The river is falling rapidly, with Il
feet on Harpeth Shoals.
The tow boat l. N. Philips, with two
barges of Pittsburg coal in tow, while
attempting to pass the bridge piers, on
Tuesday last, collided with the pier
on the South side. One of the barges
was badly damaged, but the prompt
action of her crew in rigging their
steam cyphon; kept the barge afoat
until tarpaulin was hauled under the
barges. 1t was then pumped out, the
damaged part repaired, and towed to
Nashville.

Spiders Travelling hy Balloon.

A correspondent of the Scientific
American relates a singular incident.
Ia company with other persons he was
crossing Seneca Lake on the 10th of
October, when a small wake was seen
near the center of the lake, caused by
the moving of some insects. Upon in
yestigating the matter it was found that
three spiders were gliding over the sur
face of the water, and attached to them
was a single thread, the size Of a knit
ting needle, extending in the air to the
height of thi1t feet, at an angle of
sixty degrees, and terminating with an
enormous balloon shaped web. This
latter was judged to be eight feet long
and five feet wide, with stays fastened
to the maiu thread something similar
to those of balloon, and it was man.
aged, apparently by an innumerable
number of insects stationed at proper
intervals. The party assembled to OBJ
tain a closer view, but when within a
few feet OF the web il began to rise,
though the last spider, which proved
TO he about the size of horse fly, was
brought back by the stroke OF an oar.
The balloon went onward and upward
until lost to sight.

ming his eyes over the jury he didn't
like their looks, so he prepared an affida-
Wit for continuance, setting forth the
absence of a principal witness. He
read it in a whisper to the prisoner,
who, shaking his head said: esquire,
L can't swear that dokyment. Why2'
C Kase faint true" Old Shell infiat-

they complain that business Is exceed
ingiy dull One from Boston the other
day, having vainly endeavored to sell
anything the whole morning, went back
to his hotel, donned an old suit of
clothes, unpacked from his baggage a
hand organ, took his stand in front of
a store he had unsuccessfully visited,
and played popular pieces for hours.
He took very naturally to the business,
and being a handsome young fellow
was encouraged by numerous offerings
from appreciative ladies. Having taken
scventy-tive cents, he returned to his
hotel and resumed good clothes, re-
marking to comrade, Business is
very dull, but I've get to make living
somehow" He did the same thing iii
