New Mad- rid, Mo., suffered considerably from the quane, several of score. or more tn (habitants being killed, and its cemetery caved into the Mississippi; and the oodies were borne away-by the current. Reelfoot is known as the hunters' and fishers' paradise; and, it, deserves ' that appellation, which it has had 'almost since its formation. Around its borders can be found bear, deer,' turkeys and squirrels, Vh'ile; ' within ' - its,, wfctery depths abound a great- variety, of .fish, including bass, trout, croppies, bream; perch;, pike, buffalo, idrum-'and ' catfish: Then there is a fish in -the Jake known as the alligator sar,, which. is', almost as voracious as the shark.
