The Dolly warden sensation.

The Dolly Warden sensation has
reached every city, town, village and
hamlet of the land. The origin of this
new style of dress, which is agitating
the feminine world, is from Dickens
story, "Barnaby >Rudge." Dolly Var
den was asweet little daughter Of Lock-
smith Warden, who ran all the boys
almost crazy with her pretty face
and figure, and "outdressed" all the
other girls with cunningly made
overskirts and dresses of the very
cheapest, gayest and ''loudest" patterns.
Dolly could dress in curtain calico,
and then look prettier than any one
else. An exhange says: A "Dolly
Warden" is q mOriantique dress pat
better-it is made of some material, and
is cut bias at the top and bottom, and
trimmed with Honiton pOlOnaises and
tube roses, with q peplum running two
chains and three links southwest from
the starting point, around the outskirts
OF civilization, and pinned together
with selfacting solitaire pin. The
dress pattern is figured largely, and
the dress will figure largely during the
coming campaign.
The figures are so large that it takes
eight dress patterns to show off the
figures to advantage. When broiled,
and husbands will getin broil if they
don't buy one, they are excellent, COW
cred with gravy made in the shape of
an overtiress. They are buckled down
under the shoes like tight pants, and
have hustle ON as large as load of
hay.

Sheriff A. F. Goodman, at the instance
of. T. Garrett, an eX-cOnstable, levied
on and sold Thomas Baxter's grist mill 4,
on Cane Creek, as personal property, a
few days ago. The mill being connect
ed with old terra firma by means OF dog
wood forks, it was decided by the Sher-
iff that the mill was too high above the
ground to be anything like real estate,
as the wind was likely to upset it almost
any time.
On the evening of the Sth inst, the
rain fell in torrents, raising Big Swan
and its tributaries to an awful extent.
Indian Creek was higher than il WAS
ever known to be before. The treshet
was more destructive than the May
freshet of 1856. The farmers have been
thrown back at least three weeks in
their farming business. The damages
on Big Swan and its tributaries will
exceed fifty thousand dollars. Cane
Creek was higher than it was ever
known to be, and it is supposed that
the damages on Cane Creek will equal
the damages on Big Swan and its tribu-
taries. The farmers on both creeks
have gone to work to repair their farms.

Trout Fishing.

Duck River has been muddy for sew
oral weeks past, and consequently unfit
for trout fishing, as that fastidious fish
will not bite when the xateg is in that
condition, but leaves it to sluggish cat
fish and water-dogs, and goes up the
small, clear streams. The anglers have
therefore been compelled to go to Big
Bigby, Shoal and other creeks. Mr..
Spoon Frierson says that Webster's
i}am, at Cross Bridges, is the best place
for trout in Middle Tennessee, hut too
many persons fish there for 1t to he pro-
fiitable to anybody. In England such
places are rented out every season like
we rent our fields for the cultivation of
cotton and corn, and the time will
come when those who own the banks of
Big Bigby.will rent them out by the

toe banks of Swan have been posted,
TO which We would not object If they
would rent their trout pools, and allow
no one else to fish in them. Mr.. Willis

business men in the county, is the Izaak
Walton of Big Bigby. Fishermen say
they had rather see him pull out trout
than to catch one themselves. The 9TH

LEATHERWOOD ITEMS.

The recent heavy rains did much
damage to farmers along the creek.
The heaviest and most destructive rain
that has fallen here for fifty years, fell
on the Sth inst. 1t seemed as if the
heavens had given way beneath their
vast sea OF water. The rain poured in
torrents for nearly three hours, with
only one short interval; and the creek,
which had almost dried up previous to
the rain, rose to the hight of six or sew
en- feet in less than one hour. Over
leaping its banks, the creek soon spread
to the extent of thirty or forty yards
on either side, sweeping fences, soii
and everything in it's mad course. At
Johnson's distillery, the creek ran
through the warehouse, emptying the
contents OF several barrels, and leaving
them filled with muddy water. The
waters were then, of course, needless
of which way they went, and in pass
ing Col. Bibb's saw mill, tore out one
end of the dam, Overspread the lumber
yard, carrying off all the lumber and
some few logs. Passing on rapidly to
Cooks mill, the water made brea Oh
in his dam, but the damage was not
very great. At Charters store, stand
ing within about thirty yards of the
main creek, the water was twenty
seven inches deep at the door. New
comb IL johnson lost about four thOU-
sand feet of lumber. Damages on the
creek are estimated at 5000. Some
thought we were going to have a second
Noachian flood.
Mr.. Theodore Erwin died on Thurs
