At an early hour on the morning %
the 5th inst, In Memphis, n cyclone OF
short duration but OF terrific force passed
over this city, doing some damage a
the VIII arr, but none in anyother part Of
the city beyond the fiattening Of some
shady pickets. The damage at the
wharf was to the Cheek, against which
boat the James Howard was blown,
crushing the lesser boat considerably
about her outer guards. The Lee wharf
boat was also broken loose. Her stages
tripped into the river, but no further
damage was done. The James Lee,
which happened To have steam up AZ
the time, caught and landed the wharf
boat, and the stages were soon fished
up. A negro and his mule and dray
were midway on the middle stage M
the moment IL tripped, but, with that
presence of mind that would have done
credit to wiser head, he cut the mule
loose, and both negro and mule reached
the shore in safety. Several rouseers ON
the Howard and Cheek became panic
stricken and jumped overheard on the
shore side and made safe landing Of
their terrified carcasses. The wind
blew with much force i'm that particular
locality, hut apparently nowhere else in
the city. Had the storm ragged 10 min
utes everything afioat at the. wharf
would have been blown into kindiing

Editor Herald
For the last ten days items of news
that would interest the general reader
have accumulated but slowly in this
place.
The most prominent feature of bus
mess character i'm this place, is the
doings of our Police Court. Owing to
the fact that we have no Magistrates
Courts In our county the Police Court of
Greenville is i'm session on an average
some three days i'm each week, for nearly
all the petit violations of law which
occur i'm the county are brought here for
trial.
The most notable feature of the week
is the marriage of Mr.. Harry Bridges,
of Louisville, to Miss Anna l.. Martin,
of this county. The ceremony was per-
formed by the Rev. III. G. Settle, OF
Owensboro, at the residence Of the
brides father, Mr.. James Martin, neal
Paradise. Mr.. Bridges has for several
years past represented the firm OF
Messrs. Carson, Boman & Co., of Louis
vile, and Is quite extensively known in
Southern Kentucky. The bride Il
among the fairest Of the daughters Of
Muhlenberg county, and deservedly
popular. May their journey through
life be long and prosperous, and may all
the little Bridges they may have to cross
in their travels prove in the end to bt
as notable Bridges as that of the parent
stock. The destinies of the two were
blended in one to-day at 10 O'Clock, and
at 3 o'clock this afternoon they passed
through Greenville on their way tC
Louisville, the home of the groom.

Mr.. Wood Wants II I'm possession Of

and, having become separated from his

to be overtaken by the red skiing he
drew out his watch, hastily detached

der.
Common Sense beheld the shudder
with a sarcastic smile. He knew of
festivals in America with offerings of
gold, fruits, and flowers, and not unfre-
quently excuses that were suicidal in
their nature He knew that debauch-
cry and drunkenness often marred these
social feasts, and the tone of morality
was exceedingly low. He could look
around the Christian audience and see
men who, in their club-houses, were no
better than the degraded heather, and
women who, in the excuses of fashion,
able society, violated their marriage
vow of love and honor, and sacrificed
dance and wine-cup until they could
not cast the stone Of condemnation at
their heather sisters.
The Missionary told his audience of
the abject condition Of many foreign
tribes who herded together and lived in
miserable huts in an atmosphere of
filth and degradation.
The refined Christian audience sick
ened at the description, and on theirin-
credul0us faces was written questioning
II such things could be. f.-t
Common Sense frowned at the incred-
utility, and wished they might take q step
only little out of Broadway, where the
New York poor huddIed In cellars and
crowded tenement houses, breathing an
air Of filth and contamination, and liv-
ing lives Of lowest degradation and
crime. 1t were easier to believe in

American heather. POI L"
The Missionary talked of the nations
who bowed to idols and gods of their

The Christian audience devoutly
thanked God that they were not like
these poor heather; but Common Sense
was picking out of that Christian audi
ence men and women who bowed 10

and thousand gods Of their own max
ing.
At the close Of the service the Mis-
sionary made q powerful plea for foreign
missions, and solicited a contribution
for ameliorating the condition of the
benighted heather.
The audience responded literally, for
their hearts had been touched, and Com
mon Sense smiled approval. His smile
was followed by the suggestion that
another contribution double the pre-
vious sum be taken for ameliorating the
condition Of American heather and adj
vancing the cause of home missions.

November Report Of Commissioners OF
Agriculture,

Agriculture,
Our last report for the current year
will partake more of the nature of an
encyclical letter and letter of congratu-
latiOns, than the character of report,
and will be brief.
Reviewing the operations of the year,
the farming community of Kentucky
ought to feel satisfied and compla.
cent. Each crop in succession through
the year, at different times during the
growing season, seemed brought to the
very verge of disaster by protracted
droughts, when the oppOrtune rains
came and revived and rescued them,
for which our ACCOMPLISHMENTS are
due to "Him who doeth all things well.n
With the partial failure of one or two
crops of minor consideration, all other
crops have been more than satisfactO-
ry.
The wheat crop was extraordinary in
yield and superb in quality, reaching
full a million and quarter above that
Of any previous year, and, withal, it
met with an active demand at remu-
nerative prices. The corn crop reaches
a full average, and has been gathered
in good condition, and is now cribbed
and although the hog crop has turned
aut quite below the usual average, and
therefore greatly less corn was consum-
ed In its fattening, yet the preparations
made for greater whisky crop than
was ever made i'm "a single season in the
State before, creates an active demand
for 1t at full prices 1t Is to-day current
in all interior Kentucky at from - to

less acreage in tobacco than usual, Vel
the acreage product i'm most of the to-
bacco growing districts was so great
that hOuse-roOm had To be enlarged to
shelter and to cure it. And although
there was just grounds for apprehen-
sions for a time that the crop taken as
whole was seriously damaged from
house-burn and stem-rOt, it turns out in
fact, that the damaged tobacco from
these causes j. but an inconsiderable
fraction of the whole, and that the
great bulk Of the crop will reach tbs

ton, and the daily market reports show
that the better grades command fair
prices.
While the foregoing Is true with the
crops already housed and secured, the
farmers of Kentucky have reason to
congratulate themselves Ovor the bright
prospect for the future wheat and bar
ley crops. For time the prospect was
overloaded. The Hessian fly, coupled
with the fall drought, endangered half
of the growing crop in the State. In
deed, from the two causes, many fields
were utterly destroyed, but in most lnr
stances, they were resOwn. When
rains came the effect was magical, and

THE PROPHETIC PROFESSOR.
Ttee's Mete0rte Forecasts shown "a
Have Been Correct.

In forecasting the weather and other
atmospheric phenomena for 1879, In the
National Weather Almanac for this
year, Prof. Tice named the night Of the
18th inst. rs the period for a meteoric
shower, and a few weeks ago he wrote
an article that went the rounds OF the
newspaper press to the same effect.
The prediction was based both ON scien-
tific causes and historical precedent-it
being historical fact, traced to a period
nearly 1000 years back, that at given
and regular periods, of which the 18th
of November was one, these meteoric
showers have occurred. He did not
assert, however, that any such shower
would be general, or that IL would be
seen over any great area of country.
The fact that no such shower had ever
been seen, except locally, was sufficient
to obviate any such expeetation-the
favored localities being impossible tn
name
1t Is fact that seems not to be known,
that the meteoric showers heretofore
seen during the last 4, 900 years have not
been seen over a greater width of space
than twenty degrees of longitude.
This communication Ii sent especially,
however. to correct the idea that the
meteoric display was by Prof Tice sup
posed to be general, and to call attention
to the fact that the prediction was null
filled.
The following communication sent to
Prof Tice, unsolicited, by reliable and
well-known business men of st. Louis,
gives testimony of n shower I'm this
State never excelled in brilliancy or
grandeur. We give it In full:
