Correspondence.
Mr.. ED1roR:-We paid a visit to
Lynnville on the sth inst, the re-
collections OF which are so pleas
ant that we are constrained to pre-
sent them to you. This thriving
town containing a sociable and hos
| pitable people, is as you know, To-
catedin a rich and prosperous sec
tion of the county. Whilst it is
laid cut on a plan of its Own, indie
pendent ofright angles and squares,
it has a bright look with its hand
some and substantial buildings, as
1 it nestles amidst the gently sloping
hills and green fields which sur
round it. The crops in the vicinity
have suffered for rain, yet are good.
A refreshing shower fell on the day
in question, cooling the air and re-
viving the dropping vegetation.
The indefatigable Col H., with
an eye to the continued growth OF
the place, is erecting a large brick
kiln east of the town. We hope a
refreshing shower of greenbacks
viii reward his enterprise, and that
he may realize, also, that the sue
cessful making of brick is not in
compatible with acceptable church
membership.
We were shown at the store of Col.
Gordon, the model of a cotton and
hay press, invented by our enter
! prising feilow-citizen, Capt. Towner.
In the cheapness and simplicity of
its construction, and in the facility
with which it is worked, it excels
anything of the kind we have ever
seen. We predict for it a success
as gratifying as its merits are supe-
rior. The Captains arm is slowly
recovering from the injuries ofsome
weeks since.
On the night of the Sth tableaux
were given by the young ladies and
gentlemen OF the town and neigh
borhood. to raise funds for church
/ purposes. They largely attended
and proved a very gratifying sue
cess both as an entertainments and
in the pecuniary results.
The Town Hall, large and com
modious building, conveniently To-
Gated, with superior railroad facili-
ties, under the excellent manage
ment of Mrs. Col. G.. and Miss NJ,
whose good taste and skill were
conspieuou, in every detail, was
tastefully decorated for the coca
sion.
The troupe, under the manage
ment of the elegant Capt. Bob NJ,
comprised some of the handsomest
young ladies, and most gallant
/ young gentlemen of the town and
vicinity, whose appreciation Of
character and tact. in their perfor-
mances, would have been creditable
to more experienced heads. The
/ programme for the occasion was
admirably arranged, and the selec-
ton Of pieces most appropriate,
tableaux, charades and music being
the order the evening. The per
+ formances were inaugurated by the
good looking manager in a grace
ful and suitable address, which was
followed by a song by the Misses
+ s., assisted by Miss j., and the
young gentlemen. I may mention,
en- PEASANT, that these young ladies
contributed largely to the evening s
entertainment by their musical per
formances, and whenever their low,
sweet voices were heard, mingling
with the coarssr music of our sex;
the large audience VAS hushed TO
silence 70 catch every note that fell
/ like pearls from their lips. During
the interlades, our handsome friend
/ Capt. ". with his excellent band
of amatuers, varied the porfor-
nance with the gay Captain Jinks''
and other lively airs. Indeed. the
music was an important feature in
the programme. AID those whose
souls were moved by tie concord OF
sweet sounds enjoyed a rare treat.
As IN an article like this we cannot
do ell justice. we win only refer 10
few pieces, promising that the
gentlemen acquitted themselves ex
| ceedingly wen, though oar attention
was by no means engrossed By
them.
We were especially charmed il
the beginning With the 50 le o. scr
