Local Affairs.

MOVING DAY.-The general moving day
in this part of the State, March 25th, is
rapidly approaching; already, numerous
teams laden with household goods are pass.
ing through our streets. To adisinterested
observer, there is something extremely lu-
dicrous in these moving professions. Just
imagine a mule team, driven by a very
grave looking individual, evidently feeling
the weight of the responsibility resting up
on him, glancing back occasionally to en-
sure himself of the safety of the hetero-
genous mass in the wagon, chairs, tables,
losking-glasses, etc, apparently flung to-
gether. Close behind, and tied to the wag-
on, we see COW following with an express
sion which says, 81 wouldn't if l could
help it."
Then comes another wagon, carefully
loaded with wood. Perhaps the "movers"
have come from great distance, and we
often wonder what is the idea of taking
such good care of few sticks of wood.
The looking glasses may crack, dishes
NAV break, and various mishaps occur but
still the wood must be carefully attended
to. The cost of transporting it from one
place to another is evidently not thought of.
The amount paid for team for one OF two
days would probably be more than the
worth of the amount of wood to be moved.
Among the farmers in the vicinity OF
Bridgeton, moving is of rare occurrence,
but when they do move, they make regu-
lar holiday of it. Such extensive prepara-
tions as are made! The chief sufferers on
on the occasion are the chickens. All dig
nity is set aside on the occasion. The la
dies think nothing of riding through town
in an open wagon at such times, who on
other days would decidedly prefer walk
ing.
In Bridgeton, considering the population,
there is. but comparatively little moving. as
SO many own their own homes; yet there is
sufficient to create decided stir, and vast
amount of amusement for lookers-on. Who
but one who has experienced it, can do JUS
tice to the subject of a rainy moving day.
Visions on muddy floors, spoiled carpets,
etc rushes through the mind of the already
tired housewife, as she awakens on the
morning of the 25th, and hears the patter,
patter on the roof. Surely, such state OF
affairs is not conducive to a pleasant frame
of mind; impatience shows itself; and
work lags.

HICKMAN COUNTY ITEMS.

On the night of the Gath ult., there was
quite heavy frost in Hickman county, which
destroyed the beans and other tender vegeta-
ton. 1t has been unusually dry in Hickman
and the lands adjacent TO the river are becom-
ing so hard that it is almost impossible to
break them up, consequently farmers seem to
be considerably discouraged.
Capt. Barns, of the we'll known firm OF
Barns & Co, College street, Nashville, has
been spending few day with US, and last
Monday week wendell his way, with others,
to the banks of Swan creek, properly armed
with all the necessary tackle for landing the
finny tribe. On the following Wednesday
evening they returned, being forced to
abandon the fish from the sudden and unex-
pected cold snap. They reported the first day
only twelve trout, having commenced late in
the day. The second day they caught twenty
seven, aLd on the third day it being quite
cold they only caught about twenty. Major
Douglass, of Franklin, Joined the party on the
mouth of Blue Buck creek, black perch, or
google eye, that weighed two and a half
pounds, The Major has done the most of his
fishing hel etofore in Harpeth river, aud per-
haps that may account for the seeming great
size of the fish he caught in Swan.
The fsbRg in our streams becomes poorer
every yeaPin consequence of the very rapid
formation of sand bars from the hills and
small streams, and in few more years we
fear the pleasure of trout fishing will be denied
to us ali.
Last week Mr. John Brown caught on Tues
dav, cat fish that weighed thirty four pounds,
and on Wednesday he caught two others, on
weighing thirty-one pounds, the other fifty
four pounds, in all, one hundred and nineteen
pounds. That beats the Rev. NJ. Irwin, of
Santa Fe.

The Exposition.

We are indebted to Mr.. r. A. Camp
hell of Nashville, for a complimentary
ticket to the Exposition which COM
menced theresyesterday. The one last
wear was far superior to that of the pre-
yiOus. and the present one will, in mag
nificent and extensiveness, eclipse any
of the past. The Secretary has informed
us that twice as many articles have been
entered this year, as were on exhibition
last year at any time during the month
of exhibition. The Hall has been much
enlarged and improved. 4 special de-
partment has been erected for the dis
play of heavy machinery. Among the
additional features this year will be two
magnificent cascades, one representing
a scene in the Arctic regions, and the
other such an one as is often seen in our
mountain countTy-the cliffs overhung
with tapping trees, in full foliage, and
rocks. rising tier after tier, with moss
and running vines, presenting a scene on
which the eye can feast for hours
At the north end OF the original build
ing. the platform occupied by the band
at the first Exposition has been con-
verified into most enchanting scene, and
one which reflects the greatest credit
upon the artist in charge. At first
glance, we feel as if approaching beau
tifnl valley, lined in front view by trees
that age has made venerable to the sight,
and whose BEAUTIFULLY arched bougbS and
thick foliage picture retreat of the
most inviting appearance. Then be-
yond this picturesque spot is the river
sparkling with su2beans, the bridge in
the distance, the fencing around meadows
green, the country road, and other OBJ
iects which 60 to show the exquisite
taste of the artist in his combinations OF
art and nature,
On the West side of the old building is
beautiful moonlight scene, which for
grandeur aud effect is only equalled by
the one already described. immediately
opposite is a view of Niagara Falls
taken from the American side, where
the bridge crosses from Goat Island to the
tower, and the barren Canadian hills in
the distance. These and other views
now being put up will be attractive to
all visitors.
Another new feature this year will be
the Art gallery, building erected for
the purpose of containing the fine paint
ings that have been contributed. Not
withstandlng the spacious dimensions OF
the Art gallery, the managers are afraid
that it will not be sufficient to accommo-
date the articles already entel ed. The
pyrotechnic display this year will be in
side of the enclosure, and adjoining the
horticultural and floral garden.
Columbia will be certain to send her
daily delegations in large numbers.

We understand that the Baptist pro-
tracted meeting, to be held with the
Baptist church in this city, will com
mence on the third Sabbath in this
month. Rev. ". o. Bailey, the pastor.
will be assisted by Rev. G. W. Critic.
d. D., of Gallatin, Tenn. DIR. Griffin is
an able and forcible preacher, with a
clear and logical style. He was pastor
of the Baptist church here in 1858, it be-
ing his first pastoral charge, as be had
just finished his Co llegiate course in
Virginia, the year before. He then be
came pastor successfully of the churches
in Knoxville, Lebanon and Gallatin.
Union University at Murfreesboro,
recognizing his ability as a preacher
and his acumen as Biblical scholar and
critic, conferred upon him the decree OF
Divinitatis Doctor at its last annual
commencement. DIR. Griffin has many
warm friends in this place, and it is
hoped that the meeting referred to will
be successful IN greatly strengthing and

would urge our citizrns and the pubic
