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. Catoosa Springs—The great resort for Health and Pleasure, open June Ist, 1872. 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. Catoosa Springs—The great resort for Health and Pleasure, open June Ist, 1872.

Pie uie parties and those going out to the Springs eau always rely upon being 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 good. We hope to be able to publish a full description of it in our next issue. Catoosa Springs—The great resort for Health and Pleasure, open June Ist, 1872. 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.

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 ing their manufactures or wares offered 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 M co extensive With his 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.

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.

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.
