About IL o'clodk Friday morning
last, the boarding house of d. R. Viii
liams, I26 Mort High street, was
thrown into the greatest excitement,
by the report that E. e. Williams

w. A. Hoskins, now of Chattanooga,
Ca, but late of Danville, KY, for a
few thousand dollars purchased tract
containing rich beds. iron ore, which
he has sold to u company for 100000.
The same company desired an adjoin-
ing tract which Mr. H. Purchased for
$4,000, and turned it over for 100000.
1t was done in day, thus making in
one day S55, 600 Since then he has
purchased for $25, 900 bit of land on
the side of Lookout Mountain, thirty
miles long by one mile wide, contain
ing inexhaustible beds of the finest
ore in the world For this tract an
English company has offered him one
million of dollars, which he refused.
1t is held at a million and a quarter.
In addition to all this, Col Hoskins
is the owner Of coal mines in Eastern
Kentucky that will yield him a large
fortune. It is said that Col. Hoskins
made the discovery of these lands and
their value during the war, while at the

and useful books cannot b. too earnest
" pressed upon the attention Of the
Young. The love and habit OF reading
once acquired will always be 1 source
of incalculablc pleasure, rs well rs u
preventive Of many evils. They afford
a high refined pleasure which physical
eniovments Gtil to give. As tic mind
is superior to the body, SO its pleasures
must be superior TO those Of the body.
This habit, like Ill other habits, is 1orn-
cd by prat attice, and the capacity for en-
iovment increases with the practice.
unlike physical enjoymcnts which tend
to lessen the power to enjoy. We have
spoken simply of the pleasure it taiforcs.
We say nothing of that which is Of fan
more Importance, which is, that GOOD
reading makes one useful, i better man
and Il better citizen.
We Lave often thought that Temper
ancc Societies would be greatly assisted
in their work of reformation if each had
4 good library attached to it. Suppose
our Temperance Orders 90 to work and
establish libraries. They need not fear
that the investment will not pay L high
premium in the way of better heads and
