Heavy SnOws-Watcr supply Cut OF
Quarterly Meeting-Cea

Heavy Sn0ws-WafcrS supply Cut OF
Quarterly Meeting-Ceal.
Correspondence of the Union and American.
RAWLINGS, Wyoming, Feb. 8, 1S73s-A
bridge west of this place broke down on the
81st of January, and freight train was
thrown into the river. The engine had
crossed, and no one was seriously hurt.
Passengers are transferred across the Platte
river In boats. It will be very difficult to
prepare the bridge, as the weather is very
cold, and It is difficult to get men to work
at anything of the kind.
On the 9Th Of January the thermometer
was thirty-one degrees below zero at seven
o'clock in the morning. At II o'clock it
was thirty-eight. At Fort Saunders it. was
fifty-one. A great many miners had their
hands and feet frozen. We had a heavy
snow on the 9th inst. and one on tie 3lst,
and 1t is about three feet deep in the val
legs, with scarcely any on the bills. Moth
ing can be heard from the Seminole mines
on account of snow. This place is sup
piled with water from Cherokee
Springs, and during the recent cold
weather new man was hired
to run the pump and he let C freeze. The
pump busted, and our supply of water was
cut of, and as the springs are four miles
from town we were in very bad condi-
ton. One Of the buildings containing the
tank took fire this evening but before it
burned much, train of water arrived
from toe Platte river and the fire was ex-
tinguised. The railroad shops cannot run
for want Of water.
The first quartz crushed at the Seminole
Mines, averaged fourteen dollars to the
ton. As the quartz was mike d with snow
and dirt, this was large yield, and it is es-
timated that when the quartz is free from
rubbish, 1t will go twenty dollars to the ton.
Every miner set to work determined to get
out the quartz and have it crushed, but a
heavy snow storm which lasted three days
stopped the mill and miners from working,
and the mines are abandoned until spring,
when they expect to put in mills and de-
velop the whole district.
A coal mine was opened by Ferris &
Hare, prominent hunters of Rawlings, last
week at st. Marys, small station some
distance below this place, the first load of
which was taken upon the surface of the
ground and pronounced excellent coal.

The Prettiest Girl In West Tennessee.
The Ripley Meas, whose editor was fed
on straw berries Valentines day, says in its
last issue:
"The Dyersburg Progress, Brownsville
States and Somerville Falcon, are all claim

resides in their respective towns. II this
trio Of graceless old bachelors win cross

ity of getting their ears soundly boxed by
The prettiest girl In West Tennessee, who
resides in Ripley, and is as mad as blixen
because these villainous newspaper men
will persist in incorporating her place of
residence. Shut up, now, all of you; she
has never been to Dyersburg, Brownsville
nor Somerville, and authorizes us to say
that she never expects to be-"
Then let her come to Nashville, especial
ly during The Exposition In May next.

The Mckenzie Times, Feb. is, says:
"On Thursday night last party of four
or five armed soldiers got off the southern
bound train, and under the command Of an
orderly (p) surnamed Carpenter, entered
the Mckenzie House Saloon, and were
waited upon very promptly and politely by
Mr.. Jackson. After drinking, the soldiers
made their exit, leaving the officer to do
the paying-Mr. jackson awaiting his tar
diness to act, in the meantime. Finally
upon being asked for what was due, he
very complacently stated that he had no
money but would settle the bill hisInext trip
Jackson gave him piece of his mind, and
peremptorily demanded his money, which
caused the man to realize the importance of
an immediate adjustment. His sword, belt
and csrtridge-box are all that's left of him
at the Mckenzie House, and we fear he'll
be punished in The guard-house when be
gets back to bis command. When an at
tempt is made to impose on any of our bG-
siness men 10 this way, you should be GER
tain of reinforcamenss being in signal dis
lance"

The Mxstil. KIoMnes.

Yesterday four strange creatur es
KoWnes Of the Mardi Gras, paraded the
streets and caused no little merriment.
These Klownes arrived yesterday morning
from New Orleans, and speak seventeen
different languages and thirteen dialects.
They are being fed On boiled cocoanuts,
baked mushrooms and fried oxen. in order
TO increase their avoirdupois to Brobdigna-
gian proportions by next Tuesday, which
is MUdi Gras day. Wherever they were
driven yesterday their comic appearance
was hAiled with delight, the p2vaments be-
ing crowded with anxious spectators. The
sturn-out" was credit2be TO Momus, who
has ordered 1900 grotesque CARDS to be
forwarded to Nashville for the celebration.
The Klownes will parade again before next
Tuesday, and we hear it stated that delega-
lions from neishboring towns will attend
the celebration.

The Judiciary Committee Of the State
Seuata

OF our many State Legislatures which
have from time to time held their sessions
at the Capitol, there has, perhaps, never
one assembled which had on its list Of
committees one more laborious, energetic
and efficient than the present Judiciary
Committee of the Senate. Its chairman,
MIR. Smithson, Of Giles, is one of the young
est members of the present Assembly. He
is an earnest worker, man of fine ability
and ready Senator. The other members
of the COMMITTEES are Messrs. Richardson,
of Rutherford; Brandon, of Stewart; War
rem, of McNairy; Snipes, of Madison; Nc
Council, of Trousdale; Tillman, of Lin
coln; Morgan, of Bradley, and Mccall, of
Obion; all well known lawyers. With such
committees in cur Assembly the people of
the State have right TO expect wholesome
legislation.

A BLOODY RENCONTRE.
a Personal Joke and Its TragIcaI
Results.


Monday last Lebanon witnessed very
unfortunate difficulty between Emmett
Thompson, ESQ.,, and the Mayor, Samuel
Stratton. 1t seems that the latter had been
telling Joke on the former, who for some
reason took oilense al the humor and COM
menced using abusive language toward
Strstton. The parties began scufiing and
then pistols were drawn. STATIONS weapon

Since writing the above we have received
from o correspondent some details OF the
difficulty, aud also mention of another diff

local paragraph elsewhere.
To the Editor of the Union and American:
LEBANON, TENN, Feb. II, 1S73-The
spring fights have opened in Wilson.
At about O'Clock this evening the usual
quiet OF our town was disturbed by seri-
Gus difficulty between Col. Euimit Thomp-
son, ex-member Of the bar st this place,
and Mr.. Sam Slratton, clerk of our Circuit
Court, and also the Mayor of our town,
which resulted IN Mr.. Stratton's being
dangerously wounded. The facts as We
have gathered them are about these: Mr..
Thompson and Mr.. Stratton had a misun-
derstanding and slight difficulty in The
Chancery Court Clerks office, aud were
sepafced by Mr.. Riddle and other gentle
men present, and it was thought the mat
ter would be dropped; but soon after they
met near the enterance Of the courthouse,
and renewed the difficulty, and several
shots were exchanged, one taking effect a
little below The inside corner

considerable depth, but the physician thinks
that the bail ranged so as not to touch the
brain, producing q very dangerous, but 1t is

gave himself up TO the authorities. il is a
matter here of general regret, as Col.
Thompson and Mr.. Strstton are both re
garded as being clever gentlemen.
The excitement produced by The above
affair had scarcely subsidized before gentie-
man came in from the country and report
ed that difficulty had taken place neSr
Messrs. Collier Il Morris store, about three.
miles north of This place, between two gen.
tlemen by The names of Shaw and Hen

The Literary CIub.

The members of the Young Ladies' Lit

ry yesterday, which was due to the fact
that they were engaged in adopting con-
stitution and bylaws. It is distinctly I'M
derstood that these young ladies do nc in

aspirations of the Woodruff Clafin or Sue
Anthony character. They are literary, and
have no desire to go beyond books fo- glory
