KNOXVILLE, TENN TUESDAY MORNING JANUARY 81, 1871

lar in Its outline, and is estimated to con-
tain about {. 900 acres of land, exclusive OF
the slopes of the mountain which entirely
surround 1t, rising from 400 to 6OOfeet above
| Its fruitful bosom. Its present population
is about 300, although it is capable of sus-
tanning ten times that number. Several
gaps afford comparatively easy access in
different directions. The soil is rich al
luvial deposit resting on subsoil of yell
low clay, and annually enriched by the
washings from the adjacent mountain
slopes, which are very heavily timbered,
especially when sloping northward It
produces abundantly and is easily worked,
and, as an evidence of its adaptability to
the grasses, ] need only repeat the state
ment ofa perfectly reliable gentleman now
living there, that on meadow seeded in
1885 and mcwn annually since, except
during the war when it was pastured, he
cut last season three tons of hay to theacre,
without any manurial application what
ever. Apple trees planted by the early set
tiers are still vigorous and productive, and
I have the statement well authenticated
that single specimens have in single year
produced, by actual measurement, 100
bushels of fruit. Some remarkable speci-
mems Of forest trees are also found on the
slopes of the mountain. / myself have
measured black walnut which, four feet
from the ground, was Is feet 6 inches in
circumference.
The Cove is abundantly supplied with
springs, some OF which are in themselves
of volume sufficient to run machinery, and
these combining form Cove Creek one of
the best and most reliable .water-powers in
the county. A singular feature of this
stream is that it runs directly into the
mountain, finding an outlet several miles
distant in the head of Seauatchie Valley.
Cove lands rate from SO to $50 per acre,
with limited amount offering.
Several enterprising and intelligent
Northern families have already located
here, who are mostly engaged in agricul-
tural pursuits; and one of them can truth
fully boast of one of the finest herbs of
Devon cattle in the State. Few spots of
the same limited area combine greater or
more numerous advantages, and the lover
of nature would never weary Of viewing
the many objects of interest, to which my
space precludes even an allusion.

Elephant on Toast as a Paris Luxury.

From Paris Letter. d. t~
We have Just Killed Castor and PolluX,
the two elephants lately installed at the
Jardin d d'Acclimation, and upon the backs
of which, in the happier times, so many
children of all ages and sexes used TO take
a ride in the Bois de Boulogne. The de-
scription which the Gaulois gives of their
slaughter is in the highest degree epic. 1t
was anticipated that, following the exam
pie of their wild brethren, whose fury
when wounded is terrible, Castor and Pol
lux, if not instantly killed, would burst
loose from their prison house, and scatter
destruction far and wide. But the poor
beasts showed no more fight than an ex-
piring sheep. Pollux was the first to fall,
done to death by an explosive bullet. the
triumph of the great gunmaker's NJ. De-
vism's) skill. The ball struck behind the
right shoulder, and busting internally,
producing terrible hemorrhage in the
bowels. ~
The huge beasts bore the wound patient
ly, and after flooding the cage with blood,
expired without struggle. Castor was
slain by young Englishman, Mr.. Milne
Edwards, who aimed at the head in pre-
ference to the heart, The first ball struck
on the right temple, and Castor, after
shrill cry of surprise and pain, sank upon
his knees. The second bullet struck him
in the centre of the little hollow cavern,
sunk into the forehead, and upon receiving
the third he fell dead instantly. Tonight
the restaurant at Peters In the Passage
des Princes, is crowded with French con-
son1nsoteurs, eager to tase the flesh of q
new animal have just met an English
friend who dined there, and who says that
eaten with, or rather concealed by sauce
Hodere. Castor was delicious. 4 Ia
sauce lfodere" says the old French pro-
verb, ''On anGngcr0u SOe grand pcrc."
"But," says the GauLois, castor and
Pollux were only six years old, and, mas
much as the elephant lives a hundred
years and more, they must be regarded as
babies.p 40

AN EXTRAORDINARY REPORT.
Revolution in the Erie Directory.

From the New York STANDARD.
A week ago rumOrs were current that a
radical change was about to be effected IN
the personal conduct of the Erie railway by
the transfer of its control to Mr.. Wander
bilt. Numerous inquiries were subsequently
made by reporters and others of the officers
of the road, who positively denied that
there was any basis for the statements.
Last evening, however, member OF the
press saw a gentleman who holds prOml-
nent position in the Erie railway office, who
stated to him unreservedly and in the most
positive terms that a radical change is about
TO be made in the management OF the Erie
road. That a number of railroad magnates
now in this city have combined for this pur-
pose, and for total reorganization of the
Erie directory He said that while many
people hesitate to believe that Mr.. Wander
bilt has been negotiating with Messrs. Fisk
and Gould for the control of the Erie road,
it is a good argument that had Mr.. Wander
bilt not been interested in the movement he
would not have allowed his name to be used
by speculators in Erle stocks.
Prominent officers of the great trunk
lines are now in this city, and have held
several secret conferences within the past
few days at the Grand Opera House. At
these meetings Messrs. Sche1l, Clark and
others of the Vanderbilt party were pres
ent, and the gentleman who gives this in
formation states that he is good authority
for saying that, finding American credit
abroad to be seriously affected by the differ
ences between the Erie management and
the foreign owners of Erie shares, a number
of capitalists and railroad men set to work
as mediators, and, after due consideration,
finally arranged basis upon which both
parties to the war have agreed to cease hos
tilities.
The impending change in the Erie direct
ory and the sudden restoration and contid-
ence in it's securities it is claimed are the
first good results of this arrangement. An
extraordinary meeting of the Erie directory
will be held IN a few days. when report of
a committee on investigation, recently ap-
pointed, will be submitted, and the resigna-
tion of three, if not more of the present
directory offered.
