toned the fact week or two since, says the Knox
vile Register that a very superior article of n.y.
draulic lime had been discovered upon Judge
Reese's lands in our immediate vicinity. Farther
ex aminatIons have disclosed a vein of it running
west and northwest of the town, and but little
more than mile distant from the courthouse,
which will enable Knoxville to supply the demand
of the south for this article for century to come.
Preparations are on foot to prepare the article in
large quantities for market. About one thousand
barrels of it will be used in the construction of the
railroad bridge at Loudon.

THE BREEZE OF SPRING.

THE BREEZE OF SPRING.
Dull winter hastens to be gone,
He's disappearing fast
The stormy time is past.
The ice no longer binds the rill,
Nor SHOWS their mantle fling,
For every bleak and barren hill
Has kissed the breeze of spring.
hear its music in the wood;
1t sighs along the vale,
Where summer flowers in beauty stood,
1t fingers in the dale;
1t plays upon the primrose banks,
And rests its merry wing;
The dropping snow-drop kindly thanks
The western breeze of spring.
All well it knows where vlolets grow
In the lone and shady lane
1t bids its sweet, blue writes blow,
And onward speeds again.
1t wakes the flowers of the field,
And they their offerings bring;
The flowers their sweetest incense yield,
To scent the breeze of spring.
The blackbird, from the hawthorn bush,
Renews his lively strain;
VII lOptlldSL UFdLCueS SIdUuS luc tQFuSU,
And tunes his throat amain;
At close of evening calm and mild,
He makes the forest ring
With native woodnotes clear and wild
He loves the breeze of spring.
The robin leaves his winter friends
For hedge-rows far away
Above his messy nest he bends,
And pipes his plaintive lay.
The lark uprising with the light,
On merry mountain wing
Strains all his might till out Of sight,
And halls the breeze Of spring.
A hundred voices fill the air,
The sun shines warmly down;
Away with each intruding care,
And leave the gloomy town.
Come, roam along the woodpath green,
Hear nature s favorites sing.
Enjoy the soul-enlivening scene,
And WOO the breeze of spring.
