officers congratulated themselves on
making the usual easy landing, In

as the vessel struck the bank. AS
the steamer backed into the strea IN
and sounded her whistle for the rail-

alarm was given by Q deck-hand,

to his amazement, found at least q
foot of water on the dunnage, and a
hole between two timbers on the
starboard side, just above her knuck-
lie, which the water was rushing
through with immense force. Blank
cts and bedding were thrust against
1t, but the pressure through the hole
was SO great, that six men could not
hold the bedding until braces could
be placed against 1t. The officers
struggled heroicsily until the water
was three feet deep, when they reluc-

her. The boat was run along shore,
tied to the bank, plank put out,
when the passengers made an indis-
criminate rush for the timber.

HORACE GREELY.- This disting-
uished individual passed our city last
Saturday evening on the South bound
train, on Isis way to Texas. He Is a
fine specimen Of manhood, with a
suit Of hair AS white as cotton. He
was the centre Of attraction TO the
crowd Of passengers, and was corli-
ally greeted by many. We were
glad to see it, as we hope that this
trip South will disabuse his mind of
the idea that we are u set Of Ku-kluX
or heathens. A man Of his fine In
tcllcct and quick perception, will Ger
tainly sec that he has been misin
formed rs to our people and section.

WE attended The Expedition At
Nashville last week, but Were pBe-
vented from making any notice u

principal workman. At thIs late
date we do not deem II necessary to
say more than that It Is grand sue
cess. 1t Is an honor to Tennessee,
and will prove to be the best paying
advertisement ever issued by Nash
vile. 1t Is the best arranged and
best managed affair we ever wit
messed, and we are proud to know
That II Is a complete success. S
The meeting together and drilling
of the different Commanders Of
Knights TempIar, was one OF the
most prominent features OF the day.
They are composed Of the best and
finest looking men In the State.
Each Commandery did exceedingly
well, and the banner, for which they
were contending, was awarded to
Murfreesboro.
Tuesday night the banquet came
of, and through the courtesy of the
Masonic order, we were an invited
guest. The banquet was ample and
elegant, good feeling, sparkling wit
and sentiment ruled the hour. To
DIR. McCauley, Of Fredonia Lodge, we
are under obligations for Kindness
and for interest manifested in our
behalf.
Our brass band accompanied the
Templars, and the members, without
distinction, demeaned themselves in
the most gentlemanly manner, and
caused, an inward pride of satisfac-
ton to US that we had such worthy
specimen of manhood out OF which
t0 form hand of musicians and ut
the same time forming a band of
gentlemen. They discoursed excel
lent music, and considering tile
length Of time they have been prac-
ticing, Prof. johnson and the mem
beers may feel proud Of their profici-
ency.

pleasure and enjoyment to those who
were in attendance, but we are sorry
to note that but few, comparatively,
were present. The Rink with the ar
engagements made by the managers,
presented q rich appearance, and
everything passed of to the satisfac-

was not a success--after paying oil
expenses we learn the net proceeds
will only amount to $45. We trust,
however, that this noble organization
will not be less jealous, but go for
ward in their good work, for the fu.

been Instrumental In accomplishing
great good.
