SPRING HILL ITEMS.

MI, Thomas Ii. Bond, whose fine res
idence was recently burned, by the |
torch of the incendiary, has sold his
splendid farm to Mr.. Saml A. POINTER |
for twenty-seven thousand dollars, Le-
ing about 500 dollars per acre. 1t is un,
derstood that Mr.. Pointer has purchased |
the place, for his son-in-law, Mr.. sam. |
p. Cannon, who is a grandson OF the |
late Gov. Cannon, and young man, |
in every way, worthy of his noble |
blood and lineage. Mr.. Bond VIII not |
leave the county, but expects to SETTLE
in or near Franklin, so as to be conYen,
lent to good schools and thus, avoid
the necessity of sending his children OIL
and boarding them away from home.
Some of the young people of our town
and vicinity, had a picnic at cages
Springs, on last Saturday. 1t seemed 10
be happy day to all
The spot is reached, when all e1claim'
With many joyous a1tlG,
"HoW sweet a scene L IN glau CAME
How rural, how romantic.
And really to these young hearts, for
they were all of the new issue, and full
of love and enthusiasm, the day was full
of ioy-and the scenery those green
hills, towering up like miniature
mountains, the groves of grand old for
est-trees, the clear brooks ripping over
fragments of slate rock, the gentle
breezeS, birds and blossoms, all con-
tinued to awaken and enkindle in the
youthful hearts OF these maidens and
their beaux, the first thought of love
and marriage,
A full turn out of the congregation,
greeted the Rev. VIM. Gray, at the
Presbyterian church on last Sabbath.
His sermon was plain, practical and
forcible, and well calculated to awaken
reflection and action in the minds and
hearts OF his hearers. Mr.. Gray is
man of intellect and learning, passion
ately fond of flowers and of the rare beau@
ties of nature, and shows in his appear
| ance, words and actions, that he belongs to
| the Old Dominion. We hope to have a
/ sermon from him, at ogr approaching
| Quarterly Meeting, which embraces
| SATURDAY. and Sabbath next. The Rev S
| VIM. Doss and r. G. Irvine, and perhaps
| other ministers will be present,
| Col. NJ. T. Chaires, has gone to Bon
| Aqua to spend few weeks, for the ben
| eft of his health and if his leg, which has
suffered so severely of late with erysip~
elias, does not let DOM, he will bei GER
| tain to catch as many fish as any other
| visitor to the Springs.
| Mrs, f, A. Thompson, tho most esti-
mable wife ofthe FORMER pastor of the
PRESBYTERIAN Church in this place, has
been quite sick recently, and although
| her health is somewhat improved, she
is vet far from being well. The prayers
of all this community and especially the
moor. to whom she has eyer been the
best of friends, will ever be that hel
precious life may long be preserved;
Where ere a tear was driedI a wounded hear
| Bound up: bruised spirit with the dew
| Ofsympathy anointed; or a pang
| OF honest suffering soothed; or injury
| Repeated oft, as oft. by love forgiven;
THere, is she ever foremost in charity and love
