| A dispatch from Knoxville, Marion county
dated the 25th, says of the recent storm: The
damage of crops is immense. The corn lays
as fat on .he ground as though a heavy roller
! had passed over 1t, and a great deal of it is
broken off. The small grain and hav in stack
are scattered everywhere. The oats not YET
cut are of no account and will not be cut
as the storm beat most of the grain out
and they lay fat as sheet. A great many
Of the orchards are almost ruined: over
! half the apple and cherry trees are broken
down. Mr. B. A. Mathews lost 200 trees
| from his fine orchard. In one case near town
an apple tree was torn from its roots and car
ried into a field on the opposite side of the
road. OF q fair crop of apples there is not
one bushel out of ten left on the trees.
