LITTER FROM BENJAMIN FRANKLIN. The

&C. b. Nelson, esq, of that city, for the prl-
,;leee of presenting the following beautiful
nd characteristic memorial of DR.. Franklin to
lis readers:
,sou DIR FRANKLIN TO MISS E. HUBBARD.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. -, 1856.
DEAR CHILD: | condole with you. We
nave lost most dear and valuable relation /;
mt il il the will of God and Nature that these
mortal bodies be laid aside when the soul Is to
enter into real life. Existing here on earth is
aearcely to be called life 'Hs rather an en-
5rvo state-a preparation to living-and man
is not conf pletely born until he is dead. Why,
hen, should we grieve that new child Is born
among the immOrtals-a new member added
n their society? We are spirits. That bodies
abould be lent to US while they can afford US
pleasure, assist us in acquiring knowledge, or
in doing good to our fellow creatures, is kild
and benevolent act of God. When they be-
come unfit tor their purposes, and afford US
pain instead of pleasure, instead OF an aid be-
come an incumbrance, and answer none or the
intention for which they were given,lt IS equal.
" kind and benevolent that away Is provided
Dy which we may get rid OF them. That way
IS death We ourselves prudently, IN some
cases, choose q partial death. A mangled,
painful limb, which cannot be restored, we
cut off. He that plueks out tooth parts
With it freely, since the pain goes with 1T; and
ne that quits the whole body parts with all
pains and possibility of pains and diseases it
vas liable to or capable of making him suffer.
Our friend and we are invited abroad on
pleasure that is to last forever. His chairs
was first ready, and he has gone before US
We could not conveniently all start together,
and why should you and be grieved at this,
since we are soon to follow, and We know where
o find him?
Adieu, my dear, good child, and believe
nat | shall be in every state, your atectlonate

AKentnckY Tragedy.

The Louisville Courier. Journal Of yes
terday has the following particulars of a
shooting affair in Marion county Of that
State:
By gentleman who arrived here from
Marion county yesterday, We have par
ticulars of another murderous affair in
Marion county, which is said to have oc-
Cured on the afternoon Of Sunday last,
some twelve or fifteen miles Of Lebanon,
near the Nelson county line. According
TO the statements made 10 us, Mr.. A. j..
Bell, who is the proprietor of the estab-
lishment known az BELLS distillery," was
in his orchard during the afternoon, when
two men, John Vancleve and Bill Leake
by name, came over into his premises and
began a quarrel with him. Leake Is said
to have remarked TO Bell that if he
(Leakp) owed Bell anything the debt
should be paid, whereupon he drew pis-
toll and fred twice upon Bel, both shots
taking effect and intlicting wounds which
are believed TO be mortal.
The parties are said to have been but 3
few PAGES apart when the shooting was
done. Leake fled after the shooting, but
one armed brother of Bell, getting together
four OF the neighborp, and srming himself
with shotgun, started in pursuit Of the
murderer. A sharp chase followed, and
the pursuing party at length came nearly
up with Leake, when the one armed
brother, levelling his shotgun, poured
charge of bird-shot into the back Of the
fugitive. This brought Leake down, and
he was easily captured. His wounds did
not prove serious, and he was subsequently
taken to the Marion county Jail by party
of citizens.

Earthauake In East Tennessee.

About nine o'clock on Sunday evening,
the 5lh inst, says the Knoxville Press and
Herald, the citizens Of cambridge, in
Jefferson county, were startled by expert
encing a well.defued shock of an earth
quake, lasting nearly minute. The
shock was accompanied by a loud rumbling
noise, occasioning much alarm among the
people. Window panes were broken, and
we learn from prominent citizen Of Dan
bridge that lamp chimneys fell and were
smashed to pieces. Beyond these slight
effects no other i'll results Of the earthquake
occurred.
But little sleep was INDUCED in by the
frightened citizens during the eventful
night which followed. The article of the
Press and Herald relative to the comet
without tail, was rehesrsed 10 many a
trembling Preside group, and the belief
that the shock was the precursor of col
lision between the earth and the comet
was general. The mysterious caVing in Of
the earth, few months earlier, wherein
the horses and pillow of farmer, engaged
in tilling the soil, went through to China,
on an air line, was told at length, and the
general impression was that Jefferson
county was on the point of being inunda-
ted by the waters Of some subterranean
river, or else engulfed in ruin by a general
caving Of all nature.

HOME AGAIN.

Return of Mrs. 8. A. Rhea. from Persia.
On Thursday LAST, says the Knoxville
Press and Herald, Mrs. Rhea, relic of Sam
uel A. Rhea, late missionary to Persis, ar
rived, with her three childreH, at the
home of her mother, Mrs. DIR. Cunning
ham, in Jonesboro, after an absence in that
far off land, of about nine years.
Rev. Samuel A. Rhea-s native Of Sui
livan county-was well known TO the peo-
pie of East Tennessee, though better
known by the history Of his missionary
labors, than in person. Some nineteen
years ago, having previously dedicated
himself thoroughly to the service Of
his Master, he left his home and his Ia
tive land and set sail as christian mis-
sionary to Persia, under The auspices and
patronage of the Holston Presbytery. At
the expiration Of niue years, he returned
to his old home in East Tennessee, and
remained among our people about twelve
months. During this visit he was mar
ried to the lady who has just returned to
the society Of her friends as his widow,
who, soon after their marriage, accompa-
MED him on his return TO Persia, - share
with him the perils, tie labors and the
Christ and pleasures of his much loved
mission. In 1865, Mr.. Rhea died at Oroo-
miah, his missionary poet. After his death
Mrs. Rhea continued the labors of The
post until the time OF her departure for

The horticultural Fair.

The Horticultural Fair now in progress
at Masonic Hall, YVES largely attended
yesterday and last evening, and much
interest is felt in the exhibition.
The many plants on exhibition COM
nand the admiration of visitors general
ly, bat the magnificent display of fruits
and vegetables is the subject of general
remark.
In our notice yesterday of fruit contrib
uied by various parties, we neglected to
mention the large variety entered by
Messrs. Truett & Sons. In apples they
have eighty. five different varieties, in
GLIDING ell of the most popular selections.
They have also on exhibition thiriy-fOur
varieties of Pears, including the delicious
Sickle, Bartlett, Flemish Beauty, Napo-
leon, Vicar OF Wakefield, Thomas Favor
lite, and in fact the most noted fruit Of this
description now grown. They have also
five vsrieties of grapes, that compare
with the best.
Yesterday, George w. Pickett, Of Obion
county, entered twenty-eight va.ieties el
apples, very fac. The display of fruit
exceeds all expectation.
In our repoL of yesterday we referred to
some fruit contributed by Mrp. johnson
of Shelbyville, when it should have beer
Shepherdsville, KY.
On the tables yesterday We noticed loI
of fine peaches from the orchard of An
drew Gregory. The admirers Of frui
regret to see such slim exhibition o
peaches.
Among other articles contributed yes
terday, we noticed some beautiful designs
from the nursery of Thomas Garland, ont
of which is plan for laying out fowe
garden, and another is handsome tabI
ornament. Some beautiful hanging bas
kets are also from his place.
| The committee last evening were busil..
engaged in their work of awarding prem
inns, and cards containing the worr
"premium," were being circulated freely
Alf H Douglass the prince of yegetarianf
comes in for his full share, and for hi
attention to the products of the gardens
will meet with rich reward.
The officers of the Fair have conclude
to keep open until Friday, and we hop
they may yet be prevailed upon to hol
over until Saturday.
1t is an exhibition worthy OF a very liz
eral patronage, and We therefore insist tbs
all our citizens should attend before
closes.

Appointments bJ the Receiver.

Yesterday Mr.. Bass, the Receiver for the
corporation, appointed Dempsey Corbitt,
first assistant clerk, and Henry Landlord,
second assistant clerk of the Markethouse:
Ever since he was appointed Mr.. Bass has
been endeaVoring to get settlement out
of Mr.. Mullins, the former clerk of the
market, but all his attempts have been in
vain. Mullins has been engaged in filing
bills to prevent the Receiver from turning
him out of ofice, but the climax was
reached yesterday, when the Chancellor
issued an order requiring the said Mullins
10 fork over. Up to late hour last even
ing, Mullins was still dcdging, and the
officer had not been able to serve the
order
