The Crops.

From the countries beyond the sea
there are thick coming reports of serious
deficiencies in this years crops The
yield in wheat is far below the aver
age in England; the staple crop of Ire
land has been touched By blight, and
the yield of the continental countries
though large will by no means supply
the deficiency in the general supply. In
but one of the Danubian provinces will
there be full crop; in Hungary the
yield falls short; in Southern Russia the
ungathered crops were injured by the
August storms, and the vast quantities
of wheat in store at Odessa were seri-
ously damaged by water. The grain crop
in this country, on the contrary, is re-
ported "large;" -above the average, it is
said, of thelast ten years.

NEWSPAPER JUBILEE.-Very few
papers, religious or secular, now pub
lished, have been in existence more than
a quarter of century but the New
York Observer announces that it will
enter upon its 6ftieth year in the be
ginning of 1872. 1t was established as
a religious paper; giving, also. the most
important secular LEWIS and it has been
one of the ablest, and at the same time,
one of the most successful journals in the
country.
The Publishers announce for the com
ing year, as free gift to each of their
subscribers, a New Year Book; contain
ing a vast amount of information in re
gard to Church and State. and all impor-
tant business affairs, real encyclopedia,
such as any intelligent person wishes to
have always at hand. Specimens copies
of the paper and Prospectus Of the Year
Book, sent free to all who will apply.
New Subscribers will receive the paper
free until January 1st.

Trust what Time has sane
toned

Inc imthat the voice of the people is
the voice Of the divinity, may in some cases,
be open to doubt, but the testimony of
honest una enlightened witnesses extend
ing through series of years, and all to
the same parport, is worthy of credence,
admits o' no question. Upon such Iesti
mony the reputation of Hostetter's Stomach
oltters az an antidote and cure for many
ailments 10 based. During the twenty
years mat 1t has been before the world, in
numeraois Preparations intended to COM
pete wlth II, have gone up like rockets and
come uoSh the e1tinguished sticks. Mean
"hiie 'ne progress of that Incompatible
tonic mas been swift and steady-always
upward and onward like the eagles flight
It's introduction produced a revolution in
therapeutics, and it proved to be one of
those sanitary revolutions that cannot go
backwards To-day HOstetter's Bitters is
one OF the most popular remedies in chris
tendon and commands a larger sale than
any other medicinal preparation, domestic
or imported, on this side of the Atlantic.
rs cure Tor dyspepsia, bilious disorders,
nervous affections, general de bility, and as
preventive of epidemic fevers, il takes
precedence of every other remedy. This
fact should teach the ambitious country
dealers Who endeavor TO foist their local
abortions on the public in its stead, how
futile their small attempts to caiOle the
community must necessary be. Where the
game hsh have failed there is no chance for

The Drouil, in the west.

We learn that for two monts past,
some of the farmers of Illinois have been
feeding corn to their cattle. Others who
did not care to feed their corn so early
in the season, have been driven to the
alternative of throwing their lean and
famished kline upon the market. The
drouth has not only parched their grasses,
but has cut short their supplies of water
drying up streams which have never
ceased to flow within the memory of the
oldest inhabitants.

OUR RAILROAD.
New wharf TO be BuIlt-Large
Steam EIev@fOr to be Erected
at Hick man.

On our first page we publish the pro
ceedings of the annual meeting of thu
Stock holders of the Nashville anC
Northwestern Railroad, and call especia
attention to the terms upon which tn,
sale of the road to the Nashville and
Chattanooga Company ia consented to
The resolution as adopted we're offered
by Capt. II. A. Tyler, the representa-
tive of the City of Hickman, and em
body rs a condition of sale that the
purchasers twill perpetually run and
operate said road upon the present line
and every part thereof from the City OF
Hickman, in the State of Kentucky, to
the City of Nashville, State of Teunes
see, and that "said provisions be incor
porated in the contract of sale as well as
the DEGREES. +" These conditions were a,
cepted on the part of the purchasers. If,
therefore, there are any who have enter
tanned fears or opinions, that the termi-
nus or running of this road, would in
any event be changed, they will now be
dispelled.
The Chattanooga Company, the pres
emit purchasers, manifest an earnest de
termination to comply with the terms of
the sale, and as evidence Of earuestness
have announced their intention to com
mence Immediately the construction of a
new wharf, or breakwater to protect the
bank, aud also to erect forthwith large
steam elevator for the transfer of freights
at this point.
% Tuesday and Wednesday last, Chief
Engineer Morris, General Agent Lands,
and Assistant Engineer Hellner, were
engaged in making the preliminary sur
vey and estimates, which we understand,
were as satisfactory as expected.
The final, permanent settlement of
our Railroad relation, together with the
contemplated improvements on our river
front proposed by the company, gives a
decided healthy tone to the future OF
Hick man. We regard the present at
titude as a direct assurance of the ex-
tention of branch of the Iron Noun
tain to this place, and our opinion is sus-
tanned by that of leading Railroad men.
This, therefore, will bring Hickman
again into the railroad world and give
US chance to bid for additional roads
The different railroads now being built.
and projected, will of course seek their
most profitable connections, and from
our present prospects we can pre-
sent Inducements offered but by
few points. We need a railroad South,
through Obion and Dyer counties, and
must have it; and to this view We next
direct the attention of our enterprising
citizens Hereafter, we shall write more
1n these points.

Discovery of Conee.

| Toward the middle of the fifteenth
century. poor Arab was travelling
through Abyssinia, and, finding himself
weak and weary from fatigue. he stop
ped near grove. Then being in want
OF fuel to cook his rice, he cut down a
tree which happened TO be covered with
dried berries. His meal being cooked
and eaten, the traveller discovered that
the half. burned berries were very fra
grant. He collected a number of these,
and, on crushing them with a stone, he
found that their aroma increased to a
great extent While wondering at this
be accidentally let fall the substance in
can which contained hie scanty supply
of water. Lo, what miracle the al.
most putrid liquid was instantly purifi
ed. He brought it to his lips; it was
fresh, agreeable; and in a moment after
the traveller had so far recovered his
strength and energy as TO be able to re
sumo his journey. The lucky Arab
gathered as many berries as he could,
and having arrived at Arden, in Arabia,
he informed the Mufti of his discovery.
That worthy divine was an inveterate
opium smoker, who bad been suffering
for years from the influence of that
poisonous drug He tried an infusion
Of the roasted berries, aud was so de
