present outlook for an abundant corn croI
II this section was never better than 1t il
the present season. The same may bt
said ofthe Irish and sweet potato crops
and all garden vegetables. The oat CROP
win be fair if not abundant. Should the
season prove favorable the loss in he wheat
and hay crops viii be more than made up
by he increased yields of other crops.
Tie McMinnville Neac Era Of the 18th
inst. says Our farmers are apprehensive
that tie wheat crop of our county will not
turn out as well as was anticipated few
weeks since. The almost daily rains for
the past two or three weeks has caused the
appearance Of escab" or s'spot" in several
localities, and has also developed crust" in
some portion of our county. We hope,
however, their apprehensions may not De
realized, and that We may still have fair
crop. The continued wet weather is oper-
aLing to the serious detriment OF harvest
ing, which is now going on.
The Knoxville Chronicle of the 10th inst
says: A woman by the name of King,
wife Of James King, living near the banks
of the river, at t1e foot of Gay street, was
in dying condition yesterday evening from
the effects Of spider bite, received week
or ten days ago. As soon as bitten, the
limb began to swell, but seemed to yield 10
treatment, and to all appearance the wo-
man was getting better, until few days
since, when relapse set in. She has been
ina speeches. condition ever since, gradu-
ually sinking, and doubtless beyond the
reach of medical assistance, the physicians
called in expressing their inability to fathon
the cause for relapse. We fear, from
what we can learn, that ere the readers
eye she will be CORPSE.
The McMinnvilie Neao Era of the 10Th
inst. says: A feT days since JEFF Stokes,
Russ Brown, Sanford Brown and Kims
Kockhart, in the vicinity of Beersheba
Springs, took another look after Bruin and
bis progeny. Their search was rewarded
by fresh bear signs, and pursuit was made,
which soon resulted in the death of very
large she bear from the well aimed rife of
JEFF Stokes. The party came near captur-
ing her two cubs, but they succeeded in
making their escape. This is the same
party that killed an old she and captured
her two cubs a short time since. In the
last hunt, they wounded another bear
which they failed to capture. When these
boys go out old Bruin must look well to
bis carc&se, or it goes sup spout"
The Columbia Herald Of the 10Th inst.
says: A rather serious difficulty occurred
in South Columbia, Monday morning, be-
tween Mr.. John Huss ana colored man
named Billy Kline. 1t seems that Kline
had whipped a little son OF MFR. Huss' sever
al days prior to the difficulty, and Mrs. Huss
was talking to him about it. Ee began to
use insulting words towards her, when her
husband hearing the fuss, arrived on the
grounds and ordered Kline to desist and
leave. He refused, and the enraged hus-
band fred upon him, the bah taking effect
in his shoulder. Huss was carried before
Henry l.. Holm.n, yesterday, and no
prosecutor appearing, he was discharged.
The Columbia Herald Of the 10Th inst:
says: A number Of gentlemen living on
Leatherwood Creek iwent a SEEMING for
fish, last Saturday night, at the mouth of
Leatherwood Greek, which empties into
Duck River in Hickman county. The river
had become much swollen, but hey started
u and dragged the seine to a sandbar, but
before they arrived there they got in deep
water, and several came near be ng drown
ed by being caught in the seine in the dark.
VIM. Charters, being unable to swim, was
drowned in one of the deep holes, but the
sad fact was not discovered Until the seine
was dragged out on the sandbar, and each
man counted, in row. The body was not
recovered until the next day, when the
thunder storm brought him to the surface
of the water. Gus Sowell, who was his
comrade in the late war, tells US he was a
brave and faithful soldier, and an excellent
man. He belonged to company G, OH Bat
talon. Tennessee Cavalry.
