were in flames, which. swept across Llurel
street, licking up a wagon and blacksmith
shop, stores, dwellings and the Sun Inn.
Engines from tie neighboring cities were
telegraphed for, and With their aid and by
tearing down some exposed buildings the
fire was confined to two blocks. Blazing
shingles carried by the wind, lighted upon
Webber's building on Ce3tre street, six
blocks away, dividing the attention of the
firemen, but the flames here were soon ex-

other seriously injured escaping from the

Alta meeting Of the Board of Trus.
tees of the GAINESVILLE Female Acade-
my, on the 10Th inst, the following
resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, The Rev. j. B. West, D.
D., has this day formally dissolved his
connection with the GAINESVILLE Female
Academy, we, the Board of Trus-
tees, deem it our duty as it is our sim
cere pleasure to place upon record our
estimate of his services in that connec-
ton.
Entering upon his duties. as Presi-
dent of the Academy, in 1866, at a
time when the disruption of society,
occasioned by the late civil war, was
ominous of ruin to every business
pursuit, by arduous exertions, and a
faithful discharge Of the duties of his
position, he very soon secured large
patronage and placed the Academy in
the front rank of the Female Colleges
in this country.
In DIR. West the Trustees recognise
conscientious Christian gentleman,
whose sterling qualities of head and
heart, and broad charity, have en-
deared him to all classes of our COM
munity. Regarding education as par
amount to all earthly blessings he has
strained every resource of his mind
and purse to extend its great blessings
widely among the people; and we have
reason to believe, has never suffered
any one to leave the institution by
reason of poverty or misfortune. He
thus manifested for those of our people
left in impoverished and straitened
circumstances by the war, warm and
deep sympathy, which challenges the
admiration of all, and the gratitude of
not few. In him we find true man
and noble benefactor and commend
him for his self sacrificing zeal, his
devotion, stern self reliance, and high
Christian principles. Therefore be it
Resolved, Thatin severing our rela
lions with the Rev. Joseph B. West,
D. d., we do so with sincerest friend
ship, and that he carries with him our
warmest sympathies and best wishes,
in whatever may be mis- future sphere
Of action.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
placed upon the records of the Acad-
envy. COMMITTEE.

To BUSINESS MEN.-The CHRoNI
Gle now circulates through all the ad-
jaeent country which, in commercial
point of view, is sought after by our
enterprising business men in every de-
part1nent of trade. As an advertising
medium it presents all the advantages
and facilities afforded by any publica-
ton that has the interest and welfare
of our people at heart. Bear this fact
in mind when you wish to advertise
your wares and merchandise, and also
remember that business man cannot
lose anything by constantly reminding
the people thathe has goods to sell. To
inform buyers where they can obtain
their supplies is an accommodation to
them as well as beneficial to the seller.
The benefits conferred are mutual.
Persistent, judicious advertising al
ways has and will continue to pay, as
the experience of the best business
men in the country fully verifes. Of
course we seek to benefit the press in
what we say, bat selfshness alone does
not prompt us, in carrying out this
mumal benefit accrues to

THE NEW PLOW FACTORY.

Messrs. Meriwether, McReynolds
& Co. raised steam in their new fac
tory Thursday evening last, and will
commence operations Monday next.
Their machinery is not all up yet, and
it will probably be a month before
they commence turning out the COM
pleted plows. The brick work on the
foundry will be completed next week,
and the roof put on the week after,
when they will at once put in the
necessary machinery, etc., and COM
mence casting.
Their arrangements for handling the
timber from the time it is taken from
the lumber shed in the slab, until it
is placed in the storage room a finish
ed pillow, ready for the buyer, are al
most perfect. One engine will run the
entire machinery of factory and found
ry, the main shaft being arranged so
that the bands can be connected with
the machinery in each building. The
capacity of this factory will be about
fifteen thousand plows per year. They
expect to manufacture about five
thousand during the present year.
They also expect to manufacture new
and superior harrow, and probably
other agricultural implements.
This enterprise deserves the support
and encouragement of the people of
our section, and we hope the entire ca
pacity of the factory will be required
to enable the firm to supply the de-
mand. They will use nothing but the
best material, both wood and iron, in
their plows, and purchasers may rely
upon getting an article in every way
equal to any which can be had of any
manufacturer or dealer.

THE business of laying pavements
east of the big pond-"as was"-is
progressing slowly, and as far as COM
pleted, there is a decided improve
ment in the general appearance of the
street-Franklin, we mean, though we
did not write it in the right place. 1t
is fact that real estate is improved
in value, by attention to cleanliness
and outside appearance. But this
mode of enhancing value is not popu-
lar because few want to-sell, and none
desire a higher rate of taxation.

As the market house seems to be
the main point of attraction, in these
dull times, and since those who have
little else to do than to eat, may over
do that, We would repeat our
caution against excess during the
heated term. Cholera still fingers in
the country, awaiting favorable op-
portunity to strike at any weak point.
1t is one of Mr.. Jefferson's maxims
that a man never repents eating too
little, and cholera, or no cholera, the
rule is a good one. The fruits and
melons not eaten to-day, will not be
felt as loss to morrow; and the sense
of security well repays the self-denial.

AMONGST our exchanges of last
week, is the Nashville Journal of Med
icine and Surgery, for August, 1873.
The most important article is from the
pen Of Prof. w. K. Bowling upon
Asiatic cholera, well written and filled
with many facts of practical interest
as well as of general information, such
an article as one would expect from
its distinguished author.
We make only few extracts from
it, but commend its perusal to all
professional and professional:
WHENCE WAS TT"
1--WE believe that no town on the
American continent can originate
cholera. Cholera may become domes-
ticated without losing any of its ma
Lightly" BE this as it may, it comes
70 us now from Asia. Precious little
is known about it.
This we believe true, the discrepan-
cies among the physicians, as to the
cause, nature and treatment of Asiatic
cholera, are enough to convince every
thinking mind that Uery little IS kRO,on
of Asidtic cholera, beyond the fact
that it is fearfully destructive cpl
demic, having first originated at Bonn
bay, India, a province of Asia. Prof.
Bowling says:
1.-The very language employed by the
ancients proves that the idea was IA
miliar to them, of disease coming
down upon a people, like the contents
of PandOra's box, just as we see is
the case with cholera to-day-epi de-
mos upon the people; not from man
to man, but upon"
1.-The disease fell upon them"
Filth and malaria are by the profess
sion regarded as ''localizing causes"
and water as an exciting cause fohere
holding organic matters in solution"
Aslatic cholera is one of the zyHottc
diseases, 1T is known that none of
the deadly pOisons that produce the
whole class of zymotic diseases, is cog
nizable to the senses. Among these
non-cognizable causes of diseases is
that of cholera"
"As to the causes of epidemic chol
era, it is well to remember that it is
not given to man to penetrate the ORR
gin or to know the principle of pesti-
lential diseases" We endorse this
statement to the letter. ''Neverthe-
less, there is no subject upon which so
many thories and vain hypothesis have
been heaped. For ourselves, well sat
isfed of the sterility of such efforts,
we will not seek for the cause Of chol.
era but are content to accept, as a
fact, the pestilential principle itself,
and to refer to this principle the cpl
demic character, the mode of prOpa-
CATION, and the terrible action of the
scourge. "-Tdrdieur's Dictiondire ID

shot until each had missed one bird,
as this left no chance to tie him.

as the bird rose and few out of the
