Obituary.

Died at seven o'clock, on Sabbath
morning, Aug. Goth 1875, at the resi-
dence OF her father, in this city, Sallie
Flenniken, eldest daughter of Elijah
and Adeliue Flenniken, after a linger-
ing aud painful illness. Aged Is years.
Born Goth July, 1862. She chung in
winsome beauty and intelligent lowell
ness to the loved ones of her happy
fireside; few bright, childish years,
then, ere the toll and WEAKNESS Of life
had clouded her spirit, fresh and beau
tiful, as God built her tenement, He
bore her spirit To "a house not made
with hands, eternal i'm the Heavens"
Deaths angel came softly as the rain
bow tints Of summers sunset; fading
forever meath the horizon, like the
last radiant ray Of twilight flooding
the earth, she east one look of appeal
ing affection 10 her anguished parents
then curtained her bright orbs to
awaken in the bosom Of her Redeemer
Glorious rest and peace TO the gentle
sufferer Though thy hearts are crushed
aud riyen, idoliZing parents
~ know her spirit waits for thee,
Far up the shining way;
And something seems 10 whisper now,
Wore all nearly home to-day"

Some Enterprise.

A CHRONICLE reporter furnished
full and complete reports of the Ayres
trial every day, which were brought
over to Knoxville every evening by a
special courier, and appeared in the
paper the next morning. The same
courier carried back to Maryville a
large number of CHRONICLES, which
were eagerly bought and read. On
yesterday morning our courier arrived
in Maryville with hundred copies of
the CHRONICLE between seven and
eight o'clock in the morning before
Court met, little ahead of newspaper
enterprise to anything the citizens of
that town were accustomed to, and
from the way the papers were bought,
we judge the enterprise was apprecia-
ted.

The family of the late James II
Cowan have erected to his memory in
Gray Cemetery, an elegant monument
of the best Italian marble, of a neat
design. 1t stands % feet high, and
rests on a foundation of brick and ce-
ment. The base is of granite, four feet
square, aud forms good contrast with
the marble, and for durability is unsur-
passed. The figure which surrounds
the whole is Hope Clasping the An
Choir, an appropriate figure to stand as
a monument over the resting place of
one whose hope was truly the anchor
of the soul" The head of the figure
is encircled with vine of morning
glOries with q star worked in the CEN
tire. The artist in working the figure
has produced an unusually sweet ex-
preston OF face, which is very essen
tial in work of this description.
The monument was manufactured
by Draddy Brothers, of Baltimore.
Mr.. James Draddy came here to su-
perintend its erection, and is now in
the city.

THE LEGEND OF ST, swITHIN.
How It Has Been Verified

From Daily Chronicle August %
Something was said ON the 10th OF
July, st. Swithin's day, to the effect
that If it rained that day it would rain
forty days. The forty days ended yes.
lerday and if our record is correct, there
was more or less rain i'm Knoxville
twenty-five days out of the forty. 1t
is a common saying with the "oldest
inhabitants that such "wet spell, "
at this season, has not been known in
this country. The legend of st.
Swithin has been 80 nearly verified
that in the future St. Swithin's day
will be Que of marked interest with
weather-wise people. Those who
profess to know ABOUT such things say
that the records show that in many
previous years similar rainy seasons
have followed a wet st. Swithins day
st. Swithin was bishop of Winchvs-
ter, and died about SGD. over "a thou
sand years ago, which is long enough
to test uuy legend Swilhin was born
near Winchester, aid was a monk of
the old abbey of Winchester, and
though he died bishop was never
regularly canOnized. He is therefore
what has been termed homemade
saint" IL would seem that love Of
being out in the wet was one of his pc
culiarities, for he directed that when
he should die his body should be
buried under the eaves-drOppiugs of
the church, in which uncomfortable
state it remained for nearly hundred
years, when the clergy ia body began
the removal amidst great p9mp to the
Cathedral of Winchester. The cere-
nony, however, was interrupted at the
beginning by heavy burst of rain,
which continued forty days. Tue
monks, who were frightened 10y the
rain, desisted and built chapel over
the remains on the spot where they
lay buried. Out of this incident grew
the legend which has held place in
the popular mind along with other ira
ditions and superstitions for so many
centuries.
