The Sherlock Valley Guard tells
the following snake story which
sounds rather fshy. lie says Mr..
Evans discovered snake the other
day. which measured seven feet in
length. in a crack of his fence. His
snakeship had swallowed a rabbit
and then started through the fence,
when he came in contact with another
rabbit, which he also swallowed-
thus rabbit and part OF a snake
was on either side of the fence. This
double meal 80 enlarged the snake
that he was unable to either back out
or finish his journey through the fence
in which predicament Mr.. Evans
found and killed the "original sim
ner."
Last December man named
James Sumner, attempted to kill his
wife from whom he had been sepe-
rated, but failed and was imprisoned
but his wife would not appear against
him and he was released, few days
since he made another attempt on
her. al her brothers house. He came
ND behind her as she sat quilting,
pulled her head back, and cut her
throat with a butcher knife. No
men were present, and the women
beat him off with chairs, etc., and his
wife got away, when he commenced
sticking his own worthless CARCASS

from which he died soon after. His

Alligator Shot.

On Sunday last, James G. Swaggerty
shot an alligator at Boyd's mill about four
miles from town. The ball passed through
his neck, near the back bone, but it is
thought the spinal column was only grazed
and that his alligatorship will recover his
full strength and appetite in time. When
hit it appeared stunned and Swaggerty
picked it up and placed it in a yawl intend
ing to cross the river, but it began to
squirm around, swapping at the side of the
toat and making things lively, when
Swaggerty, who was determined to hold
OF to his prize, caught hold of the scaly
monster around the body, while friend
inserted pole in his mouth and with q
third person rowing the alligator was
brought safely ashore.
Capt. Boyd is undecided what to do with
his pickaninny destroyer, but thinks if it
lives he will make pet of it and if it dies
a medical friend of his who is fond of
snakes, insects, &C., would like to stuff
him and preserve the body az a warning to
other migratory saurians. The alligator
was five feet six inches long and is pre-
sumed to be the same one that frightened
the people and kept them from fording the
river near by, causing the ferry to be large
ly patroniZed in consequence.

THE Committee AT WORK.
A Chance for Knoxville to Show lleI
Hand.

The Committee to raise the funds to
secure the location at Knoxville of the
Methodist University has begun the work
of canvassing. This is really one of the
most important exerprises ever proposed
for this city. We sincerely believe that it
is the test of the faith our people have in
the future of Knoxville. Locate this Uni
versity here and it will bring thousand
additional population at once and cause to
be expended here annually tens of thous-
ands of dollars. Every property
holder and every business man in the
city is largely interested in the success Of
the movement. We dare not be picayun-
ish in this matter. Our representative
men must show their liberality in this
matter. The real estate holders and men
of wealth owe it to themselves and the city
to subscribe literally. It is simple bust
ness matter with them. Every dollar
they subscribe is bound to bring them
back ten fold. Every lot and acre of land
about Knoxville would be increased in
value by the University and therefore
every real estate holder should give liber-
ally. It is a. vital question for Knoxville
and our people must come up to their duty.
Let the committee make thorough can
vass and every citizen do his duty.

Sudden Death OF a Minister.

On Sunday morning last between six
and seven O'Clock, Rev. VIM. Ramsey, of
the Cumberland Presbyterian Church died
very suddenly at the residence of Rev.
John M. Brown, near Powell's Station.
Mr.. Ramsey resided in the third civil
district, about ten miles from Knoxville
and rode over to Mr.. Browns on Saturday,
stopping there all night and enjoyed a
comfortable nights repose. After getting
up the deceased had some conversation
with his host in regard to meeting then
in progress in the neighborhood, in which
both took lively interest.
Shortly after Mr.. Brown was called out,
leaving two of his SONS with Mr.. Ramsey
in the room, when the latter leaned back in
his chair and threw out his arms and feet
and died without further struggle.
Mr.. Browns son thought that the decease
ed probably had a fit, and went to hlm
pulling one of his feet from too close proX-
unity to the fire and told his father, who
at once came in and asked if he was
sick? Receiving DO reply, he asked if he
was asleep? Still obtaining no response,
he looked closely, and to his horror and
dismay, saw that his guest, with whom
few minutes before he had been talking,
was dead.
1t is supposed that Mr.. Ramsey died
from an affection of the heart. as his veins
were prominent and apparently full of
blood. He had taken medicine shortly
after he had gotten up, but of what kind
our informant did not know.
The deceased was inferred yesterday
afternoon in the family cemetery in the
Sd district of Knox county.
Mr.. Ramsey had long been engaged in
the ministry and was taken from his work
with the gospel harness on, and like a
ripened sheaf, he was gathered as grain
for the harvest, having passed his three
