Strnek hY lightning.

During'the storm Monday morning
the lightning struck the stable and
barn on Mr.. n. V. Gerharts farm four
miles from the city. A fine mare, a
pair of mules valued at 800, and
II sheep were in the building at
the time and ali of them were
killed. The lightning set fire to
the barn and it was burned, with a
considerable quantity of fodder, twelve
barrels of corn, a spring wagon and
some agricultural implements. The
total loss is estimated at 81 800. At
the same time a tree and a negro
cabin, some distance from the barn
were struck. The theory is that the
tree first attracted the destructive bolt
from whence it went to the cabin and
then to the barn. 1t was about 20 feet
from the tree to the cabin and sixty
feet from the cabin to the barn. The
cabin had its chimney topled over, one
gable torn out and the roof badly
damaged. The occupants escaped in
jury except one old woman sleeping
near the end struck. who had one
side temporarily paralyzed by the
shock.
This occurred about 3 o'clock.
About $50 the same morning the
house of Mr.. George w. Buck on
Greenwood Avenue this city, was
struck. The south chimney was
thrown down and the weather board
ing on that end OF the house ripped
off. From thence the current passed
down the tin gutter and tore the top
off of the cistern. The Northern part
OF the house was also considerably
damaged, it is supposed by a second
bolt. The chimney was Knocked over,
the roof shattered and bed in one of
the upper rooms set on fire. The fire
was fortunately discovered in time to
prevent serious confagration. Mr..
Buck estimates the damage to his
property at $500.

OBITUARIES.
Samuel Il. WYATT.


Samuel Thomas W yatt, eldest son of DIR
r. G. and Jennie z. Wyatt of New Provi.
denee, was born October 5, 1868, and died
February 6, 1885.
When but a child in his mothers arms, il
was apparent that his mind was endowed
to degree that rendered him precocious
His love for literature, the rapidity with
which he acquired information, and the
tenacity with which he held to it. were so
far above the general rule that one unac-
quainted with him would scarcely have be-
lieyed the facts. In his heart there was an
alter sacred to books, and he was never
more happy than when kneeling at the
shrine dedicated to their service.
From a child he was delicate. He was
buoyant, hopeful of the future. His par
erents, fearing at first that his race would
soon be run, had begun to receive light from
the star of hope that shone In his sky, and
were being led TO believe that perhaI S they
would have him to lean upon in their de-
clining age. That light was extinguished a
few weeks ago when the son came home to
rest his weary head on the bosom OF the
family.
The shaft has been broken in twain. A
favorite tree has been taken from the gar
den of the famlly's heart. The first-born is
dead. A large numer of friends gathered at
the homestead Sunday morning and listen
ed with sad hearts to the burial service of
the NJ. E. Church, South, of which he was
member. May the God OF love give grace
and strength to those that are bereaved.

A New Railroad.

There are many reasons to believe
that at no distant day trunk line OF
railroads connecting the lakes with
the gulf, will be built through Clarks-
vile. The unoccupied territory which
such road would reach calls for its
construction. The following is from
the Nashville American OF Tuesday:
A bill is before the Alabama Legis-
lature for charter to the Mobile &
West Alabama Railroad, The course
of the road is northward up to the
Tombigbee, through the coal fields to
Sheffield, on Tennessee River. Part
of the road between Mobile and jack
son, in Clarke County, is built and
another part from Newbern to Union
town is graded. At Newbern, where
the line taps the Selma & Akron road,
it is proposed to unite with the Ala
bama Great Southern and run over
this road from Newbern to Tuscaloosa.
From the latter point it is proposed to
extend the line northward to the ter
minus of the Sheffield road now be-
ing constructed. At Sheffield the
road would meet the Indiana, Ala
bama & Texas, road, which, when COM
pleted, would make grand trunk
line from the Ohio River to Mobile
The part of the road which would
have TO be built is gap of rs miles
from Jackson to Negberp, aPd 81
miles from TuscalooS& to the termi-
nus of the Sheffield Road "a
The charter gives the counties
through which the road runs the priv
ilege of hiring its convicts, county
and State, to the railroad company if
the County Commission of these
counties chosen to do so.

Adeline Swift.

Sister Adeline Swift was born in the veal
1881, in Montgomery CO., Tenn, and depart.
ed this life Jan. 6, 1885. She was the daughter
of Thomas Ogburn, of this county. She first
married Bradley Martin, by whom she had
three children. After living a widow for
some years she then married DIR. Geo. II
Swift, by whom she had three children.
Sister Swift professed religion at Salem,
on Antioch circuit, about Is years ago. She
was a faithful Christian woman In the diff
ferent relations of life. AS a mother she
knew no WEAKNESS, but 10 the contrary, she
was vigilant, constant, patient, and loving
70 the last.
AS wife, she knew her place and filled 1t
well. She was q helpmeet in the full sense
of the word suffering no grief to sadden
the heart of him that she loved without
coming 20 his rescue with her smiles of SYM
pathy and words Of encouragement. Such
a wife husband ought to love in life. in
death, and beyond the river.
AS neighbour, she was just such as every
one needs helping the needy. encouraging
the respondent, speaking kindly of her
neighbors, loving devotedly her friends and
willing TO throw the veil of charity over the
foibles of the unfortunate.
She was stricken down with paralysis aud
was a sufferer for long time, yet she bore 1t
like true soldier, and died triumphant and
went to heaven. May the childred forget
not the faithfulness of their mother, and
meet her In heaven. b. NJ. STEPHENS.

From Rev. ). W. cullom.

To the Chronicle:
This Monday morning the rain is
coming down in torrents and / am
rather glad of II, as it ;,iiords, preiexi
for rest. Yesterday preached thres
times and married couple, snd don't
natt 10 du i.ny hard work to-day.
Writing little letter to the CHRoN-
IcLE is easy work, and cannot afford
to be entirely idle. For eighteen years
the CHRONICLE has been making
weekly visits to our fireside, and has
become one of our household treas
ures. About the time we commenced
taking it we were at 10. Grants one
night and 10. told his little girl to
hand him the Christian Advocate.
Hattie informed him that the Chris
tan Advocate was not at hand but she
could hand him the Christian CHRoN-
ICLE, and ever since in our two fam
lies your paper has borne that name.
For little while 1 was not in sympa-
thy with some of your views, but
must confess that now 1 see nothing
from your pen that | do not endorse.
For many years there has been a
strong personal friendship between
friend Savage and myself. / have
slept in his room and eaten at his Ia
BILE and preached to him from the
pulpit. And we used to resemble each
other so much that perhaps not less
than fifty persons at different times
have shaken hands with me and called
me Col. Savage. Sitting in the hotel
in Murfreesboro one day was savage
ly greeted by the host, who ran up
and extended his hands, but stopped
short and explained when he discover
ed his mistake. Mr.. Bloch, of your
city, and DR.. Rye, of the county, have
had also to explain themselves out of
cases of mistaken identity to persons
who thought they were greeting the
Southside pastor. / like John Savage,
but am glad he is out of his Office, and
if you will just hit the commission
and spare my bachelor friend l shall
think you are great man and level
headed editor.
We are all well and happy, but if
| could strike your city, cross the
river at Edmondson's ferry, dine with
Thee Wyatt,and then spend two weeks
among friends of that delictable re-
gion, the great Exposition at the Cres-
cent City would be nothing in COM
parison to it-at least to me.

PRESTON SLAYDEN the Dickson
county forger, was convicted last
week, the jury assessing his punish
ment at seven years in the peniten-
tiary. The court reduced it to five
years, and ordered that the three other
cases against him be dismissed and we
think it a just yet merciful decision,
for five years in our State prison is
enough to xiii almost any man. 1t is
not the severity of punishment that
prevents crime, but the certainty of
its being melted out to each and every

THE beauty of this climate is its
great variety. We have had weather
of every description this week and the
mercury has darted from one extreme
to the other with astonishing rapidity.
Monday morning it was warm and
spring-Hke, and we were treated to a
thunderstorm with considerable rain
and hail. From that time it grew
rapidly colder, and reached the climax
at 7 o'clock Wednesday morning, when
the thermometer registered two de-
grees below zero. Thursday alter
noon it was again sunshiny and pleas
ant. The streets were thronged with
ladies, and men were out without their
overcoats. Friday morning the citi-
zens were surprised to find the ground
carpeted with two inches of snow. As
we go to press (at noon Friday the
sun is shining again in Il genial way
aud probably we will have another
touch of spring Saturday.

Amusements.

Messrs. Elder and Wood are exhib
iting commendable energy in the
management of the Opera House this
season, and SO far, their enterprise hrs
been fairly supported, the attendance
being generally good in spite of mot
forbidding weather.
. This week we have had Elliott
Barnes play, The Farmers Daughter,
with Miss Lillian Lewis in the princi-
pal character,and Mr.Miln in Bulwers
Richelieu and Wednesday eye,- Feb.
18th, we are to have Mr.. Raymond in
The Mighty DGlar Also, now Mr..
Wayne Wilson has formed anew his
broken columns, we are after all to
hear the missing Levy Concert Com
pany," and instead of Josh Billings the
well known humorist, "Burdett, whose
humor we consider to be of better
quality than that of Josh Billings.
That is pretty good bill of fare.
The Farmers Daughter played to a
good house ON Tuesday night is one of
those vigorous sensational pieces
which with literary merit of no high
order presents situatins tor forcible
dramatic effects: of these Miss Lillian
Lewis availed herself with much abil-
ity alternating intense passion with
brilliant vivacity. Refinement of
manner and delicate discrimination
in expression are things not called for
in dramas of this school nor is their
absence felt as defect; suffice it that
the audience cordially appreciated
what was there without grumbling at
what was absant.
Mr.. Min appeared on Thursday
evening.
Richelieu is the most effective his
torical play of the present. century
and, since Macready's personation of
its principal character in 1889, every
tragedian of prominence has essaytd
the part.
Mr.. Min has evidently studied with
care and thoroughness the character
of the astute and terrible cardinal but
in embodying his conceptions was
terribly impeded by the effects of a
bad cold from which he was evidently
suffering. This makes it impossible
to criticise his elocution; his presen-
tation OF the more tragic features of
the character was very impressive but
he seemed less successful in the scenes
where the Cardinal unbends and in
dulges in dry humor or pungent sar-
casm. In all the greatest characters |
Of the English drama much versatility |
IS required, for our best writers always
see more than one side of character
and, ii the actor is less versatile, some
Of the authors best thoughts are lost.
Still Mr.. Minis performance was high
y satisfactory and an agreeable relief
after the long succession of modern
plays
