pretors of the Union inform us that the range
which they formerly used consumed annually
about ffty.two cords of wood, but that the new
stove will need considerable less, and thereby
be great saving us well as being better suited

AT HIS OLD TRIoKs.-The following, relating
to a former well-known resident OF Weavervile,
we find in the Daily Examiner of Oct. l7rh;
"Rodger Dockery was arrested by citizen, NJ.
u. Larsen, on Saturday afternoon, for knocking
down and crnelly treating his (Dockery'S) wife,
an elderly lady, corner of Third and Mnna

1t would seem that Rodger has not undergone
any transformation since leaving this place.

rrbe S,ouewau Monument,

Ex-Governor Letcher, of Virginia, has
published a statement respecting the pro-
posed monument to Stonewal jackson,
saying fifty thousand dollars is needed
and that no local or sectional views re-
strict the scheme-that it is not sectional
in its design, and the North has cordially
responded to the appeal, and the East and
the. West are moving. 1t is proposed to
erect memorial chapel at the Virginia
Military Institute, at Lexington, and,
should the funds collected permit, a statue
in bronze or marble, ''to transmit to COM
ing generations the features, form and ex-
preston of one whose name and virtues
are alike known and honored throughout
the civilized world, and who was bright
examplar of whatever was true and noble,
and Of good report among men,
We were informed yesterday that regu-
larry constituted persons viii call upon our
citizens soon in flrtherance of this object.
No extraordinary appeal viii, we presume,
be necessary to elicit a liberal response.

Cheese Prospects ON the Western RE-
------ SPrNR-

Tho Cleveland Herald of March 81, con-
tains the following article upon the pros
poets awaiting the cheese product on the
Western reserve. 1t will be seen that ii
does not take a very rose colOred view Of
the situation:
The market here is extremely depressed,
prices are weak and the market unsettled
There is nothing doing except what is
needed to supply the wants Of the retail
trade. The old stock is being worked off
slowly, at about previous prices, but job
bers are not buying to any extent, as they
all unite in the idea that when the new
crop shall come on the market, which will
be IN the course of a few weeks, low prices
cannot fail TO prevail This fact, coupled
with the depression at the seabOard ports
on the part Of foreign shippers, and the
light demand South and West, deters many
from operating who ordinarily are engaged
at this season of the year in the cheese
trade. What the upshot of the matter will
be time only can develop, but the view of
the present time is not fattering for those
having large stocks on hand. That lower
prices than obtained last year will have to
be accepted by the makers is pretty gener-
ally conceded, but with the decline in the
price OF labor, and all the articles that
enter into the manufacture of cheese, that
must inevitably follow the depreciation in
the gold premium, our dairymen should
not become at all discouraged, but will
ind at the end of the season that they
really have made as much money as when
high prices ruled, and the concomitants of
manufactures were correspondence high.

The Advantages of Advertising.

The shrewdest business men in the
world ever have availed themselves of the
facilities offered by the press for placing
their business before the public. The re-
suit has been, without exception, largely to
their advantage. Indeed, a large and
successful business can hardly be conduct
ed now without frequent communication
with the public through liberal advertise
ments. OF course it is our interest to say
SO, but is it any the less the truth because
we say it An advertisement is certainly
an invitation from q manufacturer or trader
to the public to give him call, and
the small outlay which it involves cannot
possibly be any great consideration to a
business man. An advertisement. ju-
diciously worded, and inserted i'll the jour
nal that will give it the greatest direct cir
culation to those whom it is intended, will
assuredly pay. Advertising columns are
sometimes compared (rather irreverently
perhaps to Jacobs ladder, reaching from
the earth of dependency to tn eheaven of
success. There is much truth in the COM
parison, as all will admit who have tested
the utility of making known their business
in the newspapers.
As the spring season in all departments
has opened with prospects of. good and
continued trade, our merchants, manufac-
turers, etc, viii, of course, give heed to
this hint to the wise, etc.

The CrOp Prospects.

The Knoxville Wig says that the wheat
crop in upper East Tennessee is looking
well, and if the season continues good, we
may expect large yield in this part of the
State.
The Cleveland BaHnersays: The wheat
crop in this section is looking remarkably
fine and thrifty for this season of the year.
We have never seen it look better or more
promising. Our farmers are. now busily
engaged in making preparations for pitch
ing their corn crops.
The Gallatin Examiner of yesterday has
the following items about the crops and
things:
The wheat is generally looking finely
throughout this county. A fair average
breadth has been sown.
The oats are generally in and those
above ground look well. The grass is not,
upon the whole, SO far advanced as usual at
this season, which is to be attributed to
the. cold, wet weather of February and
March.
The quantity of cattle is rather slim at
this time. The same remark may be made
of horses and mules, the surplus having
gone forward to market. The hogs have
suffered greatly from the cholera the past
year, but we suppose that sufficient is left.
In the way of fruit the peaches have
suffered severely from the spring frosts,
but we hope that plenty are left. There
has been no damage thus far to the apples
or other fruits.

ANNIVERSARY.



Tomorrow is the anniversary OF the sur
render of Gen. Lee. Tomorrow five
wears ago the sun rose from his crimson
couch in the east and shone down upon the
veteran and shattered legions of the Con-
federacy. Smothered out by numbers,
later in the day the grand and towering
hero of that veteran army surrendered the
cause and beneath the boughs of the apple
tree at Appomattox, the star of the Young
Confederacy went down forever. Five
years have passed. As sequence OF that
davis business, the American Anti-Slavery
Society disbands in New York tomorrow.
At the first event, while hearts beat at the
time sad and low in ''Dixie, wild demon
STATIONS of Joy were INDUCED in by the
yictors; the latter event, though attended
with jubilee in the Empire state, Will
cause regret nowhere. After an existence
of thirty seven years, animated and VI
talized all the time with an in
tensely bitter sectional hate that
nothing could placate or subdue, the
Anti-Slavery Society will be mustered out
of service tomorrow, the anniversary OF
the day on which our brave Southrons
| ground arms after their long and heroic
struggle. Its battle-cry was war to the
knife. It was terribly in earnest, refusing
to retreat single inch. 1t was always
aggressive, always active and an inplacaoie,
bitter foe.
The two events are at least suggestive
and we mention them here conceiyine
them calculated to inspire varied reflections
| among our friends in this latitute.
