From a gentleman who arrived
here Yesterday from Obion county
are5obtained the following addition
al particulars of the tornado which
visited Western Kentucky and Ten
nessee late Sunday afternoon. He
heard the storm approaching from
long distance 1t had a roar as it
approached more terrible and omin-
Gus than the most terrific thunder.
Long before 1t reached his vicinity,
he would hear it bursting through
heavy growths of timber. When it
crossed a farm a sort of lull would
ensue, and then a deeper rumbling
as it struck and FRUSTRATED trees,
large numbers of which had a dia-
meter offour and five feet. 1t swept
down all landmarks, and so mixed
up fences that farmers were unable
to tell which of the scattered rails
belonged to them. Blankets, quilts.
and bed clothing generally, were ear
ried along in the general whirl, and
came down five and ten miles distant
from the point where they were
taken up.
A man was actually lifted from
the earth and blown thirty or forty
yards, landingin field, bruised and
demoralized, but not seriously hurt.
! Lying fiat upon his face, he waited
until the hurricane had spent its
fury, though. fearing ali the while
his brains might be dashed ont by a
falling rail or limb of a tree.

Experimental Farming in Ten
neSsee.

That intelligent. energetic farm
ing pays. in this State, may be seen
by the following facts presented to
the Country Gentleman by a CORES
pendent writing from Franklin,
over the signature of J. B. M:
Nothing but unadulterated laziness
can keep the farmers from making
the business pay well in this part of
the State; they can work from the
beginning to the end Of the year
and never be stopped by the wealth
er, and they can so rotate theiI
crops as to have something in mar
ktt every mouth of the year. am
no farmer, but an eXperimenter, and
give only small portion of my time
to it, and 1 manage to have some
thing always ready for market
Commencing in the spring with
wool, lambs, mutton, wheat, oats,
hay, clover, millet, herdsgrass, tim
othy, pork, mules beef, fruit, pota-
toes turnips, etc. My gross pro-
ducts this year were 81, 900; expen-
ses, $4,000, and land improved.
Wheat, rye and oats all growing
finely, and land broken and subsoil-
ed for next years corn crop.
There is not only a text but a
capital sermon in the above exhibit.

Tax Sales.

The Cleveland Banner publishes
the following remarks in regard to
the legality of the tax sales:
Last week many of our exchan-
ges came TO us filled up with sales
of land for taxes. The day of sale
is fixed on Monday, the Sd day OF
January next. These sales, like all
others of the kind since the war,
will be illegal, and the tax titles
m ade by virtue thereof will not be
worth the paper that they are writ
ten upon. To make taX-title hold,
the courts have decided that the
sales should have been advertised
forty days preceding the day of sales
and that the sale must be made on
the first Monday of July in each
year. This decision made in compli
ance with an old statute, which has
never been repealed. Unless tax
sales are made in compliance with
this law no x-title can be success
fully defended before our courts
We make these remarks for the ben
eft of the public"

A sensation has been created by
a Methodist "bishop," DIR. Haven.
Our first acquaintance with him was
on the occasion of his delivery, some
years since, of a sermon on 'mis

of white people with negroes. He
strongly advocated that measure,
not only on physiological, but on
high moral and Methodistic grounds
and handled the discussion with a
loving familiarity physiology and

readers the satisfaction of feeling
that he had thoroughly mastered the
subject.

A Very ancient claim against the

Claims. The heirs of Francis Vice
claim $S,6l6 and interest, advanc ed
by him to aid the troops under Gen

What the south needs Just now is
not a mere temporary control in the
conduct of national affairs, but re-
lief from the expressions which still
weigh her down. and a chance to
grow. She will do nothing, there

arouse the fears, or to excite the

Our neighboring city of Bolivar
voted down on Thursday last, a
proposition to subscribe $50, to-
ward the construction of the Mem
phis and Knoxville Railroad. This
vote it is thought will have the eff

or Jackson. Jackson has already
subscribed fifty thousand to build
aload into Henderson county and
said subscription it seems to us
might be made available in securing
for Jackson the western terminus OF
the Knoxville road. At the proper

matter fully, and to urge upon Our
