TERRIBLE STORM.
Particulars or the Bursting or n
Observation-Disclosures Less Of
Life and Properly.

SAN FRANCISCO, July Pa dis
patch from Eureka gives particulars Of
the storm yesterday. 1t had been raining
with great violence from early in the
morning till noon, when a cloud burst on
the lofty range of mountains to the east
ward, and a vast volume of water rushed
down the canon, where the town is loca>
ted. The eastern part Of the town was
flooded in ten minutes by a fearful rash
Of water, which was constantly increasing
in violence, depth, and impetuosity. The
people in that portion of the place were
hemmed in, and every moment houses
we're torn from their foundations and
swept away with their occupants.
Ropes were procured and a line formed,
and brave men thus protected dashed into
the torrent and saved many lives.
Only a few women and lchildren we're
lost. The body of one Miss Bray, was
recover. Rodger Robmett, reporter of
the Sentinel, was drowned. The SENT
mel office was swept away. Bodies are
being brought to the courthouse as fast
as recovered. Three Cinnamon were lost.
Thirty houses were swept away, and all
that part of the town in which were
situated the dance-houses and other places
of amusement is gone. The food lasted
only half an hour. The total loss Of life
is not yet known, but it is believed that
it will reach twenty-five or thirty, The
weather is still threatening.

OBITUARY.

DAVID FINE, Sen., Departedthis life a
his residence three miles south of Jones,
boro; on the 10th, day of July 1874.
He was born in 1915 in Washington
County East Tennessee. He made a pro-
fession Of religion and joined the Baptist
Church at Cherokee in 1912. A few years
after. he was appointed Deacon of the
Church, which position he held until the
day Of his death. He was..a gooS citizen,
kind neighbor and worthy and affectioDate
father, generally esteemed and believed
to be a q christian, and a great sympathizer
with other denominations, and a lover Of
all christians, after talking Of the joys and
pleasures of the world to come. He was
often chosen by the church and sent as a
delegate to the Holston Baptist Association
to aid liz that council. While the sudden
call. and the bereavement to the friends
the deceased is heavy, they should ever
be consoled and comforted knowing that
he is gone to that Association above where
congregations live forever and Sabbath
never end.
II should ever be remembered that
while one seat in the..family here if vacant
that God who rules and reigns both in
heaven and in earth, has called one of
his redeem ed to that rest prepared for his
children. And to those who are left in
mourning and sorrow weep and mourn
not live SO as to meet him who is gone
in that happy country where all is we'll.

FARMERS.

Having visited many of the farmers OF
this county at their homes during the last
few weeks, we are pleased to note their
prosperity, and the improvements they
are making in their business. We find
them almost to a man, kind, generous,
and full of life and energy. They have
been favored this year with bountiful crops
Of wheat and are rejoicing over their suc>
cess. The late rains will also enable
them to make large crops Of corn. The
corn has been well cultivated and most of
the fields are clear of weeds, brier and
sprouts. Many Of the citizens are also
favored with enough fruit for family use
Being blest as they are with these favors
they certainly can rejoice and return
thanks to HIM who rules above for the
favors they have received. J
There is no class ofmen that we are more
anxious to see succeed in business than
the tillers of the soil. To them we must
look for trade and supplies. Ever since
the establishment Of our paper we have
worked faithfully to their interests in ev-
cry movement that we thought was cal
culated to advance their prosperity. To
them the columns of this paper has been
offered time and again through which they
have interchanged their ideas as to the
best and most advantageous plans Of
farming, and we hope they will continue
to faver us with their communications.

Experience has ever proven that it is
better to submit to, and overlook indi>

the whole country is imperiled, it be-
comes the imperitiye duty Of all men, as
law abiding citizens, to adopt such meas,
ures, and make such changes as will guars
antee 10 them present and future security.
BY reference to the records Of the County
Court, you will find that there has been a
failure OH the part Of the Registers here.
tofore to perform their duty : and by this
failure the county has been put to o con-
siderable expsnce. You will find also
that there was an appropriation made by
the county court, Of over fifty dollars for
indexing the two last volumes Of the Reg
ister's books and not only the two last,
but the county has had to pay to have all
the books indexed. go 1tt f.
Now, gentlemen, this isa fraud upon
the people of the county, and there, is an
easy remedy to remove this fraud. 1t is
the duty of the Register to- index the
books, and he should perform his duty.
and what ~propriety is there in the people
paying an officer to attend to the business
Of an Office, and then the county being
put to the expence of paying for it the sec.
ond time. t.-
If l have the honor to be elected TO the
Office Of Register, I propose to attend to
the business that may come into my
hands and index the same. 4 ,5H I
