The Mission Fair.

Notwithstanding the unpropitious weather.,
there was tolerably good attendance at Hox-
sic Hall last night, though not near so large as
there would have been, had the evening been a
fine one. The attractions we've as great as the
night previous, and the ladies eXerted them
selves to please most successfully. The ladies
and gentlemen having this matter in hand de-
serve the support of the community for their
praiseworthy efforts in the cause Of Christianity
The auction was postponed until tonight,
tending the hall will be kept open all day and
tonight, and the ladies will be in attendanc to
wait on visitors, when everything will be closed
out. This arrangement cannot fail to meet with
the approval of every one and will be produc-

COMMERCIAL.
Live Stock Market.
CATTLE.


Notwithstanding the dizziness which charac-
terized the market at our last report, the re-
ceipts OF cattle during the past week have been
very good, and taken altogether we believe the
general quality Of those offered excels that of
any previous week this season. Considering
the scarcity of grain in East Tennessee it is as
tonishing that such large number have been
fattened this year. We have several times heard
the remark that more fat cattle have been sold
in Knoxville this year than ever before. How
true this is we are not prepared to say, as
we we have not statistics before US, but if
correct, it certainly is an evidence of the
increased interest our farmers are taking in
stock raising. To our Northern readers, who
are looking to our section for homes, we point to
the average gross weight of the cattle sold this
week as cOrroborating our former statements,
that East Tennessee has all the advantages of q
stock raising country. The total number sold
during the week was 123 head, making an ag-
gregate gross weight of 40, 2S5 pounds. Among
those who have sold fine cattle during the week
we may mention Mr.. Easley, Mr.. Hope and
Mr.. n. B. Brice-the latter gentleman dispOs-
ing of sixteen head of the cattle mentioned by
us some days ago, which is said to be the hnest
lot of steers in East Tennessee. Two OF the
sixteen sold, three years old, crossed 3,O35
pounds. Several car lOeds were shipped TO
other markets, by Messrs. FAM IL Jones and
Mr.. JOS FAM, who is the purchaser OF Mr.
BriceS lot.

Wonderful Eggs.

Somebody started the st,ry of strange freak
of nature in a fowl laying Black eggs and the
newspapers have taken upthe cry. The Bris-
tol Ne,cs says that Mr.. Oyler has sent to the
editor of that paper thrse very remarkable
eggs. Two of these are luck eggs and one of
them bears a close resemblance to the duck
which laid it, having an ebngated end which is
shaped like head and neck, folded back onto
the body in the position sousual with the duck
when at rest They are scarcely half the usual
size and quite blue in COLO. The hens egg is
not larger that Mississippi rife ball.
The feathered bipeds shotld stop those freaks
and content themselves VIII laying good mer-
charitable eggs.

4 HEholesaIe Merchant Rlnckinr Ron1s.

One of Olive Logan nice young men" and
quite favOrte with his class had experiences
an evening or two ago that do not often happen
TO one Of his years. Stepping into one of our
fashionable tonsorial saloons he threw himself
into one of the easiest chairs and called for the
boot black to tit his pedal eXtremites for visit
ne was going to make to one of the fair bellies of
the city. The proprietor of the shop, much to
our nice young mans alarm, informed him that
his boy was out and he couldn't black his
boots. CONSERVATION was plainly depicted on
his countenance. What shall l do? he cried.
Now quiet, middle aged gentlemen, con-
nected with one of our largest wholesale houses
who happened 20 be waiting his turn, thought he
might relieve the young mans embarrassment
and at the same time give him Il sly hint that
under such circumstances one of Olives incest
young men would easily solve the problem:
" What do you pay for backing your boots ~
said the wholesale merchant. " A quarter"
promptly answered the young man. All
night, I'll black them" said the merchant, and
10 sooner said than done The young man got
his boots nicely polished and went his way re-
ioicing and the wholesale merchant quietly
pocketed his quarter. Olive Logan ought to
have this story 10 paint moral.

DR.. RUTH A. FRENCH,

IS them to shrink from treatment at the hands of
