PrOncrty Restored.

The friends Of Col. JOHN ii. CRoZIER-and
there was time when he had good many in
this dircction-will be gratified with the in
formation contained in the paragraph annexed,
which we copy from the Knoxville Press and
Herald of Sunday last:
The many friends of Col. Jno. II. Crozicr
will be glad to learn that he is now in the
peaccable possession Of all his property. The
litigation between himself and Gov. Brown.
low and the Pickens is at an end, and he will
be undisturbed in his title. 1t will be remem
bered that his property was sold to Governor
Brownlow and the Pickens under judgments
in their favor on damage suits, soon after the
war. 1t is to be hoped that all other damage
suit cases may be disposed of in Il similar
manner, and that with the restoration of pro-
perty to its rightful possessors, the asperities
of war may be forgotten.

Fire mt ESikcyilIe.

The letter Of our Pikeville correspondent in
relation to the fire which occurred at that place
on Tuesday of last week, did not reach us UNI
til Thursday night, when the paper had been
worked off. 1t appears the fire broke out a
short time before daylight on Tuesday morn-
ing, in the cooll-house attached to Henry W.
Harris hotel, which soon caught, and nOtwith-
standing the efforts of the citizens, the entire
row Of buildings adjoining was soon reduced
to ashes. Mr.. Hart lost everything except his
books and papers, and some four hundred dol
lars worth of Goods. Not thing was saved
from the second story, the boarders barely es-
Gaping with what they had on their backs.--
Mr.. Howard, assistant postmaster, saved the
letters in the post-ofiice, but the mail bags,
locks and keys were destroyed. Below, Hall
4 Anderson, Shoe, Saddle and Leather Dealers,
were burned out, but saved nearly everything.
Frank Agee, Retail Grocer, saved his Goods.
Two frame buildings, belonging to Col Frank
Bridgman were also consumed. They were
unoccupied. Mr.. Harris loss, including build
ing, is from four to five thousand dollars. No
insurance on any of the property destroyed.
The fire is generally believed to have been
accidental. The writer says: The unfortu-
nate occurrence has spread ceep gloom over
our little village, and Pikeville now looks as
II some of Sherman's army had been around.

Mrs. SuIlins' Examfnn tfon.

The examination Of the pupils of this inter-
esting school took place on Monday and Tues
day, the 22d and 23d instant. 1t was sufi-
GENTLY thorough to test the scholarship of the
pupils in the various branches that they had
studied. 1t is but just need of praise to say
that the young ladies acquitted themselves in
such a manner as to reflect credit both upon
themselves and teachers.
Mrs. SULLINs is faithful to her trust. The
best monument she could ask or desire Is to be
seen In the improvement Of her pupils. To
this she can .unhesitatingly refer; for her pu-
pills have not failed to make progress. The lit
erary department has been under her own care.
The musical department has been under the
care of Miss DEADERIcK, who is thoroughly
competent and accomplished in her profession.
So good a teacher of music is rarely found.
The musical performance from first to last was
interesting and good.
On Tuesday night the young ladies read orig
inal compositions, varying the exercise with
music. In the compositions there was fresh
ness and simplicity of style that betokened un-
questionable originality, yet coupled with suf-
ficent maturity of thought to entertain and
delight the large audience. In the main, they
were read with distinctness. One or two of the
compositions contained references to the state
of the country perhaps in the abstract objec.
tionable, as are all political references on occa.
sions purely literary, especially where there
is not entire unanimity of sentiment OH the
subjects that come thus under review. But
while the sentiments expressed might have
been obnoxious to n portion of the audience
they found in many hearts a responsive echo
ourselves by no means excepted. We cannot
therefore, censure the fair composers with any
severity for saying what we as well as they Sc
heartily believe; but, in the main, If we may
speak it without offense, it is. we think, best t.
avoid political references on such occasions.
If there were not so much of merit in the eX
ercises as whole, and in the compositions
themselves that contained the references allud
ed to, we should feel afraid to speak so freely
But the sun itself, the source of light, has sOmt
spots across his disc. We do not on that ac
count love the light any the less.
Mrs. S. deserves success. Her school is {
blessing to the community. Long may pros
