Callahan Record: We learn that on
Sunday last a terrific cyclone passed
through our neighboring county of Brad
ford. Fortunately no lives were lost,
but the farmers over q large stretch OF
country sustained heavy damage by the
destruction of their crops and fencing.
Several farm houses were also destroyed.
Gainesville Ne,cs: Hon. E. C. +.
Sanchez and others, of this city, have pur-
chased valuable piece Of property on
Tampa Bay, known as Paul's Landing
It is the only point on the Bay where
deep water runs up to the shore, the
depth of water at this point being about
% feet. 1t is surmised that Paul's Land
ing will ultimately become the terminus
of the Plant system of railroads.
Madison Recorder: The fisheries on
the Gulf coast are now in full blast and
parties pass through every day thither-
ward. Fish are reported to be plentiful
and in fine condition III. r. Duval, the
new Vice-President of the F. r. d n.
Co. passed over the road few days since.
1t is to be hoped that the new manage
ment will proceed at once to put the
road in thorough repair, that it will be
q source of pride instead of reproach
and burden to the country through which
it passes.
Cedar Kew Journal: The loss of the
drill in the artesian well over ten days
ago proved a serious draw back. -Four
or FIVE d.y. w're spent in futile efforts to
get it out aud finally the contractor
abandoned the bore and started third
shaft which j. making good progress. Up
to this time depth OF lis feet has been
reached. The third bore of the artesian
we'll came to grief on Wednesday at
about lis feet depth by getting the in
side casing jammed so that it broke in
the attempt to draw it out. This necessi-
tates new start.
Sanford Jovnal: Some days ago as
a sixteen months old colt of Mr.. Magru-
der's was grazing on the shore Of Lake
Jessup, in the Caldwell field, an immense
alligator concluded that it would he a
dainty morselA and at once went for it,
making terrible wounds in one of the
colts rear legs, In the knees and thigh,
also on the hip bone above and under
meath, in the little things side, when the
animal escaped. He was found some
days later and the wound dressed by Mr..
j.. 6. Rawls, who says the little horse
will recover. This is no fish story" as
the colt can be seen at Magruder's livery
stable.
Orange City Times The passenger
travel on the St. Johns is unusually large.
Every steamer leaving Jacksonville ia
crowded i. i. /. Track laying on the ]. T. &
K. w. Road, We learn, will reach Seville

the road east of Deep Creek. During
the storm last Sunday the sea rolled high
at New Smyrna and the boats were jam
med and smashed generally. The steam
er Athlete was pressed up to the Ocean

Green Cove Spring.: Sheriff Black
received an order from Judge Baker, on
Saturday last, calling an extra term of
the Circuit Court for this county, to con-
vene on the &c inst. This is as it should
be, and we are glad, not only on account
OF the prisoners who await the action of
the court, bnt also to see that Judge Bak-
er has recovered his health sufficiently to
be able to attend to the duties of his Of
flee. The box factory which was re-
Gently established here will begin filling
orders next week. The enterprising pro-
prietor has also prepared to furnish sawed
wood, which will prove a great conven-
fence to the house keepers of Green
Cove.

Clerk of the town of Quincy, received

of about 20 steps, fired through a crack,
from the house of the slayer. There was
a difficulty between the parties about a

Fort Myers Press: Rev. e. s. Will
liams, of the Episcopal diocese of Florida,
arrived in Fort Myers on Wednesday,
coming up from Punta Rassa with Mail
Contractor T. p. Kantz. He will remain
for two weeks and purposes the organiza-
ton of an Episcopal church in Fort
Myers. Mr.. NJ. +. Guideus sends us
pair Of Charlotte Harbor limes," which
are certainly very curious lines. They
are more the form of lemons, and we
conclude must be hybrid between the
lemon and the lime. When we try their
quality we will be able to report further.
The fruit is quite handsome in shape, and
10 no doubt q cross between the lemon
and the lime.
