For several years We have author
lied the officers Of many Of our State
Agricultural Societies to offer special

offered these premiums for the pur-
pose Of encouraging the growth OF
flowers and their exhibition, thus in
creaslng the taste for this beautiful
work and materially adding to the at
tracLiveness of our autumn shows.
We thought the premiums onered Tor
flowers ridiculous ly low, as compared
with those in other departments, and
therefore, felt a pleasure in enlargine
the small sums. They were also de-
signed as o compliment and encour-
agement to my customers. There
were grave defects in previous oHers,
which we have endeavored to rectify.
i now make the following PROPOSE
.tion: 1 authorize every State and
Territorial Society in America (and
where there are two prominent socte-
tiles in one State, bOth) and every Pro
yincial Society in Canada, to offer for
me the premiums below, on condition
that they publish the offer in the reg

Mrs. Sartoris leaves her native country
with only twenty-five immense trunks, in
which she carries her modest wardrobe, to
say nothing of the boxes which it will
require to shelter the flood of gifts rained
upon the fortunate young damsel of 10
years. Although her dresses were all made
by New York modiste, they are eXquis-
ltely beautiful and reflect credit on the
skill of our countrywomen equal to the far
famed notoriety of worth. In her trous-
seau aresix black silk walking suits, various
~ trimmed ,one with straw one with silver
and lace, another with jet and lace, three
long black silk dresses, twenty embroidered
white muslin, some to be worn over color
cd silks, Others as Vatican morn ing dress
es. Every evening silk plaid, with two
waists, one high, the other decollette One
dress, which looks like a beautiful dream
is pale lilac trimmed with plaitings of
crepe lisse of the same color, and covered
with masses of almost fragrant violets.
Another has petticoat of white silk, with
putf1ngs of crepe lisse, and court trail
of white silk, brocaded with white and
purple lilac blossoms and pink moss rose
buds at the left side. Extending entirely
around the train is a wreath of the same
flowers. Then there is a fairy like blue
trimmed with dainty straw and fmy
Valenciennes flounces, and rich white
silk trimmed with black Brussels lace and
LOUNGES.
Then she has shawls so soft and fine
that they can be slipped through IA finger
ring, and tiny slippers and shoes for every
dress and parasols, with lace covers and
rarely carved handles, and exquisite and
costly sets of black and white laces, given
her by her father, and lingerie that is as
dainty and richly made as if for some I'm
dine or nymph. ..ru- ...

Correspondence ofthc ohroniole.l
Having waited long time for our old
friend 40. p. Dildock" to give you some
cambridge items, and having waited in
vain, have concluded to try my hand:
n spirit OF Improvement seems to per-
wade our quiet town, even in these DAYS of
Hard Times New fences are being
erected in all directions, and add very
much to the appearance of our place
Even our old friend ST. John Mitchell is
infected with the spirit so much that he
has added new front to his porch. The
finished and polished workman, Mr.. j. G..
Smith, has just completed a very beauti-
Jul monument in our graveyard, erected i'm
memory of our well. beloved and departed
friend, Gen. J. A. Dewey. The design is
very beautiful, after the form of "cradle
monument" with splendidly carved
column at the head, and large vase at the
foot.
Mr.. Peter B. Iubrick, a gentleman from
Buffalo, New York, has been with us for
some time. He is prospecting for good
farm. lie is well pleased with our glorious
country, and will make it his home. All
such persons we are happy to welcome,
and ask for more
b. f, Brown has fitted up his ice cream
saloon IN line style, and is furnishing
the very best of cream and soda. Frank
knows how to fix up such things, and
merits the custom he is receiving.
Our schools are in flourshing condi.
ton, ana are well attended. The scholars
are preparing for the examinations and
exhibitions that take place in July. We
are blessed with several first-cass Sunday
schools, and the interest manifested in
their success is on the increase. The Bap-
fist and Methodist schools have each an
organ, and a subscription list is in circua-
ton to purchase one for the Presbyterian
school. We had happy reunion at the
BAPTIST school on last Sabbath. Mai. W.
w. Dean, of Loudon, Tenn, the former
superintendent and almost father of the
school, met with his children. They love
him dearly, and were not slow to show the
same. They welcomed him with their
sweetest songs; which singing, by the
way, is not to be equalled by many and
excelled by none.
Our young people are making arrange
ments for strawberry festival at the Court
House. Much enjoyment is anticipated.
