IMPORTANT TO FARMERS.
Thos. B. McCOnaughey's
PATENT CORN DROPPER.

THIS Dropper will positively save
Il One-half the time over the old way
of dropping corn.
1t will drop right in the cross.
1t can be set to average any numbel
of grains desired to a hill.
1t c:n be regulated to scatter the
corn more or less in the hill, or drop
it all in close bunch if desired. In
windy weather this Dropper is just the
thing needed, as the corn cannot be
blown about while dropping.
All who have used these Droppers
agree in the opinion that the corn
comes up more regularly after them,
and there is less re-planting to do, be-
cause they drop a more regular number
of grains to hill, and every grain is
sure to be in the cross, where they are
covered alike.
Every Dropper will be warranted to
do all that is herein claimed for them,
or they will be taken back and the
money refunded.

A Whole Family Murdered in Fentress
County.

Another of those horrid deeds of blood,
which once would have chilled the blood
at the bare recital, but which have now
become so commsn that they attract but
a momentary notice and are forgotten,
has Just occurred in Fentress county, be-
ing nothing less than the brutal murder
of an entire family of four persons-all
females.
The facts as we gather them from the
Kingston East Tennesseedn, of the 80
instant, are as follows: The murder took
place on Sunday night, the 29th ultlmo,
at a place called Three Forks of Wolf.
The East Tennesseean' s informant, who
is recently from the neighborhood of
the tragedy, state that an aged
widow lady, by the name of GAL
loway. together with her two grown
daughters and a little girl some FIVE
or six years of age, was most foully and
brutally murdered on the night of the
10th ult. 1t appears the murderer was
iustigated TO commit the deed for the
purpose Of plunder, as it was generally
known in the neighborhood that Mrs;
Galloway had the day previous received
some three hundred dollars, being the
back pay and bounty on account OF her
husband, who died in the service. As
the money was nowhere to be found, It is
surm;sed the perpetrsto- of the deed got
il. The murderer, supposed to be Grub
Der, made good his escape. The occur
renee. il is said, has caused considerable
excitement. and raised the indignation
of the entire populace, - Mrs. Galloway
ana her family were highly respectable,
quiet and inofensive people. Parties
we're in hot pursuit Of the murderer, and
il was confidently believed he would be
overtaken and arrested - knorUtfte

A bot Bath.

An amusing incident recently occurred
in connection with Gentle opposition to
Mormon authority. A man coming from
the West stepped at the hot springs, just
outside Of the city. and having heard
much Of their medicinal properties, was
abou, to bsihe in one Of them. Afer be
had disrobed, and just Is be vas about
to plunge in, a stranger approached and
told him be could not bathe IN that
spring. The western Gentile'si ire baee..e
aroused at once, and thinking that 1t was
another instance Of Mormon despOtsm.
he Immediately replied: The h-h /
can't III ike 10 see old Brigham or any
body stop NE" and 10 be plunged, but
he got ouf sooner than he got 10, for IL
vas a boiling spring. His anger against
the Mornons had not permitted him 20
ask the stranger Why be could not battle
there, bat be vas determined 70 shov
Brigham that he could not sop him from
bathing.

buried themselves alive at the coming Of
the Spanisrds, long years ago, as they
we're foolish enough to believe that after
the Spsnierds had gone away they
would come from the ground as
fresh as a toad out Of hole where be

every one Of them is in q sitting posture,
his head between his hands aud the
knees drawn up under the chin, and the

GEN. GRANTS REPORTED VIEWS,

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times writes on the 18th inst,
as follows
hear from good authority that General
Grant said this morning that in his judg-
ment the President ought to be removed,
because the government cannot go on
practically or safely in its present demon
allied condition.
lie does not think the acquitlal Of the
President will iDjure the party, and says
the platform must reassert whatever Of prin-
ciple is involved in the trial, and not read
out of the party any but those who refuse
assent TO such principles.
lie considers himself in honor bound TO
accept the Republican nomination even if
certain Of defeat. lie has allowed the use
of his name and cannot now decently
decline because his prospects may be
gloomy.
Judge Chase is open in his opposition to
Gen. Grant aud sneers.at the disposition of
the Republican party to take up small
men as he calls them. lie is opposed TO
convicting the President There is more
in the movement oH his behalf than APP
pears ON he surface.
There seems to be little or no question
that General Grant has acted in the most
INDIGENOUS manner in regard TO the im-
parchment matter, and his friends have
been retailing his opinions about i'm
parchment at various points in the hope
Of Strengthening him with the Radicals
for the position TO which he generously
sspires. This has been done even at
Chicago, where il was supposed he would
have no opposition General Logan, the
Oommander-in- Chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic and member Of Com
gress from Illinois, made speech to the
delegation from his State, in Chicago, on
the 18th inst, and he is thus reported by
Mack of the Cincinnati Commercial
"He said that, 10 his certain knowledge.
General Grant had been, from the first an
active lmpeacher; that he had worked
strongly for lt all the time, and that no man
regretted more than he (Grantl the failure
Of Saturday
Mr.. Judd, another Radical Congress,
man from Illinois, made a speech at the
same delegation, and he is thus reported
"He said he was present on one occasion
when Grant told Trumbull that, if the
President was not convicted, he GRAFT
would not be able TO live in Washington,
20 great would be the reaction in the Rebel
spirit. This, said Judd, Grant said 10
TrumbIill in my hearing"
This is nice twaddle for the Generalof
the army to indulge in, and shows how
utterly unfit he is for the position to
which he aspires
