Messrs. Editors: The 'Fakir of silva came
and went, bearing with him the same black re-
nown which follows the name of the swinding
rascal whithersoever he goes. did not attend
his performances, but the universal complaint
against him tells sad tale as to the merit ofhis
labors to amuse. Poor fellow he walked up
the wrong passenger here, and left with black
eye.
But it is q glorious relief amidst the innumer-
able travelling humbugs which food the coun-
try, and disgust and abuse the public taste, to
find something in the way of amusements that
is refined, elevated, genuine, and ennobling-
The performances of Nj. and Mrs. w. H. Crisp,
an their company are Of this character, and by
far the most superior Theatricals l have ever
seen in East Tennessee. They commenced in
Concert Hall, in our city, last Friday evening,
and every ht,except Sabbath since has found
a crowded house deeply interested in the fine
dramatic skill and powers Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Crisp. Tears and laughter alternate with each
other, all the while. Mr.. Crisp is an elegant
scholar and a gentleman, and more anna
bic lady lives than his wife. The citizens OF
Huntsville, Ala, presented them with house
and lot worth several thousand dollars, and they
intend in the future, to spend their summers
there, and will, if the proper encouragement is
given, visit occasionly the principal points in
East Tennessee. They will remain here du
ring the rest of the week, and on Friday night
a benefit is to be given Mr.. and Mrs. Crisp
They will then probably go to Knoxville; dc
not know whether they intend calling on you OIL
not.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

The pestilence that walketh in darkness and
the destruction that wasteth at MONDAY, has
claimed as his victim Member Of the Eroma-
thesean Society. We are bereaved of a much
respected Brother. JOHN DtNTOY is no more!s
A few years since he came among us and en-
beloved Association, to the prosperity of which
he was sincerely devoted. He was an assidu-
Gus student, a faithful and Social friend, and at
all times, and under all circumstances, he acted
out those noble principles which characterized
him as gentleman. After leaving this place
he became a student at law, and having COM
pleted the usual course, ne repaired TO Texas to
engage in his profession. But alas Just as he
was entering the path of usefulness to his coun-
try, and honor TO himself, he was hurried of
the stage Of existence by the Unsuitable scourge
of the West-the cholera.
Although we mourn the loss of our deceased
friend and brother yet we bow in meek submits
sion to this affective dispensation of the Provi-
dence of the Advise Father: therefore,
ResOyced, That we sincerely sympathize with
the parents, relatives and friends of the deceas-
ed, in the loss which they, in common with us,
have sustained.
Res iced, That the members Of the Eroma-
thesean Society wear the usual badge of mourn
ing thirty days.
Resolred, That the Secretary furnish copy
of these proceedings to the parents of the de-
ceased; and also one to the Loudon Free Press
for publication. R. X. CLAIBORNE, !

Old Council Ground sad memory brings
Thee back to me againl
/ see thee now as once Of yore,
+. The Savage Chieftain's plain;
When upwards from tie wig-@am curled
The smoke at summer cen,
And the red mans children sported wild
Oh the turf SO soft and green.
When the Council fire brightly burned
4 As the pipe of peace went round;
Or, the war-whoop rang DER hill and dale,
With a fierce and Tfiendish sound;
When the corn dance sounded merrily,
With wild and frantic Joy,
And the youth told low his tale of love
To the dark eyed maid so coy.
When the turkey called for his straying mate
Unhurt by the rifles aim;
And the whip-poor-will, unawed by fear,
Called out his we'll known naihe Iped,
When droves ofdeer from their coverts skip
And the "pale face saw them not,
And the night-owl raised her doleful voice
To boot DER her cherries lot
But low is bowed the chieftain's head,
His heart Is breaking now;
The white mans ringing axe is heard,
The forests pride must bow
BE leaves the home that his fathers loved,
Where their buried ashes lie,
To distant land, home unknown,
The warrior chief must HE.
Poor exiled race how sad thy lot,
From each loved object torn,
To form new ties far, far from this,
Ger distant hills to roam;
To leave thy sires while on their breasts
The pale face tills the corn;
Or, DER their heads in needless haste
The laundering train is borne.
The Red man sleeps in the strangers land,
And his lonely dirge is sung
BY the hemlock dark, and mournful pine
As oft to the breeze they're swung.
Hcheeds notthe sound ofthe white man'sp low
As Ger him the earth is thrown;
His brave. heart is still-in the Spirit land
He has found a lasting home.

An intelligent farmer in WaitGeld, Vt, has
discovered an effectual method of removing the
coloring matter from maple sap, so it will make
sugar nearly as white as common crushed SUI
gal. His method is to fltrate all his sap be-
fore boiling, through hopper, or box Of sand,
which he says takes out. not only all the dirt,
but all the stains derived froni leaves, tubs,
crumbs of bark, and all other coloring matter
that can prevent the sugar from being pure
and white. l'.
