Good Hotels.

Everybody says that the Nashville
Exposition 10 ''great success" and
there is no exagg eration in the words.
1t is great success, and nothing has
contributed to this end so much as the
two excellent hotels of Nashville, the
b .ttle House and the Maxwell House.
Without these the Exposition would
have been an impossibility, Though
crowded to overlooking, these excellent
houses have not failed to furnish splen-
did fare, such as is found almost alone
in the blue grass regions of Middle
Tennessee. Long may the sublime and
genial presence of General Battle be at
his hotel to welcome his army of friends,
scattered all over Middle Tennessee
The people of Tennessee owe a debt of
gratitude to Col. John Overton for
building one of the very best hotels in
the United States. and placing Mr.. Kean
in command of it, who is one of the
best hotel keepers in the broad land.
The clerks are thorough gentlemen, Mr..
White, presiding genius in the dining
room, is superior to any we have ever
seen; and the same may be said of the
clerks oftbe Battle House, one of whom,
Mr.. VIM. Cant, is native of Spring
Hill, in this county.

PRESBYTERIAN Choir Reception.

The last Presbyterian Choir reception
took place on Thursday night of last
week. at the residence of Mrs. Judge
Frierson. The night was rainy and
threatening, but quito a large crowd
were present. The exercises were open
ed with harp and piano, followed by
several vocal duets, and closed with a
beautiful dialogue from "Bitter Sweet"
and the song OF "o'd Hundred" by a
large choir. The music was all good
and the reading excellent. Ladies are
better readers than men, because their
voices are musical, and in the present
instance, the exquisite words of Doctor
Holland could not have found more
perfect utterance or fuller meaning.
The young ladies present are reniarka-

Field Trial.

The committee appointed by the Far

of the trial of reapers and mowers,
have decided on Saturday, the Sth OF
June for the trial. The place of trial
has not been fully determined. L. ID.
Myers, Esq, has kindly rendered his
meadow for the tcial of mowers, but
has no grain for testing the reapers. 1t
Is doubtful whether the committee can
succeed in finding grain and grass, for
the trial, near enough to each other.
Since the above was in type the com

which if ripe, he will allow them to

The most attractive feature at the

study and experience as those exhibited
by Miss Norwood. one of the teachers at
