LAKE COUNTY
Its Soil, Productions and PsOpIs-Ths
Growing Crop.

/. From Al Occasional Correspondent
TProNVILLE, August 3.--Lake
county has existed in the records OF
the State less than one year, having,
ov a special clause in the new Consti-
t1tiOn and an act of the Legislature,
beeu taken from the county OF Oblon-
we have but small territory, II is
tr1Ie- but our bounds, limited as they
are. are the most fertile, most deslra-
ble portion OF the State. on. western
boundary IL washed, the Whole length,
bv the great Mississippi, On whose
bosom Is borne the products OF the
whole country, and Reel Foot lake IS
our eastern boundary, which abounds
with the finest fish and fowls in great
abundance. The inhabitants are IN
dustriOus, peaceable, and, as a WHOLE
are In q prosperous condition..
When the great internal war closed,
i was supposed that ten yeeIs would
aot set this country In as gOod condi-
eiO1 as at the commencement; but
6he peOnle. once cut loose from the
thraldom Of war, yet oppressed by the
calling yoke OF oppression and tyran-
1y, have gone to work en- nltLSSe, and
bY a long pull, 8 strong ptlll, and
puli ali together, have succeeded be-
yond the most sanguine expectations.
Considering the area of land in cnlti-
Vstion, we can compete with any pOT-
fion OF the United States in producing
corn and. in fact, all kinds Of grain,
grass and vegetables that arc adapted
10 this climate, and we can nllse from
three to five hundred pounds Of lint
cotton per acre. Pork and beef are
produced in great abundance for the
number Of producers.
The present growing crop u as nne
"a U,Ss ever known here, and, with 8
lew mare rains, will mature tie largest
amount OF corn that was ever grown
in aRfadgid Bend, % now Lake county.
The cotton crop, though Bman ia
quantity, bids fair 10 be good yield.
Aad now that the summers work is
done. the citizens are enjoying the
rest time in amusements, such as Der
becues, dances, ETC., while '.he rellg-
iOus part is engaged holding pro-
traeted meetings.
Next Monday our Circuit Court VIII
meet at Tiptonville, as also t be Ooun-
ty Court.

THE EXPLOSION.
. Examination Of Witnesses Statistics from
the Treasury Department.

6 NEW YORK, August Sat this
mornings Investigation into the cause
OF the Westfeld explosion, David
V Anderson, practical engineer, testi.
? fed that fifty pounds of steam would
not have sundered the boiler.
/ Levi F. Smiths testimony created
amusement. He believed the exple.
sion was caused by igniting gases in
the boiler. He believes steam is gas.
When asked II there was other gas in
the boiler, he answered that it might
have been oxygen.
George Elassers and Otto Grummet,
wounded by the explosion, died this
morning, making the total number OF
odeaths ninety-six.
Mechanics and Engineering Institute
at Hoboken, accounted for the eXplOs-
ion by internal growing, caused by
the oxydation OF the sheet.
Robert Crassnu, fireman who
escaped, testified that they tried the
water cocks and found them all right,
the shut furnace door fire being an
ordinary one, when he noticed steam
bursting out, and he ran for life. The
witness was here rigidly cross exam
ined, with a view to discovering
whether any drink was kept on board
for the use of himself and the
crew. He added that lager beer men
coming across on the ferryboat with
loads of beer would sometimes tap a
kep for themselves. They would Oc-
casionally give some to the crew.
Charles w. Copeland stated that he
was mechanical engineer. He said
that to his mind the cause of the ex-
plosiOn was plain; in fact, his impress
sion was that it was not an explosion
at all, from the examination he had
made of the boiler. The pressure
was too much for the strength of the
boiler. He stated that the explosion
originated in the cracks. The In
spector could not get st the crack on
the lower side of the boiler, and that
on the other side was fully hid from
his observation during his inspection.
The witness said he was acquainted
with Matthews for thirty years. He
knew him to be an excellent me-
chanic and expert engineer.
Adjourned till Monday.
