James A. Moore, formerly of this
place, owns a tract of land in Obion
County, on which the famous Davy
Crockett, the bear killer, has often
hunted. On one occasion, branch
which runs through this land was much
swollen by freshet, and Crockett, in
order to cross it, cut down a catalpa
tree, which fell across the stream, and
he passed over safely. This happened
nearly forty years ago, and yet this
same foot log still remains, although
the top has been washed around. The
tree, in falling, fell entirely loose
from the stump, and is in state of
decay, except two limbs, one of which is
about six Inches in diameter. These
limbs are perfectly green. Those who
doubt this story can have it removed by
asking s. H. Timmons, Major VIM.
Galloway, of this vicinity, or any citi
zen of the neighhorhQod of Crockett
Branch, Obion County. Capt. Sterret,
an old hunting companion OF Davy
Crockett, lives in half mile of the
wonderful foot-log, and testifies that
d. Crockett and McCullom cut the tree
down. McCullom, whom Crockett
speaks OF in his book, is dead, but in
his lifetime often spoke of the foot-log,
as having been cut down by Crockett
and himself.

The following joke, which we copy
from the New York Post, was perpe-
trated on the brother of a gentleman
who lives near this place:
"a joke of the kind termed practical,
but which IN its result was very annoy>
ing to the person chiefly concerned, was
played in this city very recently. A
gentleman living on Twenty-third street
attracted the attention of passers by the
care bestowed on his house, and they
deemed him a proper subject for their
plot. An advertisement was accord
ingly inserted in three papers saying
that a bulldog was wanted, and asking
persons having one to dispose of to cell
at the number of the above mentioned
house between the hours of and II A..
NJ. the following Sunday.
"Nine o'clock had hardly struck when
man assembled the brown stone steps,
leading dog which might have been
haste suit yer" he inquired of the SER
want who opened the door. Her sur
prise was Of course very great, but she
was assured that dog was wanted there,
and called her employer. He indig-
nantly ordered the man away, and when
shown one of the advertisements
thought there had been q misprint.
The bell rang again in few moments,
and the servant found on the stoop
an old man leading a little pup by
cable large enough to hold ship.
The conversation was repeated and
with like result. The next caller was
Fourth ward sport, who carried his
merchandise in his arms. The owner
of the house having by this time seen
the same advertisement cut from three
different papers presented by three diff
ferent men, knew that be was the victim
of a plot. His indignation was of course
great, but what could he do? The callers
kept coming, and when the church bells
were ringing and the sidewalks were
most crowded, three dog sellers stood on
the stOop at once.
"His offers that day numbered twelve,
and he ha1 two more before Tuesday
night"

The Methodist Concert.

The people of this place were RECALLED
with q delightful entertainment, in
Hammers Hall, Thursday night, the
18th inst, under the management of
Prot Herr. 1t was lovely night. A
dewy freshness filled the silent air, and
the silver moon rolled in full-orbed
glory, through the heavens of somble
blue, TIE night itself was sufficient to
have called forth all who have an eye
for the beautiful, and, of course, all Co
lumbia was out.
Each actor seemed to be inspired by
the presence ofso magnificent an audi
ence, and through ouch inspiration at
once become adjoining stars 10 the pro-
fession of mssic. At the close of each
piece, each auditor was disposed to say
within himself:
That strain again; il had dying fall:

The amateur performers received the
praise OF every one present, so tar as we
have heard. About Prof. Herr we feel
more at liberty TO speak at length. His
collections were gems from the masters,
and his own performance on the violin
established his reputation as a per-
former of very high order. Those who
have heard the most emipent ytolinists
ot this continent, declared that Prof.
Uerz is not inferior to any of them.
The Professor has every reason to feel
nroud of this concert, as it has proven
him to be musician of superior merit.
But he could not have achieved the
grand success he did without the assis-
lance of the brilliant talents Of the anna,
teurs of Columbia. The proceeds Of thi
concert amounted to about Sl5S. The
energetic and noble ladies OF the Meth
pdist Church have boon getting money

Thomas white Killea.

About two weeks ago, to-day, the
wife Of Elijah Blocker, who lives on the
south side of Duck River, about four
miles above Williamsport, and ten miles
below Columbia, left her husbands bed
and board, and went to the home Of her
father, Buck Wilkes, about half mile
away. The next day, Saturday, Block
er's little son went to his grandfather's
to see his mother, and Blocker went af-
ter him, and whipped him back homo.
The next day, Sunday evening, Mr..
Wilkes went to a neighbor, Thomas
White, and asked him to go to Blocker
an / endesvor to get up reconciliation
between him and his wife. White said
he did not like to interfere in family
matters, but that II he could do any
thing in the interest of peace, he would
do so. He went home with MIR. Wilkes.
After examining the child, (which had
been brought back by its grandfather
White went out to the gate, and there he
met Blocker. Both OF these men got
upon the fence, and commencing whit
Ting sticks with their knives. White
stated to Blocker his mission OF peace;
that he had examined the whipped boy,
that he was badly beaten, and that be
ought not to have done 30. Blocker re-
piled, "Tom, I've got nothing against
you, but the man that says that whip
ped my child numerically, tells d-n
lie" White got of the fence, into the
yard, remarking a. he did so, that he
did not like to take the lie from any
body; whereupon Blocker repeated il
twice. White put his knife in his pock-
ct, got over the fence, out Of the yard,
and told Blocker that he would fight
him a fair fight, and struck him, and
clinched him. Blocker had not shut up
his knife, and when White clinched
him, he reached down and cut him near
the right hip, inflicting a mortal wound,
of which he died on Tuesday evening
following. Before he died, Mr.. White
sent for Blocker and said he (White)
was to blame in the matter, and that he
forgave him. Sheriff Latta promptly
arrested Blocker, on Tuesday evening,
and he was tried before Esq. w. r. Nc
Kennon, who bound him over to the
Criminal Court, in the sum OF
$1,000. Blocker gave bond. Blocker,
White, and Wilkes were all akin and be-
lOnged to the same church.
Thomas White, the murdered man,
was the son Of Mr.. James NJ. White OF
that neighborhood, was aged about So
years, and made an excellent soldier. He
leaves an afflicted family in INDECENT
circumstances.
