A TENNESSEE INVENTION. - The
Banner of the 9th inst, says Mr.. r.
II. Moody arrived at Nashville on the
9th, from the Louisville Exposition and
will be found in the power hall exhib-
iting neat model of a horse power
ferry boat, that is destined to surpass
everything of the kind yet produced.
The simplicity of its machinery, and
the ease with which it is handled, its
perfect convenience for loading and
unloading, its very light draught and
adapta5ility for heavy lading, are few
points of its superiority over any horse
ferry yet invented. There are many of
them now in use in the Cumberland
and Caney Fork rivers. We have
crossed the Cumberland on the boat of
this patent at Gallatin, and know
whereof We speak in pronouncing it
superior to any We have yet seen. 1t
is Tennessee invention, patented but
a short while ago by Mr.. Henry Glen
ny, after long and thorough trial of
its merits.

We take pleasure in announcing
that Hon. G.. A. Henry and Col. J..
E. Bailey will address the citizens of
GAINESVILLE and vicinity in Franklin
Hall, at u o'clock, this evening. We
hope they will have a large audience,

see them enter the demoralizing field
of party politics, as mothers. wives and
sisters they can exert a benefcent in
fluence over those whose province it is
to shape the destinies of the country.
To do this, they must know something
of the current events of the day, and
the speakers, just mentioned, are emf
nently qualified to impart that knowl-
edge.

We are warranted by facts in saying
that no Lightning Rod ever offered to
the public has given such universal
satisfaction as our Patent Galvanized

MIR. N. f. Hood, our energetic agent.
During all the terrific thunder storms
of the last five years these Rods have
not failed in a single instance in saving
the buildings and inmates from harm,
as hundreds of certificates are daily
coming from responsible parties all
over the country. We offer Five Hun

any person that will show an instance
when these Rods have failed to protect
any building upon which they are
erected in a proper and scientific man
ner. We respectfully challenge scien-
tifc gentlemen to show an instance
when these Patent Rods have failed.

Last Wednesday evening we were
invited by Mr.. VIM. Merriwether, to
accompany party who had perfected
arrangements to 90 out to Judge Hum
phreys' farm and witness trial of two
sizes of plews made by the GAINESVILLE
Agricultural Manufacturing Company.
The plows used were an Eagle Wing
No. A, 2 horse, and an Eagle Wing No.
5, 3 horse. The ground. in a great
part, very hard and a rocky soil, cover
ed with tall growth of weeds. The
first one used was the No. A, 2 horse
pillow, which run smoothly, making an
average depth of furrow of 8 inches,
and turning the soil in splendid style,
bedding it up evenly and loosely. Sew
eral old and experienced farmers were
present, and one of them remarked
that he had seen many plows put to the
test but this one excelled them all.
Every one present was highly pleasedin
its working.
Two mules and horse we're then
put to the No. 5, which has
wheel to render turning quick and
easy. This pillow is an invention of
this company, and this was the first
time it was ever tried. 1t made
furrow twelve inches in depth, car
rying the earth before tin fine style,
and bedding one furrow with another
in a manner unsurpassed by any pillow
manufactured. The wheel was then
removed, and most of the spectators
were of opinion that the work then
was superior to the first. The mould
board was cleanand bright, no earth
packing to it except in one instance
where it had passed through a clay
subsoil. In good soil, with a trained
team, these plows would do faultless
work.
The manufacturers Of these and
other brands of plows, are citizens of
our city, who have a large establish
ment erected and equipped for this
business, and they are turning out work
that will compete if not excel any done
in this country. Their plows are meet
ing with ready sale in various markets,
and the home and foreign demand is
steadily increasing. To the farmers of
this. and the surrounding counties,
this establishment is of great benefit
because purchasers can have any por-
ton that may need repair adjusted with
accuracy and dispatch, and at as cheap,
or cheaper, rates than by sending
abroad. Our farmers, also, BY buying
good article at home not only save
in outlay, but they at the same time
expend their money SO as to keep tin
circulation at home, thereby assisting
to great extent in sustaining an enter
prise that will, ere long. be of incalcu-
liable benefit to our people. This es-
adjustment will expend annually
large sum of money, which will add
greatly to our prosperity. The firm is
composed of reliable business men,
whose every interest is identified with
that ofour city and county, and we trust
and believe that they will be fully COM
pensated for their energy and enter
prise.

ROUGHDIANeND AMATEURS.
Their First Appearance Greeted BY a
Large Audience.

The young gentlemen amateurs OF
this city made their debut before a
home audience on Thursday night last.
The company is composed of the best
talent in the city, all being well up in
their respective parts, needing only a
little more practice before the public
to render their performance equal to
the best. Several of them appear as
natural as "old stagers," whilst few
very naturally exhibit little timidity.
However, we are no critic, and if we
were, we should deal leuiently with
''our boys" who exhibit quite as much
proficiency upon the boards as ma
jority Of troupes who cater to the pub
lie in this respect for regular rations.
The opening chorous was well exc
cuted and elected rounds of applause.
10. Mattill, the ininitable specimen of
the cork opera, was full of life-whilst
Charly Hodgson, as bones, was very
good. Both have faults that practice
will soon overcome.
Scenes in the art gallery, by Messrs.
Joseph, Averitt, Reynolds and McCur-
dy, kept the entire audience in an
uproar of laughter, each performer
carrying out his part to perfection.
The song, Larboard Watch, by Dick
Jackson and w. A. Forbes, was the
browning effort of the nights enter
tainment. Dick has a splendid, full
toned voice, and has easy control of
voice and manner. Billy Forbes has
fine musical talent, and only needs
practice to come up to the full expec-
tation of the most critical nearer.
Mr.. Joseph, in his Dutch speciali-
ties, received rapturous applause.
Mr.. w. NJ. Tarpley in song and
dance, was equal to the best, and was
encored so heartily that he could not
refrain from reappearing before the
foot lights. The side-spliting farce,
Robert Makes Airs" embracing
the full strength of the company. con-
cluded the performance, and put the
crowd in good tune to wend their way
home.
We go to press too early to give a
detailed notice of Thursday nights
performance, and cannot speak of last
nights programme until our next issue.
The young gentleman propose to
keep up their entertainments, with
entire change of programme each
night, and we predict that Franklin
Hall will be the centre of attraction to
our citizens when the Rough Diamond
Amateurs are billed for the occasion.
