COLD SAILING.-A little hooker, the -
loaded with wood for Racine anchored off the
harbor at that place last Monday morning,
expecting the tug to come out and tow them
in. In some manner the cable parted, and
not being able to make that harbor she start
ed for this place. The stove had become
broken, and the little crew of captain and
one man were nigh frozen when they reached
this port The captain was helpless from
cold, and the sailor just mgnaged to get on
the dock when he fell down completely be-
numbed with the cold. He was seen by some
men about the harbor, and the two were i'm
mediately brought to a warm place and
thawed OUT. I" A life on the ocean wave"

"Why, sisters got trunk full of 'em up

bushes into the cheeks of my companion
It began to be very apparent to me that I
must be very guarded in what said, lest the
boy might slip in his remarks at nncalled for
places in fact, turned my conversation to
HIM, and told him he ought to go home with
me, and see what nice chickens we had in the
country. Unluckily I mentioned yoke of
calves my brother owned The word calves

The Murfreesboro Ne1Os receives the
most discOuraging accounts in relation to

is proving disastrous TO crops, and the
wheat it is thought will be an entire
failure, great many notreslizing enough
to pay for the seed sown.

The Weather and FrOsG-CrOp Pros.
poets.
From the Paris Intenigencer, May l1th.
Since our last issue the weather has
continued unfaVOrable to crops, with
superabundance of rain and with all
very cool.
On Sunday morning last there was a
very light frost, but we hsve heard of no
damage from it yet The weather is still
threatening cloudy, with some rain.
The prospects for corn, are, so far as
we are able to learn, good the stand is
better than usual, and large number of
acres planted.
Less cotton will be planted than usual,
and we do hope the day is near when
there will be no cotton planted in Henry
county, beyond very small patches for
home consumption.
Complaints still come from every sec
ton of the tobacco region, of the depre.
dations of the bug or fly, as these little
depredators are sometimes called, and in
our own county we hear of some destruc-
ton by these insects.
Rust in the wheat is still spreading, and
we think it beyond doubt that the wheat
crop in this county will fall below an
average; the only compensation to our
people, will be in the increase of acreage.
in this county, over the past few years.
There is one decided move in the right
direction among our farmers, very no.
ticeable, that IS in the extension of mead
ow grasses, and the large amoun5 of
clover shown the past season. This
county is capable of raising, for export,
80, 900 bales of hay, of the finest quality,
leaving an abundant supply at home for
all our home purposes, and should be
made at low figures, to yield to this
county $l20, 900 net profits above what it
now realizes from our staples.
The fruit crop is one of the finest, in
prospect, we have had for several years.
This county is without doubt, admirably
adapted to fruit growing, which might be
made very remunerative to those engag-
ing in it.

CLOSE OF AN EvESrEUL wEEK.s

aF
Occasions Long 10 be Rem rnbered.
The week which closed last night was
an eventual one in the history of Nashville
and crowded with inteEes ing occasions
that viii not soon be forgotten. The,
opening Of the Exposition Building on
Monday, the first one of the kind ever
held IN Nashville, marked an epoch in our
history and foreshadOTs the future 'front.'
rank our city will take in commercial busi-
ness and industrial advancement. Ii lis an
event pregnant with the most astonishing
results. No occasion has ever occurred
in our city possessing wider or deeper
significance, and ITS important cohsequen-
ce5 are full well appreciated by our people.
Another event and one Of great iaterest
was the meeting On Monday in annual
conclaye Of the Knights TenplAr, whose
session was an interesting one and well
attended The meeting Of the Bish-
ops Of the Methodist Episcopal Church
was also held, and their labors
brought to close. It was a G5avOoation
of as able, renowned and dignifsd Chris
tian gentlemen as are ever met with any
whore. The Sabbath-school Convention
Of the Methodist Church has been also
holding its deliberations for soms days,
which are Of the most interesting char-
scteT. Then, too, sthe spring races closed
yesterday evening. Tbs meeting of the
Blood Horse Association was very sue
cessful one. In the way of smusemsnts
We have had Blind Pom and the Oratorio
Of AthsIie. All in all, the week has been
one of extraordinary aterest. Oar CITY
has been crowded with strangers and Wis
itoTs Yet the best of order has prevailed.
and no outbreaks or disturbances WORTHY
of note havs Occurred. Our streets aud.
city have presented the appearances bv
day and by night Of grand holiday and
of general enjoyment. It may be some
time before we have such another week of
stirring and local interest.
