CApruRrp.-Sh Sheriff Beaumont and

CAPTURED.-Sheriff Beaumont and
A. B. Foster have used the utmost
vigilance and undergone much labor
and trouble in capturing Sam. Hooper,
the negro who murdered the negro
man Orange some days ago. After
chasing him all over the country they
captured him, last Wednesday night,
near Danville, Tenn. They had to
shoot at him several times to bring
him to stand. When taken he had
his pistol drawn, and would. doubtless,
have fired, but saw that the officers
had the advantage of him. These
gentlemen deserve credit for captur-
ing this negro, and bringing him to
safe quarters.

4 John Ravenscraft, of Harrison co.,
says he is the owner of two ewes which
have dropped % lambs in five years
all of which were raised except two.
The Glasgow Times says: 1--WE

several horses have died from it.
Coal has been found within three
miles of Elkton, on the farms of w.

The peach crop of Todd was almost
entirely destroyed by the late frosts,

The Owen News says that in the
vicinity of New Liberty tobacco plants
look badly, " and fears are entertained
that the frost of last week has well

The Franklin Patriot says: "Up to
last Friday night, we never had bet
ter prospect for a fine crop of fruit;
but alas on Saturday morning our
hopes and at least s. per cent. of the
fruit, were blighted by the frost. The
young life of apples pears, peaches,
plums, cherries, &C., and worse still,
of the strawberries, went out with the
glitter of the frost crystals"
Friday morning of last week, our
farmers arose to find thata heavy frost
had fallen during the preceding night
and well-nigh destroyed the prospect
for fruit of every description. From
every portion of the county the same
intelligence reaches US, and we con-
clude that there is now but little
chance for fruit this year in this coun-
ty. Prior to this biting frost, the pros
pect for fruit in Warren was never
better. The blight has come, however,
and we must content ourselves with an
inexpressibly serious privation.-Bo,o-
ling Green Democrat.

Clarksrille Female Academr.

We clip the following. in reference
to the GAINESVILLE Female Academy,
from the Nashville Christian Advocate:
Many will hear with concern that
DIR. West isabout to give up the Clarks-
vile Female Academy. 1t has been
most successful under his management.
During the seven years that he has
had charge of it many hundreds of
young ladies have received their edu-
cation in this institution. The school
has had on an average over two hun
bred students year. DIR. West has
afforded gratuitous instruction to many
who were not able to pay-he has done
this on large scale, and he shall not
be without his reward. Like Brother
Hargrove, he thinks he is now entitled
to devolve the work of teaching on
others, and return to the regular work
of the ministry. We need not say how
gladly he will be welcomed back into
the pastoral work We are happy to
say that he has secured an excellent
successor, the Rev. j. NJ. Wright-the
worthy President of Athens Female
College. He has good antecedents,
and we predict for him and the Acad-
envy successful future.
