Immigration.

The December number of the Tennessee
LuRd register, an enterprisng immigra-
ton journal, published by Spencer Mum
son, has just been issued from the CHRoN-
ICLE office. 1t contains full ana satisfac-
tory description of several hundred pieces
of valuable farming property. besides
much useful information about East Ten
nessee, which must prove interesting to
its thousands of Northern readers.
Mr.. Munson, through his Lana Reqistc1
is doing great work for East Tennessee,
in inducing immigration. Few of our peo-
pie realize how surely, if slowly, this work
is going on. There are very many good
Northern farmers coming unheralded and
quietly into East Tennessee. They are
buying farms and rapidly improving them
They are coming in greater numbers than
our people suspect. Every family that
comes is sure in time to bring others
The letters to the CHRONICLE from
the North are coming faster now than
for months. Every mail brings US word
for farmers disheartened by the early APP
pearancC of winter. Snow and ice already
in the North and nothing of il yet here
What a contrast! These facts make an
impression in the North, and are fast
bringing to our section an earnest, indus
trious class of persons, who are cordially
welcomed and doing great cd.

THE STORH.
Total Destruction of the Norihw est Knox
VILE NJ. T. ChurcH --7'

The storm OH "Wednesday night was one
of the heaviest and most destructive we
have been visited with for some time.
Early in the evening the wind was blow
ing severely, but by midnight il had risen
to regular storm. The severest sufferers
by this storm were the members of the
Northwest Knoxville NJ. f. Church, their
new and beautiful church edifice being a
mass of ruins in the morning. 1t seems
that the storm was hardest Just about
o'clock yesterday morning, when it blew
down the entire front of the building,
scattering the brick around promiscuously
i'll the lot, while the sides of the building
were so badly cracked that they are about
ready to fall, and would perhaps
have fallen ere this but for the
roof and props on the side. The back
wall and the roof are uninjdred, as well as
the window frames and glass. The pulpit
and seats were also uninjured, and have
been taken out of the ruins, the pulpit be-
ing removed to a neighboring house The
Sabbath school library was kept in case
against the front wall, aud of course. all
the books which had not been taken out
by the scholars last Sabbath, were thrown
out in the rain, when the wall fell.

free communion

At the request of Rev. Francis NJ. Kinds,
alibCral Baptist preacher, we insert the
following on Free or Open Communion:
"As to the subject of Communion, it is
one to be left to the Individual conscience
of eve believer. If believe it to be ~
privilege or my duty to commu-.. with a
disciple of Christ, who holGs TO Pedo Ban

another brother declines such communion,

To All Whom IL May Concern.

TO the Clerks and 2reasurerS Of the Grill
Districts Of hnOr County:
AS the law provides, under the act of 1873,
that each clerk and treasurer of the school
districts is required to give bond with
security approved by the District Directors
for the safe keeping and proper dsburse-
ments of all monies that come into his
hands, | would say to those that have
not give bond, they will please do so, that
we may be in readiness to receive the
money as soon as it is paid over by the Tax
Collector. 1t will mot he long, 1 think,
until / get some school money for 1873.
Our teachers in the county are needing it.
L would like for.them to get it as soon as
possible. We cannot take the money OF
1872, to pay Off teachers of 1873, where the
districts are still in debt to the teachers of
1872, but if they are out of debt, then of
course the remainder of the old county levy
will be applied to paying off the teachers
of 1873, as 10 has been done in some of the
districts already.
Respectfully your obedient servant

hour. A large number Of women were
seated in the spectators gallery, chiefly
enjoying the spectacle as bit of
very rude fun. Strangers without tick
cts persisted in blocking up the en-.
trance on Wall street, and turned
deaf ear to the opportunities of the
doorkeeper, who wanted to have the
way kept clear. The roar of the excit.
ing combat was brought to their ears
from inside only to render them more
eager for admission. Among the ex-
cited crowd inside were all varieties of

viduals sat apart as if fearing TO enter
the dangerous whirl. although. they
were known TO have boldly ven,ured
and heavily won at many previous
Journeys Of the same kind. A few 9TH
ers flung themselves into the cushioned
seats about the room, as if exhausted
or wounded in the contest. But with
out thought of these. the main crowd
surged and fought. Groups were plant
ed about the room with hands and
voices raised, screaming into the ears
Of neighbors, and shaking two, three or
four fingers in the faces of their next
friends without cessation, except the
seconds required to jot sale or au
item in their books. Above this up
roar the president Ct the exchange sat

casionally to read the kilograms that
were Tutoring in upon him. A. he

a heightened mutter, and when the
