The Memphis Avalanche, of a late date, tells the
following marvelous caterpillar story:
“For
several days past myriads of little black caterpillars have appeared in various
sections in this vicinity. On the line
of the Mississippi and Tennessee Railroad, a few miles south of this city, they
covered the railroad track to such an extent that the wheels of the railway
trains refused to pass over them, but whirled around with such velocity that
the trains stood still. Upon reaching
the “varmints” the locomotive crushed them with a popping, snapping sound for a
few hundred foet [sic], and when the wheels were
greased with fat, it would stop, and not until the track was swept and sanded
would the wheels perform their duty.
Shortly after passing the caterpillars again swarmed over the rails, and
the next passing train had the same work of sweeping to perform.
They have
also been seen, though less numerously, on the
It is
stated that a little lake or sheet of water, some seven miles from the city,

armies in the rear. This phenomenon is
the most remarkable incident of the season, and non can account for the unexpected

furnish and complete our house of worship at this place; and whereas, the
Duncan Sunday School has and is being handsomely furnished with a suitable Libraty of useful Books by Mrs. M.D.B. Duncan, and feeling
that it is a duty that we owe to ourselves to give some expression to our
feelings of gratitude for these and other acts of Christian charity and love –

Commissioners named in the Charter met the present week and organized as a town
Council. They elected Judge Brown as
Chairman of their body, and appointed Judge J.B. Jones Marshal for the present
year, and Hamilton Perry, Esq., Clerk of Council.
From the
character of the Board, the public can safely expect a discreet exercise of
authority. They will not be likely to
adopt any ordinances but such as are requisite to the good government of the
town, and be as indulgent in their inforcement [sic]
as consistent with their duty as public servants.
Unintentional
violations of town ordinances will no doubt be leniently dealt with until the
public is made familiar with them by publication. But should any one take it into his head to
set law at defiance, after due notice thereof, we feel safe in saying Mashal Jones will bring him up standing.

council will act advisedly for the best interests of the town, and that they
will have the hearty co-operation of the citizens of both town and county.

How to Spell. – Often, in writing, a simple word is required, of the orthography of
which the writer is not sure. The
dictionary may be referred to, but it is not always convenient. An easy mode is to write the word on a piece
of waste paper, in two or three ways of which you are in doubt. Nine times in ten, the mode which looks right
is right. Spelling, particularly English
spelling, is so completely a work of the eye, that the
eye alone should be trusted. There is no
reason why “receive” and “believe” should be spelled differently, yet sounded
alike in their second syllables. Yet
write them “recieve” and “beleive,”
and the eye shows you the mistake at once.
The best way for young people, and, indeed, people of any age, to learn
to spell is to practice writing. Cobbett taught his children grammar by requiring that they
should copy their lessons two or three times.
These lessons he himself gave them in the form of letters; and his
French and English grammars are two of the most amusing books in the English
language. Of course “learning to spell”
came in incidentally.
