NEW BL00MFIELD, TENN'A. Tuesday, July 4t 1S71. Important Notice. With the commencement of tho present volumo it was our intention to ndvanco our subscription prico; but as wo desired to fur nish our paper at the lowest possiblo rato, so as to bring it within tho roach of all, we determined to try tho experiment after tho enlargement, and sco if we could still keep our terms at $1.00 per year. After a trial of six months, wo find that justico to ourselves compels us to add more advertising and decrease the reading mat tor, or make a small increase in our sub scription terms. We havo consulted with with many of our subscribers, and tho unan imous wish seems to bo that we should keep our reading columns up to tho present standard, and make such incrcaso in prico as will cnablo us so to do. Wo shall, therefore, after tho 6th of Au gust put our subscription prico to One Dollar and Twenty-Five Cents Per Year, which is only an advanco of half a cent per week. All thoso whoso subscription is not yet out, will, of course, continue to re coivo TrtE Times without any increased charge for such timo as they have paid, and all who subscribe or renew previous to tho dato when the chango in prico takes place, can havo tho advantage of tho present low rale. To all, however, who renew or subscribo for TnE Bloomfiei.d Times aftor August fith, tho terms will be One Dollar and Twenty-Five Cents Ter Year. The Democracy of Maino hold a State Convention on Tuesday last and fully en dorso the "new departure." In fact, tho whole series of rcsoliition8,cx cept thoso finding fault with the adminis tration of tho party in power, would be as appropriate for a Republican as a Demo cratic convention. A dispatch from Washington, dated last Tuesday, says : " A warrant for a largo payment to tho Btato of Pennsylva nia for raising troops will go through the Treasury to-day. It was held up by the secretary, owing to a squabble- as to who should receive tho money, and tho ofllclals say that tho circumstances wcro of such a despicable character that they should not be mado public. TnE Methodist Book Committee have decided, by a voto of 11 to 4, that tho charges of misbehavior mado by Dr. Carl ton against Dr. Lanaiian are well founded and have therefore removed him from his office of Assistant Book Agent. Only four members of the Committee opposed this action Messrs. Pike, Bmcer, Malt by, and Vebnon. If we are not misin formed the Bishops of tho church have yot 4o be consulted, and the judgement of the Committee needs thoir approval to give it dull effect. On the Bishops, therefore, rest tttie responsibility of determining the posi ition which the Methodist Church shall tako before the world In regard to the matter. Verdicts of "temporary insanity " are fast becoming a great evil. Almost every juuideror is now defended on that plea, and it will soon be so that every murder er will go unpunished and no man' life Will he safe. The most absurd verdict of this kiud was given last week in Charles County Md., the particulars of which are furnished by a local paper as follows : On Tuesday of last week on aged colored man, named Thomas Proctor, was shot and lnstanly killed by Dr. Bean, at his residence jioar Ccntervillo. Proctor entered the room ivlhero Dr. Bean was, and soon a dispute ouuse between them, when Bean seized a shot gun and fired at Procter's head, literally tearing off tho entire upper part pi hi xkulL The jury returned a verdict that the deceased caino to his death at tbo hands of H. H. Bean, whilo laboring under a temporary fit of insanity. tW A "well t do" farmer residing near Hemstoad Long If-limd was arrested last woek, charged witli highway robbery. Tlie pedlar whom ho robbed fully identified him. The man has always borne a good character heretofore, but now there are sev eral rofibei ies which no doubt win be f raced to him. A Teacher Mnrdcrcd In Sight of her Scholars. Miss Anna D wight, a school mistross, was murdered on the 22d ult., near La Orange, Ind., by a young man named Chaunccy Barncs,of Elkhart co. Barnes left his fath er'shouse the day before, walked to Whito Pigeon, four miles distant, hired a horso and buggy there, and taking with him a woman whoso name and character aro not yet known, wont to tho school-houso where Miss Dwight was teaching. Miss Dwight was at the timo enjoying tho noon recrea tion with tho school children on tho margin of the lako near by, when Barnes and tho woman drovo up. Tho woman called Miss Dwight to the buggy sido, when Barnes alighted and asked her to walk witli him, as ho wished to speak to her privately. She consented and they went a short dis tance and sat down on a log and conversed a few minutes, when Barnes was seen to rise, draw a revolver from his pocket and fire two shots at her. Sho fell at the first fire. Ho then presented tho pistol at his own head and fired several times. Two children ran frightened to a noighbor near by, who ran immediately to the spot, found Miss Dwight dead, and tho young man re loading his pistol. Ho and the unknown woman wcro promptly placed iu custody, and Burgeon Elliott, of Whito Pigeon, sent for. Tho doctor reports four wouuds in Barnes' head, two of which entered tho brain, and that this would eventually prove fatal. An e Am ination of the parties was had before Justico Galloway, tho young man committed to jail, and tho woman held to bail in the sum of $1,000 Charles Dwight, tho father of the murdered girl going her bail. Tho young man was com mitted to jail on tho 22d ult. Other physicians aro not so certain as to tho seriousness of his wounds. Great excitement prevails in tho vicinity of tho homicide The neighbors aro prepared to finish tho work tho young man attempted on himself, but Mr. Dwight protested against it, and a better judgment prevail ed. Thcro is somo comment on tho fact of the fathor of tho murdered girl bailing tho woman. Tho only supposed cause of the crimo is tho rejection of Barnes as a suitor a short time ago, and tho acceptance by Miss Dwight of the attentions of anoth er person! A Soda Lake. Tho soda lake, recently found at Inde pendence rock, is one milo and a halt in circumference, and it is estimated that at least 00,000 tons of soda can be gathered from it annually at a cost of two dollars per ton. The lake is replenished from springs which seem to rise from the bod-rock, which is composed of a kind of granite containing soda felspar. Tho location was mado for a surface deposit, and for alum, soda, borax and all other alkaline substances. Tho lake is sixty-five miles distant from Iiawlings, on tho Union Pacific railroad. There aro doubtless in that State many de posits of soda equally as good as Uiat men tioned above, and somo of them, perhaps, near tho railroad. Our prospectors will do well to keep an eye open during thoir trav els through tho country for soda, alum, borax, salt, sulphur, etc., as deposits of all these minerals aro likely to become very valuable at no distant day, now that the great railroad is completed. There seems to be no end of won ders in California. The latest is a remarkable cavo In Calaveras, wherein col umns and pilasters, ornamented at thoir capitals with volutes and modillions, at ir regular intervals, enlist the visitor's atten tion; while fine representations of tapestry, cornice, and fresco work aro engraved and plainly visible on its walL AU forms im aginable hang suspended, presenting all the variegated colors of tho rainbow, and brilliantly sparkle from tbo pale light of a candle like a thousand diamonds, whilo a like proportion of stalagmites underneath, with their sugar-coated surfaces, are con stantly presented to view. Here and thoro, it is aklod, are carelessly piled bruised and broken fragments of those appropriate em blems (f Infinite wisdom that have suc cumbed to the normal destructive qualities of man. tW One of tho humorous papers has a very funny cut. It illustrates this sceno : An old gent is walking in his garden. Presently the milkman comes along, out sido the high garden wall, and gives his customary yelh Old gont hears something, but being vei-y deaf, Is unable to make out just what is wanted j so ho puts his car trumpet in place, and elevating tho bell end over tho edge of tho wall, exclaims : " Here !" Milkman takesit for a dish and empties a quart of milk into the old man's car, and goes on about his business I It is about as ludicrous a situation ns can be imagined. Z3?

Tho Walnut Valley (Kansas,) Timet of Juno 17, says : Last evening Eldorado and surrounding country was visited with ono of the most terrible storms ever known in this part of tho State. About 8 o'clock in tho ovoning a storm enmo up from tho northwest, a companicd with wind, hail and rain, and beforo the pcoplo had timo to make any preparation for it, the hurricano swept through tho town. Tho clouds wore of inky blackness ; the vivid flashes of light ning, accompanied by crashing thunder, caused our citizens to feel that tho storm was of no ordinary magnitude. Every mo ment tho galo increased, and, as the rain camo down in torrents, tho situation bo camo moro fearful. Every momentary lull in tho storm only seemed to incrcaso its fury, and in fifteen minutes from tho commencement, men, women and children could bo seen flying through tho strccts,sceking protection from tho falling houses. By this timo tho air was filled with flying timbers. Largo houses wcro completely demolished ; others were unroofed, while others, wore lifted from their foundations and carried by tho wind from forty to two hundred feet. And yet thcro seemed to bo no lull in tho storm. As we stood by the window, gazing out ward, we could plainly sco houses toppling over. The roar of the storm was tcrriblo and the earth seemed to tremble beneath our feet. We have been unablo to got any particu lar news from tho surroundmg country, but for four or five miles around, tho same wholesalo destruction seems to bo visible. Houses wcro blown down, fences destroyed and tho crops ruined. Many of our pcoplo aro left in destituto circumstances. Our town this morning presents a most woe-begono appearance Pcoplo who wcro in comfortablo circumstances yesterday, I aro to-day left without anything. Over 150 families havo temporary homes with their neighbors. Most of these pcoplo are destituto and stand in need of immedi ate relief. A dead man has been taken out of tho Walnut river. Several persons will dio from injuries received. High water pre vents us lrom receiving fuller reports. Reward of Perseverance. A California correspondent in writing about mines, says: Alvinza Hayward is tho hero of a storv equal to " Mouto Cristo." Ho is a Vcrmon- ter, who operated with a man named Cham borlaine in a gold lead which was full of in dications, but yielded nothing tangible Chambcrlaino at last went away disconso late, giving Hayward all his interest. The latter worked at tho thing for months, and was buried deeper and deeper into tho ground, but at last his family wcro next to starving : all his laborers left him. and ho knew of no friend in tho world except (jnambcrlaine. " My God 1" ho said to this man, who had meantime been engaged in stock-raising, " I am on the vorgo of this great strike. I know it ! Can't you give mo a littlo mon ey?" Chambcrlaino had boon on the verge him self several times, and he shook his head sadly. But he had $3,000, his all, buried under a haystack near by, and ho wont and dug it up. "Tako it, old fellow," ho said, with Cal ifornia heartiness ; "do your best 1" With this money Hayward recommenced, and ho had worked until it was all spent, and his men were reduced to a bag of beans for nourishment, when to tho gloom of hope tho precious ore blazed suddenly up ; tho Amador mino was the richest iu tho world. When this mine was paying $40, 000 a month, Hayward mado over to his friond ono perfect third of it. Chamber laine retired upon 11,500,000, and moved East to educate his children, Hayward buying back tho whole. Finally, even Hayward crew tired, and ho sold out the mino to a stock company, of which Gen. Colton is President. Tho mino will make f 4!i0,000 net this year. C3?An amusing incident occurred in a clairch, at Hockaway, on a recent Sunday, caused by the sudden derangement of a Mrs. Abrams. The minister was drawing a picture of tho awful condition of the wick ed and their ultimate fato, when the crazed woman arose, having removed her bonnet. addressed the minister in this way : " I know your hints are intended for me ! you are throwing your hints at me ! that's what you aro doing." Then turnimr around, sho pointed to a lady near hor, saying: " There sits old Mrs, Smith wiping her nose ! what do you think will become of her?" A light smilo passed ovor tho surfaco of tho congregation just then, and Mrs. A. was at; onco removed. C3T Two burglars endeavoring to effect an entrance upon the premises of a citizen of Cincinnati a few nights ago wcro driven away and nearly frightened out of their senses by tho shrill cries of a monkey that was perched upon a window sill, and had been watching their operations with groat interest until they approached him so neor ly as to excite his apprehensions in re gard to his personal safety. A local jour nal says if that monkey has a fair (banco to develop, ho may yet bo found occupying tho responsible position of (.bier of Police. tST Tho lato tornado lu Mason, Illinois, was one of the most terrific ever known in this country. Tho Advertiur says : " But tho most wonderful of all tho phe nomena connected with this tornado Is, that column of whirling air must have been Intensely hot, as is shown by tho fact that that every spear of grass, stalk of corn and wheat ovory groon thing in its path wore literally dried to a crisp. Tho prairie grass along tho storm's track, which was luxuriantly green before tho tornado passed, was left as brown and dead as it was found in midwinter. The loaves of the hedge where the tornado passed across its way crumbled as do the dead, dry leaves of tho forest aftor tho blasting autumn frost has dono its work. The young corn which stood in its way is as black ns if a wither ing flro had passed through it. Another feature of this tornado was, that whilo its rotary motion must have been of incon ceivably great velocity, its progressive mo tion was not abovo tho rato of six miles an hour. Tho outlines of its pathway were so well defined that flvo feet from tho outer lino of total destruction of vegetation of every kind, not a vestigo of its effects could bo seen. In fact, tho outlines of its path of destruction wcro almost as clearly marked as that of a mower's swath through tho meadow, and its work more complete Fortunately no houso stood in tho torna do's lino of march. It passed between a farm houso and bam but cscapod both. Its onward movement was so slow that man or beast, if in its way, could easily es cape Tho progressive motion of a torna do is usually at tho rate of thirty to sixty miles an hour ; the fact of this ono moving at tlio rate of six miles per hour was most singular. Tlio path of a tornado is usually a quarter or a half milo in width ; this ono was but twenty to eighty feet in width. This is anothor unusual foaturo." Horrible. Tho Altoona Tribttne says: On Friday mor ning last, between New Florence and Johns town, a train of ears ran over Mr. K. Accoon cutting off ono of his legs. Immediately after tho accident, two men happened that way, and instead of having the least com miseration for their victim, immediately sctupon him with stones, clubs,&e, and did beat hiin until dead, although ho begged haid for his life. They robbed him of his clothing, cut his throat and threw his car cass into a spring of water near by. They then proceed to build a huge fire, and, im provising a turn spit with a spawl of rail road iron, drew tho body from tho water, fastened it to tho skewer and roasted it before tho fire. The cannibals secured somo bread and condiments from a neigh boring farm house, and feasted upon the remains of their unfortunate victim. It is needless to say that it was the first "square meal"-that two jour printers had had for several days, and they know how to turn everything to a good account in an emer gency" Well, "roast Coon" is not bad eating. History of tho Wor in Europe. The National Publishing Co., of Phila delphia, have just issued a very valuablo history of the late War between Germany and France, from tho jicn of ono of our most popular writers, Mr. James D. McCaiie, J it. In a largo volume of 800 octavo pages, the author tells a wonderful storv all t.)m stranger because of its truth. lie tolls of battles which have shaken Europe to its centre, and tho consequences of which, even we of the Western World must feel ; of patriotism, heroism, military skill arid statesmanship, never surpassed in history. Tho author writes with tho weight and force of truth, and tho merits of his book are its reliability and strict impartiality. The book is complete in every particular. It describes the causes of the war, and the events which proceeded it ; the opening campaign, and tho first reverses upon the French pcoplo ; tho frantic effort to rescue the beaten army, and tho terrible disaster of Sedan ; the capture of the Emperor Na poleon, and an entire army ; the devolution in Paris ; tho rise and formation of the Uo publio ; tlio flight of tho Empress from Paris ; tho siege and surrender of Strasbourg and the frontier fortresses of France ; the triumphal advanco of the German armies to Paris ; the efforts of Bazaino to escape from Metz, and the final surrender of his army ; the investment and selgo of Paris ; tho detailed history of this great siege ; its plans, sorties, battles, successes and fail ure ; tho course of events in the boleagured city, given in tho form of a full diary of the events of the siege ; the campaigns on tho Loire, and in other por tions of France ; tlio ieace negotiations, tho surrender of Paris, and the treaty j the na val history of the war ; the diplomatic his tory on both the German and French sidcB ; the history of the formation of tho great German Empire ; tho proclaiming of King William, Emperor, and the realization of Gorman unity; tho events of tho civil war and second siege of Paris, its terrible scenes of bloodshed mid vandalism, with a min uteness, graphicncKB and brilliancy, which leaves nothing to be desired. No intelli gent person can afford to be uninformed as to those events which have left so deep an impression on tho world's history, and few will fail to read this splendid work ; or, having read it, to endorse it as tho Stan dard American History of tlii War. In this ago of sensational literature, wo cannot too highly commend this brilliant mm iJioiiclitlul narrative to our minium. The book is handsomely bound, and illus trated with 150 maps, portraits, battle scenes, and views of tho principal localities connected with the war. No expense has been spared by the publishers to inako it worthy of tho support of the public, and wo predict for it an immense sale, especially as its low price brings it within the reach of all. It is published in both English and German, .Mild by subscription only, ond the publishers want agents in every county. A Dream Comes True. A Richmond paper of last week says that a gentleman living in Wilkes county, S. C, sold land to his neighbor for 1,000. Busi ness calling hiin away soon after, ho left the money with his wife. On returning ho stopped over night with.a friend ten miles from his homo. Ho dreamed that men had entered his houso, murdered his wifo and two children, stole his money, and destroyed his proporty. Ho askod a pedlar to accom pany him at once to his homo. On arriving ho found his wifo murdorcd, and two men counting out tho money ho had loft with hor. Ho and tho pedlar being armed, fired upon tho men and killed them. Thoy turn od out to bo the man to whom he had sold tho land, and his son. A Horrible Accident. A farmer was decapitated by a mowing machine with which ho was at work on his premises, near Southport, Ind., last Tues day afternoon. At tho timo of tho accident the farmor was examining some portions of tho machino which had got out of gear, when tho horses attached, suddenly started causing tho blades to revolve, one of them ' striking tho man in tlio back of tho neck, severing tho head from the body as clean as though guillotined. A youthful son witnessed tho tcrriblo accident, and, dumb with horror, grasped the head by tho ifair and ran with it into his mother's presence. New Advertisement.
