Tremendous Sale of Mineral Lands.

Tremendous Sale of Mineral Lands.
We clip The following from the Knoxville
Press and Herald of Saturday last:
For some months Past, as our readers will
remember. our columns have contained the
advertisement Of Capt. Moses w. Nelson's
valuble mineral lands in Carter and John
soE counties, for sale. The Captain has
persistently refused, all the while, to sell
any part of his lands unless the purchaser
would take the whole. AS this required
too large a sum of money for any one in
this part Of the country, the lands have
been sometime 10 the market. We are glad
to learn th,t the Captain has at length,
through the agency of his attorney. Gen.
Ramsay. of this city. succeeded in dispos
iDg fhs entire possessions for the hand

who may probably soon enter into the mos.

and intelligent audience greeted Mr.. schart on
the occasion of his second reading, at the AS.
sembly Rooms, last night, Notwithstanding the
very unfavorable weather, and as on the pre-
vious night, all present expressed great delight.
Dickens Christmas Carol was read in style,
that could scarcely have been excelled by the
author, himself, and with an effect that must
have been exceedingly gratifying to the reader.
Tonight the readings will be concluded, and as
at feast, the good wine is kept back until the
last, 50, Mr.. Sharf, has, by his selections, de-
termined to serve up repast, on this, his last
night with US, that cannot fail to be relshed
by all who have any literary taste Mr.. Schari
deserves the thanks of our community, not only
for his efforts in behalf Of our charitable insti-
tutions, but for the delightful recreation he has
afforded, and it is hoped our people will mani,
fest their appreciation of him, and that to-
night there will be even larger audience than
has yet attended the readings.
