4 GRAIN FLEET. Ten schooners,
.v.l.:vd with grain, rode out the storm
last Sunday and Monday on the Flats,
near the mouth of St, Jones' Greek,
behind the Hawks Nest Shoal. These
vessels contained $4,000 bushels of
grain, mostly corn, for New York
market. Three were from Leipsic, 2
from Little Creek Landing, 2 from St.
Jones Creek and from Frederick.
The Flats are much resOrted to now by
outward bound vessels during north
east storms, as they afford good an
chonge, aud the shoal, which is bare
at low tide, is an effective breakwater.
So much grain ahoat at one time and
in such weather caused an uneasy feel
ing among grain dealers until they
heard of the safe arrival of the fleet,

A NEW COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT

A NEW COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT
Had to be elected, as the old one had
resigned, probably on account Of the
above mentioned cause.
On motion the salary Of the County
uperintendent of Public Instruction
was placed at 5000, instead of 500, aud
our young friend, Mr.. c. Brause, was
placed IN nomination and uuani-
mously elected. From what we can
learn, this selection meets with the
general appreciation of the public.
Taking all in all, Rohne county is no
bad county to settle down in. 1t con-
tains some OF the richest ground in
East Tennessee, and seldom fails to
make good crops. Her people are be-
ginning to awake to their own inter-
ests and a spirit of enterprise is pre-
vailing in the county. May it contin-
ue to develop until Kingston shall be
crowded with manufactures of every
description, Is the wish Of the writer.

A Flea.

When a flea Is made to appear as large
as an elephant, we can see all the Won
derful parts of this formation, and are as
t)nished to find that it has coat of ar
NOR much more complete than ever war
rior wore, and composed of strong polish
ed plates, fitted over each other, each
covered like tortoise shell, and where
they meet hundreds Of strong quilts pro-
iect, like those on the back of pOrcu-
pine and hedgehog.
There is the arched neck, the bright
eye, the transparent cases, the pierces to
puncture the skin, sucker to draw away
the blood, six long-ioirted legs, four OF
which are folded ON the breast, all ready
at moment to be thrown out with ire
mendOus force for the jump which both
ers one when they wish to catch him
and at the end of each leg hooked claws
to enable him to cling to whatever he
alightS upon.
4 flea can jump a hundred times its
length which is the same rs if man
had jumped 600 feet, and he can draw a
load 200 times his own weight.

The Fourth E" at lockwood.

We learn that there was large at
tendance atEthe celebration at Rock
wood on Saturday. The Loudon
Band was present and furnished the
music, and but for the rain the good
people of lockwood could have had q
glorious time, During the speaking a
heavy shower of rain began to fall
and large majority of those present
were made thoroughly soaked. The
speaking was rushed through with and
the people adjourned to houses and
taking with them their provisions, en-
joyed their dinner not exactly as they
had intended when they went.
During the day two men had quar-
rel and the knife was used, one of
them making a stab at the others alb
domen. He, however, warding off the
fatally intended thrust with his arm
received a deep cash in the same.
Whisky is said to be the cause of the
trouble, as it is of nearly every other
trouble of the kind.
