Friends In BlOuut and other Counties.
Whereas, the present interest awakened
in the public mind on the subject of edu-
cation calls for suitable efforts on our part
to meet the demands of the hour; teach
ers are so much in demand that competent
ones cannot be had the expense of travel
ing is a bar to much help from the North
and more than this, we feel that it is of The
first importance for us to arouse an interest
among our people for the vocation of the
teacher, and to qualify our own children
for it. ~
We, therefore, call public meeting to
consider what steps may be taken to es-
tablish a normal institute for the training
of teachers and the accommodation of such
young men of our own race in these coun-
ties us wish these advantages, aud to pro-
vide means for cheap and comfortable
boarding for them while thus engaged in
preparing themselves for the honorable
calling of teacher.
All persons friendly to such step are in
vited to meet at Maryville on Friday, the
18th of December, at O'Clock, PM.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: This has been a
merry week in Sevierville. Circuit Court
has been in session, and has drawn people
from all quarters. His Honor Judge Ran
dolph is presiding. A little better than
four days have been spent and but little
business done. The most of the time was
consumed on case between Bogart and
Duggan, a stabbing difficulty, referred to
some time ago. Duggan stabbed Bogart at
the residence of Rev. Lemuel Bogart.
After all the quarreling between the law
yers over the testimony, and the lengthy
speeches by the attorneys, they made a
mistrial. Judge Swan spoke from l Z. NJ.
until night, and made one of his telling
speeches in behalf of the state. He and
Mr.. Blackburn spoke in behalf the State,
and Duggan, Caldwell and Meek for the
defense.
Chandler, Murphy & Co. returned few
days since from Kentucky, with forty-nine
fine mule colts, which they intend keep
ing some two years on their fine lands for
their growth.
Messrs. Trotter and Ford started South
with about two hundred fine hogs on
Monday. Hogs go at to A! cents per
pound.
Some person ought to take about fifty
mules and about one hundred hors IS out of
Sewer county, and even then W. would
have plenty left.
Mr.. d. f. Murphy, of Sewer, died few
days since of fever also, Mrs. Zett, wife
of Mr. John Zett, who died of something
like cancer She was followed to her last
resting place by many of her friends on
Tuesday last. SEWER.

Fred. Douglass is one of the ablest
champions we have of the American poll
cy. In the current number of his journal,
the NeW National Era, he writes of a
home market for the Southern agricultu-
rist 1t does not require very profound
mind to decide whether it is better for the
farmers of Virginia to send their products
to Richmond, Lynchburg or Alexandria,
or those of Georgia to Atlanta or Savan-
nah or August, where a ready market has
been made by four or five cotton or wooden
mills or blast furnaces, FORCES and rolling
mills, and manufacture their own rawma-
terial, or look to England for a market for
one and to manufacture the other. The
one system will build up American indus
tries, provides demand for American Ia
Dor and create market at our own doors
for what we raise; the other encourages
and sustains foreign capitals, foreign la
Dor and foreign interests of every kind.

1t is SO easy to overdo good thing, and
the "slipn between the I" cup and the lip
is so readily found. A mechanic rejoicing
in the name of Dubois, and a resident of
the city of Detroit, took to drinking, and
was speedily transformed from hard
working man into drunken sot. His
good wife scolded, entreated, diminished
the thickness of his beard without the use
of q razor, but could make no change. One
night Dubois arrived home and found that
his wife and his coat had changed places
the latter lay on the floor and the former
was suspended from the hook. Up rushed
Dubois to the rescue, took his wife down,
and after much labor brought her to her
senses, The attempt at suicide completely
sobered him, and like Obadiah Oldbuck,
he turned over new leaf. He promised
never to drink again, and probably would
have kept his word if his wife had been
able to keep her own counsel. But she
was just smart enough to inform several
of her neighbOrs that the apparent hang
ing was put-up job, the rope being tied
under her arms. The knowledge of this
little practical joke coming to Dubois
ears he first thrashed the whole family,
then performed some extraordinary feats
of Misunderstanding and finally left the
premises, and has not been seen since.

in the South. 1t bursts forth
in the midst of the most fertile
country in the State. 1t bub-
bles up in basin near one hun
dred feet deep and about an acre
in extent, and sending from it a
deep stream sixty to one hun
dred feet wide, ,and extending six
to eight miles to the Ocktawaha
river. In the spring itself fifty
boats may lie at anchor-quite
a feet. The spring thus forms
a natural inland port, to which
large steamers now run regular
ly from the St. Johns, making
close connections with the O.
cean steamers at Pilatka. The
clearness Of the water is truly
wonderful. 1t seems even more
transparent than air.. you see
the bottom eighty feet below
the bottom of your boat, the eX-
act form of the smallest pebble,
the outline and color Of the
leaf that has sunk, and all the
prismatic colors of the rainbow
are reflected. Large fish swim
in it, every scale visible andev-
cry movement distinctly seen.
If you go over the spring in a
boat you will see the assures in
the rocks, from which the river
pours upward like an inverted
cataract,

The chill November day was gone,
The working world home faring:
The wind came roaring through the streets
And set the gas lights haring;
And hopelessly and aiInleSsly
The scared old leaves were flying;
When mingled with the soughing wind
Iheard a small voice crying
And shivering on the corner stood
A child Of four or oyer
No cloak nor hat her small soft arms,
And wind-blOwn curls TO cover.
Her dimpled face was stained with tears,
Her round blue eyes ran over;
She cherished il her wee, cold hand
A bunch of faded clover.
And one hand round her treasure, while
She Slipped in mine the other;
Half scared, half confidential, said,
"oh please, | want my mother"
"Tell me your street and number, pet;
Don't cry, I'll take yOut to it,"

The organ made me do it."
