CNcINNArI, February l6.-The town of
California, seven miles above this city, has

again happened during, this iiood. At a
meeting OF citizens held to-day, a COM

ment OF the damages of each person from
the Miami river to Four-Mile creek, not
only counting losses, but considering the
ability of each to bear his loss, and then
distribute permanent relief, whatever the
whole amount may be, in proportion to
the assessed amount of damages.

JACKSON, February 16.-The Dairy and
Creamery Convention, which was in ses-
sion two days in this city this week, will
no doubt result i'll good TO our section. The
practical ideas advanced by the various
delegates have put our people to thinking
concerning the dairy and creamery busi-
ness in Tennessee. The crowning glory OF
the convention WAS the address delivered
by Miss Carrie Coffin, of Fort Dodge, Ia,
on THE Cow, the Queen of the Dairy
Farm" She gave the members more
practical ideas to carry home with them
than any other speaker who occupied the
rostrum during the sitting of the conven-
ton. The exhibition of cern, oats, pota-
toes, dairy and creamery appliances by
our Northern visitors was the admiration
OF hundreds of visitors during the week.
Thursday evening, the 7th instant, the
fine ginhouse of Messrs. J. d. < S. S.
Bond, two miles east of this city, was
burned, with three bales of cotton and
$50 bushels of cotton-seed. The loss was
$1,000; insured for S1250. The origin OF
the fire is unknown.
The contract for building the Federal
courthouse and postoffice in our city will
be let out at once, and the work on the
building will commence early in the
spring.

the Savages of Sumatra.
New York w orld,
Captain James Moore. of Rockville Center L.
l., recevedsas letter Friday from his nephew
Samuel Moore, first mate Of the English steam
ship Nlsero, wrecked on the coast of Sumatra, in
the Indian ocean, about eighteen months ago.
The crew of the steamer consisting of twenty
eight men, were made prisoners by the natives
and taken inland, where for eleven months they
suffered the most intense agony. Seven died of
| starvation, and three escaped to meet worse
fate in the jungle. Eighteen men were subse-
quenty released by the British governor, Hon.
Mr. Maxwell, paying flO, 900 ransom to the Ra-
iah. Mr. Moore who is only thirty years of
age, managed to keep diary from the time of
his Imprisonment until his release. The follow
ing extracts from the diary which he sent to his
uncle, may prove interesting:
'"Since March %, 1884 we have been confined
in small and swampy island in the center of
the Tenom river. On Sept 1--WE had long con-
ference with the Raiah, and he promised to
take us to the coast the following day and hand
US over to the British authorities. We started
in the evening scarcely able to walk, hungry
and naked and surrounded by about five hun
bred savages After travelling all night we reached
tho Katapang Passir river and came to a halt
in an open plain, surrounded by three hundred
armed natives. Our situation was terrible one,
and not to be triied with We were not allowed
to speak. and the slightest commotion among
us would have led to the most deplorable re-
suits. The following Sunday came to a
spot on the shore Of Katapang Passir bay,
where, with no small degree of pleasure and
relief beyond expression found Mr. Maxwell
and Col Lockhart waiting to receive us. No
one who has not gone through privations, suf
ferings and coufnements nigh hopeless. such rs
ours were, can ever realize, by mere force of
words the happiness of our meeting with these
British officers"
Mr.. Moore was the only American on the i'll

reception on his arrival, when it is said, he will
