This is a story related of Jarvis, the dis

and whenever he met friend (Which was
once in two or three minutes, for the pops

beckon to him with wink to fall into
line" behind By and by the man turned
down one of the cross streets, followed
close by Jarvis and his trail" Attracted
by the measured tread of so many feet, he
turned round abruptly, and, seeing the
procession that followed in his footsteps, he
exclaimed: WHAT for de debbil is dis ?
What for you take me, eh?' Sir" eX-
claimed Jarvis, with an air of profound
respect, ''we saw you going to the grave
alone with the body of your dead infant,
and we took the opportunity to offer you
our sympathy, and to follow your babe to
the tomb" The man explained, in his bro

cigars, and he evinced his gratitude for the
interest which had been manifested in his
behalf by breaking it open and dispensing
them very literally to the mourners.-

From a passenger on the western
bound train last Wednesday, we learn
ed, that on Tuesday last, just as the
passenger train on the Virginia and
Tennessee Railroad had whistled for a
station, some distance East of Bristol,
an unknown man leaped or accidental
ly fell from the platform of car. The
train was stopped as quickly as posi-
BILE, and the man found with his skull
fractured and other serious bruises, and
in an insensible condition. He was
placed in baggage car and taken to
the station, where medical aid was
procured, but with little hope of his
recovery, None of the passengers on
the train knew him, and up to the de-
parture of the train, no one at the
station to which he was carried had
recognized him. He wore green spec
tacles, was well dressed, and made
himself very conspicuous in prone
uading the ladies' car, exhibiting a
sense of .uneasiness or trouble.-Ne'G

U. C. NJ. Co.'s HOTEL,
DUCKTowN, July 18th, 1875.
To the Editors o. the Chronicle:


To tie Editors Of the Chronicle:
The sad and lamentable fate of
Ducktown's inebriate, William KelD
reached home at late hour last even
ing. 1t seems that he had been drink
ing hard for the past two or three
days, and yesterday evening, was
found dead in a field. Not being able to
secure the services of the proper au-
thorities before this morning, it was
necessary to watch the corpse through
the lone hours of night.
DIR. Ketcherside, Sr., was the exam
lining physician, and the verdict rem
dered was that the deceased came by
his death from the effect of strong
drink, assisted by the searching rays
of a MONDAY sum- of which yester-
day was the most severe of the season.
The deceased was between 40 and 80
and leaves larg efamily in destitute
condition.
Several winters ago he was snatched
as if from the very jaws Of death, have
ing laid out one bitter cold night and
was found next morning frozen tight
to the ground, with feet so badly frozen
that both had to be amputated above
the ankle. He was certainly visited
by a terrible retribution from Heaven,
and still he persisted in taking of the
deadly poison" and row he fills a
drunkard's grave. S. J. L.

Died.

Mrs. Margaret G. Carson, daughter
of Jesse Simpson, born Nov. 18th, 1912,
died July 18th, 1875. Mrs. Carson was
an estimable Christian lady, having
been a consistent member of the Bap-
fist Church about twenty years. Earth
has lost noble woman. Heaven has
received another trophy of Divine
grace. She died in the triumphs of
faith. The pure spirit has gone to join
her husband and friends in the chimes
of ineffible bliss.

From which none ever wakes to weep

Increased Wealth of the State of
New York.

A suggestive exhibit of the wealth
of the State of New York is made in
the report of the State assessors which
has been published. From this state
ment, which shows the aggregate
value of real estate and personal prop
erty, and is to be the basis of the next
annual tax, it appears that the increase
of the aggregate valuation now report
ed over the last previous valuation
5000, 900, 900. This is not only the
largest increase ever known in the
State, but it exceeds any previous in
crease in a single year Except in 1866
67) by the enormous sum of $4,000, :
600. The figures of increase in some
of the counties are remarkable. For
instance, in Lewis county the increase
is IVA per cent. and in Schuyler it
reaches 212 per cent.

The value of Christian schools.

Christian civilization is worked and
maintained and largely made by Chris
tian schools, seminaries and colleges.
The value of such schools is forcibly
illustrated in the statement made at
the late anniversary of Mount Holyoke
Seminary, that lis female missiona-
ries have gone to foreign lands from
this institution, Is of them from the
last two graduating closses. One these
missionaries, whose praise il in the
churches, is Mrs. Sarah Jane Rhea, of
Lake Forest, Illinois, at present on a
visit to her friends in her native East
Tennessee. Applications are now on
file at Mount Holyoke for 20 more
missionaries. Cape Colony, Africa,
asks for eight. Several graduates are
already in that field, and have had
great success in Christian work. What
a noble record for single institution
of learning, and what "a chapter it will
fill in the annals of the Church of
Christ when they are written up in
full! And what eternal honors will
encircle the name of Mary Lyon, in
heaven, to whose labors, faith and
prayers the seminary is chiefly in
debted for its existence and character !!

with the bridge system of the West.

Down the A. d Q. Road.

Squire George Byron returned Sat
urday from Tuscaloosa. During his
travels, he talked with merchants,
farmers and others, and made good use
of his eyes. He reports that in Big
and Little Wills Valley the breadth of
wheat sown was large, and the yield
unusually fine. Some good judges of
such masters informed him sthat the
people had enough to bread them for
three years. The grain has been all Sc
cured in good shape. Corn was more
largely planted than in any year since
the war, and the fields look very
promising. Oats were about a half
crop. There has been one-third less
cotton planted than the average, and
the yield promises more bales than any
season since 1860. Mr.. Byron says that
the country, from Valley Head to
Tuscaloosa, will buy little or nothing
in the way of food this year, and, be-
sides, will sell large surplus, The
result is that farmers and merchants
are happy and feeling independent

An Eccrentric Judge,

Judge Keys of Vermont had about
him large number of workmen. A.
morg them there was young man
named Amasa. One day he ordered
Amasa-or as the Judge always called
him Sampson, to cut down a crook,
ed, unsightly tree at the brink of his
mill pond.
The judge stood by, watching the
progress of the work. "Sgmpson'
was, like most young Vermonters, at
home with the axe, and soon reached
the heart ofthe tree two or three
strokes more would suffice. Seeing
the jucge was in a position to be hit
by the limb OF the tree when it fell, he
said
"You had better move, Judge, or
you will be it,"
"Cut the tree right down, Sampson
was the response.
Two more strokes, and then seeing
that unless the Judge moved he would
be hit, sure, Sampson renewed his sug
gestion.
"Cut the tree right down, Sampson
just as the old man tells you,' said tn,
judge.
One mere stroke and the last dow
came the tree and down came the OLE
Judge, also into the water. Sampson
quickly jumped into the water an,
dragged the Judge on shore, his fac
all scratched and bleeding, and nearl,
strangled by his sudden bath.
"Tnat's aight, that's right: Away
do just as the old man tells YOU"
