Union Presbytery Of the Presbyterian Church
of America, held its regular session at Straw
berry Plains, commencing on Thursday even
ing of last week. The opening sermon was
preached by Rev VI. GrifIis the retiring Mode
rator.
The Presbytery organized by the election of
Rev. w. ii. Lyle, of Jefferson county, Mode
rator, and Rev j. III. Martin, SECRETARY.
There was n sermon on Friday by Rev. n.
Bachman, of this city The business of the
Presbytery was transacted on Friday, and moth
ing remained Saturday morning but TO hear the
reports of standing committees. Tho proceed
ings were characterized by true Christian har-
mony. The reports from all parts of the work
were of the most encouraging character Har-
mony prevails everywhere, and tho church
seems TO be fully alive to its great mission.
The sermon on Friday evening was by Rev
j. N. Sawtell. On Saturday morning Rev. Jas
g. Mason, of Jonesboro', preached the dedica-
tory sermon in the new and beautiful church
erected there, in his usual acceptable. style,
There is quito n history connected with this
church. During the war, Il splendid frame
church was torn down. Another was erected
and was some time ago destroyed by FIRE. Now
another has gone up on the ashes of the former,
and is more beautiful still. Better than all, it
is free from debt. Mr.. Meek, who lives near
by, has been for long time devoted member
of the church, and it is to his energy as well rs
others of the ss.oc charge that the credit is due
for the completion of these various edifces.
We understand that this makes the fourth
church erected on the same ground
The following delegates were chosen TO re-
present this Presbytery in the General Assem-
bly, of the Church at Detroit, Michigan, on the

CON MERClAL.


KNOXVILLE, TENN. April 80, 1872
Transactions of the past week in produce
have been confined to the supply of local wants
There were no shipments South, except three or
four car loads of hay The stock of corn and
flour is larger now than at any former period
this season, and the tendency TO lower prices
decided, especially on -four. It is now ascer-
tanned that we have an abundant supply for the
home trade, and perhaps some to spare. Bacon
and Lard move slowly, the trade being confined
exclusively TO home wants. The warm, dry
weather is favorable to the growing wheat. An
early harvest and abundant yield is confidently
anticipated.

This is an irritation or inflammation Of the
bronchial tubes, which carry the air we breathe
into the lungs. 1t arises from cold settled in
the throat, from Catsrrh extending TO these
parts, from scrsfulous affections and from severe
use Of the voice. The irritation from this latter
cause commences in the laTynr and glottis,
which are the organs of the voice. and extend
ing downwards, produces hoarsen0ss. coughing
and splitting mucous matter, sometimes mixed
with blood. 1t is chiefly dangerous from its
tendency TO spread into the lungs, and termin-
ate in consumption. 1t is in the cure of severe
and obstinate cases of this disease that Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has acniev-
ed unparalleled success and won the loudest
praise from all who have used it. 1t is sold by

The prospect for wheat in this section is very
fine, and in fact in all portions of the State, it
it was never better. Everything bids fair for a
bountful and very carly wheat harvest We
know of nothing that would benefit the country
much as plentiful wheat harvest. 1t win
not only put plenty of money in the farmers
pocket, but it will financially relieve business
throughout the country.
In n little trip up the road the other day, the
wheat fields looked fine, and one very pleasing
fact we noticed the utter absence of briars in
tn fence corners, which were us clean as lawn.
A good deal of land has been prepared for corn,
and altogether the prospects are cheering.
