AN UNwELCOMED VIsITOR.-A few evenings since
Mr.. John Pierce and wife, who reside at the Purga-
tory House, at the west part OF the town, were
quietly cOnversing In their sitting room about dusk
when they noticed their cat acted very sngulary
when going near the stove, also the dog, which
came in about that time, commenced growing. Mr..
Pierce got up, lighted lamp and commenced
examining some wood that laid back OF the stove,
when his surprise he found monster in the shape
of rattlesnake. Mr.. Pierce commenced battle
with his antagonist but did not succeed in killing
the reptile until he got out OF doors. His snakeship
measured over four feet and had many rattles.-

We cannot forbcar giving our readers the
following high compliment passed upon the
DAILY CHRoNIcLE by an old newspaper man,
Of acknowledged journalistic ability, though diff
fering with us in politics:
The Knoxville CHRoNrcLE is exhibiting n
good deal of journalistic entcrprise-in getting
M news, special dispatches etc. Ignoring Its
politics we regard it rs n model paper, worthy
large support We don't intend this as an idle
courtesy, but because it i justly due - thcnS
Post
The following very nattering notice is from
the Kingston East TtaHesseea,,, and we can only
say that we appreciate highly the commenda-
tions bestowed on our paper, and will try and
continue TO merit them:
KNOXVILLE CHRONICLE This paper comes
to us this week with the most complete Dispatch
es of any East Tennessee daily. The propre-
tors of that enterprsing journal having perfect
ed arrangements by which they receive "Spc-
cial Dispatches" from New York, in additionto
those of the Associated Press. This OF course
involves quite an additional expense but the
fact is now recognized, that to make paper
pap it must come up to the spirit of the times.
From that staunch Republican journal, the
Soldiers gazette, of Maryville, we clip the fol-
lowing high compliment to the DAILY CHROME
Gle:
/" Our war dispatches are all taken from the
KNOXVILLE DAILY CHRONICLE. the only Re-
publican Daily in the State and one of the very
best in the whole country. The proprietors are
evidently determined to spare neither labor nor
money in their efforts to place the CHRoNICLR
in the front rank of iournalism. We have heard
but one opinion expressed in relation to it, that
as a newspaper it is worth all the other Dailies
in this end of the State. If the Republican par
ty in Tennessee desires an able, heightened and
spirited exponent and advocate of their princi-
pies, they should extend to the CHRONICLE n
hearty support"
The Loudon Star Democratic has the fol-
lowing, for which we render thanks;
The DAILY Knoxville CHRONICLE mani
tests ability in all of its departments. Every
thing about it is gotten up in style and it is
really q credit to the fourishing city of Knox
vile. Leaving politics out of the question alto
gether, we like to see handsome paper, de-
noting care and capacity in its management, and
this the CHRONICLE certainly does
