We get the following notes from young
gentleman who has been travelling recently in
Anderson and Scott counties
Oliver Springs are in Anderson county, near
Winters Gap about twenty-nine miles from
Knoxville The Springs furnish seven kinds of
water, viz white, red and black sulphur, ep-
som salts, magncsia, chalybeate and common
spring water About thrce-quartcrs Of mile
up the mountain is n beautiful Lake, which COW
crs about ten acres of ground. \ gentleman
from Kentucky who thinks of building . large
hotel at the Springs, proposes to put sail boats
upon this lake for the purpose Of attording
pleasant recreation for guests He also intends
supplying his bath house with water by pipe,
from the lake. \ moderate number of guests
are in attendance this year. Game Of all kinds
is plenty in the mountains near by. Board is
comparatively cheap \ large vein of iron
and coal lies near the springs and parties are
talking of starting furnace
In Morgan county some farmers will scarcely
make seed corn, others will have pretty filil
crops. Our informant says he saw one thirty
acre field of corn, only about two-and-one-hal
or three feet high, silked and tassled out, 70
which he said he would not give ten dollars

THE LAW OF FILTRATION The ''law of
flirtation," as recently laid down by certain
judges, is OF Il nature to give pause to the
frolicsome and sentimental tendencies of
the time. Chief Justice Parker of Massa-
chusetts announces the opinion of the Su-
preme Court of that State, that an engage
ment "may be proved by those circum-
stances which usually accompany such a
connection;' and the Kentucky Court Of
Appeals has declared that the mutually of
an engagement may be proved against a
young man or lady "by showing that he
demeaned himself as if he concurred in or
approved the young woman's promise or
offer" 1t is not necessary that there should
be an express promise on either side; for
the learned and voluminous Mr.. Chitty, in
his WORK on contracts, says an engagement
may he evidenced by the unequivocal con-
duct of the parties, and by general, yet
definite reciprocal understanding between
them, their friends and relations, evidenced
and corroboreted by their actions. This is
serious; for it would seem, from the testi-
mony adduced at some cases lately on trial,
that conduct held to be unequivocal evil
dence of an engagement was very equivo-
cal indeed.

A comparison of the failures in the Unit
ed States in 1870, with the annual statistics
for the two previous years, exhibits an
alarming increase in the aggregate losses of
the entire county, In 1865 the failures in
the United States showed losses amounting
to S63, 754 200, as compared with S75,054, 900
in 1869, and SSs, ,272, 900 in 1870. This state
ment is certainly n startling one, showing
as 1t does an increase of nearly 20 per cent
over the losses involved by the disasters of
the two former years, and over 80 per cent
more last year than during 1865. 1t would
certainly Do unwise TO attribute the major
ity of these losses TO any one cause, whore
ii is quite certain that most of them arise
from combination of circumstances, prom
inent among which are the laxity with
which credit is regulated, the enormous ex-
penso of carrying ON business, and the con-
stantly diminished profits that are paid to
traders. The real absolute wealth of a COM
munity is alone attainable from the soil, and
when the number of producers Is exceeded
by the number of consumers, there must
always be dull times, TO be followed by de-
preston and bankruptcy. The war entail
ed upon society an unnatural spirit Of spec
ulation, while it inaugurated system de-
pending for its success on inflated values,
the services of an army of middlemen, and
enormous gains.
1t Is the effort to continue this system
that prevents the accumulation of surplus
wealth, which is so necessary to material
prosperity. Heavy expenses, high rates,
