people are very much encouraged BY The
prospect Of Che Memphis and p ducaf
Railroad, which has been located through
thar town. They manifested their enter
prise by their hberality In voting atid sub
scTfblng 500, 090 to The road.
While ehe people OF this section are wide
awake to their financial interests, they have
not lost sight ofthose things that tend to
make life pleasant and cheerful. PieRics,
barbecues, and celebrations have been en-
gazing the attention Of our people TO some
extent for the past two or three months.
= Your correspondent, in company with
friend, visited 0bion county to attend a
Sabbath school celebration at Cloverdale
Academy, on Saturday, the 10th instant.
A procession was formed of the Cloverdale
and Pleasant Valley Sabbath schools, and
marched to the grove, where q crowd OF
seven or eight hundred People bad assem-
bled. DR.. Vance was then introduced by
superintendent E. w. Jarrelb and enter
t2ined the audience with an eloquent adj
dress on the "Benefit of Sabbath Schools"
A procession was again formed and we
moved to the table, where a sImptuous
dinner had been prepared. In the after
noon, f. n. Taught delivered an address
on "The History and Progress Of Sabbath
Schools" Also, w. c. Dickey delivered
short address. The exercises throughout
The day were enlivened by vocal and instru-
mental music. They have an interesting
Sabbath school at Cloverdale, and under
charge Of 80 excellent Superintendent as
Mr.. farrell, it bids fair for continued sue
cess.
Corn and cotton crops are fourishing in
Obion, though they have been having too
much rain of late, The August election
parsed off quietly, notwithstanding con-
siderable under current of excitement pre-
'ailed. The people are very much en-
outraged by the hope of soon having rail-
Dad through their county. That will give
new impetus to industry, and the county,
ong considered "wild Western land"
will bloom and blossom as the rose, and
re long be considered the ''garden spot of |
tennessee" The citizens are tired Of cor |
upton in politics and viii, therefore, loom |
p large majority for Greeley and Brown

A SNAKE STORY.

The Western Star, Lebanon, O., tells
the following pretty tough story:
"For many years two batrachian reptiles
of the genus bVyo Uulgaris, or in other
words, two large gray toads, have made the
garden Of Mr.. Ritchey their habitation,
where they made themselves generally
useful by destroying noxious insects. They
have become in the fullest sense demesti-
Gated, and Mr.. Ritchey facetiously calls
them his pets. Some days ago one of
them was noticed to approach the house
and take position near the door, evidently
terrified. His toadship had scarcely Quoted
himself before a large black snake, between
three and four feet IN length, came slowly
up, and after getting within suitable
distance for its purpose, stopped and erect
ed its head. When half its body was erect
ed it commenced to draw nigh the toad by
imperceptible degrees, all the time EXERT ng
the fascination of its eyes on its intended
victim. Mr.. r. saw the toad was charmed,
and that its minutes were numbered un-
less an effort was made to destroy the
charDer. Selling hoe, he boldly ap-
preached the snake, which, instead Of run
ming, transferred its attention to him, and
for moment Mr.. L. realized what it was
to be under the influence of a serpent's
eye. The attempt to charm him, however,
was futile, and getting within striking dis
lance, he gave vigorous blow and missed
his aim. The snake never moved, but
stood with half length perfectly erect.
The next blow was unerring, and it sever
ed the body midway between the head
and the ground, the part to which the
head was attached falling, while the other
part remained in the attitude it was in
before the blow was given. 1t was now
Mr. RS turn TO stand aghast. But, present
ly recovering himself, he pushed it with
the hoe, and it fell over like stick or any
piece of wood. The spell now being brok-
en-, the toad was relieved, whereupop it
made one tremendous bound of fully
fifteen feet against the house, aud, rebound
ing, fell upon the walk, where it lay quiz
ering and painting.
