rN" There is no cholera nor any thing
like it in MurGrcesborough or its vicinity al
the present time. There have been three or
four cases resembling cholera in town but all
yielded readily to medical treatment except
one. That was an old negro, seventy five
years of age who had been suffering from
cancer for fifteen or twenty years and who
died more probably from the ravages of the
latter disease than cholera. Our town was
never more healthy, as we understand, and
belive, than at the present time Telegraph.

Friend Jordan, be cautious in future-youT find
That boasting's a dangerous thing
You said you could beat "a the world and the OF

But you only beat four out Of ten.
frankly confess that your counting is good,
But your playing is quite the reverse
Your partner silent-n establishment stood
And prayed that the crowd would dispense.
Ha ha! my young friends, now do not regret
"A sadness" Of "parting and pain"
pat when this meets your eye pray do not pass by,
But stop and think of "tha. game"

A HEAVY APPROPRIATIoN.-The WASH

House to pay for the books ordered to be
distributed among the present members of
that body was $l9,950 ST. The amount re-
quisite to pay for the books to go to the
eighteen new members Of the new Senate
will swell that sum to an aggregate of S22l,-

to stop their personal rations by mere mp
preparation for books! They should at least
vote themselves half million of dollars

ACARD.-MONTVALE SPRINGS

A CARD-MONTVALE SPRINGS.
The undersigned, Proprietor of Montvale,
adopts this method to inform the seekers
after health and pleasure, that he has
made ample preparations for the entertain
ment and accommodation of all who may
desire to visit and sojourn for awhile at these
Springs, whether to partake of their health
giving waters or TO spend the warmer
months in the cool and salubrious atmos-
phere by which they are surrounded. He
deems it unnecessary to say any thing of the
medicinal virtues of the waters of Montvale
they have Justly acquired celebrity be-
yond anything he could hope to utter in this
brief Circular. Since the close of last sea-
son, additional rooms and buildings have
been put up, plenty of good servants obtain
ed, and every possible preparation made to
furnish good accommodations to all who may
feel inclined to visit the Springs. The ada
cent country is mountainous, the atmosphere
pure and healthy, the location free from any
predisposng cause to disease, and mineral
waters of several varieties are abundant.
In regard to the reports that fatal sick
ness prevails in some portions of East Ten
nessee, and which have, in some cases, been
put in circulation for selfish purposes, he has
to say that if there has been any prevailing
disease it has disappeared entirely, and that
Montvale and the surrounding country was
never more healthy and freer from maladies
of every character.
Persons at the South wishing to visit
the Springs can leave the East Tennessee
and Georgia Railroad either at ATHENS or
PHILADELPHIA, from both which points there
is daily line of coaches to Montvale. There
is, also, daily line from Loudon to Knox
vile, the Emporium of East Tennessee
from whence there is n daily line TO Maryvile
and Montvale. So that there can be no diff
ficuIty in reaching the desired point Ind-
viduas and families desiring to visit these
Springs need not be deferred by discourag-
inc reports about sickness and the difficulty
of getting to Montvale, for they may rest
assured that what is said above is strictly
true, and that the constant effort of the pro-
pretor will be to see that all are well accom-
modated. ASA WATSON.
