RrOOksitie Farm,

Mr.. Z. P. Baily makes an important announe-
ment this morning in the advertising column of
Nfunson & Baily, concerning the division OF his
BroOksde farm into lots of convenient size for
residences and small fruit and garden farms, for
persons residing in the city. The farm has been
surveyed and divided into five acre lots, and a
plat of the whole carefully and neatly drawn by
Capt Vanderhoof. This property is we'll loca-
ted, convenient to the city and offered at reson-
able rates. All persons desiring such property
or interested in the growth of our city would do
well to read the advertisement.

strong for Temperance.

Hazard, Minnesota, boasts of a temperance
society called the Iron Clad" on account of
the severity ofthe oath of abstinence adopted
by the members. They bind themselves by a
solemn oath to totally abstain from the use of
intoxicating liquors in all and every form, and
agree not TO enter any saloon where it is sold
for any cause; they call upon the world to wit
ness the sacredness of their vows, watch them
in the keeping of them, and call upon God to
curse them ifthey violate their oath
If the last clause of the obligation had been
taken by some of Kno xville's backsliding Sons
and their curses had initiated those traditional
chickens and come home to roost," there would
be many spotted individual found.

Local Miscellany.

Mr. Huffaker is burning a kiln of brick on
the corner of CroZier and Front streets.
Rock is being hauled for macademizing at
the confluence of Main and Cumberland streets,
East Knoxville.
Capt. Roberts of SEWER landed at the wharf
yesterday with one numbered bushels of wheat,
several barrels Of vinegar and other articles.
Two colored boys got to fighting yesterday,
and one of them was struck on the head with q
stone cutting it pretty badly.
We learned yesterday that the reason the
street sprinkler no longer performed its func-
tons was because the institution was not proper
ly sustained. 1t was kept constantly running,
but at no time were the receipts in excess of S71
per month, and when that sum was decreased,
the owner was forced to cease operations.

Fine Wool.

We were shown yesterday by Mr. Herbert
w. Hall the skin of an Angora goat dressed
with the fleece on, which was perfectly white
and presented fine silky appearance The
wool is worth from twice to three times as much
as that of sheep. and as the Angora is very
prolific and hardy, their introduction into East
Tennessee would be a source of profit to who
ever makes the effort a specially.
Messrs. Hough & Church on yesterday re-
ceived fuil-3looded Angora buck and to-day
will receive by express two does, from which
they design breeding. and in short time will
be able to supply the demand for those valuable
animals in this section. r.e
We also saw some fine wool from the South
Down sheep lately purchased by Messrs Hough
Il Church, which is upwards of six inches long
and very fine. 1t is just as cheap to raise fine
stock as the scrub, to say nothing of the i'm
mense advantage in prices to be obtained from
their SALE and we hope the day is not far distant
when our mountain sides will be covered with
noeks Of sheep of improved breeds for both

CnnfefIernfc Prices.

Mr.. c. J. Mckinney has favored us with a
price list of a number of articles as sold at
Lynchburg, Virginia, on the 21st of February,
1864. This was when the cause of the Confed-
was becoming almost as plenty as the leaves of
the forest, and but little more valuable. 1t
sounds something like old Continental times
when a traveller had to give $500 for a breakfast.

Quit Dragging.

This is now admitted by the medical pro-
fession as fundamental principle Of heal
ing science. 1t is wisely provided by the
human economy that whenever anything
is wrong in the physical system the natural
forces OF the body are brought TO bear to
eXpel the disease. The great aim, therefore,
is to strengthen the natural powers. This
has been kept in view by the skillful COM
FOUNDERS of HoStetter's Stomach Bitters,
which operates to give fresh vitality to all
the organs of the body. The effect Of this
medicine upon the stomach, the liver and
the kidneys, is prompt and decisive. The
patient, who is wise enough to quit drugging
and try the bitterS, soon feels as If he had
taken a new lease of life, and as he con-
to find the streams Of health coursing
through his frame. 1t is prepared with
great care, and its component parts are en-
tirely vegetable. 1t is free from the objec-
,ions so often urged against preparations of
the kind. AS a medicinal agent it has no
equal, while its pleasing flavor and health
full effects have made it a general favorite.
1t Is free from all properties calculated to
impair the system, and its operations are at
once mild, soothing and efficient. All who
have used HOStetter's Stomach Bitters attest
its virtues and commend IL.
Even those who are in the enjoyment of
perfect health frequently have need TO have
recourse to tonics as preventiveS OF disease.
We are never too well armed against the
assaults OF "the ills that flesh is heir to"
In health or sickness this tonic cannot be
taken regularly without giving vitality and
elasticity to the system.

PITTSBURGH AND WHEELING.

THE anxiety displayed by the citizens
of Pittsburgh for the completion Of the
Connellsville railroad to Cumberland
and the efforts put forth to secure that
end, furnish some evidence of their APP
probation of the advantages to be Sc,
cured by bringing the Pennsylvania
Central and the Baltimore and Ohio
roads into direct competition. Their
only through line to the East was the
PENNSYLVANIA Central, and the influence
OF that monopoly was seriously felt
upon their trade. They now have a
short line to Baltimore and are begin
ming to enjoy in quickenei and slim
ulated commerce, the advantage Of the
rivalry thus created.
What the Connellsville road is doing
for Pittsburgh, it is expected the new
Panhandle road will do for Wheeling.
Our only direct eastern connection Is
with the city of Baltimore by means OF
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The
new road will bring us into closer COM
mercial relations with Philadelphia
and make cnovenient for us rival line
to the east. Pittsburgh had the Penn
sylvania Central and afterwards brought
in the Baltimore and Ohio. Wheeling
has the Baltimore and Ohio and now
proposes to bring in the Pennsylvania
Central. The same causes that made
two eastern railroads desirable to Pitts
burgh make them also desirable to
Wheeling. Our interests are similar to
those of our powerful Pennsylvania
neighbor. Our occupation is the same
and we buy and sell in the same mar
kets. 1t is therefore fair to presume
that the commercial facilities secured
to Pittsburgh by the possession of com
peting lines of railroad, would also &C,
crue to Wheeling 10y the operation Of
the same causes.

The IlenipGeI6.

The Monongahela Republican, in no
ticing the purchase of the Hempfield
road by the Baltimore Company, makes
the following statements:
The Hempfeld is to be remodeled
west Of Washington, the tunnels all
arched, and two tracks laid. Simulta-
neously with this improvement, con
nection the most direct is to be made
with the Pittsburgh and Connellsville,
then the great Baltimore and Oaio road
will have a short route West by way Of
Wheeling and over this route the
fast trains and heavy freight will
pass to the Middle of the West
whilst the Southwestern trade will
90 by way OF the Parkersburg
branch. This is not all-the lakes
have to be reached and that makes ueCes-
sarv the purchase of the Pittsburgh
and Cleveland railroad, and TO obtain
an outlet to the lakes it is only neCes-
sary for the Baltimore and Ohio COM
pany to make a branch from point on
the Hempfeld at the village OF Tay-
lOrstown. in Washington county, thence
to the Ohio river near Steubenvllle, up
the Aver to Wellsvi!le and there con-
meet with the Pittsburgh and Cleveland
road. and thus the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company will have succeeded
in obtaining three important outlets to
the great West. The completion OF the
Hempfeld is said to be only matter
of short time.
