Fire at Shanonda!e Springs.

Ws regret to record the destruction Of
The large and colEmocious Hotel Buildings
at Shanondale Springs which occurred on
Saturday morning last. The fire origna-
ted from burning chimney, and so rapid
was lis progress, that all efforts 10 stay
lis course were unavalling. The entire
buildings, the spot consecrated in the
hearts Of many of our citizens, by The re-
membrance OF JOYOUS hours and the rec
objection ollriendships formed-the haunts
"where 'erst The song and shout resound-
Ell" all now lie mass of smouldering
ruins. The loss to the company by the
fire, may be estimated al from four TO five
thousand dollars, yet the depreciation of
the property by the accident would place
II at higher figure. We sincerely hope.
that the Springs and lands attached, in all
about one hundred and nine,y.six acres,
may fall into the hand of capitalists, who
will erect spacious accommodations, and
the gayely Of former years be again in
augurated. nr. Moorman in his work

EleCtiOneering.

scene is described as having occurred in a
canvass in Tennessee, between the Hon.
Cave Johnson and Maj. Gustavus A.
Henry. As the story runs, Major H., III
reply to the allusion Of his opponent as
TO his manner Of shaking hands, said -
IL will tell you little anecdote illus
tralive of the peculiar electloneering ablI'
tiles OF my honorable friend in his inter-
course with our intelligent constituents.
We were canvassing in remote part OF
the district. and having an appointment 10
speak near the house of d very influential
Squire, we spent the previous night at his
house together. Ii was well known that
the Squire controlled all the votes in thai
precinct. and tina, his better half control
led him, so that it was ali important to
get on the right side of her. We had
agreed not to electioneer with the Squire
while we s,sd with him; but | did not
think this forbade me to do my best with
the family. So rose about day break the
next morning. and thinking that should
make friends with the mistress OF the
house by bringing water TO cook the
breakfast, took bucket and started of
for the spring. l was tripping off on "a
ligh, fantastic toe singing merrily as ]
wen. along, when what on earth should ]
see. as | looked into the barnyard; but the
old woman milking the COW, while my
honorable friend, with his face ruddy with
morning exercise, and his locks streaming
in the breeze, was holding the cow by
the tail! saw in an instant he had the
start of me. | returned to the house dis
com6ned, and abandoned all hope of a
vote in that region"
