Let 'em grow. Who cares.

Nashville Banner, 18th: The election
Of Joe Harvey, the negro constable Of
the thirteenth district, was declared null
and void by Judge Ferriss yesterday, his
bOndsmen having given him up on &C.
count OF his getting into difficulties
lately.
Morristown Gazette: The continual
heavy rains, il is feared, will damage
the wheat yet standing in the 'shock, {"
and our farmers are yet complaining
that their corn is growing so fast that
they will not be able to get up to it when
it natures, one remarking in our hear
ing, few days ago, that his corn was
now "thirteen feet in hight without
tassel or shoot"
COyingUon Record: Last Wednesday
evening a week ago, as Mr.. Harvey
| Smith, son of William Smith, of district
number eight, was returning from the
field during the thunder storm, he was
stricken down by lightning, and when
! found by his brothers was apparently
| dead. Their efforts at resuscitation
were, however, successful, and at latest
accounts he was in fair way of recOv-
ering.
Springfield Record: Mr.. Arch Bag
| gett, of our county, had his entire crop
Of tobacco eaten up by grssshOppers. He
| determined not to be outdOne; replant-
ed, and purchased forty young turkeys,
which soon devoured the hoppers. We
| learn that he is now hiring his turkeys
out at one dollar day, and that they
have had steady employment at that
! price ever since he had them, and many
of his neighboTs are awaiting their turn.
Knoxville Chronicle: We learned a
| few days ago that Mr.. Jim Johnson, of
| Trundle's y Roads, has discovered silver
| on his farm, in considerable quantity.
There are quantities of a particular
stone on his and adjoining farms, and
Mr.. johnson, entertaining an idea that
they contained silver, smelted one
about the size of his fist, in blacksmith
shop, and received of the precious metal
to the amount, in value, of two dollars.
We understand he had the metal tested
by competent judges, who pronounced it
silver.
Waynesboro Citizen: Several days
ago gentleman, living not far from
Wayne furnace, brought small piece of
metal to town and gave it to us. 1t
had every appearance Of silver, and we
sent it to Nashville to be submitted TO an
assayist. We received an answer few
days ago, and were assured that the
specimen was undoubtedly silver.
We understand that there is an
abundance of this ore lying on the
surface of the ground where this WAS
found. In its crude state it is mixed
with lead, which was melted by the
gentleman who found it.
