WHERE IMMIGRANTS 60.

It is the general impression, says the Mail and Express, that most of the immigrants arriving here from Europe go west to grow up with the country.

Of this number 7250 went to Connecticut, 2l50 to Rhode Island, and l1,097 to Massachusetts. New York got 143,. 132, Pennsylvania 36,475, and New Jersey ll,5S7.

Particulars of the Drowning of Slaughter.
Our Sevierville correspondent, "Sevier,"
furn ishes us the following particulars of the
drowning of Mr.. Jas. NJ. Slaughter, already
noted in our columns
The Rev. s. T. Mcpherson, travelling
preacher on the New Market circuit, M. E.
Church, South, formerly on the Sevierville
circuit had employed Mr.. Slaughter, who
lived in the Rocky Valley, near
New Market, to come to Sevierville with
his wagon and team, to move his Mr..
McPherson's) household plunder. When
they came to Pigeon River, at Catlettsbrrg,
Mr.. Mcpherson was riding horseback and
Slaughter driving the mule team. Without
making any halt, he drove into the river it
being then past fsrding. They soon got
into swimming water, when the bed fioated
off the wagon. Slaughter, seeing the
danger, at once let loose of the lines, and,
while floating off in the wagon bed, drew
his overcoat. He remained in the bed I'M
til it struck the bank and turned upside
down, throwing him cut on the opposite
side from the bank. He was then not ex-
ceeding ten feet from the bank, but,
strange TO say, ne STRUCK 1Or the opposite
side of the river, and swan at least 300
yards, within ten feet of the bank, when he
sank, never to rise again.
The mules SWAN across the stream
with the wagon, which was upset,
in the meantime. The bed and
Slaughter's overcoat were caught Mr..
Mcpherson got out, on his horse, and re-
turned to Hockey Valley, to bear the sad
tidings to the wife and friends of the de
ceased His father arrived Friday, and the
neighbors came out with canoes, yawls and
grab hooks, and dragged the river nearly
all day; but the body was nowhere to be
found The search will be continued
The river was very much swollen, Friday,
the water being to IL feet deep. Owing
to the strong current, the body more than
likely foated out of Pigeon into French
Broad. Where Slaughter was drowned is
not more than half mile to the mouth of
Pigeon. All river men should keep a sharp
| lookout from Sevierville to Knoxville, there
ID no telling where the body viii turn up.
MIR. Slaughter is said to have been good
man, Christian gentlemen, and member of
| the church.

Oak Dale Iron Works.

Oakdale correspondence Chattanooga Times.
The furnace at this place has been thor
oughly repaired and will be in operation in
a short time. The Oakdale Iron Company
will complete the railroad from this place to
Winters Gap in few days if the weather is
favorable. They have inexhaustible mines
of coal of very superior quality. They are
distant only eight miles. Having such an
abundant supply of iron and coal, it will
become almost necessity to have another
furnace of large dimensions. Another fur
mace, manufacturing mill and new and
commodious store house will engage their
attention soon. Under the present manage
ment everything is success The construc-
ton of railroad from Oakdale junction to
Knoxville distance of only forty miles, is
only question of time. 1t wo1ld pass this
place, indeed the sixteen miles of road built
by the company could be used, changing it
from narrow to a broad gauge. This
would connect the Cincinnati Southern with
the East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad
and will be paying investment, as it passes
through the finest mineral and lumber re
gion in the South. We understand the road
could be built at moderate expense, as
there would not be much heavy grading.

but as it did not inconvenience me at the

grow worse with every recurrence. I went
to doctor, who made an examination and
said nothing allied me. But I knew better,
for could hardly walk. He gave me some
thing to bandage the leg with, but it was of
no more avail than so much water. Late in

people asked me what was the trouble. A

told me had undoubtedly strained lead
