HYdrOnhOhfa.

Mr.. Henry Fogg's yard was visited
one day last week by frothing, snap
ping mad-dog, whose eyes blazed with
the wild fury that characterized his
condition. Helnade a furious attack on
two negroes in Mr.. Fogg's yard who
exhibited remarkable activity in put
tinga fence between themselves and their
mad foe. He attempted to climb the
fence, but well directed blow from one
of the nimble darkies, with a rock,
changed his direction, and he made at
Mr.. Fogg, whose unering rifle arrested
che mad career OF the Infatuated animal
just as he began, fully, to realize the
terrible ugliness of front view of
his deadly assailant.
This occurred in the track of the dog
that visited Aspen Hill and vicinity two
years ago, creating an excitmcnt that
is well remembered. And it behOOves
others living on that track to keep watch
full eyes Oa their CANNES.
A mad dog is a terrible brute and is
more to be dreaded because his attacks
are unexpected, and upon those who
are usually unable to protect themselves.
They are becoming uncomfOrtably
plenty in late years, and are no longer
a Evolutionary horror, but real, rush
ing, maddened, death-dealing reality,
that we are liable to encounter every
day, and yet dog tax does not make
every bOdyl happy.

THE COLD SPELL.
The Wheat Damaged and
Fruit ali Gone.

On Friday and Saturday nights las
we were visited by remarkable spell OF
weather for the time of year. On Sat
urday morning ice was plentiful every
where, and great alarm was felt for the
wheat crop, which in this section is
very large and promising. Almost
double the acreage was sown last fall,
and our expectations were not only
great as TO the result, but our bread
and almost our pecuniary salvation de-
pended upon it. The alarm, therefore
amounted to CONSERVATION when it was
understood that the early wheat was all
kiliel. For the time fruits and garden
vegeta bles were lost sight of in the
general alarm for the wheat crop.
Thorough investigations, however, on
Sunday and Monday. revealed the fact
that the damage was not near so great
as was at first apprehended. We have
made it special duty to inquire of prac-
teal farmers from all sections of the
country, and find that the crop is not
damaged perhaps more than one-tenth.
The early wheat in some locations was
damaged one-fOurth, while in others
only slightly, while the great bulk of
late wheat is unhurt. This settled, we
turned our attention to the fruits, and
the universal verdict is that it is all
gone. We heard one man say that he
would pay $50 each for peaches this
summer, raised in Giles. We hope it is
not so bad as that, but there is no doubt
but the crop will be exceedingly light.
The same news reaches us by telegraph
from all sections from the Ohio river
south. We might gTieve over this loss
the more were we not so thankful for
the safety of the wheat, the destruction
OF which would have brought with it
such widespread sorrow and suffering.
Should no future calamity overtake it
the crop will be the largest ever har-
vested in this county.

Meeting of the Bar.

At a meeting of the members Of the
Pulaski bar and officers of the court,
held in the Circuit Court room, on this
9Th day of April, 1875, James Mccall
lum was called to the chair and Henry
NJ. Stanley appointed Secretary.
The object of the meeting being ex-
planned, on motion, the chair appointed
Col. Scion Z. Rose, Thomas III. Jones,
and Noble SmithSon a committee to re-
port resolutions expressive of the sense
Of the meeting. The committee, after
consideration, presented the following

HILL AND BALLENTINE.
What They have Done, and
What they are now Doing.

We venture to assert that the house
OF Hill and Ballentine, of Pulaski, do a
more extensive business than any
house IN Tennessee outside Of the cities.
At present they occupy a store room
TO feet long, with cellar, and Ind and
sra stories, besides two large ware
houses, one about so Y 40 and the
other about 25XS0, aud all this room
Is absolutely necessary TO accommodate
their extensive and still growing trade.
Purchases are made direct and in bulk
from importers and manufacturers, a
recent purchase alone in one market,
for instance, filling fifteen cars, a0d
the sales of last year amounting to the
enormous sum Of $4,000.
Their immense stock of goods is
necessarily classified very systemati-
cally, in order that they may be hand
led with facility and without the en-
plOyment of too many men. They are
enabled to do this very thoroughly by
the iudiciOus use of their various and
extensive compartments as follows ::
The cellar is stored with molasses,
syTups, lard, sugar in hhds, etc. The
first floor is used as a sample and sales
room, the rear end of which is stored
with bacon, oils, etc. The second floor
IS stored with seeds, leather, tobacco,
AOut3 HdSOl L1dbCIldle9 Cue 4uC IAlEU
floor with light goods. such as spades,
shovels, forks, crockeryware, hollow
ware, etc. The small warehouse is
used for the storage of wheat, corn,
plows, etc, while the large warehouse
stores cotton, hay, wagons, heavy agri-
cultural implements, machinery, etc.
Besides the proprietOrs, eight men are
employed, including two efficient por-
tiers. In the office Mr.. Lasseter pre-
sides, and in the salesrOom Messrs. j.
l.. Nelson, II. X. BIannon, and George
Hill. In the tobacco department we
find Messrs. A. G. Haley and w. p. Tut,
whose sales annually amount to more
than a thousand boxes. The hardware
department is also an important and
extensive feature, and though the pur-
chases,,and sales in all of the departments
are large, the browning feature of the
house is its accommodations to farmers
1t is furnishing them bacon, corn, flour,
hay, ETC., and waiting till crops are
made for the money. Since the first of
January, their purchases of bacon and
bulkmeats have amounted to over 1885,
900 pounds, most of which has been
sold to farmers in this way. We have
considered this brief notice due to the
public no less than to Messrs. Hill g.
Ballehtine, and that we are justified ia
it no less by their enterprise in business
than by their liberality in advertising.

Hon. Thomas w. Turley.

PULASKI, April Sth, 1870.
Mr.. EDITOR: ThejurOrs at the recent
term of our Circuit Court desired to
give some public expression of their
high appreciation of the able and
worthy presiding judge during said
term, but the entire trial docket of the
court being disposed of much sooner
than we anticipated, prevented an OPP
portunity for so doing before adjourn
ment; and now, by request of many OF
my fellow jurors, l wish to say that IT
appeared to be the unanimous senti-
ment of all that the Hon. Thomas w.
Turley has but few, if any, superiors
among the many able jurists In our
State, and that by his kind and courte-
ols department toward the jurors, otii-
GERS and attorneys of the court, and
also the prompt and impartial manner
in which he presided on the bench has
made for him an enviable reputation in
our county.
We also feel it to be our duty to eX-
press approval of the worthy subordin-
ate officers of said court. No county in
/ the state has better Circuit Court
Clerk than Henry NJ. Stanley; he Is al
ways prompt, correct, faithful and oo-
! liging. And with regard to Capt. X A
/ Mitchell, we can say without any hesl-
tation that he is a number one Sheriff IN
every respect, and prompt in the dis
charge OF all his official duties.

Ar. EditOr:-There is an absolute
4 dearth of news about this one of the
ends OF the earth. People are generally
staying at home, and attending to their
/ business instead of getting up matters
/ of interest for CORES pOHdents. A few
/ of the sons and daughters of our very
/ great uncle Ham are dribbling off, day
] by day, to the territories, but they are
of the kind of which we can say, the
loss of them is great gain. One with
his family started a day or two ago
with a reserved capital of five dollars
and eight hens, of which four died on
the way to the depot. Finding the
five dollars would not take them ali
the way he, compromised on Pleasant
Grove eight miles north.
One of their preachers who had gone
to the land of promise, returned a few
days ago and gave them such a bad ac-
count of the prospects that after preach
ing was over he ran some risk of being
mobbed as an emissary of the whites.
The Preshyterians had a sacrament
tai meeting embracing the 2nd Sabbath
The attendance was large. Every one
who breaches here notices how remark
ably well behaved the congregations
are. The farmers were too busy to
justify continuing the service, but MIR.
Alexander OfCornersVille who preached
gave universal satisfaction. There is
the greatest interest felt every where in
the country in the meeting at Pulaski,
and a strong hope that there will be
corresponding good done elsewhere. It
is said by those who make these things
their study, that religious interest al
ways follows times of great pecuniary
depression, for the reason that men are
brought to see the vanity of things
earthly. Taking this view of the sub
iect, there are few places better pre-
pared for a good work than this. For
we hope that few are in such degree
of impecuniosity.
We have heard it said that our hand
some friend, William Smith, 1--WE are JUS
titled by the facts in thus complimenting
him, fol he bears strong resemblance
to ourselves, } is about to put up a resi-
dence at this place and open boarding
house, but we think the rumOr a little
premature, and that neither he nor
Mack Waggstaf are yet hespoken. So
that if any tight little steam ting comes
along and takes either of them in tow,
such tug has good chance of pulling
a fine young man, Mack is handsome
too, although he does not resemble u.s.
into the gulf of matrimOny.
On Saturday, 18th, while most of the
family were at church, the house Of
Mr.. Simeon Cannon was found to be in
flames. His daughter was the only
member of the white family at home,
and the loss was complete. House,
barn, meat-hOuse, corn, prOVender, ev-
erything in a few minutes was de-
stroyed. One or two beds, and two
drawers out of a bureau, were all that
remained to the unfortunate family,
out of previous abundance. The suffer
ers are so worthy and upright, and 50
helpless, very old man and two daugh-
tiers, that intense sympathy is expressed
for them. I. L. n.

hunched each other, and at last subsidized
so that Col Rogers could be heard. He
blandly informed the audience that Mr.
