SPRINGFIELD, Tenn, April s, 1871
The lovely days-Of spring are here. The
grass is growing green, and the trees are
adopting The spring fashion. A few days
since it was thought that our fruit pros
poets were nipped in the bud, but it sp-
pears now that with no more visits from
Jack Frost we will have an abundance of
fruit. The wheat, which in the winter
was quite uupromising, is coming out and
now promises an average crop. | have
taken some pains to ascertain the wheat
prospect, and find that though it was
damaged by the fly somewhat last fall,
there is ample ground to expect good
harvest. Gardening is just now the or
der of business heresbout, while
farmers are blowing ground and
planting corn, etc, with an energy that
evinces a determination to secure an in
creased yield with the aid of the informa
ton derived from the Farmers Club,
which is now q permanent institution.
Col. John B. Fiser, the President, is re-
garded as an excellent man for the place,
as slso is j. R. Long for Vice-President.
1t is desirable that various clubs be or
gained throughout the county, which
cert inly viii be the case as soon as the
whole people come TO realize the great
benefits that are to be derived from such
associations.
The April term of the Robertson coun-
tv Court has adjourned, leaving
us without q tax on dogs, although hun
dreds of sheep are killed every year by
worthless ours; without a tax for common
school purposes, although there are hun.
dreds of children growing up in almost
total ignorance; and without an spprO-
priation for bridge purposes, although we
have but one in the county, which is not
a 1.-THE of those much needed. Strangers
who visit Springfield, and men who at
tend our courts, think we are in need of
q new Courthouse, but the County Court
can not see it. One who attends SEES
sion of this court is forced to the COnCld-
sion that some of its members are de-
termined to distinguish themselves in the
management of the county revenue and
finances, and that failue TO succeed will
be caused only by 4 wasn't of liberaity.
II possessed of little more libera.ity, the
members of this court, in the main, would
make admirable legislators. The tax for
county purposes was laid at 10 cents on
the hundred dollars. The county is re-
ported out of debt, which is probably
the case with very few counties in the
State.
Chancery Court which was in session
here last week, adjourned over last Satur-
day I'm il yesterday. Some very impor-
tant cases have been disposed of during
the term, one which was nesr masking
some very pious attorneys profane. For
instance, one gentleman remarked IN his
argument that certain exhibit to dep
csltion was heavy on the dam question.
Again, that he was no NIL dam man.
Matters growing out of apaltnership mill
dam were the subjects of litigation.
Judge Smith is a model Chancellor.

SOoToH VITA little boy lived for
some time with renurious old uncle,
who took good care that the child's health
should not be injured by overlooking.
The uncle was one day walking out (the
child at his side) when friend accosted
him, accompanied by greyhound. While
the elders were talking, the little fellow,
never having seen a dog of so slim and
slight a texture, clasped the creature
round the neck with the imprisoned cry,
"Ob, doggie, and did We live wi your
uncle, TOO, that We are so thin ?"

his passion for speculatior-but I don't
know. / am sure James was one of the
most discreet men iving--and business
OF that kind is something of which wo-
men know nothing. aldolq asad3i. q
Wherever was the fault, it was but a
poor remnant of our wealth which James
left to our only boy, the father of Nelly
and Agnes, and the dear lad John, / had
no share in it. Ny dover was gone long
ago; and my husband in his viii gave to
his "son, as the most precious of all leg
acies, the care Of his mother; preferring
to leave her dependent upon him. that in
her old age, as in her youth, she might
occupy the most beautiful position for .
loved and loving woman" People said
it would have been better If James had
settled q few hundred pounds upon me,
instead of bit of sentiment; but that
sentence was worth more than wealth to
both my boy and me. We were very
happy together; and when he married,
Mary made much of me, and put me, in
n manner, in the center of their home, as
though, I had, indeed, been gift in
which she was proud to own her share.
Still, there is no denying that if I had
had any legal right to maintenance

have been saved. Unfortunately it was
not. I'm sure / do not understand how it
went. No one was in fault My son was
fond of specializing, like his father; and,
as I said, that seems very proper line
of business to ME; but I suppose there
were sharpers about. I am very certain
neither James nor his boy were to blame.
Then came hard days and nights. My
son and Mary kept it secret from me as
best they could-but 1 SOW, though I said
nothing; only the old harp stood silent
then for many day. We came to this
manufacturing town of the west, my son
going before to prepare home for US,

Of the old furniture was saved; and that,
with Mary's skillful hands and plotting
head, gave to our new dwelling an mir of
luxury. which the pinched fare in the
kitchen and pantry did not sustain. But
we worked together to keep up my boys
heart-his losses told on him. From q
ruddy, portly man, he grew in one winter
sallow, stopped, dyspetic; then came the
morning. Had I not learned the signs
long ago? He did what he could for us;
bought scholarship for John in 4 neigh
boring college, and insured his life for
Jary's benefit.

her, make them fit to support themselves.

Mary told this to me, long after he was

more than even my boys words, for Mary
not naturally tender. Shewas quick-eyed,
