1t is with regret that we announce
the death of w. NJ. Organ, which oc-
cured in this city, at half past nine
o'clock last Sunday night, the 18th
inst. He was gallant soldier during
the late war, having served for four
years with the 49th Tennessee regi-
ment. Since the war he had proved
an able and efficient civil officer, hav-
ing been Deputy under Sheriff Read
for some time and for the past eight
months was Jailer of this county. He
had many warm personal friends who
deeply deplore his death, cut off
as he was in the prime of vigorous
manhood. He leaves wife and six
children to whom we tender our Deep
est sympathy in this bereavement.

WE learn from the Nashville papers
that the display of Photographic art
made by our resident artist, McCor-

in attendance. If any city has an ar

would like to take look at him-ou1
eyesight is failing, and think such a
show would be of advantage to our
vision.

ACcIDENT.-As Mr.. w. NJ. Long
agent of the Singer Sewing Machine
was driving from Third street into
Franklin, his horse become frightened,
and starting suddenly, jerked the lines
from Mr.. Longs hands, entangling
them around his feet A sudden turn
threw him from the wagon, his head
striking first. An ugly but not deep
cash was cut in his forehead, and the
wheels passed over his legs bruising
them slightly. Some gentlemen who
were near seized the horse, thus pre-
venting any serious termination to the
accident, which might otherwise have
occurred, as his feetwerestill entangled
in the lines.

OUR RAILROAD CONNECTIONS.

DEAR CHRONICLE Will you permit
me to make an enquiry through the
columns of your paper, of our worthy
superintendent, Mr.. Meek, as to how
long the present disagreeable arrange
ment of the connections at Guthrie
City will continue. Parties going to,
or coming from, Nashville or Evans
vile, have to wait at Guthrie from four
to six hours, and owing to the lonely
and dismal appearance of the place,
this time is felt to be more than
doubled. IF it is possible that a
change can be made SO as to effect
closer connections than are made at
present, it will be very gratifying to
the travelling public and to this COM
munity.
IF a change can not be made, /
would suggest to some of our livery
stable men to start stage line between
GAINESVILLE and Guthrie City, to make
close connection at the latter place
with trains fer Nashville and Evans
vile. 1t will undoubtedly pay. A
pleasant ride of two hours will land
you at Guthrie, which is more desira-'
BILE than lounging about whisky shops
and frog ponds. Were it not for the
hotel accommodations being good, the
idea of trip to Nashville or Evans
vile via Guthrie would be more an
noying than one to the Vienna Expo
sition. IF anything can be done to ia
cilitate regular connections by rail,
friend Meek, please render your kind
assistance. As your disposition to do
general good is well known, | hope
better arrangements will be effected at
that place. 1@
Yours with respect,
TRAVELLER.

Bayard Taylor writes to the New
York Tribune as follows:
Vienna always was an expensive city
and it now shares in that rage for spec
ulation which has inundated all Ger.
many within the last two years, and is
fast making an honest and comforta-
BILE existance as difficult as in the
United States. The people this yeal
are infected with mania for getting
rich between the LIST ofMay and the 1st
of November. No art, great or small
is left unemployed is the general ma
MIA for emptying the pockets of the
hundreds of thousands of strangers
who are expected. The cheerful and
cordial attention which one used to
find in the hotelsis temporarily lost
while the lack of system, the easy, con-
venient ways of the people, to which
one soon adapts himself in ordinary
times, become a serious difficulty in
these crowded and impatient days.

THE CRops.--We learn that wheat

ne OnOfcs-f w lcdIu tld5 4cdt
generally, is promising in appearance,
though fears are entertained that the
heavy April frosts did mischief that is
not yet developed. The abundant
crop of cut worms has prevented a
good and even stand of corn which,
where undisturbed, presents healthy
and vigorous appearance. In some To-
calities, the fly has occasioned great
scarcity, of tobacco plants which may
interfere with early planting and d.
minish the acreage proposed to be
planted On the south-side of the
Cumberland, we are told that plants
are superabundant, and. in growth, are
in advance of the preparation of the
hills for their reception. The prospect,
on the whole, is fair for good crop of
grains and tobacco.
