all about it another day. Cut it short
now. Found out person who was an inti-
mate friend and fellow-clerk with your
father. Made all right. Went down into

Z" it was very kind of you, but am sorry
you should have given yourself so much
trouble but I'm sure, if have any poor
relations that can be of service to in

No, Master jeremiah" said the &C.
centric old gentleman, "you have no poor
relations now, nor ever had; but your
father had a good-for nothing elder brother
who left home at an early age, after your
grandmother's death, and.was enticed to
60 abroad by fair promises which were
not fulfilled. So, not having anything
agreeable to write about, he didn't write
at all, like a young scamp as he was,
and when the time came that he had
something pleasant to communicate, it
was too late as his father was no more
and his only brother (your father) was
gone nobody knew where. Well, to
make the story short, that chap, your
uncle, was knocked about in the world,
sometimes up and sometimes down,
but at last found himself pretty
strong upon his legs, and then
made up his mind to come back to Old
England, where he found nobody to care
for him, and went wandering hither and
thither, spending his time at watering
places, and so on, for several years"
And pray, sir" inquired Jeremiah,
as his respected guest paused have you

@ Yes have," replied the little gen.
tleman, smiling significantly at his host
and hostess. One day he arrived in a
smallish town, very like this, and terri
bly, low-spirited he was, for he'd been i'll
some time before, and was fretting him
self to think that ne had been toiling to
scrape money together, and was without
children or kindred to leave it to. No
pleasant reflection that Well, he or
dercd dinner, for forms sake, at the inn,
and then went yawnng about the room;
and then he took his stand at the window,
and, looking across the road. he saw the

R6E- An unfortunate Indian missionary
had his sermon reported as follows:-r-
"The speaker was a deduction, and
gave learned description of Satan and
his skill in saving trees" The unhappy
preacher wrote piteous remonstrance TO
the editor of the paper which had pub
lished this resume, to say that he was a
Dutchman, and not deduction, and that
he had described Satan, not as saving
trees, but sowing tares.

STATE NEWS:

The Cleveland Banner says that the
sweet potato crop is the finest ever known
in that region.
The Sweetwater Enterprise states that
one day last week Pres. CrOwden was
killed by Leonard Baker at the house of
the latter, three or four miles south of
White Cliff Springs, in Monroe county.
The Lebanon Herald says that ar
rangements have been made by which all
who desire to attend the fall fair will be
conveyed over the Tennessee and Pacific
Railroad for half fare. Persons who pay
full fare going will be returned free of
charge.
The Lebanon Herald of the 8th inst.
says the track on the Tennessee and Pa
fic Railroad has reached a point within
three miles of that place. All the bridges
are finished, and the road will be COM
pleted to Lebanon by Saturday, unless
some accident occurs. Some time will be
necessary to get the road in running Or
der after ali the track is laid. Regular
trains between Lebanon and Nashville
will commence running on Monday, Sept.
10.
Speaking of the distilleries, the Knox
vile Chronicle of the 7th inst. says a
large number of fruit distilleries have been
put in operation recently in various parts
of East Tennessee. One distillery at
Louisville has already made a return to
Collectors Office for about 400 gallons of
proof spirits, and has paid the tax thereon.
There is scarcely a county in East Ten
nessee in which there is not from six to
dozen distillcries engaged in making
brandy. Under the new regulation adopt
ed for the benefit of small distilleries, the
law is very easily complied with.

Foolish FEATs.-There is nothing par
ticularly gratifying in the bare fact of
John Davidson having walked one hun
dred and five conse cutive hours in Quincy,
Illinois, without food or sleep. But it is
refreshing TO learn that paralysis set in
Immediately after the completion of his
task, and that, in all probability, he will
never walk again. 1t seems rather heart
less to laugh at fool when he is over
taken in his folly; but, if the attention of
the public is thereby attracted to the
criminallty Of such abuses of nature, it
may deter imitatOrs from following in the
