WALTHALL, MISS February 6.-The most
disastrous storm that has visited this section
within the recollection of our oldest citizens
passed last Friday night. The wind came
from the wsst, and seemed 10 ascend and de-
sceud as it went. Bling six or seven miller
wide, il laid low vast quantities Of timber,
and SO obstructed the roads and public pass
ways that travelling for few days was
greatly retarded. AT this place the black
smith shop and academy were blown down,
aud each crushed into perfect mass Of rub.

suffering and death at the schoolhouse would
have been appalling, and as Circuit Court
was in session at the time, many men and
much stock would have been killed in town.
We have heard of no section where the
damage was so great as here. Some stock
was killed and many farms literally covered
with timber. The beautiful forest of natural
growth which surrounded our town is now
defaced, and for the beautiful oaks and
stately pines We now have cluster OF rub
bish timber and CLAW roots,

TOLEDO, February 6.-The river at this
point has risen foot during the past eight

Its ability TO Withstand the pressure from
shove depends The safety of the low.lyiDg
districts Of the city. The river is broken up
above and the ice gorged about q half-mile
above The city at bend in the river. As
the weather is cold and the ice very firm
and sixteen inches thick, the more sanguine
believe that the bsck-wster will be permitted
TO flow out under the ice before the gorge
breaks. Should the gorge bresk in the
present condition of things and let loose the
water back of il, serious damage would en-
sue here. There has been no damage 80 far
in this neighborhood, but owing to foods at
other points, railway travel is very much
demorslzed, and few lines are able TO carry
out their schedule agreements. On the
Maumeefiver, notably at n spoleon and De-
6auce, the overflow has been serious. Every
precaution has been taken here 10 prevent
seri Us damage in case of foods by the re-
moval of goods 10 parts beyond the reach Of
accident. The railway companies decline to
receive freight, hence BUSINESS outside OF
local demand is at a siand-iill.

Brutal Barbarity Of h su,herIands.

Philadelphia American: The agitation
on behalf of the crofter tenants in the
Highlands and islands OF Scotland, begun
some years ago with Mr.. John Murdoch,
of Iverness, in The Highlander, and sus-
tanned by Prof. Blackie, begins To bear
fruit. A royal commission is looking into
the matter, and il discovering facts which
must eventually lead to a revision OF the
land laws. A Free Church minister in
Sunderlandshire complained on behal of
the people of the smallness of their hold
ings, OF the insecurity OF tenure, and that
they were subject Ia annoyances il they
happened to offend any official. II a man
received a lodger into his house-his SON
in-law or his daughter-inlaw-he was
fined; and these ines in some instances, if
not in all, gradually found their way into
the rent and became a permanent charge.

of insecurity that il may become
dangerous il nothing is done TO amelio-
rate the condition Of the people. The
agents OF the duke. a minister of the
Free Church said, 'are his hands, his
eyes, his ears and his feet, and in their
dealings with the people act as a wall of
ice between the proprietor and his ten
ants" In a district containing between
1000 and 5000 inhabitants, one-tweifth
part is allotted to the people, while the
rest is under sheep, deer, rabbits and
grouse. One sheep farm extends TO be-
tween 10000 and 10000 acres, while the
number of people on it are eleven shep-
herds and a plowman. Afraid Of the com
m%issioners seeing the n~akedpess of the

movement In the direction Of improve

EHhAS DURING ISs2-S3.
The APPEAL of Saturday, the 1st of
September next, will be almost exclusive
ly devoted to a report of the growth and
progress Of Memphis during the year
lSS2-S3. 1t will comprise eighty long
columns, equal to 100 of the columns of
the New York HeraId, filled with care
fully and accurately compiled reports of
the commerce, the manufactures, the
trade and finances of the city, together
with the railroad, street and other i'm
provements which have revived the be-
lief in a great future for Memphis, as the
central city, the metropolis, of the lower
valley Of the Mississippi. This edition
Of the APPEAL will be very large, and
will find extensive circulation in West
Tennessee, North Alabama. North Mis-
sissirpi, North Louisiana, Arkansas and
Eastern Texas, and in every other part
OF the Union to which the pluck and
enterprise Of the merchants of Memphis
has penetrated. Already the orders for
copies byAfactors, commission and whole
sale houses are very large, leading to the
belief that the paper which for more than
forty years has been the reliable mouth
piece Of the people will find this year the
largest circulation it ever enjoyed, even
larger than when during the civil war it
followed the fortunes of the Confederacy
and was read in every State in the South.
1t will be a surprising issue Of the AP-
PEAL, and will contain the most encour-
aging chapter in the history of Memphis
1t has ever given to an appreciative pub
lie. Orders for advertisements, locals
and papers left at the counting-room or
sent by telephone will have prompt atten-
ton.

Asueet Ii,tis Loxe story.

Mitchell Mimi Republican: DR.. Well
man reports the eutest and sweetest little
love story We have had from real life.
Yesterday, as he was waiting at Parker,
OAK, for the train, q country lass came in
with her fellow in the farm-wagon, locked
in each others arms. The young man
lived in Iowa, and was on the eve Of start
ing home, The train Was ready, and on
to the platform went his carpet-bag. An
other embrace, and the train pulled out.
The lover swung on, and the lassie waved
him kisses. The train, going down grade,
gained rapid speed; the hoy waved his
handkerchief, but his heart was in his
mouth, OFF went the old satchel; off fol-
lowed the lover, with heels in the air.
Over and over went he, and at last lit in
a mud-hole, rolled like a ball against the
soft clay bank, and finally got on his feet
and started back to see his dulcinea. She
at the saIne time was making for him.
They met and embraced, regardless Of clay
or bruises. The Iowa lnvef was heard to
remark: "Ducky, / will never leave till
you are my wife, The justice Of the
peace was sent for, and the twain returned
to the farm as one.
