SOME ladies went to the Chattanooga
depot yesterday to see friends off for the
South. They got there early, went in the
ladies car, and were in the midst of an
earnest conversation when the signal for
starting was given. In great haste they
made their way out, and one of them
jumped from the platform, and laid herself
ont at full length on the floor of the depot.
She scrambled mp very much scared, but
not hnrt. Another leaPed wildly, and
dropped into the arms of young man who
appeareddelighted with the honor ofpresery.

was spectator of these scenes, but when it
came to her turn to 'qeap for life, the We
locity of the cars frightened her, and she
did not make the venture. She stood her
ground, and as far as could be seen was
biding her time on the platform. The
"gentlemanly" conductor no doubt put her
Off before she got beyond the burying
ground. Don't, dear girls, don't finger too
long on the cars when you go to speed a
parting friend. 1t is not always fortunate.

quite large crowd turned out, and in their
picturesque and fancy costumes, presented
a gay and attractive appearance. Festivi-
ties were kept up until late hour, every
thing going as merry as marriage bell.

RECORDER FosTER.-A city contempt
rary pays a just and merited compliment
to the official integrity and sterling virtues
displayed by this gentleman in the admin
istration of the arduous and delicate du-
ties devoiyed upon him. Speaking OF the
rigid impartiality with which he has exc
cuted the law upon all classes, and the as
siduity with which he tolls to acquire in
formation upon which TO form correct
opinions upon the matters submitted to his
decision, it says:
In our opinion a better Recorder, all
things considered, never occupied the posi-
ton. Ifany person is skeptical, let him
point out wherein Recorder Foster has
neglected his duty or violated the law.
None, however, dare breathe whisper
imPeaching the integrity Of his motives.
Bob Foster, as he is Familiarity called by
his many friends, is a most energetic, hon
est and well-meaning man he Is impul-
siVe, but kind heart throbs in his bosom
he seems harsh and cruel sometimes, only

more good can be accomplished by the ex-
ercise Of charity than by the enforcement
Ofstern Justice.

GOOD REsoLUTIoNs.-Ay young man of our
acquaintance made the following entry in his
diary, on the 3lst day of December, 1866
Our young friends would do we'll to begin the
New Year, which will SO soon dawn upon us,
with similar resolutions of abstinence and
amendment
'"'.Dec 3lst, 1865, IL P. MI have already
made many resolutions, which commit me to a
leave taking of nearly all outwardly bad practi-
cea. [ can therefore only resolve for the New
Year to study more earnestly my duty and to
invoke renewed strength to discharge it; also
to acknowledge the source from which alone I
can receive benefaction, and to render contin-
ued gratitude for the favors which enjoy
To which end I desire to receive such help
as may encourage. and sustain me-"
The young man who formed In his mind
these good resolutions and worthy purposes,
fell tar short Of the standard of duty and con
duct which he raised for himself. But the eff.
fort to be good and do right was not without
some beneficial influence upon his mind and
heart We recommend everybody, therefore,
to adopt his resolutions, and live i'll accordance
with them so that the year may pass in peace;
and bring with it's ending a crown of JOY and
blessing. -Lynch6wy Republican.

VALUE OF NETTLEs. .-Nettles have long been
misunderstood, but their day is coming at last.
More than once people have suspected that a
certain grave, ruminative, long-eared, animal,
knew more than he got credit for, and now we
find out that he does Had men known as much
long aeo, it would have been better for them:
Mr. Xavier Garenne has discovered that it all
the landes in the South and the waste spaces
in the rest of France were sowed and planted
With nettes, they would be converted into green
and productive fields. Heis astonished to see
the world so blind to the virtues of this hardy
plant, which, it seems. will grow everywhere; fr.h
delicious, early vegetable, and abundance OF
green fodder for cattle whose beet and milk
WILDE greatly improved by. the diet Nettles
are remarkably eficacious in restoring broken
down horses, and might, therefore, apply to
hacks of all kinds 1t is not the external ap-
plioation OF the nettle that is here meant
They have too, great commercial value, and
NAV be treated as hemp and spun into lines
and ropes woven into cloth.

FRUIT OF THE UpAs TREE-We have pub
lished, says the N. Y. Journal of Commerce, at
various times letters from well-informed gen.
tlemen in the Southern States, aluding to the
mischievous teachings of strolling radical lee
turers and agents, among the negroes. 1t is
possible that there may have been persons SO
fixed in their admiration of everybody and
everything bearing the name radical, = as to
attribute those assertions to the malevolence
of unreconstructed rebels! We have all along
been confident that the statements were per-
fectly reliable, and were made more in sorrow
than in anger, and by those who we're much
more truly the friends Of. the freedmen than
the colporteurs and peddlers who claimed to
represent Northern societies and Northern
sentiment We now observe, in the report of
Gen. Gillem, Assistant Commissioner of the
Freedmen's Bureau in Mississippi, a conGrma-
tion OF the statements to which we allude.-
He says:
"There seems to be widespread belief,
which is daily increasing among the freedmen,
that the land in this State is to be divided and
distributed among them, and in some sections
of the State, this illusion is assuming prac-
tical form by the freedmen refusing to contract
for the next year, or to leave the premises they
have cultivated this year. It is to be feared
that this course, induced by evil disposed ad-
visers, may lead to collisions, the extent and
result Of which it is difficult to surmise.
