NARROW EscApE.-Y estcrday morning y
son Of john Rooney, while passing through
the cellar of lngersoll & Sons Eating Saloon,
fell into a reservoir containing six feet OF
water, the trap door of which had been care
lessly left open by some person who had been
at work upon it. The cries Of the little fellow
alarmed Mr., Poor, Of the firm Of Crosman
4 Poor, who happened TO be in the cellar of
his store. He Immediately gave the alarm to
the hands in Ingersoll's establishment, and
they fastened to the rescue of the lad. The
opening to the reservoir was SO narrow that 1t
was with difficulty the lad could be discovered.
Fortunately Miss Nellie Hayes, employed in
the Eating Saloon, after two fruitless attempts
to rescue the boy, got hold OF his jacket as he
was sinking the third time, and drew him out
Of the water. He was insensible when taken
out, but after some exertions life was resusci-
tated, and last evening he was in comforta-
BILE condition. 1t was narrow escape for
him, and the young lady deserves praise for
her heroic conduct in saving him.

CHRISTMAS GIFrs.--At this time, when so
many are perplexcd as TO what they shall pur
chase for holiday presents, it has occurred to
us that there is no more beautiful and appro-
pirate gift which one friend may bestow on
another than fine engraving OF painting.
Such gift, always conspicuously present in
the house, is choice and most gratifying re-
,ninder Of the donor. We have been led to
say thus much by an examination Of the large
and tasteful assortment Of pictures at the store
OF r. J. d. Larrabec & Co., Exchange street,
where the most fastidious can find something

says, Athens presents gloomy appearance
Just now-no stores open, and business of
every kind at stand-still. All our friends
here took the oath, but none consider it bind
ing. The Union portion of the community
have been very badly treated by their dear
Yankee brethren. Everything they had was
taken when required. and they received in
return, not 'green-backs,' but simply re.
ceipt. Others again. had their negroes taken,
and made atrip to Knoxville, surprising they
had nothing to do but to apply to Pap Burn
