BUSINESS IN MoBILE.-The Register, of
the 2lst, says:
From the number of drays upon the
street, the active way they have of getting
about, and the appearance Of things gel,er-
ally. we have come to the conclusion that
Mobile, for this season of the year, is re-
markably brisk. Both wholesale and retail
houses seem to lie doing well; the boats
never fail to take ont good loads and the
express and railroad companies appear to
have their hands full. Times we know,
are very hard and money scarce. hut our
city is evidently holding her own, all reports
to the contrary, notwithstanding.

The Pic Mic at Mulberry.
For the Fayetteville Observer.

Mr.. EDIToR-It was with
pleasure that I attended a pic
mic given at the pleasant village
of Mulberry last Saturday, and
l must say it was one Of the
most pleasant days | have spent
for some time. The crowd was
just large enough to make eve
~ thing pleasant, and all seemed
to enjoy themselves finely
The young ladies all had on
their loveliest looks and the gen.
tlemen their best behaviour
Your reporter thinks he will
not prevaricate if he says that
there was great deal Of love-
making going on. If there was
not, they certainly let a golden
opportunity pass. There was
not an intoxicated or disorderly
person OH the ground. The
dinner was excellent and plen-
tiful, and gotten up-in the very
best style, which proves that the
managers did all in their power
to provide for the enjoyment of
the visitors, who were from all
directions of the county. |
must say that the success of
the picnic is attributable greatly
to the energy of Mr.. Frank
Solomon. Others performed
their duty equally as we'll, no
doubt, but our young friend
seemed to put himself to trouble
that others might enjoy them
selve. Lovers of different games
were satisfied, there being eve
ry thing on ground desired
Mulberry never failsin anything
it undertakes. It's citizens are
live, energetic, well-to-do peo-
pie. They support one OF the
best schools i'll Tennessee and
several first-class business hous-
es. There is not a retail liquor
house in the corporation, which
speaks we'll for the place
Last Saturday will long be re-
membered as one of the most
pleasant days connected with
the history of Mulberry.

~ The closing exercises

@ The closing exercises
of the Fayetteville Female A
cademy were an admirable sue
cess. The essays of the grad
uating class were good and
very finely read. The address
Of Col. Holman was unusually
interesting and won golden O.
pinions for that orator. Prof.
Hatcher's remarks TO the SEN
Tor class were very short, but as
much to the point as could be.
The concert Thursday night has
been highly spoken of by all.
And that supper! Let the
young folks tell Of that. Un-
der the management of the
committee it could be nothing
but a success. The commence
ment sermon by Mr.. Fisher was
very interesting, and added to
that gentleman's claims as a
pulpit orator. Upon the whole,
the exercises were of the most
interesting character, and we
look forward with pleasure to
the next.

Wife Beating.

This most miserable habit''of the
most miserable description of men,
appears to be largely on the in.
crease in some places. The Gin
cinnati Enquirer now before US,
contains eight separate instances
in which a wife has been brutality
treated by husband-treated il
a manner revolving to every sense
of humanity, not to mention the
supposition of a once-existing mu-
tual affection between the parties.
In most of the cases that have
come under our observation, the
wife,beater has endeavored to pal,
late his crime by pleading intoxi-
cation ; and almost always the
victim, with her wounds still bleed
ing upon her person, has crawled
up to the judgmentseat and for
.givingly put in a prayer of inter-
ceSsion for her task master How
strange a thing is that woman'S
love, who still clings SO fondly to
the object that scorns, that abuses,
that deserts her! There is moth,
ing of earth in a passion SD lifted
above common cares, common
anxieties, and common animosities.
1t is sublime. And yet, how often
we find il the gift of some of the
poorest AID the feeblest, the least
intellectual and the most degraded
of the sex. II is the one redeem,
Ing point that, amid all theiy men
tai sqnalor, lifts them up to COM
partnership with the skies. 1t is
the solitary grain of wheat amid
the bushel of moral chaff in their
composition. How it should be
valued! And whe2 the insensate
brutes to which fate has linked
them would crush it ont, and
leave them all animal like them
selves, how would we like to see
the tyrants brought to II concep-
ton of their wickedness, and the
perfection of the love they cannot
appreciate. 1t is something to
know that these wife.beaters are
being treated now, properly, with
due severity but alas a! how is it
possible to punish them. without
making their. innocent families
share alike in the depreciation and
the pecuniary consequences
