Forcing a Daughter to Marry
Her Escape and Adventures.

+ Irene Robinson a bright looking
young woman, age nineteen, left her
home in Peoria, Ill.,, two years ago,
because her parents wished her to
marry a man old enough to be her
father, and for whom she entertained
a decided dislike. To guard against
detection, she adopted tue habit of a
boy, and, with her hair cut short,
readily passed for a boy Of fifteen or
sixteen. She first went to Chicago,
and there obtained work as a team
ster, passing under the name of Will
liam Franks. She was suspected OF
being girl, but denied it, and left
Chicago through fear of being de.
tected and sent home. She worked
at various places as farm laborer,
but seldom stayed long at one place.
The prying eyes of women are al
most always the first to detect the
imposture. After various adventures
she found herself in Troy, a few days
ago, and engaged as deck hand on a
canal boat, commanded by captain
Cabineau, and bound for this city,
On the way here the captains wife
accused her Of being girl, and she
finally confessed that such was the
fact. By advice of Mrs. Cabineau,
she went to the police station to ask
aid of the authorities to enable her
to reach her home. She is tired oi
her rough life, and wishes to see her
relatives, of whom she has heard
nothing since leaving home: Hel
rough, horny hands and sun-burned m
face bear witness to her life Of toiI
and exposure. Her garb consists O
coat, much the worse for wear AM
torn in several places, patched pan
falcons, rough woolen shirt, pail
! of heavy boots. anda battered BLACK

Crops in East Tennessee.

We talked with several persons among the
great crowd which was IN town yesterday, at
tending the annual meeting of the stockholders
OF the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
| Railroad, and learned the following facts:
VIM. Brown, from the upper end OF Greene
county, says corn will not make one-naIi d crop
| There is some good corn on river 6ottoms' Oth-
er crops are light Rain is needed paaly now
The sorghum crop is fair, ana IS no" Delng
made up. A moderate crop of wheat will be
sown.
NJ C. Hunter. on Chucky River Washington
/ county. saws corn on bottoms is an average
/ crop. More than an average crop of wheat will
be sown. Sorghum is being made up, but is of
! a poor quality Turnips are poor-late Irish
potatoes almost a failure-sweet potatoes fail
| ure His Norway oats this year averaged thirty
bushels TO the acre--likes them we'll
Gaines Mcmillan, of McMillan's Station, in
this county, says corn is not more than one-half
q crop. The potato crop is almost an entire
failure. Not much wheat will be sown as seed
is scarce. What little may be sown will be put
in corn ground, as fallow ground is too dry to
be broken up.
Jacob Dick, one of the best farmers in Jefer
son county, says corn will not be half a crop.
vegetables are an entire failure-the like was
never known before. What little sorghum has
been raised is poor. He does not think an av-
erage crop of wheat will be sown. He will fat
ten Al hogs on old corn. The sour mastis good.
Mr.. Dick raised this year, 573 bushels of wheat
was raised by any other man in Jefferson county.
James Gamble, Hiwasse river, 3 miles north
of Benton, Polk county, says corn is better
than near observation-disclosures as good as uusal
-uplands two-thirds crop. Sweet potatoes
are good, Irish potatoes pretty good About
same amount Of wheat will be sown this year as
was sown last year
David Droke, Union Depot, Sullivan county,
says corn is not half crop-wheat not more
than half crop-sorghum bad
w. H. Hope, Clinch river, Loudon county,
says corn is an average crop on bottom lands.
Uplands will produce from one-half to two
thirds crop. Little sorghum raised, but that
little looking well since the late rains Poor
stand for turnipS. Not an average crop of
wheat will be sown this year on account Of the
scarcity of seed.
Mr.. Triplitt, five miles south of Cleveland
Bradley county, says corn is only about one
half crop. Potatoes are pretty good. Seed is |
so scarce that not much wheat will be sown.
George Smith, of Whitesburg. Hamblen coun-
ty, says corn is light, and not moro than half
crop. A good deal of sorghum is being raised, |
but it is not nearly half crop. Other crops arc

TO school commissioners.

We have examined school desk manufac-
tured by Mr., j. II. Renshaw, which is best
adapted for the purpose of any we have yet
and is made of black walnut This style of desk
is now in use in the free schools established in
this city, and from its low price-only $3.50
cOmmends itself to the favorable consideration
of school commissioners in this and neighboring
counties. 1t differs but slightly from the desk
used in Chattanooga, which cost $3.50 each at
wholesale, and is as neat and durable, These
desks are made of cherry and ash as we'll as
