of Strawberries.


Correspondence Of the oourisr-JourRal.
KNOXVILLE, April 9.--East, Ten
nessee during the past week has been
visited with heavy storms. lightning,
wind and nail went flashing, whirling,
and rafting through cur valleys, caus-
ing vast destruction to fences, build
ings and timber. In Knox, Sewer
and Blount counties, several lives
were lost by falling timber and build
ings. Hail as large as hen-eggs fell
in some sections, thrashing limbs
from evergreens, glass from pits and
greenhouses, and in some instances,
killing the chickens.
A few days since | met with a gem
tleman Just out ofan engagement with
a terrific hail storm in Sewer county.
He was wearing a heavy wool hat
when he entered the engagement, or
probably he would not have arrived
in Knoxville so early after the storm,
for he was struck in the head by an
normous hailstone, cutting a cash a
half-inch in length. He showed me
his wound, and his hair was still mat
ted with blood. He said it was Slab
sided hail stones running three to
the pound, that he commended with.
Yesterday it showed from early
morning until noon; cleared off during
the night with the thermometer at
thirty degrees. This morning it was
frost, accompanied by a heavy fog.
and we sorrOfully thought of the
fruit and the wheat, but as the day
advanced parties coming In from diff
terent directions gave favorable and
cheering news of mo damage-saved
by heavy fog"
The mountains south and east of us
are now piled white with snow, but
the wind has changed south and no
fears are now entertained for the safety
OF our fruit and wheat crop.
Our strawberries are looking yigor-
GUS and promise an enormous yield.
In a few days they will begin to ripen
and will be placed on market two,
weeks earlier than usual. l noticed
in the Courier-Journa last spring a
discussion as to the size Of a certain
strawberry that had recently been in
PRODUCED to the market, and laughed
heartily at one writer, who endeayored
to give their size, by stating how
many berries he placed in a tea-cup.
Now those writer's have never seen
any real Strawberries. l will try and
send you a sample this spring to ex-
hibit for their benefit.
| assure you the question will not
be as to how many berries will 60 into
a tea-cup, but how many cups to con-
tain M strawberry. Wait a week or
two. Ed. S. SHEPPARD.

Charleston News.l
The agreement said to have been
concluded at Atlanta by the repre-
s~entatiyes of the Louisville and Nash
vile, Western and Atlantic, Central
and Georgia railroad, is not nearly as
favorable to the Central railroad and
Savannah as the old projected combi-
nation with the Nashville and Chat
tanooga railroad. 1t is correspond
lngly better for Charleston. Instead
of the Central, Western and Atlantic,
and Nashville and Chattanooga lines
forming one grand system working for
their common interests, the new
agreement with the present owners OF
the Nashville and Chattanooga system
confines itself to securing an open
course to the South Atlantic coast.
without any discrimination for or
against any particular port. This Is
our reading Of the dispatches. and No
other view will account for the an.
pearance Of the Georgia railroad As
one of the contracting parties.
The Georgia railroad is forced to
fight against any combination that
will in any way restrict her freedom
of action at Atlanta, or cut her of
from suoh receipts at Atlanta as, with
fair play, she can command, 1t is a
matter OF Indifference to the Georgia
railroad whether the freight which
passes over her line to Augusta comes
down 10 Charleston or goes on Ia
Charlotte OF Wilmington. As between
Charleston and Port Royal, the Geor.
gia railroad will give the preference
to Port Royal, in which road the
Georgia railroad has a %pecuniary
