Laconin LeYee Broken.

The levee around Laconia Circle,
Ark, broke last Thursday evening,
and by the disaster eighteen cotton
plantations are now submerged. This
circle has been free from water for
more than fifteen years past. Over
five thousand bales of cotton are an
nuAlly produced on the eighteen plan
tations alluded to, and from 800 to 1000
fsld hands reside there.
The names of the plantation own
ers include Governor Luke ?. Black
burn, Of Kentucky: Shepard K Black
burn, two places; Patrick Henry,
five plantations; R. Keene, Of
New York, DR.. Scott, Mrs. Edward
Blackburn, Mrs. Rice, B. l. Eddins,
Mr.. Pollardora. Mr.. Worthington,
Mr.. Beasely, Mr.. Coleman, all one
plantation each. A resident Of Laco-
MIA Circle gives the following account
of this unfortunate mishap:
1.-THE people had made most gallant
fight against the unprecedented rise
in tho river and had succeeded in
holding it until the water had become
stationary. On Thursday all hands,
several hundred in number, were
called to the front levee to resist a
strong wind that was washing the
new made earth off the levee. They
succeeded in holding it and repairing
all damage and left it in much better
! fix. While all the experienced men
we're at this place, a leak appeared on
the back levee over on the White
river side, and the man who had
charge there did not appreciate the
danger and allowed few golden hours
to pass without attempting to stop it.
This increased rapidly and broke the
levee at Z pm. The break is at a
point that will do the least harm.
There will be no current over the open
land, and the fences will not be
washed away.
The mules are all cared for, but
there will be an immense loss in cat.
tie, as the people who own the cattle
will not have feed enough to save
them. About eighteen plantations
will be covered, but it is supposed that
the damage will be measured only by
the length of time people will be kept
from plowing. Everybody had com
menced work, which will now be sus-
pended at least six weeks. The water
at Laconia was II inches higher than
in 1867, since which time this levee
has never given way"

W.H. CHERRY.-I00.a

The gentleman whose name is at the
head Of this article, deserves the sim
cere thanks of all who believe the 100
3 act was wrong to be resisted, and
Overthrown. From the earliest step,
to resist, he was connected with that
resistance. He attended all the con-
sultations of counsel at Nashville.
He freely paid out money in support
of the suit. He furnished the security
on the injunction bond. He assured
the complainants that he would, him.
self, indemnify them against costs
and damages, on account of the cost
and injunction bonds. He was not
only in communication with counsel
outside of Memphis, but kept up cor
respondence with counsel here. He
was threatened, with loss to his bust
ness, and strong inducements we're
urged to prevail on him to withdraw
his support and influence from the
measure. But he was rock, stand
ing fast by his convictions and sense
Of duty. Such deeds deserve COM
mendation. In saying these things
for Mr.. Cherry, we take nothing away
from the credit due other citizens, who
stood the sneers, criticism and ground
less assaults which arraigned them
as having loaned themselves, their
names and influence to suit brought
simply for purposes Of specdlation-a
suit wholly without merit, brought
with evil intent, and not from pa
triotc motive, to resist and undo a
wrong. Intimidation, threats and ad-
verse criticism were all heaped on
their heads. The newspapers which,
from passion or zeal or misinforma-
ton, traduced these gentlemen owe it
70 themselves to make amends. A
few of the extremists send their ma
lignant shafts in the direction of the
Court, which by its timely decision
has pointed out the constitutional
landmark, which forbids a bargain
and sale, in the powers of government.
The doctrine of the decision is not new.
1t needed to be stated and enforced.
In many Of the States, whose incon-
siderate press is assailing the decision,
the same bed rock doctrine" as we
are informed, rests securely entrenched
in like decisions made in repelling
similar but less dangerous assaults
upon the inalienable powers of gov.
ernment Virginia constitutes the
solitary exception to the sound and
safe rule.

CLOSE CALL.
Trying to Steal the Wrong Mans
Hens.

For some time past Joseph Sharpe,
a respectable colored man, who lives
at the corner of Dunlap and Hawley
streets, has been annoyed by chicken
thieves, and last night he determined
to lay for them and put stop to it, if
possible. So, taking pistol, he con-
cealed himself under the house in
such manner as to command full
view Of the chicken house. A little
after nine o'clock he heard some one
approaching and moment later two
men stood at the door of his hennery.
The fastening was soon removed and
one man entered, saying TO the other:
Now you wait here and I'll hand 'em
out to you. Sharpe waited until he
heard his old dominick rooster squall,
when he took good aim at conspicuous
patch on the back of the waiting
mans coat, and pulled trigger.
A prolonged howl rose on the still
night air, and chicken thief meas
ured his length On the ground. The
hand.me. down.young man slid over
the back fence and Sharpe went back
into the house for a light. When he
returned the wounded man was gone,
leaving nothing behind to mark the
spot where he fell except pool of
blood,

summer Feeding Of Cows.

rhe summer feeding of cows is more
natural and less expensive than the
winter But while the green grass of
the pasture is the most natural and the
heslthiest food, its luxuriance soon fails
an our summer drouths, and the compli-
ment of nourishment must be made up
with green clover, green oats, barley,
millet and corn fodder, and as these fail
their places may be supplied with wheat
shorts, corn meal. fnseed or cottonseed
meal. Cows should never have to work
hard for their sustenance. Except in
case of very rich pastures, an allowance
of food in the milking stalls is advisable.
Such management not only increases the
quantity and quality of the milk, but
supports the cow in high condition. 1t
is very important that dairy stock
should bd<ikept in good order at the be-
ginning OF winter, and that they should
hold their flesh if practicable until the
most severe weather is past. A fat
animal is less susceptible to cold
than lean one, and on this account
requires hess food to keep up the tenn
perature of the system or to supply the
daily wants which the action of the
alorgans occasion. The flesh, then,
which animals have accumulated in
summer anu ddbuiIlu - ~ ulcdnc VI pIO-
lection against the inclemencies of the
winter. and should be regarded as of
equal importance with the hay or other
material required to produce it. If ami
mails pine away at this season they must
have extra food and shelter in mid
winter, or they viii run dowfstill lower,
and by having less strength and energy
to Withstand the unfavorable Influences
skaf surror,nd them are more liable tn
the attacks of disease and suffer more
from them. If the supply of food must
unavoidably be restricted before the
stock can be turned to grass. the short
allowance should be resorted to towards
spring, when the miseries resulting from
severe cold viii not be found with the
pangs of hunger. 1t is great mistake
TO sfarve cows in calf. Half the summer
passes before they recover from the
effects of such parsimony.-ADlerfcGn
