roads.

No Serious Damage as Yet to Rail-
roads.
The heavy rain that has continued TO
pour down necessarily for the last four or
five days has done considerable damage TO
property along the banks of rivers and
creeks, some of which have risen over their
banks. Tennessee river is reported to be
rising rapidly, and Duck river is said to be
higher than it has been for years. A large
quantity of drift can be seen floating down
the Cumberland, and ''woOd-catchers' are
ayailing themselves of the opportunity and
are laying in a good stock of it. No dam
age has been done to any of the railroads
leading into the city, but it is feared that if
the rain continues, serious injury will
be sustained by them. Superintendent
Thomas having learned that there was a
quantity of water III the railroad track two
miles on this side of Huntingdon on the
Nashville and Northwestern railroad, had
the passenger train due here yesterday
morning at Z O'Clock stopped at Hunting
don, where it remained during the night
and did not arrive here until shortly before
one O'Clock yesterday. The wafer was
from six to twelve inches deep on the
track and stretched for half a mile. 1t had
receded when the train passed over yester-
day. The trains on the other roads arrived
here yesterday on time.

1t would be a gracefulac act if the Eng
hsh heirs should ask Stanley to edit
these notes. No one is better acquainted
with the subject, and it would link
Stanley's name with thatof Livingstone
in a deserved recognition of imminent
dangers shared together.

An Alteration.

Two colOred men named L. Richards and
Peter McGavock were arrested yesterday
for asSaulting each other. They got into a
difficulty over some trivial matter, McGav-
ock being drunk and acting in a disorderly
manner. Robards drew a pistol, but was
prevented from shooting, and McGavock
drew a knife, but he was also prevented
from doing any bodily injury to his antago-
mist by the Intervention of other parties.

Rooster ReRleyiued.

Quite an interesting and amusing re-
pleyin suit was levied before Justice Ev-
erett yesterday. 1t seems from the testi-
mony elected in the investigation that one
darkey got a rooster belonging TO another
negro into his possession. The rooster was
valued at twenty-five cents. The negro
who sued out the replevin warrant had to
pay two dollars cost, but he gained the suit
and the rooster was restored to him. The
negro from whom the rooster vas taken
said he would appeal to the Almighty and
see if he had not been wrongly treated.
The Justice remarked that he had better
carry the papers with him, as he might not
be present when the case would be taken
up in the higher court.

DIR. LIvINGsT0NE's DISCOVERIES

1t is to be hoped that the note books
DIR. Livingstone left IN Africa will be
recovered. If they are not, it is a mat
ter of congratulation that Stanley
brought home, under pledge to keep it
secret until Livingstone's return, the
record of discovery up to the date of
his departure. OF this Mr.. Stanley
writes to the London Meas:
1T is now asked what he has done
since he left England in 1866, and
whether all he has done will ever be
known, and howmucho of the knowledge
thought to be gained by his labor is
lost? To the first question l would
answer that a short resume Of his dis
~coveries, such as he gave me, and such
as l obtained from the study OF his
map has been already published. To
the second question: would a~nswerthat
a copious record Of his discoveries, ex-
tending over a period of SIX years,
which / broughtto England2 I'd August,
1872, is safe IN the handsof MISS Agnes
