New Courthouse Dedicated.

For several weeks past, Messrs.
Lyle and Folsom, the contractors,
have been pressing the work on the
New Court-H House in Morriston, with
view Of having the same ready foT
the August term of the Circuit Court.
On Saturday, August 18th, the
Architect in the presence, and will
the consent OF a majority Of the
the building committee, received the
structure at the hands of the con-
tractors, and gave them a written
certificate to the effect that the con-
tract in all it's details with some
small exceptions yet to be executed
had been satisfactorily complied
with.
On Monday, August 18th, the Cir
cult Court met in the magnificent
courtroom. Court being regularly
opened, Judge Barton. as chairman
of the building committee, rendered
building to his Honor, and to the
public, as their Temple of Justice.
In his remarks he expressed his
qualification, that the County Court
OF Hamblen and the people, had SO
literally sustained the committee in
its effort to construct a building
worthy the age and the community ;
assuring the public that the con-
tractors and the Architect had done
all things in the utmost good faith.
and in the best and most substantial
manner. Judge Barton, being the
senior member OF the bar present,
took occasion in his remarks to refer
to some habits Of personal demeanor
among members Of the profession,
and to speak of the improperly of
any but the most polite and gentle
manly department at the bar; and
to urge younger members of the pro-
fession to cultivate kindly feelings
and polite department in the forum.
A number of gentlemen followed
in short, appropriate addresses.
Among them we may mention Theo.
Rogan, P. G. Fulkerson, o. G. King,
James G. Rose, and others. The
remarks of Judge Barton to the
members of the bar were referred to
and heartily commended by every
speaker.
His honor. Judge Randolph, in his
charge to the Grand Jury, dwelt at
length upon the law in reference to
public buildings and the penalties
for its violation.
This is all % it should be. Ham
blen county. young though she is,
has by far the finest and most SUBJ
stantial Courthouse in Upper East
Tennessee-dnd Is not Ia debt for 1t.
Other counties have paid more for
buildings that are not worth half the
money. Other counties have debts
hanging over them, contracted in
building COurt-hou$cs. Indeed it is
doubtful if county in East Tennes-
see, has been so fortunate in the
enlargement of it's financial affairs,
as our little IIamblen.

An Unwholesome season,

The closing days of winter and the early days of
spring are very trying TO the feble and sensitive
and are apt to affect unpleasantly even the more
robust and vigorous. Nothing can be more un-
congenial to the chilling winds, fogs, and
cold rains land of such unwelcome visitors we
have a superabundance at this season. Common
prudence suggests therefore, the proprety of for
Hfyipg the system against these insidious enemies
of health and comfort, and the experience Of more
than q quarter of a oentuary points to Hostetters
Stomach Bitters the all sufficient sanitary safe
guard under such untoward circumstances. An
accession Of vital strengts and energy is what Is
requised TO meet and overcome the unhealthy ele.
ments now present in the atmosphere. This In
traordinary drafts which an Indictment season
makes upon the system and the constitution, can
be readily acquired by taking from three to four
doses of Hostetters itters daily during the winter
and spring months. The nature of this eelebroted
restorative is wen known to the public. 1t is COM
posed of an absolutely pure difusive stimnlant
medcated with the extracta and juices Of the most
laxative roots and herbs known to medicinal
science. To the combination of these excellent in
gradients, in proportions suitable to the exigen-
cies Of enfeebled, langufd and diseased systeme
the great tonic-alterative owes its efficiency as
preventative and curative. A course of it com,
meneed now, viii prevsnt all danger of fever and
ague, rheumatism, other ailments arising from
cold and damp peculiar TO spring months, and Also
prove safeguard against the attacks OF dyspepsia
and hger complaint which so frequently occur al
this time Of the car.

Our ScHooLs.-It is gratifying to know
that our free school opened on last Mon
day under most favorable auspices. 1t
is under the supervision of Prof. w. NJ.
Mitchell, of Abingdon, Va, assisted by
Miss Lizzie Lothrop. Prof. Mitchell is
a graduate of Lexington Military Insti-
tute; has had an experience of three years
in the school-room as teacher; and comes
to rs highly recommended. Miss Lo-
throp, reared and educated in our very
midst, is too well and fayorably known
to need commentator from US. This
school, if the teachers are heartily en-
dorsed and sustained by the the people,
will be success, and will prove bless
ing of which we may well feel proud.
The number of students enrolled on open
ing was seventy-fve. The Reagan High
School also opened on Monday last. but
with what number we are not informed.
The Principals, Profs. Wilson and Car
riger, we understand, expect a full at
tendance this session; and it is their de-
termination to sustain the merited repu-
tation of their school, both as regards
discipline and and thorough instruction.
No better school can be found in the
land; and parents who have sons to edu-
cate, morally and mentally, would do
well to become patrons of this institu-
ton. The Masonic Female Academy
will open its next session on Monday,
the 31st inst, under the control and man.
agement of the Rev. T. p. Summers,
assisted by Miss Eva Burnett. This
school has been in successful operation
for the last six years, and through all
that time has spoken out and highly
recommended itself by its own merits.
We bespeak for it the hearty cO-opera-
ton of all good people. With three first
class schools in our midst, no parent is
excusable ifYhis sons and daughters re-
ceive not a liberal education. Choose
where your children shall go, and see to
it that they go eeery dry.

On THE WAR PATH.-Judge Gillcn-
waters addressed portion of the people
of IIamblen county at the Court House
in this town one day last week. We
were absent from the town on the Occa-
sion, but learn that he presented his
claims for a seat in the National Legis-
Iature with his usual ability and earnest
ness, and regretted the absence of his
competitor, Col. Butler. Judge Gillcn-
waters and DR.. Wheeler, of the Herald
and Tribune, reached this place by the
train last Sunday morning, and after a
substantial dinner at the Turley blouse,
departed Sunday evening in a buggy for
Rutledge, where he proposed addressing
his felIow-citizcns Monday. He reports
Col. Butler at Washington City, and re-
grets his inability to get him to attend
these appointments. But all this negli-
xence on the part of Col. Butler may be
remedied after while, you know. A
collision sooner or later is inevitable be,
tween the cratic bodies, and for one we
repeat,

AN INDIANA TRAGEDY.-An associated
press dispatch of the Goth gives the par
ticulars of a sad story of shame, suicide,
and murder, occurring at indianapolis,
Ia, on the afternoon Of that day. Geo.
@. Harding, editor of the indianapolis
Herald, shot H. Moritz, a prominent
merchant of that city, under the follow
ing circumstances: These gentlemen
have been warm friends and very init
mate in their social relations Moritz,
who is about forty years old and married,
took advantage of this intimacy and
succeeded in seducing the daughter of
Mr.. Harding, a young lady of about
eighteen. This occurred in March last,
and improper relations have been main
tanned by the parties since that time
The young lady was brought to a con-
fession of these facts by her father that
evening, and, overwhelmed with re-
morse and shame, sought to take her
own life by taking opium, and, it is
thought, repeating the dose this morning.
About one O'clock Mr.. Harding went in
search of physician, and while passing
down the street, met Moritz, Immediate
~ firing at him, shooting five times, and
then passed on down the street. Mr.
Moritz was taken to his residence where
medical examination proved that but
two of the shots had hit him, one shatter-
ing the left elbow and the other passing
directly through the lung and lodging in
the chest. 1t was thought the latter
would prove fatal as he spit blood quite
freely for some time, but at this hour,
ten o'clock, he is resting quitely, and lis
thought will recover. Miss Harding
died about three o'clock the same even
ing Mr.. Harding was admitted to bail
on $4,000 bonds this evening to wait
the result of Moritz' wounds George G.
Harding, who did the shooting, is ma
tive of Knoxville, and, if our memory
is correct, is a nephew of the late John
r. Nelson, of that city. lie is -practi-
cal printer, and one of the ablest and
best known editors in Indiana. Miss
Flora Harding, the deceased, is repre-
sented as being young lady of more
than ordinary promise, and had for the
past year been connected with the city
schools, where she taught very accept
ably, the German language She was
also a writer of considerable ability, and
contributed quite extensively TO the
columns of the Sunday Herald. No
wonder the sad affair cast a gloom over
the city of Indianapolis, or that public
sympathy should go out strongly for the
enraged father and his afflicted family

MORE SECRETS REPORTED.-If q
fuss is made about it we will testi-
fy that we clipped the following
from the Athens Post:
At a church fair the other evening
they had SHOW in which perso /
could sec any animal he wished by pay
ment of ten cents. The show consisted
of covered mirror, and when they
named the animal the cloth was remOv-
ed, and of course they saw themselves
reflected in the glass. Among those
present upon the evening alluded to was
a bridal couple whose marriage Oc-
CURED the evening the husband Joined
the Changers. The bride wasn't Gran
ger by any means, and had been twit-
ting her husband in reference to his con-
nection with that organization. She
was anxious to see the Show and paid
her ten cents for that purpose. Taking
her place before the covered mirror, she
was asked what animal she would like
to see. The goat my husband rode
the night he joined the Changers" was
the reply. The cloth was removed, and
her curiosity was satisfied.

was consigned to Messrs, Orr Brothers,

price, in comparison with the price of
wheat. 1t may be that our farmers would
do well to invcs tigate the Barley culture
question, and give il some attention, as
we learn it is an easy cultivated crop,
and more remuncratiyc than either wheat
or oats.
