Meeting of the Board of stewards
and Trustees

The Methodist church was burned Mon.
day evening. At a meeting of the Board OF
Stewards and Trustees, after dark the same
evening, the Smith Brothers very generous
ly rendered the use of the AthenRum Hall
to the Methodist congregation to Worship
in. Their proffer was accepted in the fol-
lowing resolution:
ResotCed, That, by fatal accident we have
lost our church building, and have no place
to worship, and the Smith Brothers having
rendered us the use of their Hall, we here
by accept the same. That as the officers OF
the church and representatives of the con-
gregation, we return our most sincere and
heartfelt thanks to the Smith Brothers for
their kind offer and Christian spirit in an
hour of need and sore trouble. That our
best wishes attend them and their institu-
ton through life.
On the day after the fire the representa-
t1ves of the Presbyterian church came for
ward and i'll very generous and Christian
spirit offered the use of their church to the
MethodistS part of the time. The Smith
Brothers offer having been previously ac-
cepted, the following resolution was adopt
ed:
ResolUed, That we return expressions of
our unfeigned gratitude to our Presbyterian
friends for their noble and selt-sacrificing
proposition; and, that committee of TWO,
composed OLA. S. Horsley and H. =. Figuers,
be appointed to call upon our Presbyterian
friends to express our thanks. Also, to in
form them that we not only willingly but
gladly accept the proposition TO hold joint
prayer meetings with them at their church
on their usual nights.

SILVER CREEK ITEMS.

Nobody doing anything towards
farming on the creek, except putting up
fences and water-gaps that the creek
has swept away. Silver Creek was
higher on Wednesday of last week,
than it has been since 1854.
Park & Carr are doing big business
with their steam saw mill. Mr.. Carr
said they had bill of lumber to cut for
a firm in Cincinnati of rs, 900 feet and he
had it all cat but 10000. Parks & Carr
think they can get it to the depot at
Hurricane by the next train, as our new
road master, Mr.. Hilary Wright has put
the road in splendid order from Parks
store to Nat Moore's Mills.
Mr.. Jesse Jones says he has the Chip
po," and if the railroad was to come
along and give him depot on his land,
it would surely kill him.
Mr.. VIM. Park is still working after
his silver up on Duck River, and he
said that he had to make two blasts and
he could bring it out by wagon loads.
Mr.. J. j. Bryant has been elected to
carry the lock-box over this district, and
when he is carrying it around, if he
don mind, the old black spider will
break his webb again.
John Rodgers has made q spinning
wheel to sit down to spin upon, and he
says that any body that can spin at all,
can spin two and half cuts per hour.
The boys up here can go to see the girls
by the dozens if they choose, as our
writer has quit the business OF writing
for the public, and gone to writing for
for couple at Mooresville.
Two young men started for the North
of Duck River to ask for girl; both of
them missed the ford and had to take
swim for it, but making the landing on
the other side, they had to take to the
cedars and build a fire and dry their
clothes before they could go to the
house. One of them said he did not care
for the wetting if the old man just would
give him the girl.
We have so much rain on our creek,
that acme of Cur farmers hang their
plows and hoes up in a tree when they
quit work at night, to try and keep
them from washing away.
Duck River was raftable on Friday OF
last week and so was Fountain Creek.
A RAFT went down the creek at Kerr's
old mill. 1t was said to be Liverpool
plank raft, with only three men on it.
The railroad is coming at last. "That's
all right, come ahead and just give me
depot close to my house'-so every man
SAYS. There was a man up here last
week hunting houses and something to
subsist upon, both for man and beast,
while at work on the railroad.

HAMPSHIRE ITEMS

Mr.. James Scribner has recently be-
come partner with Pugh & Pogue in
the dry goods trade. They have just re-
ceived heavy stock of goods and are
selling rapidly.
According to previous arrangement a
question OF Importance was discussed
between the Hampshire Debating IDsti-
tute, and the Swan Creek Club on last
Saturday night and the leading spirits
of the former were j. w. Hensley,
Daniel McCannon, and w. 7. Ussery.
The Swan disputants failing to come,
Hon. Dent Pennington, Maj. James II /.
Akin, and Mr.. VIM. Brooks took their
side of the question. A large crowd
was much amused until eleven o'clock
tor Mr.. Dent always keeps his hearers
awake, and on this occasion he had his
match in the person of young j. w.
Hensley, student of the Academy. AL
though called upon unexpectedly, Mr.
Brooks, and the Major made sound, logi-
cal, and entertaining speeches.
The question was, -"Resolyed that
the life, property and liberty of person
is more secure in monarchical govern
ment- absolute or limited-than in a re-
publican government"
Mr.. McClanahan was President,
Messrs Hall, Lavender, and Nixon were
Judges.
Died on Wednesday last in this place,
Conner, infant son of Alex. and Mrs.
Addie Pogue. Also daughter OF Wash
ington Lilies, east of this place, died of
consumption on last Thursday
The candidates met here last Satur-
day, and many Ofthem spoke vehement
ly and all were unusually familiar and
friendly. AS to who lost or gained
most by their effort here is hard to deter
mine. All pleasantly past till latein the
evening some had stimulated too highly
and became little boisterous, but the
imperative presence of the Sheriff
suppressed it at once.
The recent rise of the waters has sur
passed any that has been witnessed
since. The damage is dreadful, and
farmers are awfully behind with their
work.
Prof. Goshen of Mt. JOY Academy
exhibited with his Magic Lantern, and
lectured in the Hampshire Academy
on last Friday night, and the people
were we'll pleased, and richly enters
tanned.

FOUNTAIN GREER ITEMS.

Mr.. E. z. Fraser preached at the Chris
tian church liz this place recently. He
preached the 9th chapter of Hebrews.
The burthen of his sermon was to show
the antetypes under the Christian disN
pensation of the types under the Jewish
economy. The subject was very ably
handled. Mr.. Fraser is quite a young
man, and is destined to make his mark
as pulpit orator. His sermons show
him to be man of hard mental labor
from the way he has everything SYSTEM
atized. He lives on the north side of the
river. He breaches at this place once a
month.
The farmers set apart last week to do
big weeks work and were sadly dis
appointed. 1t commenced raining on
Monday and rained almost continually
until Thursday night. The conse~
quence was not much work done.
Mr.. j. III. F. Henderson, of this vicin-
ity, had every one of his sheep killed,
one night recently, by the dogs.
j. III. Addison has been quite sick
recently, but is now convalescent. NJ.
c. Higdon at deaths door with
inflammatory rheumatism recently.

,,oro Abou, ,he Freshe,.

Mr.. John b. Ashton was in his mill
when it moved off, getting out some
flour ioF his own use. He approached
the mill in a skif, apd got in at win
dow under the shed, which covered the
front part of his mill. When he found
the mill was going, he sprang TO the
window and Jumped into his skiff. The
shed overhead was fastened to the
ground and TO the mill, and when the
latter started of, the shed pulled loose
aud dropped to the water. 1t missed
Mr.. Ashton about six inches. He
dropped down into the skiff, which was
knocked out into the swift current and
followed tue mill. Mr.. Ashton got in a
canoe, and with one Of his hired men,
Bud Paul, followed the mill. He got on
the wreck after it had been knocked in
to pi by the Columbia bridge, and was
saving his wheat, when it run over some
sycamore trees Just above the mouth of
Rutherford creek. To save his life, he
iumped into the top of a sycamore tree,
which was bent down by the immense
raft. When the mill got off, the tree
sprang back and Mr.. A. left away up
in the top of it. Be remained in this
exceedingly uncomfortable position for
three-quarters of an hour, whea he was
rescued by Al. Hughes. The mill kept on
and struck the middle pier of the bridge
on the Santa Fe pike and lodged, Part of
the mill struck the bridge and moved it
down the river from its position about
two feet. Ewing Irvine jumped aboard
of the mill, and with other assistance,
1--WE do not know by whom) saved forty
busheis of wheat and considerable flour.
We are told thst some person Whose
name Mr.. 4. did not divplge) came
aboard of the mill and put large num-
Der of sacks of wheat into his canoe, and
told Dir. Ashton that he might have the
empty sacks Mr.. A. replied that he
might have them zoo. There is no young
man in the county who is more highly
or more universally esteemed than Jno.
B. Ashton, and everybody, without ex-
ception, expressed deep sympathy for
him in his loss. Some OF our most SUBJ
stantial men have offered MIN all the as
sistance he may need, but fortunately
he will be able to rebuild Immediately
without having to call for much if any
assistance. he will build the mill far
Their out in the stream, upon higher
abutments. He estimated his actual
loss ut 81, 900, but OF course it is much
greater loss TO him.

BEAR CREEK ITEMS.
a GRANGE.

Il
Capt. Ben. a. Rodgers, of Spring Hill
organized Grange at Mt. Olivet, Mon
| day night the 9Th inst. Although the
night was black and murky, the rain
came down in torrents and the vivid
lightning shot with unceasing activity
through the gloom and presented to the
gaze momentarily the broad sheet of
wat er rushing to our little stream, while
the deep peals of thunder followed sim
ultaneously each vivid glare--with all
these "unfavorables," there were enough
in attendance to organize But the
gloom of night was dispelled by the ap-
prOach of day before the newly made
Changers reached their homes. The fol-
lowing officers were elected and INSTALL

him one day Last week and threw him
on snag, infiicting painful flesh
wound on one of his legs. The flesh
was bruised and larcerated in fright
full manner.
OUR ROAD.
The recent heavy rains have made
our impossible road three degrees above
impossible, which is sight worse than
anything the Imagination of the wicked
one can conceive OF. Our road is as bad
in the same degree, as that man was a
fool who swore he could rinse the Mis-
sissippi out and hang it out on pole to |
dry.
MERITED PUNISHMENT.
The other morning, just about day, a |
loud clap of thunder caused John |
Carr to jump ont of his bed. |
Walking about hundred yards from |
the house, he discovered that cherry
tree had been struck, and in a few feet |
of the tree, rabbit lay warm, yet dead.
The rabbit had feasteG sumptuOusly on |
vegetables all night in the garden, and |
had Just finished his break fast and got |
out of the garden, when he was overtak- |
en- by the punishment he deserved.
DIGGING FOR A THUNDER-BOLT.
At the roots of the cherry-sroe de- |
scribeG above, q little son of n. +. Carr,
Albert Sidney Johnston, was seen dig
ging with hoe. When asked what he
was digging for, he replied, "For the
thundersbolt that split the tree and
killed the rabbit"
