How They Like 1t!

While our exchanges have been SC
kind in noticing the Improvement in
the Home Journal, let us read what a
few of our subscribers say: One
writing from East Tennessee says:
MI. Slater :--Although a stranger
to you, yet, must say, sir, that You
print one Of the best papers in the
State; | love to read it."
A young lady in West Tennessee
writing to US, says:
"You cant imagine how eagerly ]
grasp the Home Journal, and read it,
every thing in it,"
A gentleman writes to US from the
Times Office, Dalton, Georgia, and
says:
"The Home Journal has been my
paper cvcr!sincc it found its way to
our sanctum, and ! never let a week
slip without reading every line OF it
advertisements and aIl-and don't
think ! natter you when | say | don't
do any other paper So
An old man writes from Mississippi
thus:
"Fricnd Slater IL am much pleas
ed with your paper. send you six
dollars which will pay for three years
subscription in advance, and when my
time il out vii remit six more. !
like the Journal mostly because the
print is so clear and easy to rcad-in
fact, it is the best printed paper know
Of"
We might go on with similar cX,
tracts from letters, bat these are
enough. Every day subscribers are
coming in and complimcnting the
ncatneSs Of tn c print. And we are
determined to always keep the Jour
nal thus. We ask but one thing and
that is that our subscription list may
continue TO grow.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT. The Hartford
Press, in descibing a game OF wicket,
gives the following remarkable incident:
"Mr. Jabez Alvord had a strap buckled
tightly around his right arm above the
elbow TO prevent his ann from becoming
famed when throwing in the ball. Soon
n large throw became necessary, but ms
the effort was made a crack short on dis.
Ilnct as that Of a pistol was heard across
the playground, and the young mans
arm fell powerless at his side, the ball
describing a short curve beyond. On an
immediate examination Of the arm by
Doctors Phelps and Steele, who were up.
on the ground, it was found that tho bone
was broken short off just above the point
where the strap was placed.

The Election.

Before going 10 press we have suGi,
Gent returns to indicate a general defeat
in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana.
But il is not TO be attributed, we think,
in part, as a contemporary suggests, to the
clamor for a high tariff. A revenue tar.
if is all the constitution permits. and
that must afford sufficient protection.
Other protection than that allows, will
not be sanctioned by the party which
uphoIds the Constitution. Before mo.
%nopolies can be granted for the benefit
of the rich capitalists, the Government
must be overthrown. The Democracy
has a black eye, Jut its blood is up, and
the next round it will be the victor.-

A FINE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE
A GOOD TRADE.

propose to sell my land, consisting of
$50 acres, lying at Cowan, in Franklin Co.,
Tenn, or the Nashville and Chattanooga R.
r. Abont $50 acres are in cultivation, the
rest .incly tlmbered, and all of it as good as
any land in the county. Situated on this
tract is my private residence-a neat and
comfortable ~dwelling-with all necessary out
houses. Any one desiring u delightful home
would do well to pure lase this spot. The
beautiful views of The mountain and the site
octhc University of the South, are highly at.
%tractivc ont afford a happy relief to the eye.
There are four excellent springs on the land,
and in view of the fact that the University of
the Sonth-the greatest contemplated insti-
tuition of learning now known-has been To-
Gated at Sewanee, only four miles distant,
it is evident that in a few years the landI
propose to sell will be
Immensely increased in value.
No man who has capital to invest should neg.
lect this chance 10 make n good bargain-no
man with keen foresight will. Lying as this
land does, on the N. & C. Railroad, a ready
transportation is offered for all that may be
raised on it, and in a few years it could all be
sold IN lots Tor private residences, nj prices
sufficient to enlist the consideration of every
money.sceker,
ALSO
| propose to sell the "University House,
A number one HOTEL
lately fitted up and elegantly furnished from
kitchen TO plrlor. 1t is situa ed at Cowan,
four miles from Scwanee, and from the plaz'
20 the cars can be seen after leaving Cowan
until they reach the site of the University
To see them thus being drawn, by the smok-
ing 'iron horse" along the ir winding path
way up the mountain side, is truly interest
ing. Within 20 feet of the door OF the no..
tel is a good wei, of salubrious water.
These propositions may not be open long.
and while | am in the notion 10 sell those VINO

The Trial of Rev, J. R. Graves.

Last week we promised to publish
the proceedings of the a0dy before
which Mr.. Graves was summoned
for trial, but those proceedings are 80
unsatisfactory that no idea can be
gained from them as to ,Dhat they are
trying him for. A correspondent OF
the Nashville Daily Ncws writes as
follows about this affair, which at
present causes a good deal Of excite
mcnt.
at is due this public to know that what
is called the trial Of the Rev. J. X.
Graves, that's going forward nightly in
the 1st Baptist Church, is but a farce,
in which the parties acting are rendering
themselves ridiculous and discovering TO
the public the unworthy design they have
in view, l.. e. to dishonor Elder Ii. and
crush his influence in this city.
Elder Graves, having demanded a fair
trial according to the only standard oTthe
Church, and it being refused, did with a
large and respectable minority embracing
three Of the oldest Deacons and two Min
~isters, bodsides himself, Withdraw and
claim for themselves, the power and au'
thorily Of the regular Baptist Church,
beingin order. The Church Of which
Elder Graves is a member have already
at his earnest request called a large coun'
Gil of the most eminent jurists in the de.
nomination in the association, with the
opinions of the abIest men in the union
to assist it to investigate every charge
that envy and malice may prefer against
him, and found guilty he will be prompt.
Iy condemned; if innocent, openly ~ustji'
cd.
Before that body, Elder Graves will
appeal to answer for himself, and he will
then discover to this community, the deep
ma!ignity with which he has been pursu.
ed by a party in the body now nightly en-.
gagged in his defamation before this pub.
tic, under the came Of a Church trial.
The public is requested to suspend
Judgment and receive, if they see fit to
hear, the assertions made by the prose.
