We had the pleasure on yesterday of
meeting Capt. Samu De Almond, who is
now engaged in merchandising and run
ming a hotel, the 'DeLano House," in
conjunction with Mr.. r. w. Weatherly,
where the wants of the travelling public
are carefully looked after.
Hon. Colbert Coldwell, of Navasota,
Texas, passed through the city yesterday.
Judge G. was one of the Supreme Bench OF
Texas before the war. He is one of the
sterling Republicans of that State, and a
cousin of our fellow citizen, Hon. Thomas
II. Coldwell, of Shelbyville.
Mr.. Geo. w. Colbert, of Newport and
Benz. Niblack, Esq, of Youngstown,
Ohio, were in the city yesterday, having
returned from prospective trip through
the mineral lands of upper East Tennessee
and Western North Carolina.
Senator Brownlow, in company with
Col. Jno. b. Brownlow, arrived home on
Sunday night. The Senator was some
what fatigued by the journey from Wash
ington, but is otherwise in his usual
health. His neighbors and host of friends
welcome him home again.
Hon. Horace Maynard and wife who ar
rived from Washington yesterday, after
being absent all winter. We are pleased
to note. that the very arduous
labors of the session of Congress just
closed, have not left their impress up
on his physical system and that he is in
good health.

Robbery M strawberry PInins.

Messrs. Freeland & Betterton's store of
this place was entered last night and robbed
of ready made clothing, hats, boots,
shoes, jewelry, &c. The store was entered
by breaking in one of the front windows.
The goods were torn from the shelves and
scattered in every part of the room, and a
piece of muslin was picked up this morning
a hundred yards east of the store in the
public road. From the way the store was
entered it was evident that it was done by
those well acquainted with its arrange
ment.
Mr.. Freeland, the local partner in the
house has been sick for several days, fact
the thieves doubtless knew. From the
quantity of goods missing there must have
been more than one engaged in the rob
bling. At the present writing Mr.. Free
land is unable to tell the full extent of the
damage, but it is enough to say that it is
the largest as well as the boldest robbery
that has taken place in this community
since the war. This makes the seconod
time this store has been entered and
robbed in the last six months.
| Mr.. Freeland offers n very liberal reward
for the arrest of the thieves. RALPH.

The Lever Cross-CuI Saw.

We have been shown the patent papers
for this valuable invention by MIR. j. Z.
Nelson of Kingston, Tennessee, the inven-
tor and patentee. 1t is certainly most
ingenious pice of mechanism and can not
help but bring a considerable income to
the inventor. This invention supplies a
need that has long been felt by the labor
ing class of the country, particularly by
those who have been compelled to make
use of the old style crOss-cut saw. We
give some of the advantages claimed for it
by the patentee, as follows: 1t is simple,
durable and efficient. One man can saw
as much with this machine as two men
can with the old cross-cut saw and with a
great deal more ease, thus saving 100 per
cent. of labor. The sawyer can sland erect
all the time, avoiding the STOPPING posture
perpetual strain, and excessive fatigue the
old method imposed on twomen. 1t is light
and easily carried from place to place by
Que man. 1t is cheap, costing compare
lively little more than the two-man saws
1t is simble in its construction, and should
any of its parts break or get out of order
any person of ordinary skill can easily re.
pair it. 1t is pre-eminently adapted to al
purposes of cross-cut saving.
There will certainly be a universal de-
mand for these saving machines, because
they save One-half of the labor, and are SC
easily operated by one man that they will
beyond doubt, entirely supercede thu
two-man saw, and the ak also, TO grea
extent 1t is confidently believed that Thu
machine is not susceptible of any improve
ment.
We understand Mr.. Nelson offers thu
entire right for the United States for sal
or manufacture on royalty. His address i
