1t seems to have been q good thing for
the twenty-five men who pursued the
stage robbers to return in peace and
leave the numbering Williams to pursue
the even tenor Of their way, for they
were armed to the teeth, with the most
improved rifles and pistols, and had one
hundred and four shots ready without
reloading. The posse, armed with shot
guns merely, would have stood u poor
chance with the highwaymen, and
wisely determining that discretion was
the better part Of yalor, returned sadly
to their homes. The last seen of the
robbers was near Mckinney, where
they left a horse and then continued
their journey.
The crop prospect is exceedingly good
in regions visited by the late rains. The
dry weather had enabled the planters to
clean outstheir crops, and the rain came
in time to assure q vigorous growth.
Wet weather early in the Spring is worse
than dry as it prevents the working Of
the crops and promotes rank growth Of
weeds. It is source of congratulation
to the country that the season is so ia
vorable to the planting interest.

Over 90 years ago youth working on

enough TO buy a gun. The old man cOuld
not spare it; but the boy nothing daunt-

to make ginbarrel out of il. with the
very meager facilities afforded by a
country blackSmith's shop. He had MOI
the materials to make lock and 5 &C !:

traded for the necessary attachments. and
was encou. aged by the smith for having
made so good shooter. This gave him
the ambition to make another; so he
went to cutting ont grin lstOnes from the
native rock to raise the money for .ul
materials, and in short time there was
considerable demand for guns of his
make. During the French war with
Prussia be was called upon to ftlrn' sh
guns for the army, and i'm less than eight
months he made and delivered TO the
government of France rifles of particul-
lar pattern, costing $5.000000. which
amount was duly paid. The same man
furnishes rifles now for the United States,
South America. Rome. Spain, Egypt and
Japan. The farmers boy who wanted

Fall of an Immense Mass from Lookout
Mountain.

Saturday afternoon large portion of
the rock at Bragg's Bluff, Lookout noun
tain, which has been moving from the
parent ledge for two weeks, weighing
about 1000 tons. was forced down, falling
fully forty feet and striking the mOuli-
tail road at the edge of the bluff. Here it
was dashed into pieces. and hundreds OF
these, many ten feet or morse in thick
ness, were hurled down the side OF the
mountain where the incline is some fifty
degrees. The crash was terrific, and as
the huge masses went rolling down the
mountain sides the tops Of the forest
trees were twisted together, their trunks
were snapped like reeds, and everything
was swept before them. Immense clouds
OF dust were raised and the earth was
shaken Tor great distance around. The
shock was Violently felt by men quarter
OF a mile distant. The effect ombined
all the sublimity of thunder storm and
the terror of an earthquake. The ealth
appeared ladenel with mist. as it did dur
ing The famous battle which occurr d
there few years ago. The rest of the
ledge is expected to fall ere long.
