New MARKET, Tenn, July 10, 1875
TO the Editors Of the Chronicle.
On last night our place was visited
by one of the most terrific storms
within the recollection of the "oldest
inhabitaut.n The cit ds gathered in
the west, and dividing, portion
passed north ami portion south OF
u. All supposed the storm had passed
and the clouds had spent their force
but not so. The current OF wind
changing, brought the clouds again
from the north, accompanied by heavy
wind, hail aud a torrent of rain, last,
ing for about one hour and half. The
result may be briefly summed up
"thusly:' Large ponds of water re.
sembling lakes on a small scale formed
all over the country, covering gardens
and growing crops of corn. Lost
Creek was higher than ever known to
be, Notwithstanding the high water
marks of the floods of last spring.
Corn crops were blown down, and
fencing tumbled about generally.
Trees, both forest and fruit, were up
rooted. Two or three tees in the
yard of Gen. Brazelton were blown
across the house, but without damage
to the building; and about thirty other
trees were blown down in his yard.
Many shade trees along the main
street were blown down.
One small frame house in Ham
mond's Addition was blown from the
foundation one or two barns unroof-
ed, and the Masonic Hall, building
3OX6O feet, in an unfinished condition,
was blown down, presenting "A complete
mass of broken material.
The buildings connected with a
steam saw-mill, recently erected by
Messrs. Bunch d White, were com.
pletely demolished.
Corn and other crops were riddled
by the hail and so blown down that
where large and well advanced in
growth can not make over one-third OF
crop
The oat and wheat crops yet in shock
in the fields have received another
shock and, being greatly damaged

securing them from the damage of the
storm OF last night, so as to keep the
crop, save seed oats and have good
wheat cake, is rather diminished.
Persons in from the country report
heavy rainfall and some wind, but the
greatest fury of the storm seems to
have been let loose in New Market and
immediate vicinity.
The crops are generally exposed by
the amount Of fencing blown down
and farmers have rolled up their
sleeve, and N.,ieu in " to repair the
damages,

Use " Bowles' Improved Current
Water Wheel" in rebuilding your
mills on the rivers. High water will
not effect it, unless it be to increase its
power. You can build your mill far
above the reach of these terrible fresh
cts. Without dam or race it can give
any power you need. 1t is the cheap
est, and by far the safest power for
prOpelling machinery ever Invented.
Before rebuilding, call and examine
this wheel, or address, for further in

To the Editors Of the Chronicle:
Owing to so much rain for the last
ten days, quite number Of the farm
ers ale almost losing their wheat crops
by damaging in the fields. Every man
that owns farm should build him a
good barn and as soon as their grain
will do, stop everything else and put it
away. Some are hauling their wheat
in piles in the field and thre~ hing it
between showers, but wheat is badly
damaged. Corn crops look fine. l

COLUMBUS, Oct. 16.-Returns from the
whole State, not official, but considered
accurate and reliable, show the elec-
tion of the Republican State ticket by
majorities varying from 5000 on Lieuten-
ant Governor to about 5000 on Auditor
and Treasurer of State. The compila-
tion complete has been made only on the
vote for Governor, and Hayes majority
is found to be 5,041, which may be
changed hundred or so either way by
the official count.
Detailed returns on the full State
ticket from thirty-three counties have
been received and counted. These we
give in aggregated majorities. They
only serve to show how tho vote for the
different candidates compare with each
other, and taken in connection with the
full count made on Governor, serve TO

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.--An improve
ment in the condition of cotton during
the past month is indicated in Alabama,
Louisiana and Arkansas. The depreci.
alton in Mississippi is slight, from 08 to
96 per cent. occasioned by the equinoxial
storm. 1t wasted much fibre In South
ern Texas, reducing the State percent
age OF condition from 94 TO 50. In North
Carolina and Tennessee the weather du-
ring the month OF September was cold
and the harvest is late, with less favor
able prospects of top CROP. A reduce
tion Of the percentage OF Georgia from 76
| to II is caused by storm, and the in
creasing prevalence OF rust. South Car
Olina is three per cent. lower from the
same causes. In several counties Of
Florida the caterpillar has been inju-
ri0us. Taking a survey. of the whole
| field the reduction otcondition since the
| September return is an undoubted TACT,
though the depreciation is slight as COM
pared with the October returns Of last
year. Crop prospects are worse in
South Carolina, Georgia and Florida,
but decidedly better in all the States
| from Alabama westward. The per cent

TIFFIN, o., Oct. 16.--The First National

count, as it says, of the suicide Of it's
cashier, John L. Huss. Last evening a
placard was placed on the door, with
these words:
HOn account of the death Of the cashier
this bank will be closed until October

Nothing Is known as yet what caused
Mr.. Huss to commit the rash act, though
something terrible it is thought, is with
held. He had been convalesceut since
Tuesday evening, yet gave directions all
day yesterday to the directors. The
people hero consider the special telegram
sent to the Toledo Commercial last nigh I

which he demanded yesterday and was
refused, a contemplate outrage and de-
nounced him in unmeasured terms.
The County Treasurer assures the pub
| lie that thereTs not cent of the county's

book for examination. He made the
Western Union agent correct his false
hood this morning. The condition of the
bank is not known, but it is believed by
the heaviest depositors and the direc.
tors that it will be able to continue bus.

very bad shape. The other banks oil

trouble at the First National and have
