A MIR. Johnson, met with serious acci-
dent last week. BY some means he fell i'm
front of his wagon and both wheels ran
over his legs. One of them was broken in
two places. The wagon was heavy four
horse one and it had heavy load ON it at

The amenities of journalism are now be-
ing pracuced by the editors of the Banner
and Republican at Cleveland.
The Banner reports but little trade in
corn, which is worth 60 cents per bushel,
but not active-the trade being principal
ly regulated by the home demand. Corn
meal dull at 50 cents Bacon now sells
very readily at 10 cents per pound, hog
round, by the wagon load.
Cumberland County.
correspondent of the Kingston East
IcllleSSCedn says that wolves are so
troublesome that it is almost impossible to
raise sheep. A few days ago a number of
the farmers organized themselves into a
vigilance committee with the view, if not
determination, at least retaliation, upon
them, and upon their first sally succeed
in annihilating five. The indignant far
mers are still on the war path, and hope to
clean out the ravenous beasts before they
stop.
Roaue County.
The East IerlneSseedn states that a few
nights ago party of disguised men visited
house in the in the neighborhood of
Winters Gap in this county, or in the
edge of Anderson, on the hunt of man
by the name of Bluford Braden, and after
finding him took him out and gave him an
unmerciful pounding, in the most approx
ed style. The affair was altogether of
personal nature and politics had nothing
to do with it.
A public meeting in aid of a proposed
rolling mill will be held at Kingston on
the 3lst.
Sullivan County.
A friend, who has farm close to Bris-
tol, being greatly troubled by the depreda-
young corn, soaked some corn in arsenic
and placed it handy for them. The rene
dy was very affective.
There is much complaint in this section
of the depredatons of the cut worms. A
friend watched his tomatoes, cabbage, and
potatoes go with the utmost complacency,
but when the depredatOrs commenced on
his "ingin" patch, he shed great tears of
grief.

Washington County.
On Tuesday morning last, Mr.. Nathan
Copass, well known citizen residing near
Douglass Shed, in the northern portion of
this county, while attending to his stock
in his barnyard, fell dead, suddenly. 1t is
supposed he was attacked with heart dis
ease, as he had been occasionally subject to
it.
On Monday last, thunder storm passed
over Jonesboro', which for the time of its
duration, was as severe as we have ever
seen. The water came down in perfect
torrents, and many of the houses of our
citizens were flooded with water. Consid-
cradle damage was done by the overflow of
water.
A man and his wife, named CaraWay,
who resided near the Roane mountain, in
Crab Orchard, Carter county, Tenn, we
learn, a few weeks ago, died from using
poisoned milk, from animals affected by
eating poisonous vegetation. They were
both buried in onegrave, leavingOne small
child. The disease is generally known
among the mountaineers as milk Sick,"
and is said to be occasioned by vapors inn
pregnated with arsenic settling on vegeta-
ton, which is eaten by the cattle.
There are families who have lived in
that neighborhOod for years, that have be-
come, as it were, acclimated,n whom this
kind of milk never affects.
There is said to be a small vale lying
between the Roane and Blue Ridge noun
tains, where the bones of dead animals are
so thick they can be walked on for over a
mile. These bones are said TO be those of
poisoned animals !-J0ResbOro' Rag.
