SOMETHING ELEGANT.-If there is any,
thIag In cxternals, and who will pretend
TO say that there is not, the proprietors Of
the Weed Sewing Machine, Will undoubt-
eddy have monopoly OF the business in
this city. Their salesroom on Main street
has been fitted up in the most elegant style.
The carpets are the finest Brussels, and the
mattings, odgings, etc, are all harmonious
in color and design The furniture Of the
room IS OF the finest and most approved
pattern, and everything betokens taste and
careful selection. 1t is unnecessary for
us in this connection 20 say more Of the
Weed Machine, thaa, that the proprietors,
Messrs. Hamilton s Co., think it proper
that the best machine IN the city should
be kept for exhibition in the finest sales
rolms in the city. This is appropriate cer-
tainly, and al those who wish to see some
thing very far iu advance Of anything in
the Sewing Machine busIness:yet attempt
ed in Jackson, would do well 10 look in at

THE AsYLUM.-The Commissioners APP
pointed by Gov. Brown 10 locate the In
sane Asylum for West Tennessee, met on
Tuesday and located the same at Hum
boIdt Their action only awaits the APP
proyal Of the Governor 10 become final.
No one in Madison caunty will be at all
surprised at the result. jackson and Mad
ison county were evidently prejudged from
the beginning. Gov. Brown in appointing
the Commissioners, whether intentional on
his part or not, stocked the cards efrectual
ly against Madison, or any other county in
this congressional district. The time and
money spent by the Commissioners in
travelling around through the several COM
pcting counties, looking at. sites, was alto
gether unnecessary. They might as well
have met when first appointed and selected
Humboldt without further expense TO the
State. However, we congratulate our
neighbor on her good fortune, and hope she
may reap from her investment oil the fruit
anticipated.

tised by this gentleman, have been post

S. is a poet OF admitted genius, and as
reader has few equals and no superior.
There is none Of the rant, none Of the tear
ing Of a passion 10 tatters, that is so CON-
mon, but he is perfectly natural, perfectly
easy upon the stage, and this charm super
added to the intrinsic merit OF his poems
makes his recitations exceedingly attractive.
We hope that our friends will bear this no.
tice IN mind. and give Maj. 5. a generous
welcome. Tickets 50 cents. No additional
charge for reserved seats.

SINGING BIRDS. - We hope that the
police will report all persons who
violate the ordinance framed for
the protection of the singing birds.
We understand that boys are in the habit
of killing these birds with guns, slung-
shots, etc. This is not mere wantopness,
but is positive cruelty and should not be
allowed. The flower gardens of Jackson
and the mocking birds are noticeable fea-
lures Of the city.

EASTER SUNDAY This day, the most
august perhaps in all the Christian year,
which is celebrated with scarcely less pomp
than the day Of the Nativity, was eelebra-
ted in the Catholic and Episcopal churches
OF this city with unusual feryor and inter-
est. The season of the year permitted
fine floral display about the font and the
chanccls, and the attendance was in keep
ing with the dignity OF what has been aptly
called the Queen Of tic Festivals The
word Easter is said to be derived from the
Saxon word oster, which means to rise.
The following rules have been laid down
for the computation of the day, in order
that its observance may be uniform
throughout the world. The 2ist day of
March is accounted the Vernal equinox, and
the first full moon that happens on that day
or thereafter, is to be accounted the full
moon Of Nissan, and the Lords day next
following that fun moon is Easter day. II
the full moon happen on Sunday, Easter Is
the Sunday following. The late festival
seems to have been celebrated with great
ceremony in all parts of the United States,
and the city papers during the past week
were filed with minute accounts Of the
observances, of the origin of these observ-
ances, and interesting historical facts coz
nected with them.

/ FsRMING.-An old citizen OF the
county whose opportunities for careful
observation are frequent, owing tc
the business in which heis engaged
assures US that there is more land
in grass, oats, and wheat, in Madison
county than ever before. He also state:
that there is more labor being performed
on the farms, and that there are gratifying
evidences Of thrift and improvement every
where. We arc inclined to attribute the
facts stated to the teachings and influence
Of the Changers. For nearly year the
farmers have been meeting together for the
purpose OF interchanging views, and tn,
results are becoming manifest. If we un
derstand the objects OF the Changers theJ
mainly seek to inculeate the necessity for
change in the old system of cropping, anC
for thrift and economy in living. They
seem fully impressed with the belief tha
we raise too little food for man and beast
and that there must be a change beloru
there can be any real prosperity among III
farmer class. II the organization can DIFF
fuse this idea through the country it viii
have performed a great work even if
were to disband tomorrow and neye
reorganizc sgain.
