminent
divines. Rev. Mr.. Kimbro has for a
great many years been member of the
Missionary Baptist church, and is high
ly esteemed by all who know Lin, and
has probably done more for the cause of
religion than any other man that ever
was in this county. Yours Truly,
NERITAS

COMMUNICATED.


1t is a well settled principle that any
community or family that buys more
thar they sell, must end in poverty.
The largest purse will be drained at last.
In this article desire to call the atten-
ton of the farmers of Maury county to
the importance of saving their own clo-
yer seed. | have taken some pains to
ascertain the yield per acre, AMI the
mode of preparing it for the market. In
Pennsylvania and Ohio clover yields
from one and halt to five bushels per
acre, the average yield being about two
and half bushels per acre. Middle
land in the world. The first crop should
be cut for hay, and the yield will be, on
fair land and good stand, from one and
a half to two and a half tons of hay,
worth to the farmer AZ home from SO to
$50 per acre. All stock should be kept
Off of the clover in the Spring, so that the
hay crop may be cut as early as pOsSi-
BILE, so that the second crop THAT is the
seed crop may have the benefit of the
June rains to push it forward. When
the seed are ripe, the farmers should use a
good clover seed gatherer. Dismuke's
patent, Tennessee invention, will gath
er from 10 to II acres per day. 1t gath>
ers the cloverheads only, leaving all the
lOuucT lOT dll SIdLlhS, VI uiduuic, DIS
the interests of the planter may deter
mine. a clover gatherer will cost about
500, and good huiler that will clean,
ready for market, % or 30 bushels per
day, will cost between $500 and $500
But one huller will answer for many
neighbors. Now stop and add up: The
hay is worth, on an average, to the plan
ter, especially if he carefully save the
manure, $50 per acre. The seed at an
average yield of y blu. per acre, is worth
$50 more. The Fall pasturage, and tie
increased fertility of the land, is worth
the entire cost of saving both the hay,
and seed crop. If this be true, then the
planters nett profit is $50 per acre. 1t
requires hands but few weeks during
the year, to manage this crop. The hay
should be fed on the land, and sent to
market in the shape of flesh. 1t re-
quires but few hands to attend to the
stock; the land is improved very rapidly;
the country is saved many Thousand
dollars, annually sent North for seed.
Try it, farmers OF Middle Tennessee, and
i'm a few years this section will be large
ly exporting clover seed, as well as live
stock of every description.
Yours Truly,
MONTGOMERY.
