Cleveland Items.

CLEVELAND, July 3, 1SI2.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: We have had no
rain for several days consequently the
weather continues warm.
The wheat market is still flat ; new flour
is selling at cents per pound
Watermelons and peaches have made
their appearance in our market.
Several persons left this week for the
Springs, among them was our friend Geo.
Thomasson. We hope George will return
to his home healthier if not handsomer
man.
While passing round town we called in at
w. w. Wood & Co.'s wooden pump manu-
factory. We are glad to see they are doing
a good business, and that their pumps are
giving entire satisfaction.
Ten pins are about played out, the ball
has almost ceased to roll.
Our friends of leisure, whose vocation is
that Of playing marbles and draughts, flock
to the inviting shades of the court yard,
like the innocent herd at midday, seeking
the shade of enchanting oak.
The Fourth passed off unusually quiet
The good people of Cleveland failed to Gel
citrate it, but unfurled their banner that it
might float proudly and majestically over
a free and prosperous people. Few days
should be cherished in the heart of every
American like the Fourth of July, 1776,
on which the joyful event occurred which
will ever be classed among historical eras.
Yours to count on,

MEMO.

GREENEvILLE, July ), 1872.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: In response to a
published invitation, many of our people
assembled yesterday in a beautiful grove
near the residence of Maj. l. G.. Reeve,
about one mile from town, on the Greene
vile and Paint Rock Railroad, to see the
dirt broken on that line of railroad. and to
celebrate the Goth anniversary of Ameri-
can independence. Speeches, patriotic
aud narrOaO gauge, were delivered by
Judge Sam. Milligan, Capt. Vanderhoof,
the engineer in charge of the survey, Maj.
John McGaughey and r. NJ. Mckee, Esq.
The many good things for dinner, fur
nished by the ladies present, were feeling
ly discussed and satisfactorily disposed of.
The grading was begun with all due GER
emonies, and the people dismissed with
assurance that it would be pushed forward
to early completion; and they dispersed,
believing that the narrow gauge is fixed
fact.
But while our people were thus indulg-
ing their patriotism, appetites, and curiosi-
ty i'll the grove, in peace "Inspiring, bold
John Barlecorn" was melting his followers
to the spirit and deeds of martial valor. in
the village. After much maneuvering,
the result was that one - Davis hit one
Class on the shoulder with stone
whereupon, Gass drew and fired pistol at
Davis but without effect, except to put
him incontinently to flight. No arrests.

SecretlMarriage of a Son of Gen. Hancock
30 the Daughter of q Merchant.

For some time past Mr.. Russell Han
cock, son of Gen. w. S. Hancock, and at
present connected with the firm of S. r.
Suit & Co., has been paying his address,
es to Miss Lizzie, daughter of Nicholas
Gwynn, Esq, a well-known Main street
merchant. Mr.. Gwynn objected to the at
tentions of Mr.. Hancock and preparations
were made to send the young lady abroad
for two years. Two years is an eternity to
young lovers, and they determined that
their happiness should not thus be destroy
ed. On the 30th of April last the young
couple quietly went to Jeffersonvilie, and
were married by Rev DR.. Hutchinson.
After the ceremony the young lady re-
turned to her fathers house, and has re-
manned there until yesterday afternoon.
The avowed intention of the young people
was to keep the marriage a secret until the
old folks became recOnciled to the union,
when the marriage would be made public
and the young man would claim his bride.
But marriage, as we'll as murder, will out.
One of the parties in the secret impaired it
in confidence to friend, and that friend
did likewise. Yesterday afternoon, Mr..
Hancock, finding that the secret was
known, and would in all probability reach
the ears of his father-in-law, wrote that
gentleman note giving the full particu
lars of the case. Before dispatching the
note, however, he sent for his wife, and
the young couple were registered at the
Louisville Hotel last night-LouiSUiUc

A Running Religion.

One cold winter evening, as 1 was re-
turning to the temple in which lived in
Japan, 1 saw man running by me with a
paper lantern in his hand. He had a
small bell in one hand, which he tinkled
briskly, and though the night was bitter
cold, he had nothing upon his body but a
loose cloth about his waist. His bare feet
battered against the sharp, rough stones as
he passed by.
/ pitied the poor fellow, and asked the
guard who accompanied me what it all
meant. He laughed, and replied that it
was "Only his religion ;" that he did and
suffered all this to gain the good will of his
god.
Oh. how sad is this compared with the
true gospel or love, which teaches us that
the blessings of religion are the free gift of
God! We do not need to ring bells or eX-
pose our bodies to cold winter winds, in
order to attract the attention of our heav-
emily Father, for he is ever ready to hear
us when we pray. But millions of poor
heather do not know this. And will not
some boy or girl resolve to come out, to tell
those who are running over stony roads
that there is better way" unto ever
lasting life ?-ChiLd'S Paper.

A NURSERY RHYME FOR BIG FOLKS

Not only the little folders,
Perched high on papas toe,
Bound for ride to London town,
On childish journeys go
For we all go up, up, up,
And all go down, down, down-y,.
And all go backward and forward,
And all go round, round, round-y.
Still do we reach for sunbeams,
And learn the rattle's trick,
The great big watch of Father Time
How we love to hear it tick
To pat a cake for Tommy,
And pat cake for ourself-
For that alone we labor and strive,
And hoard up our golden pelf.
This little pig goes to market;
That little pig stays at home;
And we all cry Weep for our nanny,
Wherever we chance to roam.
When Jack and Gill go up the hill
To fetch their pail O water,
AS sure as Jack comes tumbling back,
Poor Gill comes tumbling arter.
We seek our bed with Sleepyhead,
We stay awhile with slow;
And fill the pot with Greedy, glad
To sup before we 60
Jack Horners in their corners still
Do ply their busy thumb,
And What big boy!' we always cry,
Whenever we see the plum.
And "Who comes here p cries Trouble;
Lo! tits grenadier,
With the sorrow of millions with him,
Seeking his pot O beer.
Concerning the house that Jack built,
Our knowledge we exat;
But, oh, for cats to kill the rats
That eat our treasured malt
Our wisemen into brambles
Still jump with might and main;
And those who go to sea in bowls
Rarely come back again.
And don't some hearts, deploring
The things that gnaw and harrow,
Let fall the wheelbarrow wife and all,
When lanes are rough and narrow?
All yes the old rhymes suit US
As well as ever they did,
For the gst of our lives, from first to last,
