The Thorne Comedy Company gave three rollicking plays Monday sight, for the benefit of the Milan Brass Band. A good house was pres ent, and every one was well pleased.

We commend this whole troupe to' the play-going public as artists of merit and ladies and gentle men in the true sense. Small Fruit. It is said the fruit-growers about Gadsden have already made up three hundred and twenty-six thousand quart boxes, ready to commence ship ping strawberries by the first ef May. It is estimated that it will cost them between eight and ten thousand dol lars to gather the strawberry crop this year, at two and a half cents a quart The strawberry raisers around here are preparing to ship from thirty to fifty thousand quarts this season. Next season it will be more than quad rupled, if nothing happens. Besides, large quantities of other kinds of fruit and vegetables will be shipped from here. . In another year or two a can ning establishment would pay well here. This is bound to be headquai ten for fruit and vegetables. '.There's millions in it" J. FOIIODICAL8.

The most prominent ot these is perhaps Col. Waring's discussion of the organ ization and woik of "Village Im provement Associations." Supple menting this, in the "Home and So ciety" department, are directions on 'Transplanting," by P. T. Quinn. In closing his series on House-Furnishing, Mr. Clarence Cook makes a plea for individuality of living, and claims that care and taste are needed more than wealth tomakea beautiful home. Other illustrated papers deal with " Smith College," Northampton , Mass. , the only institution for women, it is laid, where Greek is a test of admis sion ; " Sea-Trout Fishing" along a tributary of the St Lawrence, by A.

John G. Whittier furnishes the opening poem entitled " Red Riding Hood" and one of the sweetest in verse and tone that the good poet has writ ten for many days.

Milan IvnXAN, TENN., coorr if news. In General. More rain more rest, and more grass on the farm. We repeat our advice of last week plant more corn and less cotton. The wheat outlook is still good. The farmers who sowed largely last fall will make it pay this season. The peach crop in the Hope Hill neighborhood is said to be very prom ising. We hope some of our friends there will remember that we have no peach trees at our house. We hope our readers will seriously consider the propriety of voting a tax for school purposes at the election next month. The State tax is only ten cents now, and we cannot longer grumble about high taxes. Besides, one of the first things immigrants in quire about is what kind of schools are in the country they propose mov ing to. Let us vote the tax and have good schools for every child in the county. We will thus gain in intel ligence, gain in reputation, gain in morals, and gain in population. Trenton. From the Trentoa Mirror. - Grand larceny Charity Toombs sentenced three years in the Peniten tiary. An appeal to the supreme court was granted. Dr Hoyt delivered a lecture at the Presbyterian Church last Tuesday night upon the lives of Cicero and Paul.

Adolphus Pickler imprisoned for theft, made his escape from the jail last Tuesday. He asked the jailor's son to bring him the keys, which the unsuspecting little fellow did, and Pickler departed from his boarding house for parts unknown, with all the world before him where to choose, and improvident nature for his guide except when he by accident appro priatee, the owner not being present. Humboldt. From tho Humboldt Herald The waters in the river bottom are higher now than they have been in years, being over the levee. From the number of robberies, and from the concerted manner in which they are perpetrated, we are led to believe that an organized baud of thieves infest the town. We are glad to learn that the young men who went from this coun ty to California to make their fortunes, Ambrose and White Smith, Frank Saunders, Willie Jones. Ben Williams and WiU Yandell, are succeeding finely. Success to you, young men, From the Unmboldt Journal. Peter Wells, (coL) was lodged in jail on Tuesday morning, for stealing money frem Weddingtou Bros.

The Methodist Sunday-school is preparing for a'grand concert on the first night in May. We have been present at the rehearsals and think the programme is excellent, and will richly repay any one for at'eiding. The price of admission will be 25 cents, chiidrtn 15 cents. The pro ceeds are to be appropriated to buy a library for the school. Kenton. April 23, 1877. . Another week has flown and has been added to the irrevocable past, and it again becomes our pleasant privilege to contribute a few items to your worthy paper. The recent rains have to a very considerable extent retarded the planting of crops in this vicinity, and we now desire a few weeks ot fair weather. A neighbor of ours has justreturned from the north side of the Obion riv er and reports that the storm of last week played havoc in the vicinity of Palentine; dwellings, churches, saw mills and flouring mills were blown down, and in several cases persons were severely wounded thereby, and in one instance a negro killed in one of the houses; in fact considerable damage has resulted from the storm in this county. The streams are very full and rising. Rev. M. M. Taylor, pastor of the M. E. church, delivered several of his usual effective sermons here yes terday, to large and appreciative audiences. He is popular, and is the right nan in the right place. Suc cess to him. A concert for the benefit of Ken ton Academy will be given on the night of May 11th and we bespeak a crowded bouse. The programme is an interesting one, interspersed wilh APHIL 2G, 1877. characters, tableaux, music and reci tations, and we can safely promise a pleasant evening to those in atten dance, and to assert that the man agement of the affair devolves on Prof. Stephens and his efficient assis tant Miss Bowman, is simply to insure success. One of our loveliest belles has re turned from a visit of several weeks among friends in Dyer county and in compliance with the injunction of Holy writ " we rejoice with them that do fejoice" and hence rejoice with one of pur gallant beaux.- He has been ad, but on Sunday we met him and Lis heart was light and his face -beamed with smiles. Our sec tion boast f lovely belles, and occa- ionalsj when we look in the sunlight of their lovely smiles we are almost in the predicament of the children of Israel when Moses descended from Sinai and they could not look upon his faee on account of the glory that shone therein. Kenton has some winsome widows and Miss Grundy says that one of our worthiest young gentlemen is ter ribly matrimonial. It is now a generally conceded fact that our prospect for a peach crop has gone the way of a certain lot of ducks of traditional fame, said ducks sup posed to have been the property of a son of Adam, bearing the euphonious cognomen of Ward. We beg leave to remark par pamithese that he was no relative to Artemus. Our cornets are improving and pro pose rendering some choice music for the concert Primus. CARROLL. NEWS. In General.

Lawrence, won a $100 shot gun, raffled at the Orphans Fair, in Nashville, on the 16th inst This is bad news for the feathered tribe. Bananas were offered for sale in this market during the past week. This tropical fruit was the subject of a windy discussion by two wise Hunt ingdonites, one of whom argued that the banana was a native of Maine and Vermont, while the other stoutly maintained that they were a native of Tennessee, for he had many a time seen them growing on the land below the goose pond." Last Saturday night some one stole two mules, the property of Mr Sam W. Hawkins, from the stable of Mr Jake Gardner, who was keeping them. The same night Mr Henry Johnson lost two bridles and a saddle; the thieves also went to Mr Haywood Hilliard's residence and succeeded in getting two horses out cf his stable, when Mr Hilliard awoke, and shot at them, tjut without effact In the case of the State vs. Tap Stoton; ' indictment for murder, the counsel for the defense and the At torney General agreed that a verdict of guilty should be taken, and sen tence often years in the penitentiary pronounced by the court But when this arrangement whereby Tap was to be made a vassal for ten years was made known to him, he asserted his rights 'as a peer, and refused to "compj ' Thereupon Mr A.

Last Friday morning, about three o'clock, our citizens were suddenly awakened by the ringing of locomo tive bells, screaming of whistles and cries of fire. On investigation we found that the gin-house and contents, belonging to M. L. Baird, in the east ern part of town, had caught fire by some unknown means and was totally destroyed. A bale or two of cotton, a lot of corn, a number of plows and other property were in the house. Loss about $2000. No insurance. Fatal Accident.
