ROCKFORD, June II, 1881.
Mr.. EDITOR: This has been a busy week
with the farmers. Although the rains dur
ing portion of the week, interfered some
what with the wheat cutting, yet very little
wheat will be left standing by Saturday
night. 1t proves to be much better than
was expected when the rust appeared some
two weeks ago. The general report is that
''the wheat is good where the ground is
good" and that is generally the key to
"the situation " in regard to other crops as
well as wheat. In fact poor wheat on poor
ground is rather poor business, any way
you look at it. have heard number of
farmers declare their intention of seeding
down their farms in grass and clover and
turning their attention to stock, as better
paying investment.
Corn crops are generally in fine condition.
The dry weather enabled the farmers to get
their corn crops in good condition, and afte,
the rains set in it was comparatively easy tc
, keep them So
A rather lively little earthquake shock was
felt here to-day about II o'clock, rafting
doors and windows and shaking up things
generally. Inc SnOck was very SuOuen, Dul
the rumbling was heard for several seconds
afterward. We suggest that Professor Tice
keep us better posted in regard to the next
one.
This community has not been as "dis
tressing healthy" this spring as it might
have been. Several cases of sickness, es
pecially among the little folk, but there
have been no fatal examinations of any il
this immediate neighborhood.
More and better in the future.

University of Tennessee.

g The cornerstone for the new building to
be used by the medical and dental depart
ments of the. University of Tennessee, was
laid in Nashville Wednesday, with great
eclat and imposing ceremonies, IN the pres
ence of about one thousand persons. The
stone was laid by Cumberland Lodge, No. 8,
F. and A. Masons, Wilbur F. Foster, n. W.
grand master, conducting the ceremonies.
DR.. w. P. Jones; president of the medi-
cal faculty, made the opening address, after
which large number of publications, en-
cravings, medals, &C., were deposited, the
Masonic ceremonies conducted, and Prof E.
Joynes, member of the University faculty,
made an appropriate address The follow
ing extract of the same will no doubt be
read with interest:
Mr.. President, Brethren of the Medical
Faculty, Ladies and Gentlemen: 1t is an
auspicious day that witnesses this ceremony.
1t is an suspicious and proud day for me
when, representing the University of Ten
nessee, situated at our ancient capital of
Knoxville, am permitted to. celebrate the
foundation of this building, belonging to
the medical department of the University at
! our modern capital of Nashville. There is
here symbolized the life of an institution as
! old as the history of Tennessee and as large
as her domain-an institution that belongs to
no sect or section, but to the whole State,
and in its liberal policy and CON-
prehensive growth aims to be worthy
of the great name it bears, as
the favored child of this large, free and
growing Commonwealth. 1t stretches its
arms across the mountains and rivers to EN-
brace it's children; ii unites Knoxville anc
Nashville in fellowship of educational his
tory and educational work, and it aims tt
bind all Tennessee in the broad communion
of an educational system of which it is the
legally reconstructed center and head. The
union thus consummated, of which we to
day here exhibit one of the first fruits
marks the beginning of larger and more
comprehensive policy in the higher as wei
as the lower education of our State in flu
ture. The erection of this building is
proof of that strength which comes from
union, and is pledge of the purpose anC
the power of the State University to quail
fly itself, in all its departments, worthily t.
represent and to guide the educational pro
gress of Tennessee. I am here not in M
personal capacity, but as representing tn
mother University at Knoxville founded be
fore the State was born. to congratulate on
colleagues of the medical department upol
the suspicious beginning of this work, ant
in their name to dedicate the building.
The building is to be 55xSO feet, fou
stories, built of pressed brick, with cut
stone trimmings, and with all the modern i'm
provements. Work will be commenced a
once, and the building is to be completed b
the middle of October next.

From tho Effects of the Pernicious Nuis-
ance of tie Small Boy and Flipper.
The little son of Mr.. W. o. Uranium,
who is teacher in the Tennessee School for
the Deaf and Dumb, while out playing yes
terday, was hit in the eye by gravel, or
something of the kind, hurled from flip
per, in the hands of some small boy, and
very serious injury resulted. DR..
Jno. M. Boyd was called, but
the eye was found to be
lost, beyond redemption. 1t was peculiar
ly unfortunate accident. The child, mere
infant, is very bright and intelligent little
fellow, and although both father and mother
are deaf and dumb, it possessed both
senses. The parents and friends have the
sympathies of all
This may not be considered an inappro-
pirate occasion to say something that
should have been said long ago regarding
this pernieious habit of so many of the
small boys about town who are constantly
bringing these abominable fippers into
requisition, to the great damage both of life
and property. In the past ten days, as WE
are informed, no less than two or three
runaways of carriages have been caused by
these fippers; there are but few houses il
town which do not bear marks of the effects
and now precious little child has lost al
eye. 1t is a nuisance that should be looked
after by our city fathers. Some cities make
it a Unable offense for boy to carry one Of
the things, and why cannot Knoxville do the
same? They might just as well be allowed
to carry pistols around in their pockets.
