ObifnarK.


Died, on the morning Of the 22nC
day Of November, 1872, at the resi-
dence of Col. S. E. Rose, near Pu
laski, Tenn, Mrs. SARAH CARUrH
Frs MCLEAN, wife of Mr. T. Mclean
of Pulaski, and daughter of the late
Bromfeld Ridley OF Murirecsboro
Tenn,
The deceased was born on the
18th day of December, 1s49, and at
the time of her death was in her
oath year.
Mrs, MCLEAN was q member OF
the Cumberland Presbyterian church
and has resided only a few years in
Pulaski, during which time she en-
deared herself to all who knew her,
by her many virtues, her amiable
and elegant manners, her earnest and
tender heart. To these graces were
added a mind of unusual brilliancy
and fascinating conversational gifts.
She is the last female member Of a
large and highly respectable family,
and was the idol of her relations and
beloved by all who knew her. Few
deaths have occurred in this com
munity that occasions such intense
regret.
That one so Young, so gifted, so
gentle, so loveable, so bouyant with
hope, should be cut of in Iife's bright
spring time, has touched the hearts
of all with tender emotions. Even
in her dying hours all the beautiful
traits of her character were manifest.
Her purity of heart, her refinement
of sentiment, her elegance of man
ner, her warmth of friendship ard
ardor of love, all conspired to render
beautiful her last hours as they had
given charm to her life. Amid these
graces the christians hope
beamed brightly, giving assurance
that she was prepared for her jour
ney to that realm where the weary
are at rest. Although her illness
was protracted and painful, yet she |
bore it without complaint, with a
placid resignation rarely ever wit
messed. Mrs. MCLEAN left an in
FAINT only'a few days old. A devoted |
husband, fond brothers and kindred |
mourn her untimely death and many
friends pay sincere coincidence and |
Tho tenderest and highest medi-
cal skill and unremitting care and /
could not avail to save
Her aged aunt and uncle, fond bro
Tiers and loving friends came to
the last offices of friend
ship and affection. While the
thought of her tender infant, of her
husband, relatives and friends made
her cling to life with earnest desire,
she, with unwavering faith and un
hope, evinced a sweet and
willing resignation to the will Of
Farewell, my almost daughter,
arewell! We must submit since
leath is the heritage Of life!
Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the North
winds breath,
And stars to set; but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own,
0, Death.

SILVER
A Mine Near Aspen Hill.

Mr.. EDEToR:-You ask for infor-
nation from all parts of the county,
and agree to fix up communications
in newspaper style; else I should
not presume to offer anything to a
paper already teeming with inter
esting news. Now for the item. It
is the report of silver mine having
been discovered in the vicinity of
Aspen HILL Men have actually been
at work for two weeks, being engaged
in blasting away the rock which
hides the precious metal in all its
purity, so solid that it can be dug
up il massive blocks. This, If true,
will probably cause the tide of emf
grafton to flow towards Aspen, in
stead of the far-oT mines of Colora-
do, and perhaps health may Turk
near these mines.

The End Of All Things.

A young man Of Pulaski dreamed
a fearful dream the other night. He
failed to write it down as he dream
ed it, however, and thus saved the
world from being blown to atoms
and consumed by fire. A complete
process was revealed to him in his
slumbers whereby he might separate
the component parts Of air and wa
ter and combine them again in such
proportions that when an electrical
current was passed through them
they would Immediately explode and
ignite the whole atmosphere and
thus destroy the world by fire. It
is more dreadful to imagine what
might have been the consequence if
he had remembered the details of
the wonderful revelation thus mirac-
ulously made to him than it is to
think of the dire calamity that would
have befallen our earth if the Cali
fornia chemist who invented the
wonderful pill had not been killed.
We can assure the world now, how
ever, that there is no immediate dan
ger, but we win not be responsible
for the consequences if a detail of
citizens is not made to sit up with
him and keep him from dreaming
the thing over.

Do You Understand?

The following was picked up in a
store in town the other day and will
be understood by those concerned :
Mr.. T. A.-Your last communica-
ton was very di-stink tly received
and we confess our total inability to
reply, being considerably stopped
and unable to supply anything like
a comparable amount of material
matter requisite to meet the exigen
cy. Our piscatorial expedition was
a failure, as we could not effect a
passage, the water being too deep.

The Horse Disease.

The scourge which has been pros
trating our horses for several weeks,
in the shape of influenza, has as
sumed a more fatal character in the
northern cities in the shape of drop
sy, and in some cases farcy and
CHAMBERS. These are produced by
exposure, over-feed and over-work
too soon after the eplzooty has os-
tensibly disappeared. Veterinary
surgeons differ widely on the dag
nosis of the disease. One says it is
atmospherically infectious only,
while another says it is undoubted-
ly contagious, and too much eau
ton cannot be used to keep diseased
horses away from well ones. He
also advises that where farcy and
CHAMBERS are discovered, to destroy
the horse at once, as there is no
chance to save him, and he may
spread the disease and kill hun
dreds of others.

Peters Musical Monthly com
pletes its Tenth Volume with the
December number, and it is doing
Mr. Peters but simple justice to
state that his excellent magazine is
improving with age. 1t was good
years ago, when it first made its APP
pearance, and it has been steadily
improving until the present time,
when it can only be pronounced per
feet, and Indispensable to every lover
of music.
The December number, price 80
cents, contains three Ballads, a
Christmas Song, an Anthem, Four
hand Piece, as played at Theodore
Thomas Orchestral Concerts, and
three SPLENDID Piano Pieces. any
single piece being worth in sheet
music form more than Mr.. Peters
asks for the entire lot.
Giving so much really good Busie
for such a small sum. it is no wonder
that Peters Musical Monthly has
hosts of friends among our music
loving people. Those who have seen
it viii, Of course. renew their sub
scription for the coming year;
others, less fortunate, should send
the Publisher, J. L. Peters, 500
Broadway, New York, 81, and secure
the last four numbers as sample
copies, or SO for a years sHbscrip-
ton.

The Railroad Meeting.

From some cause the railroad
meeting advertised to take place on
last Saturday did not occur. It Is
matter of great Importance to
Giles county that she should take
an interest in this thing, as it has a
better promise of being a success
than any other similar project that
has been presented to us for some
time. We hope the meeting will
take place soon and that our people
may properly encourage the enter
prise.

Shot at a Thief.

Mr.. G. 7. Mason caught a thief
in the act of stealing wood from the
wood-pile Of Mr. Jas. H. Taylor last
Saturday night and opened fire on
him with a six-shooter. The negro
had his arm full of wood when Mr..
Mason shot, but he dropped it, clear
ed the fence at a bound, and was
heard running like a quarter horse
about a hundred yards off before
the sound died out. A hole you
could stick your thumb through was
found in the fence next morning
right where he jumped over show
ing that he made a very narrow es-
cape. That negro won't steal any
more wood.

John Adams, a descendant Of the
only man who ever reversed the or
der of nature by having his face to
turn black instead OF white and his
hair to kink instead of stand on end
at the sight of something fearful 10
behold, and who, previous to the sad
occurrence which necessitated him
to leave his native hearth stone and
take up quarters in our city, lived
near Wales Station, some two or
three weeks ago became imbued with
spirit of bravery and resolved to
enter at once upon the war path
He accordingly borrowed a pistol
from Mr.. Geo. White without his
knowledge,) and prepared himself
for the fray. Before he consumma-
ted his preparations, however, Mr..
White missed his pistol, and a search
revealed it to be in the possession of
the sable John. He was forthwith
arrested, and Notwithstanding his.
strenuous asseverations ofinnocence
of any intent to commit a theft, he
was forcibly brought to Pulaski
The party arrived in the city about
u o'clock at night and straightway
proceeded to the residence Of Esq.
]. L. Pearcy and walked that digni-
tary from his peaceful slumbers.-
His Honor plead the lateness
of the hour, etc, but was
forced to succumb toshe wishes Of
the party that he should dispose of
the case then and there, and wrap
ping himself in his robe of jus
tice, proceeded to investigate the
facts and administer the law in ac-
cordsnce Herewith. The result Of
his investigations may be guessed
from the fact that John proceeded
straight from the hall of justice to
the county lookup, and there to-day
he sits and meditates upon his woes,
patiently awaiting the assembling of
the tribunal which shall vindicate
his innocence and edress his wrongs.
John admits that he took the pistol
but says that he took it only in fun
and was going to carry it back the
very night on which he was arrested.
He lived some two or three hundred
yards from the store from which he
took it and had only had it about
two weeks and did not have time to
carry it back. Esq. Pearcy says he
knows John would have carried it
back that night, for he said he was
going to do so, and he also asserts
that he did not steal it for he amt
that kind of a person. In view of
these facts we think his accusers
should deal gently with him and that
the Court should not send him down
for more than ten or fifteen years.

Carriage Mandatory,

We took occasion the other day
to inspect some of the vehicles turn
ed out by Mr.. Graham at his new
mandatory in this place, and we
can say that it will compare favora
bly, with any eastern or other work
brought to this market. Mr.. G. en-
pIOys the best of wUrkmen, uses
none but the best material, and his
work is therefore substantial, while
the finish, both as regards trimming
and painting, is up to the highest
standard of art. We are glad to see
our people patronize Mr.. Graham,
and hope they will continue to give
him substantial encouragement.

A One-Man Fight.

A young man from the country,
by name Peter, came to town last
Tuesday and took a little too much
of the "enthuse." This generally
has the effect to make men brave,
and thus it affected Peter. In walk
ing around the square he happened to
come near the figure head placed in
front of the store of Rosenau d
Loveman. Peter is not uncivil and
he straightway accosted the seeming
man with a ''Good-day." Receiving
no reply, he repeated his salutation,
but the stoical countenance of his
visavis betrayed not the least sign of
recognition. At this Peters dander
waxed wroth, and a third time he
pronounced his friendly greeting,
accompanied with fearful threats
and menacing gestures. Still sol
emn as the grave the figure stood
and gazed at vacancy. Peters eyes
were a little twisted, however, AID
he imagined he saw a derisive smile
play across the countenance Of the
man before him. He could contain
himself no longer now, and he let
fly a blow with his brawny fist that
laid his victim low. About this
time the police arrived on the spot
and tapped Peter on the shoulder.
He followed the officer and the next
tap was heard at the door of the
l ,ck-up. into which Peter went for
season. The figure had its head
badly broken and its body mashed
and cannot possibly recover.
