Facts About Cleveland.

Messrs. Osment & DeLany, the enter
prising Real Estate Agents at iCleveland,
have issued the first number of the OcOCc
Land Register. OF Cleveland, it says:
1t has $500 inhabitants, and is the
healthiest city in East Tennessee. 1t has
five good brick church buildings, two of
which have been completed recently. For
the past four years a graded free school of
three departments has been kept up, sup
ported by combination Of effort from the
State, county, city corporation, individuals
and the Peabody fund. Besides this, the
Masonic fraternity have good twO-story
brick Institute building in beautiful and
convenient location, in which they usual
ly carry on good female school. 1t is at
present occupied for a select mixed school.
There are also in the city two or three
other select schools in progress.
Cleveland has made marked and sub
stantial improvement in the last four
years. Her manufacturing enterprises,
however, at present are but few.
The DucktOwn copper mines ship from
this point about 10000 pounds of copper
per week.

in Baltimore last Tuesday. The Sun says
of the aims and characters of the order.

las is beneficial, patterned somewhat after
the Odd Fellows, Red Men, &C., with the
addition of regular uniform and perfect
military drill The sick members are pro-
perly cared for, widows and orphans are pro-
tected and the members act as band of
brothers in deeds of benevolence and good
will. The order has spread very rapidly
throughout the country, and nowhere, it
IS said Is in a more healthy state than in
Baltimore. The uniform consists of a
black frocl coat, similar to that worn by
the knights Templar, Of the Masonic fra
ternity, except that it has no collar; black
gauntlets, red belts, and swords with black
handles, fatigue cap of cloth, trimmed
with silver lace, with metal plate on the

Dreadful ACCIDENT.


On yesterday morning Just before ten o'clock,
about half a mile above RogerSville Junction, a
dreadful accident occurred whereby Mrs Hol-
der, an old lady probably tfty-fve years Of
age received injuries of fatal nature. The
train from Bristol was approaching on time and
rounding curve in cut the engineer saw the
lady in question about fifty yards in front en-
deavoring to drive hog off the track, clapping
her hands and keeping the animal before her.
The bell was rung and the whistle blown, but to
this she paid no attention, and though the brakes
were put on yet the distance was so short that it
was impossible TO stop the train, the beam in
front of the engine striking her in the back and
hurting the body against the bank, whence it
rolled into pool of water by the side of the
track. As soon as possible the train wan stop
ped and the conductor and others hurried to
where Mrs Holder was lying and picked her
up and conveyed her to the home Of her son,
who lived close by. 1t is said that her hearing
was defective. When the train left she was
still alive, but it was supposed her injuries were
mortal.
We learn from Mr. Dooley, conductor Of the
freight train which arrived last night at seven
o'clock, that Mrs. Holder died about twenty
five minutes after being struck.

THE MORSE MEMORIAL IN WASHING.
TON.
Speeches and Incidents.

The Morse memorial services in the Re
presentativeS' Hall Washington on Tues
day night, were interesting and appropri-
ate. Speaker Blaine laid off the great cleo
trician:
Less than thirty years ago man of
genius and learning was an earnest petit
TONER before Congress for the small per-
cuniary aid that enabled him to test Ger
tain occult theories of science which he
had laboriously evolved. Tonight the re-
representatives. of forty millions of people
assembled in their legislative hall to do
homage an honor to the name of Morse.
Great discoveries and inventors rarely live
to witness the full development and per-
lection of their mighty conceptions, but to
him whose death we now mourn and
whose fame we celebrate, it was in Gods
good province vOuchsafed otherwise. The
little thread of wire placed as limited ex-
pertinent between the national capital and
a neighbOring city grew and heightened
and multiplied with almost the rapidity of
the electric current that darted along its
iron nerves until within his own lifetime
continent was bound unto continent, hem
isphere answered through oceans depths
unto hemisphere, and an encircled globe
flashed forth his eulogy in the unmatched
elements of a grand achievement.
OUTSTRIPPING TINE ITSELF.
The meeting, as we said before, was held
Thursday night, the 10th inst. To illus
trate the great achievements of Morse's in
vention, we give this incident:

WEST TENNESSEE IN REBELLION.
The Cider Will and Sausage Cutter Conn
mittee Defied,

The Memphis ArdynHchc gives this rap
to the 6 brass collar committeeman:
Nearly every Conservative journal in
West Tennessee unites with the Memphis
press i'll urging the postponement of the
Democratic State Convention. Singuarly
enough, the powerful argument for meet
ing in May, urged by the Nashville Union
and Anlcrjc0R is not satisfactory. The In
dustrial Exposition, without doubt, will
be a cheerful entertainment but the faS-
cinatiOns which hedge blue handled plOws,
cider mills and sausage cutters have not
struck the average West Tennessee intel
lect with the full force designed by the
Executive Committee, We doubt if our
State Executive Committee can succeed
very well i'll opposition to the public wish
expressed through the newspapers. Their
success depends upon public endorsement;
and so tar as the present question at issue
is concerned, they will best consult the
political well-being of Tennessee by
deferring the convention. This is West
Tennessee sentiment uttered at the risk
of committee communication.
We all know that each member of this
committee is veritable Colossus, one of
whose feet rest on the lOftiest peak of the
Cumberland. while the other laves in the
pellucid waters of the mighty Mississippi
but that in his oapacious pockets he car
ries the Conservative masses of the State,
is a question still open for debate. If the
august persOnages who think that the ex-
pressed desire to defer the convention is an
insult to republican government and IA
tai blow to the American eagle, will come
to West Tennessee, their views-either of
the people or themselves-may change.
They will discover that if the AVALANCHE
is disorganizer the crop sprung from
the seed it sowed is large enough to be
classed as spontaneous.

Prince Bismarck therefore demands that the
