In time of war, military titles are well enough,
but in clubbing man captain" major"

of the Bristol Nclcs, Mr. Ebert Fowler, has
become digusted and gives nearly quarter of

he is addressed, and threatens to sue any man
who addresses him that way. DIR. Bagby has

the army of officers to peace footing" that
editor will not have lived in vain.

Rains.

From different points in the country we learn
that good rains have fallen. In many sections
they were very much needed. The corn was
twisting up, and prospects for a good crop were
poor With some farmers wheat and oats hav
ing failed, their only dependence was in corn,
and we are glad to see the season turning out so
favorable in their case. If rains continue to fall
so favorably as at present farmers will gather a
big crop of corn and all will be well.

creased in severity after passing the river into
Blount county. The Doaks and Praters, good
farmers of that county, were badly damaged.
In the ncghborhood Of J. Edmondson and Jno.
Moore, the damage was very great. The roads
were completely blocked up by fallen trees so
that travel was impossible. Mr.. Moore's apple
and peach trees were all blown down, and his
fine orchard entirely destroyed. Our inform
ant learned that in n deep hollow near Mr..
Moore's it was as dark as night when the storm
cloudspassed over.
The storm continued down toward the noun
tains, doing considerable damage at Glover
Hill aud Frendsvillc. A tree was blown
against Hackbcrry's mill near Clover Hill, and

Turning Out Horses to Grass.

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Times writes as follows on this subject:
When horses have suffered in their work
from anything of the nature of strain OF
the sinews or their ligaments, or when
their legs are very much the worse for
wear, they should be allowed no exercise
but such as they can get in loose box:
they should be treated as man would be
who had sprained his ankle and must be
confined to a sofa. On the other hand,
have seen horses which were good on their
legs, but stale, groggy, and tucked up from
hard work, and dry and exciting food, I'M
prove as if by magic when turned out 10
grass on the following plan: have housed
them during the daytime in well-ven-
tilated dwelling, darkened so as to exclude
the sun and flies, giving them about peck
of grain daily, with bran and clover chafi;
they have then been turned out at night in
pasture inMAieh there was III abundance
of grass. Under these circumstances they
are never tormented by flies; when they
are out all is cool and quiet, the long grass
saturated with dew supplies an admirable,
cool, refrigerating poultice to their legs
and feet, and the grass seems TO plump up
their bodies without much interfering with
their condition fer work. l have taken
horses treated in this way as late as Sep
TENDER, and had them in very fair order for
work by the commencement OF the hunt
ing season. / am aware that this system
will not suit all horses; small barreled,
washy horses are too much purged Dy
