A frequently used crossing near the depot is almpst constantly closed with | freight cars. It’s probably too much I trouble for an incorporation to see that be ears are uncoupled and a passage I " ay left: for teams and pedestrians. I be trial of some colored parties took place on Sunday. The assault case, we understand, was compromised. This trial and compromising of cases on the Sabbath is a matter that might stand som£ wholesome judicial investigation.

The finishing touches are being put upon the bridges along the line of the Alabama Great Southern, and that over Lookout Creek is receiving due attention. The main wood-work of the bridges along the entire line will be weather boarded and then covered with tin, after which the entire structures will be painted a pure white. This will give a most pleasant appearance to the eye of the traveler, and cannot but add to the popularity and profit of the road. We understand that the depots arc also to he painted some timo during the fall. The bridge-painting is under the super intendence of Mr. Joseph Gsell, an en ergetic and thoroughly competent work man, who at present has his headquar ters at this place. It is leported that on Wednesday last Hanna Springs, including forty-five acres of land, embracing the spring property, was sold to Messrs. Morrison, passenger agent of the Alabama Great Southern Railway, Lawrence, agent of the Vicksburg and Meridian road, and Jones, a hotel man from Jackson, Miss. The price paid was .SIO,OOO. The Ala bama Great Southern will build a branch to the springs, ample hotel ac commodations will be prepared, and it it is expected to fill the place every year with visitors from Vicksburg. Especial attention is directed to the advertisement of 8. Rosenbaum, Chat tanooga’s wide awake merchant. Pur chasers from this neighborhood, when visiting the city, cannot be too careful itt the selection of their houses before buying. All that Mr. Rosenbaum asks is a visit and an examination of his goods and prices, to convince the most skeptical of the truth of the assertions he makes in his advertisement. When in the city for the purpose of Lading, by all means favor li'iu with the first call. The card of the Eblen House, Chat tanooga, will be found in another col umn. It is an old established and most favorably kflown hotel, where good ac commodations are furnished at reasona ble rates. W bile sufficiently conven ient to the depot for all practical pur poses, it is yet far enough from it to avoid the racket, dust and impurities of such city localities. \ isitors from this section can find no better place in Chat tanooga for their headquarters than the Eblen House. Last Thursday the Gazete office was the recipient of calls from a perfect bevy of females, representing vividly and truthfully almost every type of American beauty, from the bewitching brunette (probably the most perfect .spe cimen of Southern beauty) to the blue eved blonde; the motherly matron, the middle-aged, and the lisping infant, all combining co form a first-class group for a first-class artist. Our Wildwood correspondent, “ Bill Flips,” writes a good tetter, and is re quested to favor us with communica tions each week. We are sure the readers of the Gazette in his neighbor hood Will appreciate them, They should be mailed in time to reach this office on Tuesday. We will endeavor to be more punctual with you in future, Wil liam. Statistical. —In 1878 the total taxa ble property of Dade county was $709,- BiJl ; number of polls, 549.

Editor Gazette :—Around our quiet village the sun is throwing its biilliant rays of hope to-day. Yet it is now— yes, almost now !—when autumn shall unpaint those beautiful flowers that pa raded their fragrant blossoms but yes terday. They are like young noblemen, to-day their cheeks are painted with health, to-morrow punctured with death. How beautiful in summer to take a ram ble through the mountain gorges, look ing on and ever remembering that God, with his omnipotent hand, created all those beautiful little herbs that show their tender taccs to mankind ! Then it makes one’s heart sad to think of giving up the earliest impressions of our child hood days. W. M. D. Our ambitious but youthful disciple of Faust (W. S. L.) was in sore trou ble on Friday last. He wrote and re wrote an an invitation to his perfection, but to muster up the courage to send it he couldn’t. By the time he has grown accustomed to nursing babies and hunt ing paragoric in the dark, he can look back to his youthful days and wonder why it was. M. O. Bunn, representing the Chatta nooga Commercial, was in town this week and gave us a pleasant call. Mr. Bunn is a clever, genial gentleman, and to those wishing a Chattanooga paper we would say, take the Commercial. Oar Wildwood LrUrr. Wildwood, Sept. 9, 1879. Editor Oazetkc : —News items in this locality are scarce. Quarterly meeting is over, and chickens have be come tuorb gentle. Mr. (’ravens’ family have returned from the mountain, where they have been spending the summer. Our public school is progressing finely. A friend of ours has shown us a note, found near Morgan ville, written by s jnie pd >r Cupid-smitten creature who probably has palpitation of the heart. Won’t some kind philanthropist give “John” a word of comfort? We “ know ho\V It is ourselves.” He says to his very dedr friend that “ he leaves this question td her consideration —that he knows they \VoUld live happy—that out in the cold xVorld, billow-tossed, etc., he never could rest contented unti he laid this important qitbstion before her ” Now, Mr. Editor, We want to know how to go at it td induce the Georgia Legislature to investigate this matter. A protracted meeting is now goitig On at Morganville. We understand that the Baptists will commence one here on next Saturday. Charles C. Andcrsofi is expected home this week from Forsyth, where he has been spending a week with his parents, (or some one else, don’t exactly know which.)
