now seeking pretext for their return to the

commissions, or to retire OH half pay, because
they cannot live in rags, upon half rations,

all those ntolerNble hardships might have
been obviated by more capacity in the Com

TO REvESUE CoLLEcroGs.- large portion
of the revenue for 1884, is vet unsolicited.
and as the school fund will be distributed
soon after the return Of the Comptroller from
Jackson,it is important that the revenue col
etors of West Tennessee should meet the
agent of the Treasurer in jackson, during the
first fifteen days of April, and pay in the
amount dne from their respective counties.
This will apply as well to counties in the
Middle aud Eastern divisions, This is the
first distribution of school funds under the
act of tue last, Legislature, aud it is hoped
revenue collectors will he prompt and pay

HolOpay's Ointment and Pills have
effected another wonderful Cure Of Sore
Legs.--Anthony Harrison Scard of Mar
tinsburg, Virginia, was a sufferer for
twenty-eight years from sore legs, so bad
at times, that human nature could
scarcely bear it, as they were covered
with wounds and proud flesh. His
friends had given up all hopes of his ever
regaining the use of his limbs, as he was
in so pitable state, the more especially
as the doctors tcld him it was constitu-
tional. Having heard from several
people the good effects Holloway,s Pills
had produced in cases of this nature, he
made up his mind to give them a trial /;
after using them for a few weeks, he
felt much better, and by continuing
them for two months and half, he was
perfectly cured, after being 20 years a
cripple, and cosidered beyond human aid.

the following account Of a singularly ro-
mantle episode in life, which occurred
recently About six years since, la
dy named Mrs. Martha Wood, accom-
panied by her son, his wife, and cou-
pie of children, arrived in this city from
New Bedford, Mass. She stated that
she was widow of some twenty -four
years standing, her husband having boen
mate of whaler, which had been lost
at sea. The family have resided for a
greater portion of the time on Liberty
street, Mr.. Wood, the son, working at
his trade, which is that of cooper.
Yesterday merning grey headed
and toiworn man called at the residence
of the family, and, seeing Mr.. Wood,
inquired after the widow, who, being
called into the room, while gazing IN
tcntly at the stranger, whose eyes were
fixed mournfully upon her, requested to
know his business.

To Aida Your very polite and

Of the undersigned, in the Echo, of last
week, was duly appreciated. The
characteristics therein named, l humbly
profess to possess, therefore you may
dethrono at once all doubts and fears
appertaining to such golden advau tages.
During many of my late Episodes l
contemplated this plan Of advertising
for a wife, expecting frank reciprocal
tion from one or more of your devoted
sex, through the respectable columns of
this sheet. You, Mile, have honorcd
me with reply. TO you am per-
feet stranger,-to me you are likewise,
the same. Thus far then, the chances
are even. Youth and beauty I adore,
but an intelligent mind and a penetrat-
ing brain, l consider requisite when
choosing a partner for life. AS it re-
spocts the declarations of the undersign-
ed they are Of sincere nature, and as
" Aida" is doubtless a monde plume
it will be somewhat difficult to arrive at
any definite conclusion r.the present,

so requisite to be known. Meantime
