Gn Wednesday tile 12to inst, the body of an unknown man was found floating in the river just below ''Terry's dam,' so called. It had evidently lain in the wa ter as long as q couple of weeks. The remaIns were placed in a plain wooden box and buried in Thomaston.
 On Thursday the 18th, over two hundred persons from the central and eastern portions of the town went over to ''Compounce" on picnic excursion. The party was designed especially for married people, yet was not wholly comprised of such. They were accompanied by the Terry 7ille Cornet Band, who came over to the Centre at o'clock in the morning, and half an hour later started on their re- turn, towards the place of destination. A very pleasant time is reported.

On Tuesday last the Pastime B. B. c. went to Danbury to play their second game with the Etnas of that place. The game was called about three o'clock, and the Htnas danced around in their red brooches just lively enough to whitewash the Pastimes in the first inning and tally six for themselves. The Pastimes sue ceeded in making tie at the close of the 4th inning, but the end of the 7th inning found the AEtnas leading 19 to 9. In the eighth inning the Pastimes batted finely and scored 8 runs, this made the Danbury boys look little surprised. Consterna- tion, however, took the place of surprise when the close of tho 9th inning showed the totals even, 21 each, another inning left the score tie at 23 At this point Tn the game the Pastimes were obliged to leave the grounds in order to get home and the umpire decided the game in favor of the Htnas 9 to o. The decision looks rather bad, but our boys were satisfied with the score made against the 'sCham- piOns of Fairfield county(Y."

 A queer case of ''kidknapping" has oc- cured in Danbury. The circumstances are as follows::' Adam Caldwell, a resi- dent of New York city, in drunken fit one night last March, jumped from his bed, and, seizing his wife, carried her in- to an adjoining room, where he bound her into chair, and then ran back to the bed, and, taking their daughter Jessie, less than three years old, hurried away from the house. Mrs. Caldwell in the morning, on getting free, started in search of the child. For weeks she wandered about in the vicinity of New York and in New Jersey, finally getting a warrant for the arrest of her husband for abandon ment. At last. hearing that the child was in Miss Bulls school in Danbury, she re paired thither. She gained admission to the. ''home" by pretending she was look ing for place for child. As soon as she saw her child lying in crib she seiz- ed her, and hurried away in carriage to her hotel. She was, however, speedily arrested. and kept till the husband arrived the next evening, when trial was held, which lasted till early morning.
 o. A. G Todd, Esq, appeared for the prosecution and Col. White for the mother. The prosecution maintained that accord to the laws of Connecticut the father was the proper custodian of the child to the exclusion of the mother. The defence demolished this point by insisting that the New York State law awarded the child to the mother, that the father removed the child from its prope, jurisdiction, andhad no legal right to detain or remove it from it's lawful guardian. The Justice decided in favor of the mother who took her child away in triumph in spite of the threats of the father. It isn't a ''proud fact" in this connection, that had the parties been res idents of Connecticut the mother would have been liable to the punishment of 'kidnapper" for rescuing her child.

it is right hard to beat, but think
we have equally as good land and
just as good farmers, and they are
wide awake and manifest great in.
terest in their calling.

three miles above the place we have
one of the best Touring mills in Haw-
kin's county, and connected with it
is one of the best cloth factories in
Upper East Tennessee, and all the
one know of.

without post Office, but she can
boast of one now, since the first OF

towering walls and church steeples
will look down and smile at her pro-
gress.
All kind of trade IS lively in our
town. Butter and eggs bring the
same price as at Morristown.
There is a great deal of talk about

on the Rogersville and Jefferson
