Of the latter, and but little hope is enter
tanned Of his recovery.
The Cleveland Banner Of the 18th inst.

and oat crops. 1t was almost hurricane
blowing down fences and trees in its course

fields of both corn and oats were blown
and beat down fiat, and much Of it utterly
destroyed.
The ShelbyVille Commercial of the 18th

came panic-stricken and fed the town
some three weeks ago, have returned.
Business is again assuming lively appear
ance, aud it will not be long before Shelby
vile will be herself again.
The Gallatin Examiner of the 18th inst.
says: We have made general inquiry
through the county, the past week, with a
view of forming a correct opinion as to the
yield of wheat. In several sections the
yield has been an average one; in others far
below, and take the county throughout,
We have estimated that it will average half
crop, but not Of the best quality. Many of
the fields have been affected BY the ''scab.n
The Kingston East TenReSSeean of the

young man by the name of Joe Sehooler,
son of John Schooler, formerly of Morgan
county, attempted suicide on Wednesday Of
last week, whilst walking along the road
near Wartburg, in company with several
friends, by shooting himself through the

an act was that of family troubles, and he
ing tired of life.

that have occurred since the 21st of June
IN Shelbyville, is 62; 70 Of which are whites

cholera no longer holds sway in ShelbyvilIe.
We learn that near Unionville, the families
Of Mrs. Hendon and Mrs. Mcdowell, who
went from here to escape the cholera, are
all down with it. With sorrow we chron-
icle the death Of Robert Castleman, who
died OF cholera last Tuesday, who lived
about nine miles South of this place. He
was a young man of excellent morals, and
leaves many friends and relatives to mourn
his death.
The Knoxville Chronicle of the 10th inst.
says: From our friends in the country, we
receive the most encouraging reports as to
the growing crops. Oats are now being
harvested, and we're scarcely ever better.
The wet weather may damage the crops, if
not it will be an extraordinary large yield
throughout East Tennessee. Corn never
looked BETTER 1t has grown rapidly during
the past week, and one or two more rains st
the proper time, will insure heavy yield.
Corn and oats viii perhaps go far to making
up the falling eff in the wheat and grass
crop.
A correspondent of the Knoxville Press
and Herald, who has traversed good por-
ton of upper East Tennessee, writes from
BlOuntvilie on the 9th inst. as follows:
Everywhere find the crops good except
the wheat crop, and that is certainly a fail
ure in psTt. Before it was harvested twas
thought to be of good quality, but since the
threshing process commenced, it is found to
be deficient even in this. There cannot be
a half crop, in my judgment. Oats were
never better. The grass crops are fine.
No fruit scarcely, Notwithstanding all
these drawbacks, the farmers are cheerful
and hopeful"
