Sulphur springs Academy,

The above academy is situated in
the lower end of Granger county,
in what is known as Richland Val
| ley.n The citizens of this neighbour
hood, though men of ordinary means,
have recently built and nearly COM
pleted an excellent framed house, %
by 40. The situation of this academy,
for natural and picturesque scenery. is
unsurpassed in East Tennessee. On
the north, in full view, lies Clinch
mountain. On the south, a beautiful
and imposing range of varigated hills.
"Of the varied features of the dry
| lands, mountains are the most attract
i've and conspicuous" An observer
placed on Clinch mountain, may see
a number of miles in any direction.
Near the academy are fine sulphur
springs, which are accessible all sea-
sons of the year. For beauty of situa-
ton, grandeur of scenery, and health
fulness, this nelghborhOod is, beyond
any doubt, without a superior on the
continent OF America, If any of the
readers of the CHRONICLE don't be-
lieve it, let them go and see for them-
selves, and they will be convinced of
the truth of this assertion. The PEG.
pie are an unassuming, plain, orderly
and moral community. As an induce
ment to young men and young ladies,
who may wish to attend this school.
/ the citizens have been and will CON.
| tinue to board students at eXtrerI- Y
/ low rates---not exceeding Sl.5O yer
week, including washing, fuel, lights,
&c. We challenge East Tennessee to
beat it.
Mr.. Justice, the Principal, is young
I Of or N M hao
| been teaching school at this place for
| fifteen months, and am happy to in>
form the public that he has given uni
versal satisfaction to all his patrons.
He has established a character that is
unimpeachable.
The closing exercises of the last
term of this school came off Friday,
June 4th. EarlNin the morning the
roads in every direction were crowd
ed with buggies, wagons, Ox-carts, and
wheeled vehicles of every description,
loaded with !ucious and delicious sub
stantials of life, and by nine o'clock
there was an immense crowd gather
ed at the Academy. The eXamina-
ton commenced at nine and continued
up to twelve, when an hour was CIV
en- for refreshments and recreation,
aud after the people had partaken free
ly of bountiful dinner of which
there was an abundance for all, the
examination was resumed at one and
continued until 7 p. N. The examina>
ton of the several classes was pointed
and thorough, and evidenced that the
teacher had performed his duty well,
and that the students had not been
idle. Last came the exhibition,
which consisted in declarations,
compositions aud comic debates. The
students ALL from the least to the
greatest, performed their part well.
The prizes were awarded to the fol-
lowing: NJ. Vitetto, Ida MitchellIand
Ellen Weaver.
The school at this place will open
again the second Monday in August,

held in this city nearly hundred and
fifty years ago, and where General
Warren presided as Master. Speeches
were made by Ex-Governor Walker, OF

very much towards promoting the
present era of good feeling which has
characterized the great peace centen

Ethan Allen.

1t was one hundred years ago on
the 10th of May that Ethan Allen with
the assurance characteristic of the
first-class Yankee, demanded of the
British officer in command of Fort
TicOnderoga the surrender of the garri-
son and all its sanguinary parapherna-
liza. He was polite enough to say that
the request was made ION the authori-
ty of the Great Jehovah and the Conti-
mental Congress-" and upon those pa
pers he took possession. This Cente-
nary business has brought out a good
many anecdotes of Allen, some of
which were supposed to be planted be-
You'd resurrection. Here is one:
Allen was in church one Sunday
with a number of friends listening to a
very high Calvinistic minister exact
stature not recorded). The text chosen
was. " Many shall strive to enter in but
shall not be able" and the preacher
promised his remarks by observing
that the grace of God was certainly
sufficient to include one person out of
ten. Secondly" disclosed the fact that
not one in twenty would attempt to
avail himself ofsalyation, AT thirdly"
ii came out that but one man in fifty
was really an object of Divine solicit
tude. Fourthlyh was announced,
and the estimate OF the elect now reduc-
ced to greater correctness, the sad con-
clusion was being drawn that only one
out of eighty-when Allen seized his
hat and evacuated the pew, exclaim-
ing, "I'm off, boys, any one OF you
may take my chance. "-Edtt0Ts

One of the Princess of Wales Dresses.
Paris Letter to the N. Y. GraphicI

In the matter of seaside fashions the
Princess of Wales seems to be leading the
beau monde. She has had a dress made
that is being copied by the mOdiSteS here,
and is worthy being described. 1t is of
Edinburgh cloth, and embroidered in
parti-colored garlands, into which are
ingeniously embroidered the monogram
and crest Of the Princess. The mono
gram is dlloRge in italian fashion, and
the crown embroidered upon three over
tapping pieces crossing at the sides of the
skirt. Similar embroidery is reproduced
on the corsage. which is cut on the bias of
the cloth. In some of the robes in imita-
ton of it the embroidery OF the monogram
and crests are confined to special parts of
the dress. a. the chatelaine, cuffs, collars,
&c, the crowns intermingling with
shields. giving harmonious effect. The
tablier is covered with embroidery. From
this application of the monogram to the
toilet one may fairly expect to see dresses
next year covered with texts in en-
broidery, so that upon meeting with a
dame one has but to glance over her robe
to read her autobiography in the senti-
ments deity woven in her toilet. Ii he
reads the Latin text running up her
sleeve, Dunn spirO sperO,' he may infer
that the wearer is hopeful Naomi, while
the fortune-seeking maiden will have
inscribed on her girdle, " Amour fail
beaucoup, maiS argent fat tout In any
event proper motto for such gowns
would be, A grand frdiS." ..

FOREIGN.

SHANGHAI June 19.-Intelligeuce has
been received from Chin Kiang that body
of native soldiery insulted the United
States Consul and his wife. Two Of the
sggressors were arrested and temporarily
confined in the British Consulate, when a
mob of soldiers surrounded the building
and endeavored to effect the rescue of their
companions. The Europeans hastily mus
tered and prepared to defend the Consulate,
but the Chinese authorities succeeded in
quieting the mob. The British and Amer
lean Consuls at this city have left for Chin
King. The United States Mau-of-war,
Palos, and the British war ship, Thalis,
will follow them.

muIIett's Opinion of the Condition of
the Chicago Custom Mouse.

CHICAGO, June l7.-Mr. Mullett, the
former Supervising Architect of the
Treasury, arrived in this city to-day,
and made an examination of the new
Custom House building. He stated to
reporters that the building was by no
means in the condition it has been
represented that the cracks were en-
tirely on the inside walls, and that for
a few hundred dollars all damage that
has been done by winters frosts could
be remedied, and the necessary ex-
pense of rebuilding obviated. The
stone used was, he states, of the finest
quality and most suitable for the work.
