ports from the country at large, that
the wheat crop of 1873 is a large in.

price than last year, and flour is in

Fan of an AerOmaut.

A terrible fate befell the aeronaut,
Edward La Mountains, during his
balloon ascension on the Fourth of
July at Ionia, Iowa. When fully u
half mile from the earth, and when
the whole structure looked no larger
than hogshead, the balloon slipped
between the ropes and became in
verted. The car and occupant
dropped like a shot with the most
terrific velocity, the unfortunate man
clinging to the basket. His feet first
scruck the ground with a dull, heavy
thud, and lie was instantly crushed
to death by the blow.

The St. Louis Times says: "Of
all the small legislation perpetrated
by the last congress, in the name of
economy, the new law imposing q
tribute upon newspaper exchanges,
is probably the smallest and most I'M
called for, and the leading journals
of the country, in behalf of the weekly
press, if not for their own sakes,
should commence an early and united
agitation for its repeal. The effect of
the law has been not merely to COM
plicate and embarrass the business
of the postoffices, but it has necessi-
tated a general cutting down of ex-
change lists, to the unjust depriva-
ton of many publishers. Nothing
perhaps contributed SO greatly to the
value and utility of the press, as the
unrestricted system that has hitherto
existed, by which its representatives

communication with one another. A
tax upon the freedom of this inter
change is a tax upon one Of the no
blest industries of the age, tending
directly to cripple the extent ofits
influence as medium of news, and
placing embarrassments in the way
of its success. injurious to the public
interests.
"Why measure of this character
should ever have been adopted, is
difficult of comprehension. There
is not single argument to be adj

objections against it, and the new

The MORRISTOWN GAZETTE,
NOW IN ITS
IS ev enth Z ear,

Has been, for six years and half, the most regu-
larly issued county newspaper published in East
Tennessee-having never missed a regular issue
since its estabIishment-and its columns, each
week, have contained LARGE AMOUNT of County,
State and General News of interest to every citizen
of Hamblen, Hawkins, Granger, Cooke and Jeffer-
son Counties, PARTICULARLY; and we appeal
to them to come forward and give the GAZETTE a
more liberal support-give it patronage cOmmen-
surate with ITS MERITS. Aside from the value of
the paper as NEWS DISSEMINATION, it's labors have
been devoted to the interest and advancement of
every enterprise that had for its object the building
up of the material prosperity of this immediate
section. The Farmer and the Mechanic have ever
had, in the GAZETTE a fast friend and staunch
advocate. The Merchant and those engaged in
Commercial pursuits have not been neglected, and
their interests have been carefully watched end
upheld in our columns. In fact, the Proprietors of
the GAZETTE have 1abored assiduously to make the
paper interesting, instructive and of value to all
classes of our people.
Now, we want to improve the GAZETTE; we des-
ire to add to its attractions, and make it still
valuable to its PATRONS wish to give to the peo-

School Books The swindling practice
of charging one dollar and fifty cents for a
book, which, if it was not in use in public
schools, would be well sold for seventy-iive
cents, is attracting the attention of the
public. We subjoin an article from the
Columbus Dispatch, which we were glad
to see, as it called to mind This subject
which will be ventilated at an early day.
The extravaganza in school books is simply
and plainly an outrage on the people, prob
ably not on the part Of the publishers who
get up very cheap books at very dear rates.
A book of very ordinary merit, which sold
ioi fifty cents when being introduced a year
ago, is now in an establishment marked at
one dollar. Such cormorants upon the
educational interests of the city and State
are receiving almost universal condemnation
from people of all classes, both rich and
poor alike. A dollar nd a quarter school
book contains no more typographical labor
than an issue Of the Dispatch, and vet
there is more than n dollar and twenty
cents difference in the price. There is no
sense or reason in such state Of the school
book market. 1t 10 visable monopoly.
if not paIpable fraud. That is an almost
universal opinion.

Surprising as magician lore.
And long as his believers ears.
At nights he'd sit beside the stove
And puff strong and steady blast,
The while each yarn his memory wove,
Was still more foggy than the last.
And we would gat her round to hear
The old man tell of bygone times,
Of miners camp and ragged cheer.
And early comer's jokes ana crimes.
Immense was he in argument
OF logic naught he understood,
But facts with ease he could invent,
And pour them i'll an endless flood,
He agreed with untiring zest,
Defying all to put him out;
And talked, upon the whole, the best,
Of what he knew the least about
When one stubborn truth would bring
He'd meet it with; Young friend OF
mine,
You cannot teach me anything,
For I've been here since forty nine"

When red men tracked him through the

And how, when all seemed safe, there died
By random shot his Indian lass.

FINLAY'S TRANSPLANTED SCALP.
The Danbury Ne,cs contains the follow

l. Z,
Here is something remarkable. A wo-
man in New Haven was recently bereft Of
her scalp idiosyncracies Of shaft and belt.
The doctors saw that, to remove the evil,
they would have to resort to transplanting,
and SO they actually succeeded in getting a
sufficient number of pieces from other
peoples heads to give this unfortunate
woman new scalp. We hope these New
Haven doctors used more discretion than
did Ire who attended man named Finlay,
who met with similar accident in Oriskany
New York, some thirteen years ago. Bits
Of scalp from seventeen persons was Sc
cured by this doctor and adroilly stitched to
the head of Mr.. Finlay. When it was
done, people came from miles TO see Finlay's
head, and Finlay himself, with his checker
board Uranium, was the happest man in
Orskany. But when the capillary glands
got in working order, and the hair com
menced to grow, the top of the mans head
presented the most extraordinary spectacle
on record. The doctor, who was about
half the time in liquor, had consulted ex-
pediency rather than judgm ent, and secured
that scalp without ference to future de,
velopae ents. We never saw anything like
it. Here was tuft of yellow hair, and
to it a bit of black, then flame of red
and little silk and more like tow, with
brown hair and gray hair, and sandy hair,
aud cream colored hair scattered all over
Lis entire skull And what mad man
that Finlay was, and nobody could blame
him. He would stand up against the barn
for an hour alta time and sob and swear
1t was fortunate that the doctor was dead
He went off two weeks before with blue
ague, which is mild sort of disease Fin
lay kept his hair cut short, but that didn't
make any difference. Then he tried dyes.
but they only made matters worse. Then
he Got wig, and thus covered up the de-
formity, but sometimes at church it would
fall off, and the committee on dome. tic
goods, when they came around, stood in
front of Firlay's head for some five m nutes
in rapt delight. Then they Immediately
decided that it was the most ingenious
piece of patch work in the list, and never
discovered the mistake until they attempted
to pin the premium card to it. AT that
Fnlay awoke, and knocked down the
chairman of the Commit and chased the
others out of the building. We hope these
New Haven doctors have been more par
ticular, as it is not subject TO triae with.
