KILLED.-We understand that a
man named BruH was killed near
Skull-bone, seven miles from Trenton,
ON Tuesday last. We have heard
that Bruf has been living ia Arkansas
for some time past, where he had com
mitted some offence against the laws.
During his trial in that State he es-
capped from the courthouse and fed
to Tennessee. a requisition was OBJ
tanned for him. aud the Arkansas of
ficers went to the house of Brufl's
father, who lives in Gibson county at
the point named above, and in the eff
fort to arrest him, killed him and also
wounded his father.

ToMArOEs.-The tomato vines are
vet green and thrifty, and if they
"~re 70 be pulled up by the roots,
leaving as much soil thereon as pos
sible and placed in a cellar. the young
tomatoes would ripen as wen as if
they were growing in the sun. This
experiment has been tried by one of
our neighbors who can demonstrate
the fact stated above, TO any one who
is iucredulous.

GARDENING An old citizen in
forms us that this is the very best
time in all the year to do some kinds
of garden work The spring season
with US is nearly always wet, and de-
lays work. The fall on the other
hand is generally dry. The ground
can now be put in good order, and
there are several crops that can be ad-
vAntageously planted. Onions ought
to be planted this month. Potatoes
should be planted just before cur real
winter begins, say in November or
December. Cabbage seed can also
be planted. 1t is best to cover ali
these vegetables with straw or leaves,
but cotton seed is best Of all. The
potatoes and onions will be taking
root during the winter, and when the
ground becomes warm in the spring
will commence growing rapidly about
the time that the ordinary gardner
is planting his seed.

TIE ECLIPSE On Saturday night
last about y o'clock, the eclipse of
the moon began, the shadow of the
earth, (which men call night,
passing over it in a western direction.
The night was one of exceptional
brilliancy and the moon was looking
its very best. as if conscious Of the
magnitude Of the occasion. From
the beginning to the end of the eclipse
the time was about two hours. During
what was called the total phase, the
moon was distinctly visible, but wore
reddish coppery hue, which was
the result OF refraction. In other
words the light of the sun showing
on che outer edges Of the coue-shaped
shadow of the world, served 10 keep
the moon plainly visible, Just as the
light of the sun after IL has set, for a
considerable while continues to iuu-
inmate the earth and make the sun
seem visible. In speaking of this eclipse
q writer describes the effect rs fol-
lows: ION Saturday night u bright
sun illumiued screen viii be passed
across our midnight armament, Will
be blotte1 out In mid-heaven. and
emerge into light again before reach
ing the western sky-aud all for what?
To prove to US that the great shadow
of the earth is really there in the
night; that the mighty cone of shade,
based on the circle Of the world, rising
through the air and through space, is
ever poised in the night heavens, and
wants but q screen on which to fall
to make itself as visible rs sunset
shadows on a WESTERN wall. With
such q screen covering our night sky,
we should see the worlds slad ow,
ike black sun, traYesrying The mo-
tons of that Iuminary-rising as he
set, setting as he rose in mid-hesven
at midnight, and running high or
low, as he ran low or high But, with
such a screen, there would be no
night. Illuminated by bright sun
light everywhere except at the solita-
~ spot where the earth's shadow
fell, the night sky would be as If filed
with full moons. So perhaps it Is as
well, on the whole, that the only
screen we have IS a small one, and
one that seldom wanders into that
portion OF the heavens Pre-empted,
Tor the nonce, by the earth's shadow.
Our satellite thus takes much less
time than We eau consume when
through the shadows of the world
we sweep into the younger day. but
il must be reco1ected that we traverse
the cone at its base, where 1t is eight
thousand miles across, while the
moon on Saturday night has but
about five thousand miles to cross,
and plunges through it at q speed of
nearly thirty miles a minute y

CAUGHT \ TARTAR.-Last week Ar.
William Walker of Haywood county,

started from his home to Reel Foot
Lake, where he proposed to spend a
few days in fishing and hunting
While passing through dyer com
ty. the wagon was halted BY two
white men armed with shot guns. Mr..
Walker had placed loaded guns in his
wagon, but with view of prevent
ing accidents had left them uncapped.
This circumstance made his FIRE arms
useless for sudden conjunctures, but
instead Of tamely surrendering as he
was expected to do, he seized ham
mer and leaping out Of his wagon at
tackled his enemies. As he did SO one
of them fired ut HIM but missed him.
In a moment he had knocked both OF
them down. He then tied them, with
the assistance of the negro, placed
them in the wagon, took them TO
Dyersburg and lodged them in Jail.

TIE STAGE, ErC.-The stage at the
/ Opera House IS spacious, aud the ap-
proach to It IS from rooms in ther rear,
which are reached from Main street.
The scenery IS new and good, and the
machinery works smoothly aud noise
Iessly. The pictorial representations
Of imaginary cities, palaces, cham
bers, lakes and castles have been got
temp without regard to cost. Near
II four hundred opera chairs, besides
other accommodations on the floor.
and in the gallery have been provided.
A chandelier with sixteen large burn
ers foods the hall with an artificial
day, and the ceilings, walls and win
dovs reflect credit on the architects.
While the spectator IS impressed with
the almost metropolitan elegance of
the building, there is nothing CANDY,
or to speak in common parlance there
is no gingerbread in the designs.
The sense Of something new, unhal-
lowed and cold does not chill the visi-
tor, and every one feels that Jackson
has a last public Han, that will com
pare forceabIy with the best in the
country. With good taste the drop
curtain is made to represent a lake
surrounded by mountains, and IN the
midst of the lake there is an island
and castle, and this the painter told
us was tIo prison Of Chillon. Above
the curtain IS a neat fresco of Shakes
peare in Stage dress, as he IS supposed
TO have appeared when he vas writing
and personating his own conceptions
at the Globe Theatre, all unconscious
that he was 70 be the autocrat Of the
stage in all time throughout the great
