residing in every portion of the State.
the general condition of the crops Is
favorable.
CORN.
The dry weather which has prevail
cd in many Of the counties has cut
down the yield of the corn crop below
expectation.
In East Tennessee five counties re-
BORT an average crop, nine counties
hree-fourths of an acreage, seven Il
half cropand only one (Iorgan) above
IN average. The average for East
Tennessee is IS.
In Middle Tennessee six counties
report more than an average crop,
VIZ: Humphreys, Davidson, Cumber-
land, Sumner, Montgomery and Smith;
seven counties report an average, ten
counties three>fourths of an average
and two-Lincoln and MOore-as six
tenths of an average. The average
for Middle Tennessee is 50.
In West Tennessee one county
Madison-reports above an average;
two-Haywood and Gibson--an aver
age; fourteen counties three-tourthS
and over, and Observation-Disclosures
three-fourths, The average for West
Tennessee is 80.
The average for the entire State is
IS, though it must pc remembered
that the best corn producing counties
report above an average.
COTTON.
There is some complaint of rust, but
generally the bolls are opening. In
Middle Tennessee, the average condi-
ton of this crop is 81, in West Ten,
nes>ee, 81. The picking has begun
al over the State, An intelligent

Ii is fearful and sorrowful indeed to
see at this time some of the best cot

LIVE STOCK.

The live stock of the State Gas
shown by the reports of correspondents
is in excellent condition. This is
probably due to two cause.-the mild
ness of last winter, which enabled our
stock feeders to keep their stock in
better order, and the seasonable wealth
er during the summer for the growth
of green food, which has also kept the
condition of stock above an average.
Stock general seems to be healthy.
But few cases of disease have been Ie-
ported, and hone which partake of the
character of epidemlcs. Many couE>
ties report large surplus of stock on
hand, which the farmers seem anxious
to dispose OF. Cattle average from 2
to 4 cents per pound. Mules are
worth from SIS to 1925 per head, and
horses average from $50 to $50 per
head.
Very little cholera or disease has
been reported among the hogs this
season. The crop will hardly be so
large as last year; Notwithstanding,
there Will be an abundance of corn to
fatten all the logs in the country.

A correspondent from Lauderdale
county also writes: The weather for
the last two weeks has been very warm
and dry, doing some damage to late
corn and nausing the cotton to shed its
forms aud smaller fruit; this is rot re-
garied, however, as any serious injury
so late in the season, as it is a rare
thing for blooms rs late rs this to
make cotton, for the fruit is generally
caught by frost before maturity.
TOBACCO.
So many conflicting accounts have
been published in regard to the con-
dition and prospects OF this crop that
have taken more than ordinary pains
to ascertain the facts. As to quantity
find forty-one counties in this State re-
ports crops growing. In East Ten
nessee, where but little more is grown
than is required for bone consump-
ton, the average is put down at y.
In Middle Tennessee the average is
50, though some Of the largest tobac-
co growing counties report much
smalleraverage-Stewart, forinstance,
reporting 20 or a fourth of crop, and
Robertson %, while Montgomery; the
largest tobacco producing county in
the State reports about 40 of an av>
erage crop. In West Tenn. the av-
erage is ~, though here, as in Middle
tennessee, some of the largest pros
ducing counties show much smaller
average. Taking all the counties in
the State the average will be 90, but
taking only those counties which pro-
duce large surplus and the average
falls below 80.
To sum up. The crop in quantity
will be less than half the crop of last
year, but the quality will be much
better, giving a larger percentage of
rich, heavy, desirable sorts.

A Singular Charge to a Jury,

Probably the most curious charge ever
made by Judge to jury was delivered
in st. Louis during the anti-slavery ex-
element forty years ago. A mulatto,
who had killed a policeman, was taken
out of Jail at night by mob, tied to a
tree and roasted to death. 1t became
the duty of Judge Lawless to bring the
matter before the Grand Jury, and the
Alton Qll) Telegraph relates that he
did so in the following languages:
If the destruction of the murderer
OF Hammond was the act of the many
of the multitude in the ordinary sense of
those words-not the act of Vulnerable
and ascertainable malefactors, but of
cor9regate thousands, seized upon and
impelled by that mysterious, metaphysi-
cal ana almost electrical frenzy, which,
in all ages and nations, has hurried the
infuriated multitude to deeds of death
and Decentralization say, act not al
all an this matter; the case then trans
cends your jurisdiction-it is beyond
the reach of human law"

Battle Between Onoers and Outlaws.

Sheriff Reid, of Calcassieu parish,
Louisiana McFaD, Sheriff of Lindsay,
and his Deputy, Eddleman, of Fort
Worth, Aaa in charge Dock Shockey,
who is charged with the murder of a
mail contractor at Lake Charles, La.
Smokey was arrested in Parker county
on reqisition from Gov. Nichols, and
when within ten miles of Fort Worth a
party of six or seven masked men,
armed with Winchester rifles, suddenly
came out of a ravine and ordered halt.
Sheriffs Reid and McFall were in the
hack in which the prisoner was, and the
Deputy in a buggy behind. The party
rode in between them and firing COM
menoed. The stage was but a short dis
lance behind, and before the driver was
aware of it both parties made breast
works of the stage, and while in this sit
uation about forty shots were exchanged.
Fortunately the driver and everyone in
The stage escaped unhurt. Eddleman
and Reid both received flesh wounds in
the leg, and one of the attacking party
was thought to be dangerously wounded,
as he reeled as he rode off. Shockey
was handcuffed and shackled, and as
soon as the attack was made the Sheriff
threw his arm around his neck and told
kim If he attempted to escape he would
kill him. When the Sheriff raised his
gun to fire, Shockey slipped off and
rolled out of the hack, when one OF the
attacking party took him on his horse
before him and rode off Fort Worth

A Big Tusk.

Bear Tooth was described by those
pioneers of Western exploration, Lewis
and Clark, and has always been regarded
as tue most conspicuous landmark in
Northern Montana. 1t can be seen sixty
miles away, aud is in full view from
Helena It is at the end of the canon
known as the Gate of the Mountains,
through which the Missouri river flows,
and in photographs of Northern scenery
two tusks rise, black and grim, from its
crown. Not long ago aparty of hunters,
who were encamped near the base of the
mountain, heard rumbling sound and
felt the earth tremble beneath them. 1t
was not an earthquake, for, when they
continued the chase and reached clear
ing where they could look mp, they saw
that the Bears Tooth had lost tusk.
An immense mass of rock and earth. 300
feet in circumference at the base and loo
feet ut the top, and 500 feet in height,
had been dislodged, and, sliding down
the mountain side like an avalanche, had
swept through forest of big trees fol
a quarter of a mile.
