step grew weaker, and his voice fainter. The
room he liked best was Helen's morning

Foul MURDER.-An atrocious muir
der was committed short time since,
near Jordan's Springs, in this county,
by a negro preacher named Richard
Hayward. Our informant states that
it was supposed that Hayward had
tired of his wife and taken up with a
mulatto girl from this place. He muir
dered his wife aud placed her in the
garden, stripped and partially covered.
The flesh had been eaten from her
arms and head by dogs, and her skull
was fractured by heavy blow. He
was preparing to place the remains in
a ditch, but the negroes of the neigh
borhood were watching him and he
left before he completed his work of
burial. Upon inquiries being made as
to the whereabouts of his wife, he
stated that she went to Kentucky, had
died and was buried. When he found
that the true state of things was about
to come light he left and is still at
large 1t is to be hoped that this Rev.
rascal may be speedily brought to JUS
ticc.

In MEMORIAM.

It was moved at Tarsus Sabbath School,
Aug. "a, and committee appointed by the
superintendent, W. n. Fessy, to draft reso-
buttons expressive of the deep and heart
felt sorrow of the superintendent, teachers
and pupils in the loss they have sustained
by the death of little SALLIE, daughter of
Capt. Wm S. and Mamie Martin, who de-
parted this life Aug. Is, 1873, aged Z years.
Resolved, That while we bow with hum
BILE submission to the will of Almighty
God, Who has removed this lovely child
from world of trouble, to home where
ish fondly her memory. May we be pa
tent in afflictiOn as she was patient, and
tranquil and triumphant as she was in the
final hour.
Resolved, That in the death of little Sal
lie this school has lost one of its brightest
ornaments. Always modest, obliging and
unassuming to her teachers and classmates,
she had become endeared in the hearts of
all. But alas iher prattling voice is hushed,
her active pulse is stilled, for death has
stretched forth his remorseless hand, and
folded to his cold embrace thisone so beau
tiful, SO young, so devotedly loved.
Resolved, That the coincidence and pray
ers of this Sabbath School are hereby affec-
tionately rendered in behalf OF her afflicted
may they feel assured that their loss Is her
eternal gain ; remembering
"The young, the beautiful, the fair.
Must cross that valley dark,
1t matters not how full of life
Death loves a shining mark.
Though youth be full of health and
And cheerful as the lark, strength
Yet death is in the midst of life
He loves shining mark"
Resolved, That a copy of these resolu-
lions be spread upon the minutes of Tarsus
Sabbath School, and one be sent TO her be-
reaved parents, the GAINESVILLE CHRONICLE
and the Nashville Christian Advocate.

For the Chronicle.
TO THE ssBEAR OF FINLY PLACE.

As the early mornings rosy CLEAN,
When birds are on the wing,
And nature sings her matin hymn
And flowers their incense fling,
Then, in that hour OF peace and joy,
When dew drops gllsten on the lea.
The past comes back with magic power
And wakes thought of thee.
And like some lone, neglected harp,
Der which the south wind blows,
It touches all my spirits chords
And through it sweetest music flows;
1t makes strain of all the joys
That have forever gone from me,
And with those recollection's come
Some cherished thoughts of thee.
Ever, in memory's mystic hour,
The moon peeps through her silver veil
And lends the magic of her power
To beautify both hill and dale.
Then, though The mellow dreamy light,
Come friends that are most dear 10 me,
And shining, mid those faces bright,
Your own Is ever sure to be.

One of our subscribers on the

tended a birthday dinner on the 18th
inst, at the residence Of Mr.. James
Ellis, near Smiths old church, at
which the young ladies and gentlemen
enjoyed a most agreeable past-time.
Lambs and shoats were barbecued in
elegant style, and in addition to the
usual condiments, were spiced with
mirth and true rural sport in partak-
ing of his choice viands. There was
also, tobacco cutting, in which the
young men took a hand, and were not
long in having the weed" ready for
the scaffold. Such neighborhood gath
erings, should be more frequent as
nothing tends to cement the social ties
of friendship more than getting togeth-
er occasionally, and participating in
the good cheer and pleasure afforded by
a day devoted to recreation and neigh
borly greeting. We are sorry to see
the custom of sending a neighbor a
quarter of lamb or shOat, when one is
killed for family eating, dispensed with
We desire much to see a return of old
time manners and customs in these
things.
