An esteemed correspondent gives Us de-
scription of new barn recently erected by
Capt. j. NJ Kidd, who lives on Tugalo River,
some three or four miles below the hourishing
village of Fair Play: SIT is located on slight
eminence in sight of the Tugalo river, fifty by
sixty feet in dimensions; passage on the
lower floor sufficiently large to drive loaded
wagon through, with stalls on either side, and
carriage house at one end-the upper story
being solid floor, well ventilated by large
windows and doors. If some of our farmers
could only see it, they would be surprised what
little energy and effort can do" Capt. Kidd
was raised in East Tennessee, and no doubt
believes that capacious and well constructed
barn is one of the prime necessities of thriv-
ing farmer. We trust he is giving the country
q good example in raising clover and other
grasses, as our correspondent alludes to his
advanced system of farming, and the use of
improved implements of the husbandman.
Mr.. w. ]. Harbin is running steam saw
mill at Townville, and informs one of our
correspondents that he saws from 1000 to 5000
feet of lumber per day. Mr.. Stribling, who is
connected with the mill, says that they cannot
near supply the demand, which speaks we'll for
the Fork and its improvement in building
The introduction of steam mills throughout
the County is great convenience to persons
wishing lumber for building purposes, and we
are told that every section where these mills
are established shows at once the spirit of pro-
gress among the people The renovation of
old buildings and erection of new ones is the
surest indication of thrift and prosperity.
A Texas correspondent writes May 1st from
Travis County, near Austin, as follows: Il
want to see one honest Radical officer. hope
and believe Gov. Chamberlain is one, and am
much pleased with him so far, but we would
not exchange Gov Coke for any Radical Our
politics are good, but we are working under
miserable Constitution. am proud to see the
prospect for new cotton factory by the Grang-
ers. This State has great many Oranges, but
not ia. such working order as some of the older
States Our crop prospects are very good ;
corn is from half leg to knee high, and looking
we'll cotton looks badly, but we have good
stands. We will commence thinning to-mor-
row morning. had Irish potatoes the 2Sth of
of April Gardens are looking finely in many
places, although we have had much north
wind and frost, but no killing frost since the
18th of February Wheat and oats are looking
splendidly, and promise good yield"
A correspondent in Tishomingo County,
Miss, sends q remedy for chicken cholera,
which has been tried, by his neighbors with
great success: "Take sewing awl and pierce
hole under the skin on top of the head, just
behind the comb; pull feather out of the
tail. and stick it in the awl-hole, which should
be made across the head. Move the feather
once each day for three days, and it is said the
remedy will never fail" The plan is simple,
and our correspondent assures us that it is
perfect cure. He says the recent mention of
chicken cholera prevailing in this section in
duced hin, to forward the receipt for the benefit
of his old friends in Anderson, particularly the
Methodist preachers. This is repetition OF
an old slander which we cannot endorse, Tor
we are quite confident that the taste for tired
chicken" is not restricted to ministers OF any
nersuasion, nor indeed to the clerical fraternity,
for we know of more than one editor, tor in
stance, whose propinquity for the teathered
tribe at tender age is fully developed and
strongly manifested on all occasions.
