FROM THE COUNTRY.
Reg istratiOn News.

| MADISON PARISH.
The registration close here with 1890 on the
list, Of whom $50 are whites. The Radical
majority will be at least HOO below the es-
tim tie made by Kellogg and his supporters
when the books were opened.
From recent and perfectly reliable informa-
ton received from all the parishes in this
Congressional District, it is considered the
election Of Capt Spencer certainty.
The news is most cheering from all parts of
| the district.
IBERVILLE PARISH.
Registration has been closed and we find
that the number of voters is as follows: whites
sos, blacks 2343, total 314S. As yet we have
not heard Of any serious complaints as to the
manner in which the registration was con-
Quoted. There are two Radical candidates tor
Congress in that district, and it is expected
they will divide the vote and let in the Con-
servative nominee, Capt. Thos. King.
An entire new variety Of murder has been
found at Winnipeg, Manitoba. One Joseph
Michaud, who was recently hung in that dis
tant settlement tor murder, not only confessed
his guilt and admitted the justice OF his SEN
tence, but totally abstained from the usual
threat of meeting the pious members OF the
community i'll Heaven. AS rule the dying
murderer assumes an exasperating air Of entire
superiority to all the rest Of the world in point
Of saintliness, and also expresses degree of
certainty as to his safe and speedy arrival in
Heaven that is well calculated to make honest
people doubt whether there will be any room
reserved for them in the latter locality. Mr.
Michaud, however, declined to intrude himself
among the angelic hosts, contenting bimself
with the modest hope that he might be per-
mitted to visit his mother in some remote and
unfrequented corner of Heaven; and, more
over, confessed that his life chad not been
that OF man, and less of Christian" They
clearly grow better variety of murderers in
Manitoba than they do on this side of the
border, and the fact is one of which philan-
thropists should take notice.
A Chicago description OF Fred. Grant:
''Among the throng. after having exchanged
salutations with his parental relations, min
gled q stolid.looking, sullen-faced young man,
with faint attempt at moustache, and cold,
lifeless eyes, an ungainly figure, and no re-
deeming feature, upon whom eyes were occa-
sionally cast, and persons frequently addressed
as Col. Fred. Grant, the happy man He is
the son OF President Grant, and possesses be-
yond question many of the traits of character
that have, in moments Of trial, stood his
father in such good stead"

FIFTH ANNUAL STATEMENT,
Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1874-08-22

A WRITER, over the signature OF
"Incognitio," in the Murfreesboro
News, of the 18th inst, talks as fol-
lows, about some of our resident fair
sex, and of others we'll known in this
community:
'As we wended our way at late
hour Wednesday night, in finale prom
enade with several of the fair daugh-
tiers of Rutherford and their charming
visitors, through the brilliantly lighted
halls and magnifcently illuminated
walls of Soule College and its beautl-
ful grounds, we felt that the assurances
of all given to Mrs. West and Mrs.
Mizell, as to their enjoyment at the
party at Soule College given to the fair
and lovely Misses Mamie and Mary
Rice, of GAINESVILLE, now visiting the
beautiful Miss Sallie Mizell, of this
city, did but half express the appreci-
alton of the guests, and that brief
notice would be in order of this party,
which had for its participants the fair
cSJ vi OuE ldlt anu tnC lHOSC dCCOu-
plished of our gallants, beside the
presence of the accomplished and
graceful Misses Kate and Blanch
Avent, shining lights of the elite OF
Memphis the vivacious, witty and in
teresting Miss Louie Scudder, one OF
Shelbyyille's fairest bellies, and the at
tractive and agreeable Miss Matte Me-
Leudon who, for time favors Tennes-
see instead of Lagrange, Ga, with her
smile. We cannot sufficiently ac-
knowledge the courteous welcome Mrs.
Atkins extended to all, or the lovely
captivating manner and lively aud en-
ergetic interest which the charming
Miss Mary Belle Mizell evinced that
all should enjoy the evening. After l
a. m, the good bye" was said, and
thus ended one of the most brilliant
and interesting entertainments of the
season. oh! It's ever thus

To the Citizens Of Clarksrille.

In May last committee of seven
was appointed by the C. II. and L. Co
to devise some means to raise suffi-
Gent sum of money to pay off the In
debtedness of the company. After
consultation with some of the leading
men of our city, they decided to give a
Promenade Concert, together with a
Gift Enterprise, as the most feasible
plan for raising the amount necessary
to pay off the entire indebtedness.
Afteradvertising the concert for four
months and giving all the spare time
they could to this enterprise, they find,
that owing to the unexpected stringen-
cy of money matters necessarily fol-
lowing the long drouth which we have
had, failure of crops, &C., they are
compelled to give over their scheme
and throw themselves upon the indul-
gence of our citizens.
The company have at a call meeting,
August 10Th, appointed Messrs. T. d.
Toombs and Matt Gracey, two of their
number, to wait upon our citizens and
solicit loan topay off this debt, which
amounts at present to $3.50. In addi-
ton to this, they will have to pay calls
of $40 each month until the Building
and Loan Association shall have paid
out.
We have endeavored, encouraged by
your appreciation, to build for our
Trucks house that would do credit
to your fire department. With reluc-
lance, and some degree of embarrass-
ment, we ask your assistance in this
our first appeal for aid in this way,
promising as company to return, at
some future time, any amount you may
advance us. We ask this as a loan,
not as a donation. The amount accru-
ing from rent of house SO soon as
the Building and Loan Indebtedness is
paid off, shall be reserved as fund to
repay these loans, the income from
fines, &C., being amply sufficient to
defray current expenses of the CON-
pany.
We desire to return thanks to those
who have purchased concert tickets.
The money paid for same will be re-
funded upon presentation to the mem
Der of the committee from whom pur-
chased. Respectfully,
J. NJ. House, / Co,

WE note the return of Mr.. B. +.
Coulter and wife from California, and
are glad to know that Mrs. Coulter
was benefited by the trip. During
their brief stay in San Francisco they
we're the recipients OF many kind and
courteous attentions from Mr.. VIM. A.
White, former resident of this city,
and now engaged in large and pros
porous business in that growing and
rich city. Many of the older citizens
here will be glad to know that Mr..
Whites father is still in vigorous
health, though now quite old. They
visited the famous Yosemite Valley
and many other points of interest,
travelling over a large part of the
State, making many pleasantacquaint-
ance. He reports crops fine in Cali
fornia, and the State in a most pros
porous condition.

Female Academy, Aug. 20, IA.

Our correspondent at McAllister's
XRoads, writing on the 18th inst, says:
We have suffered more from the
drouth during the last week, than for
the same length of time this year The
shuck is drying up ON the corn.
The army worm is destroying all of
the millet and late corn. A great many
farmers are turning their hogs in on
the milet.
A monster rattlesnake was killed a
short time ago by some one in this
neighborhood. I do not know who
killed him. Judging from his size, he
must have had fifteen or twenty rattles.
A little child of Mr.. I. Batson,
about two years old, got lost few days
ago, and wandered around in the woods
for some time, until she was found by
a colored woman named Martha Buck
ner.
While party of neighbors we're sit
ting up with the corpse of Miss Jane
Adams, at the house of her grand
father, Nelson Adams, in Dickson
county, on the 18th inst, Mrs. Adams
attempted to fill coal oil lamp from
a full can, when an explosion took
place and Mrs. Adams was so badly
burned as to cause her death next day.
Mr.. Adams, two of his sons and one
daughter were also burned, but not
dangerously. The flames set the house
on fire, but it was extinguished with
out any serious damage.
At j. K. Trotter's, in this county, a
negro girl fourteen or fifteen years Of
age was kicked in the pit of the stom-
ach by a horse, on the 18th inst, and
died next day.

Miss s. f. Shiyers.

This excellent young lady died at
the Female Academy on the 18th inst,
after protracted and painful illness.
She had been an inmate of my family
for almost four years. As lady she
exhibited the most refined and delicate
traits that belong to woman. Easy and
affable in her manners, gentle and con-
fiding in her disposition, always cheer
full and agreeable, she very soon be-
came a great favorite with us. Though
frequent sufferer, such was her ex-
quisite idea of politeness, that in the
social circle she never complained, but
ever assumed an air of cheerful con-
tent. There were traces, it is true, of
her suffering On her brow, but the men
ton of it never obstructed the free
tide of social pleasure, so delicately
and beautifully unselfsh was she.
As "a christian she was entirely con-
sistent, always ready to give reason
for the hope" that cheered her. She
loved the sacred book and her faith in
its truths was firm and steady. Not at
all obtrusive in her religious opinions,
she was yet always willing to converse
with those who had experimental
knowledge of the precious principles
of the religion of Jesus. In her long
and painful illness she hardly evinced
the very slightest trace of impotence,
her faith in Providence was so strong.
1t was the hand of her father that af-
ficted, and her humble and abiding
trust comforted and strengthened her.
After all she was granted a calm and
peaceful death. Recovering from a
paroxysm of pain, she rested a few
minutes and then her pure spirit passed
away like the morning mist. D, how
beautiful is the death of the righteous
As teacher, she was prompt, faith
full, earnest, taking eternity into the
estimate of her responsibility. Slowly
but surely did she win the confidence
and affection of her pupils, and among
them she numbers some of her warm
est friends She had clear views of her
duties and was indefatigable and thor
ough in the discharge of them. l can
safely say that in Miss Shivers l have
lost one of the very best teachers [
ever had.

How to destroy sassafras thickets,
in fields, has long been matter of in
terest to farmers, and various theories
have been started-such as cutting
down in August, and at certain stages
of the moon. We however, know of
but one effeetual mode of destroying
the pest-that is, to fence in the in
tested spot and keep cattle and sheep
upon it. The incessant trampling of
the ground will if judiciously perse-
vered in, effectually destroy the sassa-
fras, whilst the droppings from the
cattle will enrich the ground The
spread of sassafras is indicative of
overworked and impoverished land.

MULES POIsoNED.-Last Saturday
night some one in passing Mr.. c. Am
brose's stable, heard his mules making
quite a noise, and informed him of it.
He repaired to the stable, and found
one of them down, badly swollen and
frothing at the mouth, and the noise
was caused by his efforts to get on his
feet. The other mule was on foot but
in the same condition as the other
in other respects. They both died that
night about s o'clock. They had been
fed regularly and moderately, and were
not over worked. The only cause to
be assigned for their taking off appears
to be poison.

THE nomination Of Judge James

platform as adopted, we can and will
elect him to preside over the destinies
of our proud old commonwealth. We
run up his name to-day, at the head Of
our columns, and shall battle honestly
and faithfully for him up to the close
