cannot nd himself of it. Hgrows
as naturally as knots in wood, and
the bark on trees; and, although

fear of slAps or kicks, for a blow
on one side, he assumes to be but
an invitation for him to turn the
other also. He lives and breathes
and exists, in every sense OF the

pends upon cunning for su6sist-

Yesterday morning between the
hours of two and three considerable
earthquake was felt in this city. he
shock was accompanied by "a rumbling
noise, something like distant thunder,
was sufficient to jar the wallslof houses,
causing the windows to shake, and
glass and China ware to jinkle, and
many of our citizens were awakened
by the unpleasant noise and Earring
The shock was a general topic of con-
versatiOn yesterday, and we learn that
it has not been feltany where else along
the line of railroad between here
and Chattanooga. Beyond Chattanoo-
ga, we learn from b. r.. Strong, a
large rock was loosened by some
means in the tunnel, and fell on one
of the coaches, frightening the passen-
gers, but doing no serious damage.
But Mr.. Strong says that he heard no
one in Chattanooga speak of feeling
the shock, and heard nothing of it
until he reached Riceville, and then
Just supposed that the rock in the tun-
mel was loosened by the shock. So up
to present writing we have not heard
of any place where the shock was felt
outside of Knoxville, and must put ii
down as q Knoxville earthquake.

Messy CREEK, Nov. 10, 1875.
TO the Editors Of the Chronicle
An accident occurred at this place
this evening which makes one shudder
to think about. AS the freight train
was passing the depot, four boys-as is
frequently the case here-were rum
ming along the platform, jumping up
on the side of the box cars, and hold
ing on for some distance, when
little son of William Parker's
who was standing by concluded he
would try his hand at it, and in at
tempting to take hold of the iron miss
ed it and fell between the cars, his feet
and legs barely clearing the rail rs the
wheels passed and strange to say, he
was thrown about the middle of the
| track, dragged some ten feet by one OF
the brakes, and left lying there; and
what is still more remarkable, the lit
tie fellow lay perfectly still until ten
cars passed over him, and then jumped
up and said, II am not hurt" bui
upon examination his back was founC
to be pretty badly skinned up.
| The little fellow walked up tC
where his horse WAS tied, mounted hin
and started for home; and 1t il TO bt
hoped wiser boy. have heard moth
! ipg from him since.
There ought to be II law passed, Civ
ing railroad companies power to prose

To the Editors of the Chronicle:
Mr.. Isaac Coward, one of Anderson
county's oldest men, and pensioner
of the war of 1912, died at his home, a
few days since, at the advanced age of
So years.
Mrs. Ogg, wife of James Ogg, Esq,
died at her home in this valley on last
Sabbath.
The dogs have again been killing
our sheep. The Legislature went and
made dog law, which is a very breat
burthen to the poor class of our people,
and which does not meet the purpose
desired any more than a tax on the
privilege of keeping a tin whistle for
each baby in the family. Why didn't
the Legislature say, positively, each
dog found straying from his master 5
home to the distance of one mile with
out satisfactory business shall be shot
down. That's the doctrine. No man
should be allowed the privilege to keep
more than one dog, never; and that
one should be kept, not allowed to
stray all over the community; and my
judgment is he should not be taxed.
If 1 am any judge this tax on dogs is
of no benefit whatever to the interests
of sheep raising; all the good it has
accomplished is in putting the seal OF
ass-hoOd on the Legislature. But we
needn't expect laws suited to the in
terests of the common masses as long
as we select a set OF scrub dwarf court
house rats to make our laws, instead
of honest men, who have little more
honesty and sense and not so much
polish of the tight-pants-moust
| bee gum-hat order. Roy.

Webster, that he had business down

permission of Webster to accompany

miles, when Cardwell had occasion to
stop, and told Webster to hold on a

Der knocked him (Webster) down and

We learned last night from gentle
man from Kentucky, that about three
days ago a daring high way robbery
was committed near London, KY, by
party of unknown men. Mr. A. j..
Kerd at Williamsburg, KY, sent man
named Arthur Adams to Lexington,
KY, after goods, and gave him some.
thing over six hundred dollars, which
he sewed up in the side pocket Of his
coat. One night he camped near Lon
don, KY, and during the night he was
aroused by some one, who told him
that his mules were loose. He started
to look after them, when he was sud-
denly confronted by several men, who
with pistols drawn "went through
him" and found the money. The
thieves have not been heard Of

The prevailing Horse Disease.

1t may not be generally known that
the epzootic, or horse disease, which
prevailed over the entire country a
year or two ago, is again an epidemic,
and passing over the country in about
the same way. Within a few days al
most every horse in the city has shown
symptoms oft by hacking and cough
ing. Many horses in the North have
died from it, and our horse owners
should see that their horses are not
needlessly exposed to cold and wet ;
that their bowels are kept open, and
the experience oftwo years ago showed
that there was nothing better for that
purpose than a warm bran mash
mixed with Damon's Stock Powders.
These Powders are prepared expressly
to keep the stomach of IA horse in good
condition, and when the stomach is
right, but little danger is to be appre-
hended

November 18th, 1875.
The day opened up beautiful and
bright, with prospects of splendid
weather for the closing day OF the
Chestnut Grove Fair.
The Secretary and his assistants were
on hand bright and early, prepared to
receive additional entries, and at an
early hour the people commenced
pouring in from the surrounding coun-
try in wagons, buggies, horseback,
a.foot, and every imaginable way, until
by noon there was large crowd, and
the grounds presented quite lively
scene.
The books were kept open until II
o'clock, and the number of entries was
largely increased.
In the Ladies Department there was
large number of additional entries,
and especially in the line of bed quilts,
blankets, homemade jeans, &C., the
display was large and fine.
The vegetable and grain department
was also well represented especially
in the line of wheat there was large
number of entries, and we were sur-
prised to find such fine wheat and
other grain among these Shills and
rocks; but Notwithstanding the hills
and rocks, these farmers know bow to
raise good crops.
They commenced bringing in stock
of all kinds early in the day, filling up
all the pens and other places, making
tirst-rate show in this line.
There was also very good display
of fowls.
Mr.. II. A. Cramer was on hand with
his Spoer's Patent Gate, and received
considerable encouragement from the
farmers of this section.
THE SINGING CONTEST
was the most interesting feature of the
day. There was special cash premi-
um offered for the best singing by q
Sunday school class, for which there
were three entries, and after some very
good singing by all, the decision was
rendered in favor of the Westminster
class, under the leadership of DR.. II.
p. Collie. The young folks of this com
munity all seem to join in these sing.
ings, and display an interest and
proficiency in this accomplishment
that is really commendable.

various departments, and the follow
