Tho probability is that permanont truce
has been declared betweon the Baltimore j.
Ohio and Pennsylvania Ilailroad Companies,
to the East. Tho struggle has been long aud
unusually bitter, and it Inns only ondcd now,
perhaps, because tho management Of tho
Baltimore i Ohio hare concluded that they
oaunot maintain 1t longer in Justice to tlom-
selves md their stockholders. MoanwAilo,
they have conferred great service upon tho
community by at1oraing unrrecedentedly low
passenger and freight rates throughout The
soason. II Il hnd not been for this war, 1t is
not improbable that the Wcat would have
suffered very Severely. Tho ughtncss Of tho
money market occasioned by tho indisposi-
ton Of bankors aud capitalists to ad-
vance except on tho most absolute
security, and tho difference between
the East and 1yest relative to the buying and

THE NATIONAL BOARD or TRAD


The National hoard Of Trade began its an
nual session Mt Philadelphia on Tucsday,
Tic President Of tho Philadelphia Board of
Trado, under tho form Of MI address OF vel
come, made wnrn appeal for support for
the inevitable Centennial. Tho annual report
Of tho Executive Committee approves the act
Of the late Congress on tho subject Of cur
rency for banking and future specie-pay-
nlents; this oct, however, they concelo is
imperfect, and they point out one or two
points OF doubtful construction, but
fail to make any suggestions or recommends
tious Of remedial character. On this point
tho report Ia exceedingly indefinite. Reci-
procity is quietly shelyctl.
President FnALEy delivered Il special ail-
dress on transportation. in Which lo ro-
hearsed tho whole story TINT has become rs
familiar as tho story Of {" jack tho Giant
Killer" Tho President reached the conclu-
sion TINT tho average dnty on railroad iron
during tic last forty years Inns operated to
produce cheapncss in transportation md Of
construction, and this conclusion is reached
because the iron WAS purchased with bombs
by companies which had no money. Tic
condemns wntering Of stock as ono grcat
cn,,so for increasing tho cost Of Transports
tion. But, In keaping with tia rest Of the
report, there Is no recommendation Of any
remedy, except ono, which, in tho light Of
tho fact that tt,is nation ia about completing
tho hundrsth year Of its existence, Is simply
ehi!diah. Flo saya:

MT. PLEASANT ITEMS.

While strolling leisurely along one OF
our county roads short time since, our
attention was directed to a flaming ad-
yertisement which we discovered tack
ed 10 a rustic elm. 1t read thus 'LOst
or stolen, one pair of fine skates, with
these initials, w. r., which had been
secreted near the ice pond. Amy infor-
nation concerning said skates will be
thankfully received, and for the return
of the same a handsome reward will be
rendered by w. r., Jr."
Mr.. Thomas Nolen, who is running a
mill for Capt. w. S. Jennings, near here,
met with a serious accident last week.
While assisting at the saw-mill his
hand was caught Ivy the saw, and his
thumb cut of and one of his fingers
badly laCerated. Mr.. NOlen seems to be
unfortunate, having lost an eye several
years ago while engaged in threshing
wheat; straw penetrated the ball and
destroyed the sight entirely. lie is
hard-working man, has large family
and is dependent on his daily labor, and
we are sorry to hear of his sad accident.
Rev. l. w. Grimes, of the Camp
Branch country, says that the hogs are
dying rapidly in that vicinity. Mr.. n
w. Jones has lost nearly all of his. Dis
ease not known, We regret very
much to hear of this, as provisions are
scarce; in fact, more so than we ev6l'
knew in this section before.

CURRENT EVENTS.

Gen. Spinner, Treasurer Ofthe United
States, has resigned. No appointment
to fill the vacancy yet He filed the po-
sition for nearly fifteen years, and is about
the only prominent Republican officer
that has retired from Office untainted.
Spelling Matches are all the go now.
They are having them in the cities and
towns all over the country, They are not
only sources of amusement, but also of
information. There will be one at Ham
ner Hall tonight, for the benefit of the
Methodist church. There will be a
crowded house.
Our State Senator, Representative and
Floater have returned home from their
legislative labora. Esq Glenn and DIR.
Boyd have done well, and deserve the
thanks of their constituents. Esq. Toon
probably represented his Williamson
county constituents in the first part of his
course, but he did not give satisfaction to
his Maury county constituents. Towards
the last, however, he came manfully to the
rescue of State credit, and we render him
thanks in behalfof our people, for that
much.
Two Americans, Moody and Sankey,
are carrying on the greatest revival OF
religion in England that history gives
any account Of Fifty thousand people
are said to have been converted. Mr..
Moody does all the preaching, and Mr..
Sankey sings. Two other great re-
v;valists, White and Bliss, are carrying
ON great reyiyals in America. Recently
they have been IN Kentucky. Allof tie
ministers of Nashville invited them to
come there, and they have consented TO
be there on the 10Th Of April. Mr.. Whit
tie breaches and Mr., Bliss sings Both
are laymcn. 1t is little remarkable
that these wonderful rcvivals of pure and
undeGled religion should be conducted
10y laymcn and not preachers, and by
men from Chicago, the worst city in
America, three Of them being from that
place.

UNDER ONE HEAD.

THE PHILADELPHIA Press is still firing
away at the ex-Confederates in Congress.
We doubt if the editor who pens the arti-
who fought declare the war to be over.
For our part, we believe the ex-rebel
congressman are as loyal as the editorial
Democrats -NdShUiLLe (Rep.) Bulletin.
The editor of the Columbia Herald
and Mail was serenaded by a large crowd
of his friends, one night last week, and
presented with an exceptionally hand
some knife-not of the Bowie style but
for the more peaceful uses of the sane
tum. Knives are considered to be pecu-
liarly appropriated testimonials for cham
pion ugly men, but Horsley happens to
oe about the best-looking editor in the
State-and unmarried, too Union and
AneicaR.
When such nice things are said about
one by friend, it's hard TO correct him,
but we are compelled to say that in this
case he is mistaken. The handsome edi
tor of the Herald and Mail is married.
In his sermon last Sunday, Beecher
said, "The pope of Rome is a good man
He has acted as a good Christian under
the most enormous difficulties. Plus X
and | will sing hymns in heaven together
one of these days, and | expect to have
some sport with him if humor don't die
out in meantime In this proposed
tournament of fun, His Holiness will
rather have the advantage of Henry.
He can twit him with ragged edge, the
gloomy cave, and lots of things, and
Henry will get mad, or what is equally
destructive of sport, will enter into a
paroxysmal explanation.

four years ago the outlet got more or less
choked up, and the surplus water back
ing soon covered this vast tract of coun.
try, in which aqueous condition it has re-
manned ever since, increasing and di-
minishing in area as the season varies
from wet to dry. This lake in literally
alive with fish. l have seen colored boy {
with an ordinary pole cut from the woods,
line not over foar feet long, and fly,
rudely constructed of white and red fan
mel, catch eighty pounds of black bass in
a couple of hours. These fish average
from two to twelve pounds. An eight
pound bass is common. A few days ago
a gentleman residing in Gainville caught
and weighed on Fairbanks scales, in the
presence of a number of Northern visi-
tors here, black bass weighing nineteen
and one quarter pounds. Tradition says
one was caught here last year that weigh
ed twenty-three pounds. All the small
streams flowing into this lake are full of
bass. Day before yesterday l saw three
small boys standing in a stream, about
three feet wide, and may be foot deep,
each armed with piece of hoop iron,
With which they killed, in the half hour /
was present, eight good sized bass. An
other boy of the same party, with two
hushel corn bag made one haul in the
same stream of ten bass.

HERALD AND MAIL.
Friday, April I'D, lss5.
WITHDRAWAL,

This issue dissolves my connection
with The HERALD AND MAIL During TIE
three years and a quarter that was as.
ISOLATED with the office, did my utmost
in assisting to mako it a readable and
standard paper and it is with regret that
bid its readers adieu. My intercourse
with my partners has at all times been
pleasant and agreeable; and tits with
reluctance that | sever the connection.
Coming into the community as a stranger,
and having received from the people
many courtesies and kindnesses, l would
be migrate not to avail myself Of this op-
portunity to express my gratitude. From
this time forward 1 will deYote my entire
timo and attention to the winding up Of
the business of HoRsLEY Bros & FIGUERs,
and the practice of law. l can always
be found at my office in the Whitthorne
Block H. p FIGUERs.
We part with Mr. FIGUERs with regret.
For more than three years he has been
connected with us in the publication OF
this paper, and much Of its financial sue
cess is due to him. He also contributed
greatly to achieve whatever editorial rep
utation the HERALD AND MAIL may have
earned in that time. Mr.. FIGUERs is
young man of bright mind, and consider
able legal attainments, and gives up the
newspaper business to engage in the
practice of the law, in which profession
we believe he will attain a front position.
We are grateful to the patrons of the
HERALD AND MAIL for their liberal pat
ronage in the past, and it shall be our
high ambition to continue to deserve their
favor by making the paper even better
than ever. A. S. HORSLEY
