Our city fatliera-Jiave determined,
as per ordinaee published this clay, to
impose a Tax on all Dogs kept within
the corporate limits; and, in view of
the advent of warm weather and fears
of hydrophobia, to subject all whose
dogs are running at large to line or loss
of the animal.

Hon. Ben. C. Yancey was in town on
Monday 7 last. lie furnished us with
the gratifying intelligence that Rev.
C. W. Howard would continue to write
for the Plantation , and that the Com
pany had secured the valuable services
of the eminent agriculturalist, Dr. Dan
iel Lee, in behalf of that sterling jour
nal.
The Cemetery Grounds. —A few
months ago, a subscription list was got
ten up to obtain funds accessary to en
close the Cemetery grounds. What
has become of it, and why has it been
delayed? A proper and decent regard
for the memory of departed ones, sug
gests the propriety of this work being
promptly done.

Trion Factory. —One of the'most
signally successful industries in North
Georgia, is the above named; a cotton
mill turning out cloths and yarns of
high grade. It is located on the Chat
tooga river, in Chattooga county, some
12 miles South of LaFayette, and is
the property of Messrs. Marsh & All

a full description of it in our next issue.

Guard Against Lightning.— Messrs.
Dewall & Simpson, the former from
Floyd, and the latter from Walker, both
well known to many of our citizens,
arc now in Catoosa county for the pur
pose of putting up the best approved
kind of Lightning Rods. All know, or
ought to kno'it’, the necessity of being
thus protected, and Messrs. D. <fc S.
propose to supply material and do the
work on most favorable terms.
The First of the Craft to visit us
was Colonel Acton, the Constitution's
“ light weight.” He dropped in on
Tuesday of this week, went through
the establishment, kindly gave us words
of good cheer, told a side-splitter about
how he put the beer on an East Ten
nesseean, then hurried off to take train
for home, so as to don his Greeley tile,
having determined to run with the
winning horse one time more.

The Wayside Hotel. For taking
(as the immortal William made fat
Jack Falstaff say) “mine ease in mine
Inn,” commend me to the “ Wayside.”
Major HeaJon is very Epicurian in liis
tastes, as his table evidences, and the
administration of his estimable lady
renders their house one of the most
comfortable, cosy rests for travelers
that we know oL The rooms are well
appointed and everything scrupulously
neat and clean.
Catoosa SriuNGS.-The improvements
being made at Catoosa Springs are pro
gressing most satisfactorily. Mr. J. R
Ryan, of Chattanooga has a large and
effective force engaged in pnshfag the
carpenters work to completion, and we
have no doubt but that all the build
ings will have been completed by June
Ist. Mr. Baldwin lias undertaken the
brick work; Mr. Jordan, the plaster
ing; Mr. Hooker, the painting, and Mr.
Duncan, the grading. Mr. Rabbe has
been engaged for some dais past in
taking measurements preparatory to
laying the gas pipes. All seem to vie
with each other in their efforts to com
plete their respective contracts, so as
to enable Colonel Hewitt get the
furniture and general appointments in
readiness for guests at an early day. ,
Direct-Postal- Route to LaFayfttiv.
We but echo an universally expressed
desire of the people of Catoosa and
Walker counties, “as far as heard from,’’
in urging the postmasters at LaFayette
and Ringgold tty send £ to the
Postmaster-General for a direct hi or
tri-weekly post between those towns.
Do Messrs. Rogers and Evans act
promptly in the matter, get up a pew
tion ifr.such be necessary, and every
body will sign it.
Rouekt N. Dickerson, Esq., Clerk of
the Superior Court of Walker equity,
called yesterday and gratified us with
a favorable report from LaFayette, as
to the reception our paper met with on
the part of his fellow citizens. Mr. D.
has accepted the Agency of The Cou
rier, at LaFayette, to whom we refer
the citizens of Walker and Chattooga
counties. .
Mr. Dickerson* brings cheering re
port upon the general crop prospect of
Walker and Chattooga—wheat never
looked better.
O. F. Jounstgn, Esq., as will appear
by his card, published Jn this day’s
issue, has established a general com
mission and 'real estate agency busi
ness at RiTiggokl. Partdfes abroad wish

in this market, could pot entrust them
to a more reliable, upright business
man; and .those in Georgia having
lands for sale, will find "him a most
active, efficient agent-r-his well-tieseyv

acquaintance. We tender him a cor
dial welcome,
Our County Roads. —We believe no
matter of local importance calls more
loudly for prompt attention tluin our
county roads. It is peculiarly the fuse,
as applies to the road leading to Catoosa
Springs—over which a vast amount of
travel will be done during the summer
months; or at least there will be, pro
vided it is kept iu good order. Mer
chants and farmers are alike interest
ed, and here is what an Exchange says
good roads do:
“ Good roads benefit everyone resid
ing along their course. Good roads
save horse flesh, they facilitate the
transportation of the produce to mar
ket, they save your tenqHir, they in
crease the value of lands, they lend
attractiveness to the eye of a stranger,
they increase the traffic and business
of a town by its vitality in all branches
of traffic. .Show us a town which re
ceives a large country trade by means
of the Hue roads leading to it, and we
will show you a place that is lively,
progressive and thrifty, with
circulating in pfidrty, 'nmT'meirin air
brandies of industry as busy as hea
vers.”
The Business of St. Louis in 1871.
The following may be of interest as au
indication of the probable future of the
city: The capital invested in manu
factures amounted to $15,798,808, an
insreasc pf nearly $3,000,000 during the
year. The wages amounted to $lO,-
421,929, and the products to $9,389,940,
both exhiliitihg a large increase over
the preceding year. The manufactures
are chiefly of iron, such as foundries,
railroad iron and bars, and agricul
tural implements. A total of 1,528
buildings were added to tiie city last
year, at an expense of $5,687,710. The
buildings are chiefly for business pur-.,
poses, and show a marked improvement'
in material and finish; 84,883 tons of
pig iron were manufactured during the'
year, au increase of 13,000 tons.
Salaries of French Generals. —lt
may interest your readers to know how
tiie higher grades in the French army
are paid; the figures are often spoken
of as enormous, and are as follows,
taken from the budget: Marshal Mc-
Mahon, Commander-in-chief of the
army of Versailles, recived 70,000 francs
a year ($14,000); each of the marshals
not holding a command, 30,000 francs,
($6,000); General Ladmirault, Gov
ernor of Paris, 50,000 francs, ($10,000);
Geowals Montnuban, Bartaille, CEn
chant, Dußarail and Douai, heads of
corps ilcannee, 35,000 francs each.
($7,000); Gen. Bourbaki, Commander
of the Army, of Lyons, 34,200 francs,
and each of the generals of divisions,
who are members of a committee, 20,-
700 ($4,140). — Correspondent Boston

Strong Emotion. Strong emotion
expresses itself in the body as well as
the face, and in every master-piece the
whole human form is made to speak,
the hand and feet arc eloquent. Man
hood and womanhood iu hours of exul
tation will flow to the outskirts of their
kingdom, and imbue every attitude and
gesture with significance and power.
Have you not sometimes, in listening
to sweet sounds, had such conceptions
of love, and truth, and joy, as no earth
ly experience ever brought you, and
such suggestions of'thc boundlessness
of your being as almost overpowered
your weak, bodily life? Do not regard
them as momentary fanciful effects.
No faintest idea of power, or beauty,
or affection beyond that of earth, ever
crosses the mind, but it has its reality
in the life beyond. So take courage,
heart! This is one of God’s ways of
teaching thee, and these things shall
bogiu to be verities when thou si 1 alt
“ sec Him as Ho is.”

Not “book-learning” is

to be remembered in the teaching®
children arc clearness, simplicity, and
truth. Great and soJemu truths m'aY

follow. Studying from the wide-leaved

Wiiat a One-Armed Man Can Do.—
A correspondent ofthc Fredericksburg,
(Virginia,) Star, Writes from Prince
William county: “One of my neigh
bors, Mr. George Williams, is a young
Confederate soldier, who lost an arm,
near the shoulder, and yet can do more
work than a majority of young men
with two hands. J have seen him, with
the assistance of a smaU boy, load a
wagon that four oxen could with difli
culty draw. He cuts hoop-poles with
.one hand, and with the assistance of
Uhrteeth tics them into bundles as rap
id*' and as well as others with both
hands. He plows his land liimself, and
drives a two-horse wood-wagon, loading
and unloading it himself. He is an
honest, brave and good citizen.”
-C_—L„
It’’Sr * J act Mutating the
necessity of cleanliness, and of keeping
the pores of the skin open, that if a
coat of varnish or other substance im
pervious to moisture bo applied to the
exterior of tiie body, death will ensue
in about six hours. Tiie experiment
was once tried on a cliild at Florence.
Oh tiie occasion of Pope LCo Tenth’s
accession to the papal chair, it was de
sired to have a living figure to repre
sent the Golden Age, and so a child
was gilded all over with varnish and
gold The child died in a few
hours. If the fur of a rabbit or the
skirt of a pig bo covered with a solu
tion of India rubber in naphtha, the
animal ceases to breathe in a couple of
hours.
Seldom do we meet the truth more
beautifully expressed than this, from
the New York FT a 1 ion: jßeflned homes
arc the end of civilization. All the
work of the world the railroading,
navigating, digging, delving, manufac
turing, inventing, teaching, writing,
fighting, are done, first of all, to secure
each family in the quiet possession of
its own hearth; and, secondly, to sur
round as many hearths as possible wdth
grace and culture and beauty. The
work of all races for five thousand
years is represented in the difference
between a wigwam and a lady’s parlor, j
It has no better result to show.”
Consider the cause of the good stand
ing of some, and decline and want of
success of others, and regulate your
conduct accordingly.
Anger your friend, and you will be
surprised to find what a rilfian you arc,
even in his estimation. ft

'About two nerds in 'extent, within the
limits of which I Slav.) counted 110 loss
than fifty-two distinct-, bold, and well

these springs possessing entirely different

the red sulphur itro-<tf' the most beautiful

other springs are eqjtwy distinctive. On
the north, side of tfifluvelley, there is a
large, bold, blue limestone spring, and
