his inimitable greetings at the Court
House this tuesday evening. His
readings will be made up Of choice
selections. tragic, comic.pathei and
eccentric, interspersed with songs,ren-
dered as only Bonham. the Prince of
Versatility, can render them. The
whole entertainment we will endorse
as being amusing, instructive, ehaste
and elegant. Wherever MIR. Bon
ham has appeared the press and peo-
pie speak of him in the most exalted
terms. DIR. II. II. Hargrove, Presi-
dent of the Methodist Female Col
lege. Franklin, Tennessee, in a pri-
vate letter, says: eve were present
last evening, and the entertainment
is a model of its kind. The selec-
lions Of songs and recitations were
gems, and rendered with the skill of
a real artist. Humor, pathos and
beauty were happily interspersed.
Good taste and pure sentiment pre-
vailed throughout. His audience be-
come as little children, weeping and
laughing through their tears" We
hope our citizens generally will avail
of an opportunity to hear
this great elocutionist and gifted
genius. His entertainments are sim.
ply q 'feast Of reason" Of which
one can never tire.

THE FIRST REPULsE.-We noticed
a few weeks ago the appointment of
j. c. Napier, colored, u. S. Revenue
Collector of the Nashville District.
From the Nashville papers we learn
that his first visit to Murfrees-
boro', on the 1st inst, was the occa-
sion Of serious setback to his dig
nifty, as the proprietor of the Will
lard House, who had given him a
room under the impression that he
was a white man, compelled him to
vacate it, and leave the house, after
ascertaining his blood. He was ac-
companied by another revenue off
Ger, and the two walked fifteen miles
from Murfreesboro' before they could
find a vehicle to carry them to Nash
vile.

SERIOUS AFFRAY IN GRANGER CoUN-

TAMPICo, June ), 1874.
To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
Marion Ballenger, a resident Of
Jefferson county, was brought into
this place about dark on Saturday
evening last, in an insensible condi.
ton, produced by blow on the head
from rock thrown by Joe. Allsup.
The parties had an old grudge
against each other, and having been
thrown together at a trial before a
Justice of the Peace, about two
miles from here, in which AIlsup
was plaintiff and BalIenger a wit
ness for the defendant; the result
was as above stated. They were
both under the influence of whiskey.
Justice II. 3. Mitchell, who was
present and witnessed the whole
affair, seeing that Ballenger's condi-
ton was critical, ordered the arrest
of Allsup, and he was accordingly
taken in charge by constable Acuff,
who accompanied him to Rutledge,
where he appeared Sunday morning
before Justices Doyal and Shir1y,
and waving an examination, gave
bond in the sum Of $1.250 for his APP
pearance at Circuit Court. Ballen-
ger was taken to his home in Jeffer-
son county on Monday, where he has
been visited by physicians from New
Market and this place. lie has so
far improved as to appear conscious
at times and be able to talk a little,
but his left side is paralyzed, and
the doctors consider his case a
dangerous one.
THE WHEAT, CORN AND OATS CROP.
The farmers of this section are
preparing for harvest. Wheat is be-
ginning to turn. and they will COM
menee cutting next week. A large
portion of the wheat is affected with
the rust, but as it is only on the
blades it will probably not produce
much injury, and it is thought there
will be very large yield. Corn and
oats are very small. but as we have
had considerable amount of rain
this week, they have been much ben

I am highly pleased, as no doubt
many more of your readers are, with
your bold and out-spoken position
in regard to railroad monopolies, and
dead head passes. l hope xou will
give us still more light on the sub
ject. Let the farmers see that they
can save enough on their produce to
pay all their taxes, if they can only
procure a reduction of freight on the
roads over which they ship, sufficient
to bring them into fair competition
with Western producers, and | think
they will not be willing to vote for
any man to represent them in the

pondent at Thorn Hill gives us the
particulars of terrible outrage COM
mitted upon the person OF Miss Mar
tina Hipsher, daughter of Boston
IIipsher. living three miles above
Thorn Hill, on the 9th inst. The
facts, as given in evidence by the I'M
fortunate young woman, are as fol-
lows: -Four young men, viz: 'Joppy'
Coffey, Clinton Collins. James g.
Collins and Osborne Wolfe, went to
the house Of Boston Hipsher and
found the young lady lying across
the bed. she being at the time I'M
we'll and alone. They proceeded to
smother her with the cover. and at
the same time three held her while
the fourth satisfied his hellish lust.
And so on, by turn, until all four of
the licnds had outraged her person.
They were promptly arrested, tried
before Esq. A. Dalton, and commit
ed to Jail. The deputy Sheriff, Pleas.
Dalton, while at Thorn Hill with the
prisoners named augmented his COM
pany by adding Joshua Collins and
James Collins, charged with lewd-
ness, and who in default. proceeded
to that pleasant summer resort--the

Mr.. Manard is recognized as a thor

AN IMPORTANT OLD SUIT DECIDED.
We learn from the Press and Her
old that the eiectment suit of Maj.
r. b. Reynolds VS.. Gen. Joseph A.
Cooper. was decided by the jury, on
last Saturday, after short confer
ence, in favor OF Maj. Reynolds. An
other confirmation of the fact that
truth is omnipotent and public JUS
tice certain ! A Knox county jury
giving a verdict against one of the
truly loyal is indicative of a
healthy change in public sentiment.
The suit involved the title to the old
Reynolds farm, six miles south of
Knoxville, heretofore owned by Gen.
Joseph A Cooper, who purchased it
from Senator Brownlow, into whose
possession it came by being bought
at an execution sale under a iudg-
ment recovered by Brownlow in 1865,
for arrest and imprisonment during
the war. The Supreme Court Of
Tennessee has held that the judg-
ment was Irregular and invalid.

up TO 1887, the rates of postage were
twenty-five cents on q letter sent over

A Kentucky Phenomenon.

Paducah is ten miles on an air line
from Metropolis, and the bend in the
river between the places makes it i'm
possible to see any one of those places
from the other. Yet the people of the
Metropolis saw Paducah very distinctly
the other day, if the following from the
Metropolis Journal of last week may be
relied upon:
IA most remarkable phenomenon was
witnessed yesterday morning by some OF
the citizens-of this place. Directly af-
ter sunrise dark bank of clouds lay
close to the horizon in the direction OF
Paducah, and just above this dark en-
bankment, mirrored in clear and Sc
rene deep blue sky, the city of Paducah
appeared, with all its spires, houses
streets, wharfs, &C., clearly visible. The
mirage appeared about forty degrees
above the horizon. At the time the be-
holder could see three steamboats, at the
wharf, the Tennessee River, the tow
heads, and in fact the entire city, all ap-
pearing as natural as life, except that
everything appeared magniied to twice
the natural size. A gentleman who
came down on the Fisk verified the ap
pearance so far as the steamboats, were
concerned"

A Curious Romance.

The latest Enoch Arden romance has
happy, but exceedingly matter-of-fact
denouement. The hero, Mr.. Oades, was
married many years ago in New Zea-
land, and had raised a small family.
One day a tribe of savages took advan-
tage of his absence, and laid his home
in ashes Mr.. Oades discovered among
the ruins what he believed to be the
charred remains of his wife and chill
dren, and as su bsequent inquiry seemed
to confirm the belief, he made up his
mind that he was widower. After a
lapse of years he removed TO California,
settled in San Bernardino, and finally
took unto himself another mate. The
other day the original Mrs. Oades turn
ed up, with an interesting group of
grown-up, young Oadeses. They had
only been carried into captivity by the
savages and on their escape the faithful
woman traced her husband to his farm
house at San Bernardino. Oades behav-
ed like sensible man. The first wife
had legal claim to his protection, but
he had also married the second in good
faith. So compromise was effected by
Welding the two branches of the house
of Oades into one, and the happy man
now rejoices in the bosoms of his two
families. This is more manly than
sneaking Of, whatever the good people
! of San Bernardino may think about il
