KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Mar. ), 1872
The only noticeable change to note in the
produce trade ia the gradual decline in supplies
and shippers, inability to fill orders promptly.
Purchasers are withdrawing their orders and
sending them to points where their wants are
more readily complied with. This is in part
owing to the continued low water, preventing
up-country producers from coming out, and
partly owing to disposition to hold on for bet
ter prices. Be careful. The trade once driven
away from US, we will have to make conces-
sions to get it back We cannot move our sur
plus bacon at the prices demanded by pro-
ducers. Southern consumers are buying in

THE GAS QUESTION.
Card from the President of the Gas Light
Company. I'd
The condition of Anairs Explained.

MEssRs. EDITORS / noticed in the Press and
Herald, of this morning. the report OF the ac-
ton of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen upon
the subject of laying down gas pipes aI9 Inas,
and erecting posts, etc, and that q hot.In G G"s
made and carried " that the Knoxville Gas
Light COMPANY be officially notified that they
had not complied with the order OF the Board
made in 1870. as to the extension OF mains, ="
etc. .E.
Now. as President of the Company, l desire
70 make statement that will relieve the Com
pany, and myself as President, from all blame
that might attach for a Noncompliance with
the order of 1870, as above mentioned. 1t Is
we'll known that the affairs of the Gas Light
Company are now managed by a Receiver ap-
pointed by the Chancery Court, and have been
so managed, since July last, and the Company
has been enjoined from doing anything what
ever with the Works or the extension OF the
pipes, mains, etc, or any other Improvements
am aware that this unnecessary law suit Is
a serious intermission to the public improve
ment of the city, as we'll as to the private IN
terests of the stockholders, themselyes-yet, for
this am in no wise respOnsible-and that the
difficulty existing should be speedily settled in
some other manner than by protracted case
in Chancery >,
to Mr.. Swepson, to let two good business men
take the books, papers and accounts OF the
Company and give them thorough overhaul
ing and examination, and if l am found to be
indebted to the Company, l will meet every
liability promptly, and if the Company. is found
to be indebted to me- 1 will expect the same
prompt settlement. As to the legal points in
the case, am willing, as suggested some time
since, by correspondent in the CHRONICLE, to
make an agreed case, and submit it to the Su-
preme Court for the adjudication of all points
in controversy, SO that the case can be taken
out of litigation and all the desired and neceS-
sary improvements can be made, i'll compliance
with the contract or agreement mentioned IN
the proceedings of the City Council.
Respectfully, G.. M. BRAENER1

brighter DAYS Ahead.

L. T. UNIVERSITY, March 9, 1871.
The University grounds are being graded
and arranged in a Very neat style, under the
superintendent of Mr.. Dow, who has had long
experience in landscape gardening, and fanei-
fu1 as well as useful gradings of the soil. He
has had quite number of young shade trees
set out this week, and expects to have many
more before the close of the season.
Professor Bradley has just received from
Washington about seven hundred models of
machinery. of almost every description, for the
University, which have long been needed, and
which will be of great benefit to the mechanical
students; while the chemical, geological and
other departments are being eminently fitted
up.
The University for some years past, owing to
the effects of the war and other reasons, has
been in a state of lethargy and inanimation
but those days have passed away and a bright
er era is now dawning upon her, and soon. we
have reasons to believe she will stand erect
among the Institutions of learning unrivalleG
and unfettered, bearing upon her brow the
wreath Of science, and presenting to the world
her offerings of knowledge. 6. b. B.

An TmDOster,

4 female imposter has been going the rounds
among our benevolent citizens, telling pitiful
story of some woman who was at her house in a
state of restitution, for whom she solicited art-
eles of wearing apparel. Several responded,
giving her dresses and other clothing, which
She took with thanks, as also the mourning
Grape from the door of house in which a
corpse was lying, which she attempted
10 sell, and did sell at q grocery, causing her
imposture to be discovered. We made inqui-
ries of the police, who stated that on last Tues
day a woman went to the residence of Mrs.
Tom Sharp, near Second creek, and that night
gave birth to dead child, which was buried
the next day. The woman's name was Manah
Shannon, who has received aid since that time
from the authorities as q pauper She is an
object of charity perhaps, but the sharp woman
is using her distress for unworthy motives.

About a Knoxville Advertiser.

The New York Tribune expatiates thusly on
an advertisement of one of our enterprising
hardware merchants, Mr.. Thos. 1. Van GildeE,
which appeared in the CHRONICLE some time
since
There is something touching in the ingenuity
displayed in dunning their delinquent debtors
W%hlch tradesmen grown desperate sometimes
display. Thus hardware merchant in Knox
vile, Tenn, declares in an advertisement that
"a hardware business can no more be carried
on eyerlastingly without money, than dog can
wag his tailwhen he has none" My customers
adds the sufferer, "are all good, but what
good does mans goodness do when he don't
do any good 2' A question which numbers of
people may well ponder seriously. Our Knox
vile dealers patience has given out at last, and
he talks ferociOusly of writs and cOnstables.

To flRe Ladies',

The ladies of Knoxville have now an oppor-
tunity Of seeing one of the most beautiful spec
tacles ever offered in this city, in the magnif-
cent display at the East Tennessee China House
of china ware, house furnishing articles, glass
ware, table cutlery, toilet bottles and vases,
lamps, and thousand and one articles that e
don't know the names Of The samples are
conveniently arranged for exhibition and evince
an artistic taste on the part of Mr.. Cullen.
During the past month the sales at this house
have been greater than ever before for the same
length of time, which is partly to be accounted
for from the fact that heavy additions have been
made to the stock on hand, which is being con-
stantly added to. Merchants, hotel proprietors
and hOusekeepers can find here just what they
need at the most reasonable prices.
