produce here, and from the grow ing crops it would seem that this may be classcd hlgh as a grain growing country. Every thrifty and intelligent farmer who gives his attention to grain and stock, lives well with little labor, and ac- cumulates as fast as may be best for him. The mercantile and other. business, present much the same appearances, and arc con ducted upon the same plans and principles, I should think as else where in the south, under sim far conditions of climate and pro duction. But there does not ap- pear to be as much credit either sought or obtained as in nor, cot ton regions What I like most; in the countryis its healthfnmess as compared with the one l came from, and in which I have spent the most of mylife until very lit tie oft was left. Yet the appear ances of the people here will scarcely bear me out in this as. sertion. They do not look better in health as a whole than those of the flats and bottoms. But this 1 must think is attributable to the people themselves rather than to the country. A stay here ofa few months has seemed to have much improved my own general health, and with Gods gracious pcrmis- sion, will 1 hope make mo well as 1 hope to be in a broken and en- fcebled body. l have found little happiness and contentinent here as 1 have been accustomed to meet in any part of the country since the war. But discontent and unhappiness cannot be said to belong to any place or country, and generally have but one cause with people who are in health of body and mind. All may be nap py who fulfill the conditions of happiness, and about as well in one country and under one form of government as another.

RUssELLvILLE, June l4th, 1876. To the. editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 came here March lst, on vis it tosome relations, having no bus mess object but to improve my health. 1 had little expectation of remaining longer than to try my hope of improvement, and supposed l should then return to Lee county whence l came. But l have found tue country so much better in many respects, than the one l came from, as to make up my mind that if continue in the country at all, will settle either here or in Johnson county. l will write some of my observations and impressions of the country for the information and benefit of whom it may concern, which, If you please, you may print ill the DEMOCRAT.
 The soil and the surface here l can not compare with those of the river bottoms and adjacent plains of the east. But herein lies the cause for it's greater attraction for him who seeks health and happi- ness as the chief good. Health bounds over tine mountains-dis- ease creeps thro' the swamps; and it is easier and more profitable to tworl1 inferior land with health, than the richest soil with bad feelings and low spirits. Yet judging from tLe price of country

Saturday evening the members of the Press were rendered an invita- ton to visit the beautiful suburban residence of Col. Frolich, and par take of his Inequalities. The inyi- tation was accepted and no one who was there to see how co7ily and tastily the genial Frolich is fixed, and to be recipient of the lavish civilities and Inequalities extended to the press, will never fail to re- member the event as one of the pleasautest occasions of their life.
 And, Great Ceasar! we came very near neglecting to make mention of the generous and hospitable rcmem : braMce of the Press, by honest, jo- vial, old Tom Fletcher, of Pulaski, {, if not the nex., one of our future Governors, through whose kindness we were all invited to test the quali- ties of some of the very rarest and choicest champagne. We know Col. r. has the thanks of the Press gang for his kind remembrance of the poor toiling editors. May he live long and happy.
 On Saturday evening the Ladies Aid Society gave an ice cream and straw berry festival at the Court House, and large assemblage filled the house. The fine taste displayed in all the arrangements, betokened culture and refinement Ill the lady managers.
 Sunday we attended church and listened to a most excellent eloquent and wholesome sermon by Rev. Dannelly from the 20th verse of the 33d chap. of Isaiah,
 To the generous, hospitable peo. pie of Searcy, we shall ever hold their kindness in eternal remem- brance. And especially t) Col Jacob Frolich and his most charm ing little wife, who are certainly deserving of a cup overflowing witt the pleasures and joys of life, art we indebted for the kindness eX- tended to us. May they, surround. ed by their sweet little family, ant amidst the charms of their cozy little retreat in the suburbs of Searcy 1 live long and prosper.

A Terrible accident,

On Monday last, most shocking tragedy
occurred near st. Michaels, Md, by which
Mr.. Edward Tenant, an aged citizen, was
instantly killed. Mr.. Tenant was riding
through his woods selecting trees, which he
had two colored men employed to cut down.
Near the road leading from st, Michaels to
Royal Oak, and Immediately opposite the
school house which stands at the corner of
Mr.. Graham's farm, pine tree had been
uprooted by the terrible storm of few
weeks ago, and had lodged in the limb OF
an adjoining tree. This tree Mr.. Tenant
directed his men to cut down. AS the tree
fell it bore down the limb Of the tree adjoin
ing until it broke, and rebounding with
wonderful force, it struck Mr.. Tenant who
was sitting on his horse about seventy five
feet distant, aud felled him to the ground
The two men appalled, with fright hastenet
to the unfortunate man and found hin
dead. The piece Of broken limb which die
the fatal work was about four feet long ,ant
three inches in diameter. 1t was yer,
heavy, and must have come with the ap
parent velocity and force of'a cannon ball
striking him on the top of the forehead ant
so MASKING the skull that,a portion of tn
brains protrud9d from the right eye.

By American Press Association.

BY American Press Association.
WASHINGTON, March Sin the Foreign
Affairs Committee, this morning, Mr.. Lyon
was cross examined by Mr. Chittenden.
Lyon explained that he visited Utah in
September, 1867, instead of the Spring Of
that year, subsequent to his examination
before Judge Brady. He said that he had
seen printed circulao in regard to the
Emma Mine previous to 1864. Witness
met Mr.. eager at the St. Nicholas Hotel
within the last three months. eager did
not tell witness that he read the witness
story about the Emma Mine, and that he
knew much of it to, be false. Witness did
not tell eager that he could not remember
the facts after the lapse of four years. The
wi1ness stated further that he knew that in
August, 1871, Park went to London to sell
the Mine, and that not more than $780,
900 of ore had been developed. He expect
ed to get half million, and as soon as the
mine was sold finally he was to get
$25O, 900; he was to be paid 500, O,OOOin cash
and was not to receive the balance until
Mr.. Stewart went to New York to see what
arrangements be could make with the
stockholders. He does not think he got
$15O,00O before the 18th of May,
1871; arrived in London, November 20,
1870; did not think that it was his duty in
interval from the latter date to January ID
1871 to inform the British public of the ex-
hausted condition of the mine.
Question you willing to swear that
Park, in yourpresence, stated to anybody
that he had bought and sold shares of the
mine, between November 20 and April Is:
Answer.-I recollect Park saying so il
my presence; SAW Park sell some shares
to Stanley, one of the directors, between
these dates.
Question.-Was that sale concluded be.
fore the report from the mine came In!
Answer.-1 think it was: am not posi-
tive about It.
Question.-Did you not intend on you
stay In New York that the Solomon Hasse.
despatch arrived, and was intended to ar
rive, just at the time the books were to b
openeds
Answer.-I did not Intentionally wish t.
mislead anybody.
Witness could not tell all he swore to i
New York; he was willing to take his char
ces. On that the witness was subjected t
lengthy examination, with regard to hi
testimony in New York, to show his state
nent there, and before the committee di
not agree. Witness thought that Park toi
him he had given Steward two tAonsan
shares in one block, which he was to use t
induce Schenck to become a director; wit
ness first transaction in the Er ma Min
was direct purchase at figure above pal
it was few months afterward that witnes
commenced to sell short. He was a deale
in the mine on July J., 1879.
