The EAST TENNESSEE MYsTERY-DEFALCA-
TloS, DISAPPEARANCE, REPORTED MURDER,
AND Discover Ya--An official communication
was received at the United States Secret Ser
vice headquarters by Colonel Whitley yes
tcrdav from Mr.. L. b. Whitney, Govern
ment detective, containing full and later de-
tails in relation to the pension frauds com.
United by Thomas G. Boyd in East Tennes-
see, and furnishing the solution to the mys-
FERROUS disappearance and reported murder
of the delaulter. A long account of Boyd's
exploits appeared in the Herdld of Sunday
last, in which it was mentioned that he had
>windled the Government out of 100000 by
means Of fraudulent pension claims, and had
been murdered after his arrest and release on
bail. according to statements made by
men who said they had witnessed his
death. Doubts were expressed about
his murder, and inquiries showed that ii
was conspiracy designed to aid in bis
escape and also to relieve his bondsmen from
prosecution. Mr.. Whitney, who was sent
to East Tennessee to investigate the frauds,
writes to him to state that Boyd had been
seen alive and apparently well five hours
after the time of his alleged murder. Under
date of September IA. Mr.. Whitney reports
having asccrlained that OH the Saturday
morning after the alleged murder, Boyd, in
company with another man, arrived ut the
residence of Il Mr.. Sloane, who lives near
Benton, Polk county. East Tenn, where
they obtained breakfast. Both parties were
mounted, the horses appearing greatly
fatigued. Mr.. Whitney further states that
the bond>men are thoroughly convinced that
Boyd is alive and that they are making dill
gent search for him to save Themselves

AMHERsT.--The Amherst (Ea.) Enterprise
of Yesterday riycs the following items.

ADMINISTRATIVE Amherst (Va.) Enterprise
of Yesterday gives the following items:
4 Remarkable Spring--On the land of
Thomas Hughes is a bold spring of cold wa
ter. which continually throws out peach
stones in perfect state of preservation.
Bushels OF stones have been cleared away,
and still they come. We have 10 doubt that
many years ago, before the memory OF our
people. there was Il d,stiilery Mt this spring,
and that il now bursts through the MASS OF
stones below the surface and throws them
out. t....-..
We know firSt-rate peach orchard in this
county which grew in the following singular
manner: Mr.. Stcnnett cleared the land, put il
in tobacco, and the third year i'll wheat; and
an orchard Of peaches came up on the land,
and are now growing and bearing. TWAS as
ccrtained that some forty or more years ago
the land was cultivated and All orchard on the
place. and it had grown and when cleared
10y Mr.. Stennctt the land was in second
growth timber.
Gropes.--We understand Mr.. Lucas has
shipped about 5000 pounds Of grapes from
this place, and that he will make 400 gallons
OF wine This is the produce Of less than
four acres. This shows what industry and
talent devoted to one pursuit will do. This
kind of cropping will enable Mr.. Lucas rut
the haauce of his land in grass, Il he 50 de-
| sircs. and raise stock.
Rel,gous.-At Ebenczer series of very
| interesting meetings closed last Tuesday
night They had been conducted by Rev.
Edward Lewis, of Richmond College, who
was called away, leaving no one in charge
The results of the meetings were five con-
yri >ion> and several pcntcntS.
ffuc Stock.-Mr. W. j. Ruckcr exhibited
OH court day couple of thoroughbred
cattle OF the short-horn durham breed. Tho
ycarling bull was especially fine, weighing
between 200 and 500 pounds at the age Of
seventeen months.
Tobacco-Mir. j. A. HiSginbotham sold
| one lot of tobacco on "Wednesday for $50 pei

PRorosgD DISSOLUTION or THE CRFDrT-Mo-
BlLiER.-The Philadelphia Erening Telegraph
has the following reference to a corporation
which has recently become famous again:
at noon Yesterday a meeting of parties con.
ccrned I'm the Credit-MohiIier Of America was
called at the office of Commissioner j.
Vaughan Darling, No. 4lg Walnut street,
for the purpose of taking action on petit
ton coming from that organization itself,
asking permission to surrender IFS charter.
and for dissolution of the corporation. The
origin Of the Credit Mobiiier Of America
was In this wise: In 1855 Mr.. Duff Green,
OF Texas. organized a company Of capitalists
on the plan of the French Credit-Molilier.
and obtained a charter from the state OF
Pennsylrania, under the title Of The "Pcnn-
sylrania Fiscal Agency" Among the origi-
nal corpois'tors were Ex-Governor David
K. Porter, Robert j. Ross. William +.
DouShcrty, Henry n. Fuller, ex-Chief
Justice Ellis Lewis. Asa Packer, Jesse La
Zcar. &. l.. Ward, Jacob Ieigler, and Charles
ii. Hall. The capitaI was fixed ut s., DOC, 900,
and the corporation was authorized to pur-
chase and sell railroad bonds and other sectI-
rites, to make advances to railroad comTa-
MES, and to transact other similar business.
Before the fiscal agency got fairly into ope-
ration the rebellion broke out, and the az
fairs OF the company fell into some confusion.
The controlling power passed into other
hands, and in short time the fiscal agency
bloOmed forth in New York us the Credit
Alobilier of America by which institution
the Union Pacific railroad WAS principally
constructed, under contracts with the com.
panv. y 49,. IT,. a.,
At the meeting yesterday the parties in
tcrested in the dissolution of the Mobiier
Company were represented by counsel, aud
Commissioner Darling heard the arguments
and testimony in relation TO the surrender of
the charter pro and con. The meetings arc
private, and will be continued for some time,

in% items:
ChcfSe.--We have in Southwestern Vir.

there may he others. The two we refer to
a,e those Of Mr.. George W. Palmer, Salt.
vile. and Dir. L. i. Snapp. of this county, III
Burk's Garden. T&zcWcll county.
Mr.. Palmer has already manufactured 49,

will have upon the market $4,000 pounds
| the product of this wear. We are not in.
! formed OF the product of Mr.. Snaps dairy,
but it is large.
The manufacture of these dairics is equal
to the best Cheshire.

Esd, is erecting at his own expense very
handsome church about etmi-distunt from
| the hotel and office at Satvie-siZc 33xG0-

the plan we saw, we judge the building will
present fine appearance.

Every year increases the popu-
larity of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, which is due to merit
alone. We can assure our old
patrons that it is kept fully up to
its high standard; and it is the on
ly reliable and perfected prepara-
ton for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making
it soft, lustrous, and silken. The
scalp, by its use, becomes white and
clean. 1t removes all eruptions and
dandruff, and, by its tonic proper
ties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the
hair grows thicker and stronger.
In badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever
used, as it requires fewer applica-
tions, and gives the hair a splendid
glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes,
Md, State Assayer of Massachu-
sets, says, "The constituents are
pure, and carefully selected for ex-
cellent quality; and 1 consider it
the BEST PREPARATION for its
intended purposes"

gloss and freshness of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandrulf, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.
