Mckenzie (Tenn.) Times: "Collector
Hawkins. of this district, made heavy seizure
of tobacco at Paris on the fifth instant, the
property of NJ. V. y. Valentine, of that place.
1t seems that in making his report Gr. Nalen-
tine did not give in a large amount of tobacco
that he had disposed of, but reported IL still
on hand. When Deputy Collector Hawkins
and assistant went to the factory to verify the
report, they found several piles of boxes
marked and branded all right, purpOrtlng to
hold SO much tobacco, but upon tapping them
Lightly with pencil as he was taking the
numbers down, revealed the fact that they
Were empty. The property seized consists OF
eighteen thousand pounds OF manufactured
tobacco, eighteen thousand pounds Of leaf to-
bacco, machinery, presses. etc. This is the
heaviest seizure made in this district.
Bolivar (Tenn.) Bulletin, February
9th: "Great damage has been done to the
Mississippi Central railroad by high water
within the last few days, and the consequent
detention and irregularity of trains are very
great. Three hundred yards of the road have
been washed away at Tallahatchie, and the
water is now over it to such an extent as to
preclude the possibility of repairing It. Other
breaks not so serious have occurred this week
on the road. 1t is feared by some Of the en-
ployes of the road that break may occur
daring the present rise in the levee across
Ratchie bottom. Trains only run south from
this place to Holly Springs, but make regular
trips through TO Cairo, SIS the road north is
now all right. There is, of course, great irreg-
ularity in the arrival and departure of mails.
Some light express packages lave reached
here from the south by the way OF Memphis,
and unless the mails are brought by the same
route, there will be very little mail matter
from New Orleans for several days. The re-
pairs on the road will doubtless be made as
rapidly as possible under the circumstances,
and the trains will be running on schedule
time in a very few days. The weather is now
cold and clear, and there is every indication
that the waters will soon run down."
