.’S ASB VIEWS.
—W. H. Ammoucls diod suddenly of
congestive chill on Monday night last in
Cothbert.
—A special from Atlanta to the Augus
ta Constitutionalist, soys that “Jeff Da
vis will bo offered the Chancellorship of
the University of Georgia at the coming
election. ’
Georgia exchanges hav-
i word of two syllables,
an equally appropriate
o glish word at command,
even lines of its space in
ubseriber tho meaning
of *ho French word. But the editor suc
ceeded in making known the fact that, he
understood French, or some French
words at least.
—The Ladies' Memorial Association of
Augusta have collected $14,127 for build
ing the Confederate monument in that
city and for the soldiers' graves, and
have $10,584 of it cash in hand.
—The Augusta Constitutionalist dis-
—One of our

are uncertain in their du-
hsngoablo by variant con-
tho courts—particularly the
•i, which has more business
before it than the present force of tho
Court can properly attend to. It says of
tho laws themselves : “Oar laws are not
honest; they are not certain; they are
not business-like or up to the age. The
very definition of law is that it is a rule of
action; but what sort of a rule can bo con
structed out of the interminable contra
dict; ens and refinements and distinctions
which disgrace our legislation and make
our courts pretty much so many Turkish
divans, where each Cadi does as seems
good m his own eyes. While such a state
of things exists we cannot hope for, and
do not deserve, the introduction of for
eign capital. True, we give it the same
measure of protection that we have our-
Bolves, and this equality is the only bright
epo in a dark picture, but it is a reflec
tion on our capacity for self-government
that all our internal industries are regula.
ted not by law, but legal chance.”
—The sexton‘s report shows that dur
ing the six months ending June 80th
21 whites and 22 negroes died in Rome.
Twenty of the deaths were from pneumo
nia and oonsumplion. We suppose that
the white population of Rome outnum
bers tho black at least two to one.
—Tho editor of the Meriwether Vindi
cator has capitally avenged himself on his
brother of the Marietta Journal. The
latter paper had insinuated that the bird
which lit upon tho head of the Meriwether
man was only in search of insects; where
upon tho editor of the Vindicator has
sent his old hat to him of tho Journal
Wo think that they are about even
and there is no need for their crossing
tho Chattahoochee.
—ZEsop’s fable of the owl, tho cat and
the sow, that all had their nests and
young in the same tree, is equalled by a
story in tho Cuthbc-rt Appeal. It tolls of
a cypress tree, eighteen foot and flve in
/, ',n’ .in _ circumfexcuce, which was cut
down by two young men of Calhoun
county, as a bee tree. The first cut they
mado into too fallen trunk, revealed the
nest of u sap-sucker and her young. Ten
feet above

and found more loather

n the counties of Randolph
, and Early are not up to the
of the last year or two, tho farm
, with favorable seasons, “reap an
it harvest.” Wo would sn
;ur Cuthbert friend that tho crops
farmers in those counties will
Le considerably above the avorage
do them to reap an “abundant*
harvest of corn.
—Tho Atlanta Constitution says it is
whispered that the meeting of railroad
offiei. h in its city on Wednesday was not
harmonious, but that the members aro
reticent. It understands that “about the
same ratos were agreed upon as now pre
vail” ; and that the convention will meet
quarterly—the next meeting to bo at Doer
Park Hotel, on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad.
Tho Atlanta Uerald says, concerning
tho convention of railroad men in its
city, that it “was thrown into a little dis
order by the refusal of the East Tennes
see and Virginia Air-Line and the South
Carolina Railroads to enter the pooling
combination of freights, proposed by the
various other lines. They did not object
to the reduction in rates, but held that it
was thoir privilege to act independently.
Finding that these roads were positive in
their refusal to enter the combination, the
other roads threatened to make every dis
crimination possible against these linos if
they did not enter the pool. The con
vention, after discussing the matter for
some time, decided to give the East Ten
nessee and Virginia Air-Line and the
South Carolina Koads ton days time to
consider the matter. At the end of that
time, if these roads still ref ago to enter
tho pool, they propose taking harsh
action.”
While Tennessee bonds arc soiling
down in tho forties, those of Georgia, a
Stale which was in the hands of the
carpet-baggers long after our emancipa
tion, are quoted as strong in Wall street,
recent sales having been made at 100[.—
Nashville Union, 2d.
Georgia was, it is true, under carpet
bag rule for a short time, but it was so
weak and precarious a rule that it had
constantly to receive new military prop
ping. The opposition was all the time so
strong as to prevent those harpies and
their negro and scalawag allies from plun
dering Georgia to.the extent practised in
other Southern States. Therefore Geor
gia was comparatively little injured by
them, and her finances have since, by
wiso Democratic inanegemont, been so
much improvod that her bonds are now
quolod far higher than those of any other
Southern State.
A dispatch from New York reports Mr.
Taylor, one of the jurors voting on Beech
er’s side, as saying that when tho jury
went out they stood’ pretty ovon. Aftor
the first day the average Lallotting stood
§ to 4, and finally the voting stood at 9
to 2. Their debates wero at this time
very violent and demonstrative, but there
was nothing like coining to blows.
ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Charlie.—Yes; there are quite a num
ber of books mentioned in the Bible
which aro now lost or unknown. They
are : Tho Prophecy of Enoch (kee epistle
to Judo"; xiv); the book of the Wars of
the Lord (Numbers xxi; 14); the book of
Joshua (Joshua x; 13—II Samuel i; 18);
tho bock of Iddo, the Seer (Chronicles
ix; 29; and xii; 15); the book of Nathan,
the Prophet (same reference); the Proph
ecies of Abijah, the Silonite (same refer
ence); the acts of llehoboam, in the book
of Sbemalah (II Chronicles xii; 15); the
book of Jehu, the son of Ilanani (II
Chronicles xx; 34);. the five books of
Solomon, treating on tho nature of trees,
beast, fowl, serpents and fishos (I Kings
ix; 32); the 151st Psairn.
William.—You have lost your wager.
On May 1st, the were 2,049 national
banks with a circulation of $322,532,-
330.
Anti-Commune.—One of tho comrnu-
ist maxims and there one which governs
their actions, is that no one has a right to
luxuries until every one is supplied with
necessities.
1lurry.—The brunettes are tho most
popular, or they lint less, for ominent
men have examined matrimonal,statistics
and discovered that of one hundred
blonde women, thirty-seven romain old
maids,of tho same number of bruuottes ull
but eight get husbands.
Grumbler.—We quote the following to
suit your case:
This world in truth’s as good a world
As e’er was known to any,
Who have not seen another yet,
And these were very many,
And if the men and women too
Have plenty of employment,
Those surely must be hard to please
Who cannot find enjoyment.
Early-riser.—No, not always. Dos
Cartes used to lie in bed very frequently
for twelve or fourteen hours iu the day
with curtain drawn. His fame as a math
ematician and philosopher will liv6 for
ever. Tompson, tho poot of the “Sea
sons, ” sometimes spent the whole of the
day in bed; while Rousseau and Pope
procured some of their best thoughts in
bed. Mezerai, the historian, always com
posed by candle light. These men were
not always sleeping when in bed.
Classic.—It was the Emperor Vespa
sian who, when dying, bade his attend
ants raise him to his legs, saying:
“Decet imperatorem slantem mori"—it
becomes an Emperor to die standing.
The Emperor Augustus Cmsar, who was
certainly one of the most plausible per
formers that ever trod the stage of the
world, asked those about his dyiDg bod if
he had played well his part; and, being
answered in the affirmative, replied:
lL Plaudite ! plauditc /”—then applaud.
Silversmith.—The only nickel mine in
tho United States that is worked, and the
largest in the world, is located in Lancas
ter oonnty, Penn. The ore has a gray
color, is very heavy, and so hard that it
is mined entirely by blasting. From 400
to 500 tons of the ore arc taken from the
mines per month, and tfio mining and
working requires tho labor of 175 hands.
Barber.—Shaving had its origin in
England in tho times of tho wars of the
Saxons and Normans. Tho smooth chin,
short hair and shaved lip woro adopted to
distinguish thoso obedient to tho Norman
rule, in contra-distinction to those Saxons
who manifested, by persovoring in tho
use of tho long hair and beard of their
ancestors, a fixed determination to free
thcmselvos whonovor possible.
Confederate.—Tho orijlamme (‘ ‘standard
of a golden flamo”) was tho ancient ban-
nor of Franco. It was a spear of gold
and silk, of tho color of gold and fire,
gashod in five points, each finished with
a green silk tassel. Tho royal standard
was a gilded staff, and white silk strowod
with fleurs-de-lis. The orijlamme was the
consecrated banner, fabled to have been
brought l>y an angel to St. Denis whose
name was inscribed on it. It was Bncred
to him, and was suspended over his tomb
and cover taken down, except to bo car
ried against lierotics or wlion the crown
was in danger. Then with its flaming
folds, shouting the war cry, “For God
and St. Denis !” tho knights rushed with
oonfidoneo into the fight. Tho crescent
of Mohammedanism had its origin in tho
fact that tho ancient city of Byzantium,
(now Constantinople) was saved from fall
ing into the hands of Philip and his army,
because their approach was betrayed to
the inhabitants by tho light of tho now
moon. They adopted the crescent, which
the Turks, when tho place came into
thoir possession, retained, bolieving it to
bo a good omon ami a promise of increas
ing power.
Candidate.—When a working man neg
lects his own trade and takes to politics,
the chancos aro ho will do politics no
good and inflict groat injury upon him
self, and still more inexcusable injury
upon his wife nnd ohildren, if he has
any.
Reader.—Tho flute with which John
Banyan, author of “Pilgrim’s Progress,”
beguiled the todiousnoss of prison life is
still preserved in England. In appear
ance, it does not look unlike the leg of a
stool, out of which, it is said, Banyan
manufactured it. Whon the turnkey, at
tracted by the sound of music, entered
the cell to ascertain, if possiblo, tho cause
of tho harmony, tho fluio was replaced in
the stool, and by this moans detection was
avoided.
Courtesy.—Common sense should rule
in such things. In walking, lot the lady
bo on your left, and stay there unless
you chango to give her the best road.
Nothing is more awkward than to chango
sides at every corner so that the lady
may he next the wall. It is a very ridicu
lous movement. Give a lady your left
arm, that your right may be free to pro
tect her, and to assist her if it be neces
sary. That idea originated the custom of
taking arms.
THE CEAUKE-AESTON AFFAIR.
Gen. A. C. Garlington, the friend of
Col. R. A. Alston, publishes in the Atlan-
ta Herald the correspondence and a state
ment of facts connected with the difficul
ty between Col. Alston and Gol. E.
Clarke of tho Constitution; and Mr. S.
W. Small, tho friend of Col. Clarke,
promises a similar publication to be mado
this morning. These separate publica
tions aro sufficient of themselves to show
that the difficulty, instead of being ad-
justed, has only been complicated by their
trip to Alabama, where a hostile corres
pondence between them was cut short by
officers coming to arrest them.
We notice the correspondence as fur-
cishod by General Garlington, and
should Mr. Small’s publication give any
now or variant facts, we wiil notice
thorn too. Colonel Alston, on the
24lh of June, addressed Col. Clarke di
rectly, calling upon him to name a time
and a place iu a contiguous State where
meeting could tako place, taking a friend,
but no “conspicuous arms,” ns that might
excite suspicion. Col. Clarke replied
that tho laws of Georgia forbado the send
ing or accepting of a challenge, and he
had once been indicted for that offence
therefore ho would not regard Col. Alston’
lettor as a challenge, but would go out of
the State for correspondence with him ab-
initio. On tho 29th of June, their respective
frionds having boon selected, Gen. Gar-
lington and Mr. Small had n meeting, at
which Col. Clarke's friend insisted
opening tho correspondence de novo in
Alabama, and Col. Alstons friend de
clined. Then followed correspondence
between these gentlemen, in which Gen.
Garlington asked Mr. Small to name the
weapons which Col. Clarke would choose;
also to consent that the parties carry the
weapons with them. Mr. Small declined
to do either, assigning as a reason that
Col. Clarke wanted to avoid a violation of
the laws of Georgia. On the 30th, Gen.
Garlington, quoting Col. Clarke’s pub
lished declaration that he was willing to
meet Col. Alston “in any way he niBy
choose to try me,” asked Mr. Small
“when and where Col. Clarke proposes to
meet Col. Alston beyond the limits of
this Stato to settle the difficulty botween
them.” Mr. Small replied that Col.
Clarke and himself would be in the imme
diate vicinage of West Point from dawn
until dark on Thursday, July 1st, unless
sooner relieved.
Arrived iu the vicinity of West Point,
according to tho published memoranda of
both parties, Mr. Small requested Gen.
Garlington to “unite with him in givinj
attontion to tho subject matter of the
controversy, with the view of as
certaining what manner of honora
ble means were unexhausted
the interests of an amicable
adjustment.” General Garlington
declined, because in his opinion “the
controversy had reached a point at which
no effort at an amicable adjustment could
be honorably roaohed. ” Aftor some fur
ther discussion on this point, it was agreed
that Col. Alston should send a note de
manding a prompt meeting with Col.
Clarko, and that the latter should accept
and aa immediate moeting be had. Gen.
Garlington closes his statement as fol
lows
While Col. Alston was engaged iu
writing tho note, Mr. Small left Dr.
Griggs’ house, saying that ho would re
turn in fifteen minutes. I replied, that
will do. I awaited his roturn till 8:15
o’clock—just three hours after our firs
meeting, when I was informed by Dr
Griggs, Jr., that officers wore on the
promisos with warrants to arrest Col
Alston and myself. Whoreupon wo re
tired from the house across the line of
Alabama into Georgia, which was only a
few paces. We were there approached
by the officers and informed by them tha
wo wore beyond tho jurisdiction of the
State of Alabama, hut that warrants woro
being prepared to arrest us in Georgia
I was informed that Mr. Small, whom
I had not seen since we parted
about C o'clock a. u., was at Dr.
Griggs’ house and desired to seo me.
replied that was impracticable, for if
passed tho line into Alabama (ho officers,
who were prosont, would arrest me. One
of the officers volunteered to deliver this
message to Mr. Small, which I suppose
was done. Being exposed to arrest on
both sides of tho line, it was thought ad
visable to avoid the officers, which wo did
l>y walking to Long Cano, six miles from
West Point. Tfeo delay of Mr. Small’s re
turn to rocoivotho note which I had con
sented Col. Alston should send cnlv upon
condition of an immediate meeting, in
my opinion rolioved Col. Alston from nny
obligation to hold further communication
with Gol. Clarko.
In view of tho facts above set forth,
I am of opinion that Col. Alfston has
done all that honor required him to do in
this affair, and I have therefore concluded
to dismiss it, and announce that my con
nection with it is terminated.
July 1, 1875, A. C. Garlinhton.
A dispatch from Atlanta to tho Savan
nah News says : “Tho Clarko party tele
graph that the duol is frnstratod. Col
Alston was prevontod from appearing on
tho ground by the interference of tho
civil authorities. Col. Clarko, aftor wait
ing as long as he could with safety, left
to keep from being arrested. Tho whole
matter is likely to bo ventilated in the
papers. ”
THE HAMILTON VISITOR.
We do not exchange with this paper,
and it has on several occasions manifes
ted its animus towards the Enquirer
by little flings. Wo find the last one of
these noticed by another paper. The
Visitor has found one postoffice iu Har
ris county at which it has a larger circula
tion than the Enquirer, and it boasts of
the discovery. Well, it is a rather hard
hit at us, if the circulation of the Visitor
is no larger now than it was a short time
since. While Major Calhoun was proprie
tor of the Enquirer, • Mr. Boully pro
posed to Bell the Visitor to him. The
Major consulted us about tho proposition,
and we favored the purchase until he
told us that Boully only claimed a circula
tion of seventy copies for tho Visitor.
We couldn’t quite see how an outlay of
$300 was to be regained with such a sub
scription.
We have only to add that any one wish
ing to asoertain the extent of our mail
subscription at Catania, or elsowhere,
will have no difficulty in finding it out
without getting the statement from us,
or taking that of any interested party.
Under the existing Postoffice laws and
regulations, tho Postmaster at Columbus
has pretty accurate information on this
subject, and we remove any injunction of
secrecy that may be supposed to exist as
to our circulation. We invite people hav
ing any curiosity on this Bubject, or any
interest in finding out tho truth about
the matter, to ascertain the amount of
mail subscription on which we pay pos
tage, and then compare it with the pos
tage account of any other paper. That is
the way in which disputes os to mail cir
culation are settled iu New York and
other cities, and we are willing to abide
by the same comparison in Columbus.
REGISTRATION IN KUSSEEE.
We published, yesterday, without com
ment, the letter of the Registrar of Rns-
Bell county, Ala., concerning the arrange
ments for registering the voters of that
county. Yesterday we made particular
inquiry in Girard In reference to tho pro
gross of registration there. It was some
time before wo could find a man who
knew anything about it—all telling us
that no books had been opened there. At
last we met a gentleman who told us that
three or four days ago tho registrar for
the boat, being in Girard, was questioned
about tho matter, and he then and there
took down the names of four or five voters
who were present, and that these were
tho first registered, and, so far as he
know, the last.
Wo have no doubt that Mr. Lewis, the
registrar for tho county, has done all that
was required of him. But tho fact is ap
parent, nevertheless, that registration in
Russell has hardly been commenced, if
we may judge from what has so far been
done in tho Girard beat; and wo appro-
head that but little moro has been done
in tho other beats, with the exception,
perhaps, of Seale.
P. S.—The registration lists were regu
larly opened in Girard yesterday, and we
understand that the Registrar will con
tinue tho work there to-morrow. Lot
our friends attend to this business at
once.
The Athens (Tenn.) Post carefully re
views tho wheat market, and prints pri
vate advices from Atlanta, Baltimore and
Adairsville. All of those authorities ad
vise tho farmors of East Tonnes' ee to
sell their wheat early, as higher quota
tions aro exceedingly improbable.
The Montgomery Journal accuses the
Enquirer of stealing from it an article on
“Kissing.” It must have been the Local
who did that. We haven’t stolen an arti
cle of that kind lately.
llrulal Murder in Alabama.
Last Monday, iu Cherokee county, Ala.,
noar tho base of Lookout Mountain, a
murder was committed that chills tfio
blood to read of. Tho facts aro as fol
lows :
Two gontlemen, Messrs. Weidon, wore
passing along tho road, whon they were
fired upon from ambush by two ruen,
named Kennedy. The murderers were
n<*t moro than ten steps from their vie
tims. One of the Messrs. Weldon was
killed instantly, and the other one had his
arm broken. The latter managed to make
his escape, and thus saved his life.
The two men, Kennedys, after killing
Mr. Weldon, wont down into the valley
where an old gentlomau lived. Going to
his house they told him that they had
killed Weldon, and also tolling him to go
and soo if it wero not so, adding, “If wo
haven't killed him, by G-d, wo will go
back and do so now.” Tho old gentleman
found him not only murderod, but that
tho inhuman wretches, not satisfied with
killing him, had beaten his head into a
jelly.
These murderers defy the law and say
they will not bo arrested by the officers.
But the deputy Sheriff', with a posoe, is
now after them, and it is to be hoped will
bring them in either dead or alive.—Rome

Coiambus District Conference.
Butler, Ga., July 3, 1875.
Editor Enquirer-Sun: Our Conference
is progressing very harmoniously under
the presidency of Bishop Pieroe, who
took the reins this morning, the Presiding
Elder having filled said office the first
day. The Bishop appears in good work
ing trim, evidently bearing the Church
on his heart. The Conference has the
honor of having three of tho honored old
patriarchs of Georgia Methodism as visi
tors, viz: Dr. L. Pierce, Rev. Samnel
Anthony and Rev. J. W. Talley, whoso
aggregated years in the ministry arc per
haps 170, or about 57 years average.
Will these throe ever meet again at a ses
sion of the Columbus District Confer
ence? How beautifully has Christianity
been illustrated in the Iivos and labors of
these aged disciples.
The Doctor preached to a crowded house
at 11 A. M.—subjeot, Christian fraternity;
time about 65 minutes. No fatigue or
restlessness was developed in the congre
gation. His whole sermon was but an
out-gushing of love for ail Christian
people. Rev. Samuel Anthony preached
at night. Thors are also presont, ns visi
tors, Rev. 11. B. Lester, tho deservedly
beloved P. E. of former years, Rev. A.
Wright, formerly of St. Paul church, and
others.
The call of the Bishop on all tho charges
was gone through to-dny. To-morrow
wiil be consumed in hearing reports from
various committees, and discussions, and
the election of delegates to the annual
Conference. There was an ordination
service at 11 o’clock and at night.
The reports from the various chargeB
indicate an improvement in the spiritual
condition of the Church, and the crop
prospect is regarded as good security for
the payment of the claims of the Church.
THE GRANGERS.
DOINGS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
Washington, July 3.—The Executive
Committee of the National Grange con-
tinned their session to-day in this city.
Dr. Worrall, representing tho Co-opera
tive Societies of the Highlands, was in
troduced to tho Committee and submitted
for consideration a proposition for fra
ternal co-operation between the Patrons
of Husbandry and tho Co operators of
England. Dr. Morrall has four associates
en route, who are) daily expected, to aid
him in effecting his object. A sub-com
mittee, consisting of Mr. D. T. Chase,
of New Hampshire, and J. T. Jones, of
Arkansas, was appointed to take the
whole subject under consideration and
report at the next meeting of the Com
mittee on Monday next.
The committee also had undor consid
eration the removal of tho headquarters
of the National Grange, but reached no
conclusion. Four cities—Nashville, Lou
isville, Indianapolis and Cincinnati—
offer special inducements. Cincinnati is
especially anxious to secure the head
quarters, and proposed to sond a delega
tion of prominent citizens to Washington
to confer with tho Executive Committee,
but the latter notified them that they
must submit thoir proposition iu writing,
and that ao delegation would be received.
A proposition looking to tho improve
ment of the business interest of the order
was referred to a sub-committee.
The sum of $500 was donated to-day to
tho patrons in Colorado, suffering from
tho ravages of tho grasshoppers.

It scorns from the accounts of the At
lanta papers that Sam Bard is going to
carry his contest for tho postoffice of that
city to the United States Senate. He
claims that General Grant cannot remove
him, and that ho has not resigned—that
his letter to General Grant, asking per
mission to retain the office until tho 1st

time; that ho can “stick” as well as Stan

the assont of tho Senate, which confirmed
his nomination, to remove him. He ad
mits that he is “suspended” by order of

TIic Case of Jmlgc Clarke.
We find the Cuthbert Appeal of
Friday nearly filled with articles on the
“scandal case” to which we have hereto
fore filluded. The matter has become so
notorious now, that wo notice it more
particularly than wo have heretofore
done. Hon. John T. Clarke was charged
with tho soduction of a young white girl
named Wcavor, who was a domestic em
ployed iu his houso. Miss Weaver sued
Judge Clarko for seduction, naming par-
ticnlar nights and places where tho al
leged offence was committed. Able
counsel were employed on both sides.
Judge Clarko proved, by several unim
peachable witnesses, an alibi both for
himself and Miss Weaver on the occa
sions named—he was not in Cuthbert,
and she did not occupy on those nights
tho room namod in his house. Tho corn-
sol for tho plaintiff withdrew thG prose
cution. It appears, however, from the
publications in the Appeal, that all par
ties are not satisfied, and insinuations are
made by the Messenger that the case has
not been finally dropped.
The article which wo republisn on the
trial and execution of John Barneveld,
was written by J. R. Kendrick, Esq., a
rising young lawyer of Atlanta, lie is a
brother of Rev. C. \. Kendrick, pastor of
the Baptist Church of this city. It is
very well written and interesting.
“We can detect the old rebol yell,”
says tho Buffalo Express, “in tho applause
that choers on tho Democratic cause in
Ohio.” “Then why tho dickens don’t you
throw down your gun and take to your
heels, as you always usod to do ?” asks the
Louisville Courier-Journal. ■
The Montgomery Journal of yesterday
mentions a report that the caterpillars
have appeared in tho cotton fields of
Montgomery county, Ala., but expresses
tho hope that tho report is incorreot.
The Connecticut Legislature has char
tered another insurance company, with a
novel but perhaps useful feature—to wit :
to insure losses against wind as well os I property to rel igious organizations, in

Rev. 0. W. Howard.—The Chattanoo
ga Times, of Wednesday, speaks of a call
from Mr. C. W. Howard, a distinguished
writer upon the agricultural and mineral
resources of his native State of Georgia.
Mr. Howard informs us that ho has sold
his property noar Kingston, and has pur
chased 3,000 acres on Lookout Mountain,
near Rising Fawn, where he iutonds to
go extensively into sheep raising, in ad
dition to tho cultivation of fruits and
vegetables. lie has ton acres in Irish
potatoes at present, from which ho ex-
peots to raise 1,000 bushels, with no
other manure than wood ashes. Mr.
Howard is also interested in a coal mine,
on top of the mountain, in the upper
carboniferous formation, from which he
hopes some day to supply Chattanooga,
by means of a narrow-gauge railroad
along the summit of the mountain, on
lovol to the point, and thence by nn in
cline to Chattanooga. We should be
glad to see the whole summit of the
mountain occupied by such experienced
and successful farmers as Mr. Howard,
for Chattanooga is the natural market of
their productions.

pronouuced tho benediction, and tho
audience dispersed. Mr. Beoohor’s ad
dress was oon fined wholly to church mat
