The Harrv Helm.


The Chattanooga Commercial of the
Gath gives this satisfactory account of
the trial trip of our new French Broad
packet The little steamer Harry Helm
made her trial trip last evening. The
intention was to have started at four
O'Clock, but steam was not raised until
half past six. The neat little craft steam
ed down to the rolling mill and returned
to the city and passed up as far as the
Beck farm. The machinery worked
well, and everything attending the trial
passed off quite satisfactorily.
The Helm is one hundred feet long;
twenty feet beam; depth of hold three
feet; depth of hold three feet. She draws
light twelve inches water at the center
line of her keel; ten inches at the sides;
Is a side wheeler, and uni up stream re-
markedly fast. Her entire cost is "a, 800.
Hull, cabin and upper works built by
Capt. Murray, of Kingston, at cambridge.
The engine and all the machinery was
built and put in position by Thos. Web
ster, of this city, and of course is an en-
tire success The engine is 40-horse
power, Of superior finish, and works like
a charm. Mr.. Webster was on board
yesterday, experimenting the working
of the engine, and was fully satisfied
with the test, as was also the owner of
the boat. The Helm is intended for the
French Broad trade, from Knoxville to
cambridge, and as she can carry a good
load on a heavy dew, she ought to do a
good business, even on that shoaly,
treacherous stream.

OBITUARY..


Mrs. COrneIia LafTerty,
Wife of Esq. John Laferty, of Granger
Co, Tenn, died June 23d, 1875, in the
51st year of her age. For more than
thirty years she has been the devoted
wife of her husband; the light of his
household, and truly, this was an I'M
clouded light. as he and many others a
testify. She has ever been the counsel
or of his mind, and the comforter of his
heart. He deeply feels his loss; in his
heart he says, "a true wife gone, and
the love of my youth" ga true wifei
Alasl Who is able to estimate the worth
of a wife that is true. But there are
those who called her mother; the dear
est of names. Motherl Oh, who can
fathom that endearing title; who al
measure the emotions that rise as we
whisper, mother is gone.'' Dear chill
dren, weep not; no doubt while the low
ing form of your mother sleeps in a
grave on the hin, her spirit, freed from
earthly cares, is basking in the sun light
of heaven. She is a saint now, and ere
this, she has drunk Of the water Of life,
and bathed in its limpid wave as it flows
by the throne of God. Wen do you re-
member how much she loved singing
while she was yet on earth; she is now
singing with the angels. No doubt she
remembers "the beautiful gate" and
perhaps she is standing at the beautiful
gate waiting and watching for you.
Hence W. say weep notf your loss is her
eternal gain.
Her Affections were of the severest
kind. During the last eighteen months
of her life she has been passing through
a dark night of afliction; but the night
is now past, and the light of heavens
eternal day has dawned upon her soul.
On Wednesday morning at four minutes
past five O'Clock, she emerged through
the gate of death from the gloom of this
into the marvellous light of the city of
God. Her body has been consigned to
the grave; and as the clods of the
''hill' began t. rumble upon. the cover
ing of her coffin, we sang:
'tShe shah sleep, but not forever;
There VIII DO . glorious dawn
We shall meet 10 part, no never
In the resurrection morn"
Obi there will be many joyful meetings
in the resurrection morn. The glorious
meetings of that day can be better
imagined than described. The writer
expects to meet sister Lafferty there.
Our acquaintance here was short, but
we will renew It in the resurrection.
then it viii be continued for ever. She
had faith in Jesus, and expressed a hope
of going to heaven.
We s~ympathize deeply with the friends
of the departed. May the God of all
comfort them in their bereavements.

An Invaluable Travelling Conn
DaniOn.

Change of climate, water or diet Is apt to induce
harrassing and often dangerous diseases. The
three changes combined are fatal 60 thousands Of
emigrants every year. IL IT mot, then. OF the last
Importance TO know that Hostetteris Stomach Bit
tera are an absolute preventive Or the hurtfaI cpne
sequences arising from these causes TTavsleras
voyagors, and emigrants 70 new countries cannot
be too often reminded Of the fact that this agrse-
able vegetable tonic Is the most reIiable safeguard
against disorders to which they are TAR more fabIs
than the habitual denizens Of healthy regions.
The primal effect of the unwholesome atmosphere
which produces what are called malarious fevers,
Is to depress and debflitate the system. The body
then becomes an easy prey to the malignant prin-
cipls in the air. Il IL manifest, therefore, that the
surest way TO syoid all epidemic and endemic ma
ladies Of an i~ntermittent type, is TO counteract tina
weakening tendencies OF miasma by artificial I'M
vigoration. That Hostetter's Stomach Bittars is

The FOurth at KnOxviIIe.


Mayor Staub by proclamation in the
Knoxville Sunday papers takes the re-
sponsibility bull by the horns and pro-
claims that Monday, July 9Th, win be
observed as the national jubilee day; and
we gather from the Press and Herald that
elaborate preparations are being made
for an unusually attractive programme
on the occasiOn-the reading of the Dec
l~aration of Independence, an Grafton by
a distinguished gentleman, a parade of
the Dickinson Light Guards, and the o.
Conner Zuaves-as well as the appear
ance of a uniformed companie of we
horrible artillerie." At night, the grand
est display of fire works ever presented
in that city will be given under the di-
rection and management of those expe-
rienced and well known pyrotecnicians,
Messrs. James D. Cowan and E. s. Shep-
ard. Preparations for an immense au-
dience of rural visitors are making, and
all may expect a most cordial reception.
The different railroads will carry visitors
there and back at reduced rates, and we
hope all who can spare the time and
money will give one day to the grand
reunion and general hearty shake up"
of dormant patriotism ndi~nervated feel
ings on the occasion.

Bean Station and Cumberland
Gap Turnpike.

We published last week q letter from
our esteemed friend DIR. Wilkinson OF
Thorn Hin, IN which he rather sharply
criticises the law passed by the recent
Legislature, in regard to this road. as
well as it's execution by the board of
commissioners.
1t is subject Of regret to ms, that
there should be dissatisfaction among
those interested about this matter; for
we cannot conceive that they have juss
! grounds for Dissatisfaction we are
not greatly mistaken, The lazy was intro
duced and passed owing TO two petit
tions, one from Claiborne county, signed
by citizens along the line Of road, and
one numerousIy signed by citizens living
In the vicinity of Thorn Hill.
If there Ii one thing that the people
along this road, north of the mountain,
need, worse than any other, it seems 70
us hat that thing is, a good road leading
to the nearest railroad station. Our ac-
q~uaintance with the facts IN the case is
that it was mot possible 20 get an appro-
pTiation 20 make the road good. It wa
only possible to pass sucha law as would
enable the people, without being over
burdened with labor, to make their road
good. This the Legislature attempted
to do. 1t gave them about double the
number of hands 70 work the road with
out putting more militia duty on any
body along tie road than the people al
over the State are generally accustomed
to do.
1t secured TO them a gate in Claiborne
to help keep up the rough places with
out imposing gate fees on the people in
that county. It gave the commissioners
option to establish a gate in Hamblen or
not, and they, it seems, have decided
not to do 80. Certainly this ought mot
to displease our friends about Thorn
Hill.
Under the circumstances, we hope the
people along the line, are not so averse
to working six days per annum on this
road, as the Doctor thinks they are We
give them credit for more of public
spirit than this.
The Doctor intimates that some of
IA pCOPAC q SOAh5 " Ia" aOOdb Abs
hope not. The commissioners have seen
fit not to put a toll gate in Hamblen-
This was at their option, and ought to
please the people over there who would
pay the toll. They nave Tor rather the
law has) changed the terminus to Morris
town. We hope this is not ~displeasing
to our friends over the mountain. They,
it seems, have called for additional labor
and additional hands under the law. If
this is the difficulty we must be allowed
to say that those who make the trouble
about it are in opinion only ''smiting
the hand hat would give them bread"
If our Thorn Hill friends were to seek
our advice on the subject, we would say
to them, double your number of hands
under the law, double the humber of
days work to the hand, double your gate
fees by the additional gate, and make@a1
road that you can get a wagon along
without doubling your teams.

ITEMS
From the Horse Shoe and Vicinity

To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
AS we have not seen any ~eommunica-
tions in your valuable paper from this
particular locality, 1 take this opportu-
nifty of sending you such items of inter
est as the occasion affords.
We have nothing particularly new
down here in Granger, but thought that
probably some of your many readers
might desire to hear from this section of
the country.
Almost everything inthe farming line
looks prosperous and encouraging. The
greater part of the wheat harvest here is
finished. The wheat promises more than
an ordinary yield-much better than the
most sanguine hoped for a few months
since.
General prosperity seems to be smil-
ing on this community. The general
health is exceedingly good for this sea-
son of the year.
We nave an enterprising people, who
believe in keeping well nigh up with
civilizations onward march. They are
waking up to their duty in the moral
world. We have within our midst two
very prosperous Sabbath schools, known
as the Baptist and Methodist schools
The W schools are trying to cultivate
the moral intellect of more than one
hundred persons. The Baptist school
numbers about fifty, and the Methodist
about sixty scholars. We heartily wish
boil schools suecess. and that they NAV
be the means of doing much good. We
often wonder why parents do not mani
fest greater interest in the future, as well
as the present, welfare and happiness of
their children Do they stop to consid-
er the responsibility that rests on them
in the care of their children?
There is some talk of a Grange being
organized in our neighborhood. We
think this a move in the right direction.
We have had a school &C. Cane Spring
this summer, which viii close next week.
The Z" spelling match" fever struck us
some time back, but it is getting thin.
Among other pleasant things to be
seen in our community is the smiling
countenance Of Uncle Billy Tate, who
