A lady in this city, several years ago,

" the tooth became loose, and the other
day, while out in the yard feeding her
chickens, she sneezed very hard, when the
tooth fell out and swa at once swallowed
by one of the chickens. The lady kept
her eye upon that same chicken, and as
soon as possible effected capture, when
| she felt of the craw until she discovered a
substance she took to be her tooth, and ,
taking knife, the craw was opened at that
place, the tooth taken out and again closed
with needle and thread and the chicken
released. The chicken is still living and
well, though full of resolution never again
to swallow tooth, while the lady sports a
full set of teeth again. The above is
vouched for as the truth by reliable gem

Negro Attempts 90 Throw OF Two
Trains and II Caught.

A negro who had been employed on the
Dalton branch of the East Tennessee, Vir-
ginia and Georgia railroad, and discharged
for some cause or other, made two inef-
fectual attempts, on Wednesday, at throw
ing trains off the track. He had placed q
cross-tie across the track Just before the
passenger train came along, in order to
throw IL off, but the desired effect was not
reached, as the engine threw the cross.te
off and passed safely. He then placed an
other cross-tie over the track ahead of the
regular freight train, but with the same
result, with the exception that n second
freight ran into the rear of this train,
which had stopped to ferret out the perpe.
traitor of the outrage, and some slight dam
age was done. The railroaders tracked
the man to his home, and found him to
be the colored man who had been dis
charged from the road, as above stated
and arresting him, he admitted the crime
He was brought Thursday to Capt. Jaques
who at once sent him back to Georgia, to
be turned over to the authorities in that
State, rs the outrage was committed there.
He will not be likely to make another at
tempt at throwing Off trains soon.

The business Outlook.

The business outlook here and elsewhere
is most gratifying. The indications now
are that the financial panic will very soon
have become thing of the past Its eff
feets will, as matter of course, be felt fol
some time, but in much less degree than
we could have looked for six weeks ago,
Money is growing plentier, and our mer-
chants appear to be doing their usual
amount of business. We expect to see the
grain and cotton move soon, when money
will flow back into its usual channels, and
business will go on as in times of prosperity.
Confidence is being restored and when this
is done we will have all that is wanted A
little economy and the restoration of con-
fidence, and then all will be well.

Financial Policy of jefferson County.
No. III.


EDITORS CHRONICLE: The calculations
furnished me for my September article,
upon this subject by the Deputy County
Court Clerk, we find to be somewhat in
correct, after more careful review of the
records with him and the Chairman of
the Court. The cause of the mistake was
owing to the settlement pending between
Jefferson and Hamblen counties being in
complete, as the Deputy Clerk states We
always take pleasure in correcting any
mistake, or any undue implication we
may have been connected with
We here add corrected statement for
the years of 1s7l-'72. the year 1870 being
left out of the correction, for the reason
that the settlement above referred to re-
mains pending. We find. for 1871, that
pauper, having been laid separate, So 500.
IL; total, for 1871, S10,006.5l. Claims is
sued for 1871, 50, 3O0.62 excess of taxes
over claims. S705.90. For 1872, county
tax, including Jail and pauper, S5,593,37
claims issued for 1872, S6,2S2.66 excess OF
expenses for this year, S6S0.20. This
leaves, for these two years, small bal
ance of taxes laid over warrants issued,
of S16.60.
So far as / know, the subject of our
finances has lost none Of interest or in
tensity; and as the year 1874 approaches,
we certainly can look forward with some
degree of assurance and hope for measures
of retrenchment and reform by our county
officials. We have heretofore been taught
by political demagogues that the bur
den of our taxes originated at Nashville, at
the seat of State government or at Wash
ington, the seat of our National govern
ment, not once thinking that some years
it took over $4,000 to meet the current ex-
| penses of our county. And while the
paupers of our county are source of con-
siderable tax to us, am informed that in
| other counties, perhaps Greene and Wash
| ington, they are made selfsupporting
with probably slight income to the coun
ty. -"

The Kennedy Insurance Shit.

The Supreme Court yesterday decided
the long pending suit of A. Kennedy, Jr.,
growing out of the loss of his goods in the
fire on Main street in the spring of 1867. Mr..
Kennedy was insured in the Home and we
believe the Phoenix Companies, the latter
represented by John s. Van Glider. The
companies refused to pay the insurance
money, claiming that the building was
burned by colluion with Mr.. Kennedy. a
protracted litigation followed which ended
yesterday favorable to Kennedy, the Su-
preme Court we understand, fully exonor-
ating Kennedy from fraud. The amount
recovered, Mr.. Kennedy claims, will pay
him out of debt. The Home Company has
gone into bankruptcy but the other COM
pany is solvent.

that ere long. He did not communicate
to us what means he intends to make use
of to secure his arrest, but we are certain
that his remarks were not made up of idle
boasting.
So far the arrest of the three of the gang
now in Jail has cost the Sheriff over three
hundred dollars out of his own funds there
being no law authorizing him to offer re-
wards or go to any expense in recapturing
escaped prisoners, and hence the action he
took was merely an act of benevolence to
the community at large in paying out his
own funds to secure the arrest of gang of
outlaws and desperate men, who were n
terror to the whole of Fast Tennessee. We
think that some action should be taken to
reimburse public officers from the State or
county treasury any OUTLAWS they may
make in capturing such men.
The Cincinnati Southern Road
The location of the long projected road
southwark for Cincinnati to Chitwood
still leaves the final location from that
point south undetermined. Chtwood is
about twenty miles from the present north
ern terminus of our Knoxville and Ohio
Railroad, and the intervening territory is
a rough one. We were informed yesterday
by Col. McGhCe, that to build this twenty
miles would cost near million of dollars,
If the Cincinnati road branches
direct for Chattanooga 1t will not
come nearer to the terminus referred to
than Chitwood But if the Trustees find
when they get to Chitwood that their ten
millions are about exhausted, NCy will
make the connection at once with the
Knoxville and Ohio Railroad, and leave
the balance of the road to Chattanooga to
be completed hereafter.
But no matter where the through road
runs, Knoxville will get the connection
via Chitwood either from the Cincinnati
Trustees or through the Knoxville and
Ohio Railroad. Even if the twenty miles
were to cost a full million, that sum would
not keep us from n direct communication
with the Ohio Valley.
