i T. NERNAN.

In the last issue of our esteemed
contemporary, the cambridge Watch
4aaa, we observe the announcement
of Mr.. A. T. Newman as a candi-
date to represent Jefferson county
in the next General Assembly. The
Watchman gives him very compli-
mentary editorial notice which we
fully endorse. Mr.. Newman was for
some months a citizen of our place,
engaged in the liquor business. and
during his stay made many friends
among us. Some time ago. in con-
sequence of his disinelination to
continue longer in the traffic, and in
Difference to public opinion on the
sale of whisky, he discontinued his
business, determined to pursue other
avocations more coRgenial to his
taste. If he possessed no other
merit, the fact of his abandonment
of lucrative business. in the inter
est of temperance and sobriety,
should strongly recommend him to
the voters of Jefferson. Me- New
man is a young man of fine personal
appearance, of strong common sense,
genial and affable in manner, of I'M
firing industry and energy. He viii
be strong man before the people,
and if elected, az his many friends
here hope he will be, he will make
Representative always ready and
willing faithfully to watch and work
for the interests Of his constituency.

IRELAND'S CRY
:" For Gods Sake Send us Bread

ia
We copy below from the New
York Herald, sufficiently to give our
readers an idea OF the terrible suffer-
ing in Ireland. and of the efforts
that are being made in this country
10 relieve tha, suffering. Thousands
Of Irish people are actually starving
to death. This statement, it seems
to us, ought 10 be sufficient appeal
to a people blessed as are the peo-
pie Of This country. Starving to
death! They need assistance.
Americans have plenty aud to spare
They viii help the sufferers. We
write more especially to suggest that
contributions flor We believe many
Of our readers will contributed be
sent to the New York Herald. Every
dollar sent there will speedily fad
its way to the sufferers, and in a way
to do them most good:
By Gable to the Herald.
DUBLIN, Feb. 3, 1880.
The daily, hourly cry of distress in
! Ireland becomes more aud more urgent
and widespread Every day reveals
new horrors in the catalogue of suffer
| ing. The outlook for the coming
months is gloomier than any prediction
has yet painted No language can
describe the appalling privations the
utter destitution which prevail, but a
vivid picture can be found in the state
ment and figures below. They are I'M
exaggerated and we'll authenticated.
THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE
SLOWLY STARVING.
It is impossible to overdraw the situa-
tinn, 50 rapidly do matters become
| worse. What might have been an eX-
aggeration yesterday will tomorrow be
an underestimate Three hundred
! thousand people are slowly starving,
and can only be kept alive by superhu-
man efforts On the part of their fellow
creatures. Some of them are living on
one meal day, of turnips or of meal
Thousands more are consuming their
last potatoes Local efforts are becOm-
ing feeble. The people are looking to
the world foe succOr.
THE STATISTICS OF THE ACTUAL DISTRESS
The following figures are compiled
from the Official returns of the lOcaI
committees to the central bodies organ

Dublin They are vouched for by
Protestant and Catholic clergy, gentry
and public officials. Further returns
are arriving daily in overwhelming
numbers.

The public school building in this
place caught nre one Gay last week,
caused by the stoYenipt slipping from
the hue sufficiently to allow the heat
and sparks to ignite the rafters. For

Prof. Lowry taking in the situation at a
glance, soon had his army of scholars
opposing the fiery foe, which they did
creditably and successfully, otherwise
it might have proved a disastrous con-
Migration. Just in this connection, we
suggest to the trustees of the building
that they interview James A Carriger,
Esq. agent for the Knoxville Fire Com

COLD WEATHER AHEAD.

Venor, the Canadian weather prophet,
says: "Mild as the weather has been
through January, it would be foolish of
us were we TO commence talking about
a mild winter (as some newspapers are
doing) before we arc tout of the bush, >
for February looks black and fOrebod-
ing and very icy brcathed. 1 have al
ready predicted for this month two
sharp periods of weather for Canada,
and as these may extend over oonsid-
cradle portion of the northern United
States, l send you this further notice of
them. One of the heaviest snow-falls of
the winter is likely to come upon MS on
the Cd or Sd of February, and occasion
deep drifts and railroad blockades. Fol
loving this Immediately, a very cold
snap will set in of considerable severity,
lasting some four or five days. Next
will come a period of mildness, even
warmth, with rain and slush up to about
the 18th or 18th The 10Th will give us
the second heavy snowfall of the month,
with drifts again and another railroad
bloca ade. Between the goth and 25th
the second cold term will probably set
in, and this bids fair to be very severe
and occasion some very low therm0me-
ter readings. This, with the exception
of the one considerable thaw in this
month, February will be an exceedingly
wintry month. The 18th and 21st of
March viii again give heavy snow falls,
and it is probable that in this month we
will have more snow than at any time
previous during the winter of 1880.
Such is the substance of my predictions
fo.. the winter we are in.

The Tennessee Supreme Court, at
Nashville, has delivered an opinion
which decides that all judgments or de-
crees not satisfied, or new suit brought
on the same, within len years from its
rendition, are fully and effectually bar
red from enforcement, at the option Of
the defendant. OF course the defendant
will always claim this option. The de-
cisioR practically wipes out of existence
hundreds, if not thousands, Of judg-
ments and DEGREES, possibly involving
millions of dollars, now standing in the
civil counts Of the state; thus, in effect
becoming kind of State bankrupt law.
The American says the decision seams
to have been received with approval b.
