Mr. Cobleigh Looses his suspenders.


NAoAl hit DuftOHy -fc0S-
We are a particular people. When we
place anything down we want to find it.
We are very particular about this. And
when we do not place anything just there,
we expect to find it there just the same.
And more so. Mr.. Cobleigh took bath
Sunday morning. On coming from the
water refreshed and strengthened, he put
on his pants, and drew the suspenders
over his bare shoulders, and taking his
soiled clothing in his arms adjourned to
the bedroom. Here he deliberately put
his undershirt and fine linen over the sus-
penders, and deliberately loosened those
articles while he tucked in those garments.
Then he looked for his suspenders. He
carefully placed them on a chair, you
know-that chair right at the foot of the
bed, and he looked there for them, as it
was perfectly reasonable be should. They
were not there, however. Mr.. Cobleigh
was surprised. He stared very hard at
the chair, and tried manfully to keep down
the rising temper Then he looked in
every corner of the room, and got down
on his knees, and peered under the bed,
and even looked up at the ceiling, and out
of the window. He examined these local
tiles not because he expected to find the
article there, but Mr.. Cobleigh wished to
show the world that there was no inten-
ton on his part to be unfair in this mat
ter. He had left those suspenders on the
chair, and as they were not gifted with
legs, some one had removed them. Mr..
Cobleigh was so confident of this that he
deemed it prudent to strike the stand with
his fist, and tell what ought to be done to
the party who took the suspenders. This
he did, and then called his wife. She
came up at once. Mr.. Cobleigh very
briefly related the loss, because he hadn't
time to talk much, and then proceeded 10
talk about nothing else Mrs Cobleigh
carefully searched the chair while Mr..
Cobleigh stood by and grated his teeth.
Then she carefully searched the room,
which SO exasperated him, as he had al
ready made the search, and had left the
suspenders on the chair, that he tartly in
quired if she supposed he had hidden the
articles. This led her to explain that she
believed he had left them somewhere else.
Do you think I'd lie about pair of sus-
penders ?" gasped he, as the awful suspi-
cion flashed upon him. Mrs. Cobleigh
was not prepared to back up this PROPOSE
ton; perhaps she did not consider it at
all, but she was confident they had been
mislaid, and said so, while Mr.. Cobleigh,
holding up his garments, danced around
in a very furious manner Finally com
promise was made with two strips of
wooden cloth, with holes at the ends, and
the Cobleighs went to church in no very
happy state of mind. At night, when
Mr.. Cobleigh retired, and drew off his
upper wardrobe for that purpose, vehe-
ment exclamation attracted the attention
Of Mrs. Cobleigh, who, looking around,
Deheld a sheepish looking man trying to
lisengage pair of suspenders from under
l tight fitting undershirt. Well, 1 de-
,lare," commenced that lady, e."
Will you just shut up. and go to bed ?"

Knox County Crop Items.

CHURCH GROVE, KNOX Co., Tenn,
May 3, 1873.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: The wheat and
oat crops are very promising at this time
in this (the 5th) sdistrict Three weeks
ago our wheat fields appeared almost bare !;
now they are gloriously green.
Generally speaking the farmers are done
planting corn, and few are blowing it
over the first time.
So far as have been able to ascertain,
all the peaches were killed by the frost
that is, in Beaver Creek Valley, but on
Copper Ridge only slight, if any, damage
was done to this fruit. 1t is remarkable
fact that peach trees growing on the top of
this ridge entirely escaped damage. Cher
ries are killed in the valley, but learn
that the damage to apples was less serious.
The frost was not quite heavy enough to
hurt the young corn. ...
Copper Ridge is flooded with squirrels
this spring, and our sportsmen have rare
fun shooting them, IT'S said that it is no
hard job for hunter and dog to bring
down q dozen or so of these little animals
in half an hour any morning or evening.
They appear to have abandoned the neigh
boring vallies and gone to the ridge, prob
ably because they think the ridge people
too poor to buy ammunition,
Mr., Levi George has just completed
circular saw, with out-and-out cast works,
and can easily cut from 800 to 900 feet of
lumber per hour. Mr.. George is one of
our most enterprising citizens, and we
hope he will be amply rewarded for the
heavy outlay he has sustained in this most
desirable undertaking. More anon.

WATER WORKS.
Facts About ube Holly svs,om

In reply to inquiries made by us of the
city authorities of Canton, Ohio, as to the
success or their Holly System of water
works, they send us the report of the chief
engineer of their water works which cost
them but 100000, water brought two
miles from a lake. He says of the system !:
The Holly machinery in use here il
equal to any heretofore built by them. and
was promptly delivered and put in work
ing order, long before we were ready to use
II; compliments are unnecessary Ii is the
system for general use, and will be the
popular plan. AT the time / reported to
your City Council in favor of its introduc-
ton here, it was publicly printed i'm papers
in this State, that mo Engineer of any
ability would endorse that system.u +
took the risk, knowing the principle was
right, and can not now point to the cities
OF Dayton and Columbus, Ohio; Indian
apolls and Connersville, Ind: and Cow
lngton, KY; which are under contract for
the Holly machinery. Some thirty sets of
different sizes have been built or are under
contract, and the experience of every place
using them is, that they are a perfect sue
cess
The Holly engines were put on this con-
tract, tnat the water engines should be
capable of throwing 1000 600 gal-
Ions in twenty-four hours-that With
ten feet head on the turbine wheels, the
engines should throw three Simultaneous
one-inch streams eighty feet high through
hose attached to hydrants 5000 feet dis
tant from the works, the machinery to
cost 81, l46 when set up in the engine
house."
These engines have performed their
work. Such powerful pumps would sun
ply us with water all over the city at the
cost of the engines and pipes. Our CITY
Council should at least make full inyestf-
CATION into the merits of this system.

The frost on the 26th of April did not
DO so much damage at last. The late rains
have made everything look fresh and
growing. The peachers on low lands were
totally killed by the frost, and on high land
much injury was done. The apples are all
right yet, excepting slight injury on low
lands. The leaves on the forest trees on
low lands were badly damaged, but since
the late rains they have gaineda new dress
of nice green foliage.
