WOODLAND FARM. June z

WOODLAND FARM, June 18th.
Mr.. GEo. CHILDREss, Columbia-SiG; |
have hoped for several days to get to CO.
lumbia, but various engagements have
prevented. In reply to your postal card
asking for my special premium, will say
that | wish to give a premium of ($20)
twenty dollars in silver plate for the best
and largest exhibition of flowers and
shrubs in pots and boxes; said flowers to
be entered the first day of the Fair and
remain until it closes; said flowers to be
owned in one family. This premium is
not intented for professional (men) gar
deners, but Tor the ladies of our county.
| hope we will have fine display of flow
ers. The ladies, | think, will do their
duty. Our fall Fair must be the very
best ever held in the county. Urge our
papers to write about the Fair and adj
wise everyone to begin. | have just re-
ceived an imported Cotswold Buck, bred
in England bought him in Canada. He
weighed in his light cage 43j pounds.
Hope also to be able to show our $500,
gold bull the property of Gibson,
Cockerell and Noel, 18th Duke of Hill
hurst" He will probably be shown on
the day cattle are exhibited he will not
compete for a premium; will only be
shown that every one may have a look.
Respectfully,
THOM,s GIBSON.

States. and as all Southern people have
that happy faculty OF making all around
them feel at home, they certainly exert
that talent here. Capt. TowneT and
his efficient clerks, +. @ PAynter aid
DIR. ID. ID. Oats, make the office agreeable
| and all things connected with II. Ihelr
efforts to give satisfaction are unlimited :.
The services OF Mr.. Ed Brown, lato OF
| that glorious old Hotel the MOntgomN
cry Exchange" as steward, are secured,
| He is as near perfection in the culinary
art, as any man living, and Is the righ'
man in the right place. The charming
and accomplished Mrs. Towner presides
| in the parlors and makes all up stairs
happy who bask in her smiles. On last
Friday night banquet was given In
honor of the members of the Press Wis
ting there, and many were the happy
toasts that passed the rounds, OF course
being inspired by the presence of the
ladies, champagne flowed like streams
of many fountains, and various and
sundry were those who fell by the way
side. We noticed an epitaph on one
who had gone down Ton the floor which
were these few lines:
"Remember friends:as you pass by;
AS you are now, so once was l."
We thought this touching, and with
a few hasty brushes with our coat-tail
and passed on, being so sore OF heart at
seeing this noble youth. The ladies, we
can say without any exception were the
most charming that has been DOR lot to
fall in with, for many years Mrs. Col. w. |
charmed all who had the good fortune
of hearing her sing, and may she live
many, many years and keep the same |
sweet voice that gladdens the hearts OF |
those who have the good fortune OF
being near her. We feel safe in ex,
pressing thanks in behalf of the mems |
bers of the press to this kind and ac.
commodating lady who added great Joy |
to them while there. The Huntsville |
string band furnishes, the music and |
such music would cause the great in,
valid to "caper nimbly," JeH Kizer, |
COL, that most elegant and courtly old |
ball room director, who will always |
have everything in ship-shaps and |
give preference to the ladies always, |
presides on all occasions and his figures |
in the dance are perfectly exquisite. He |
carries one back a thousand years. |
Capt. Towner has a pack OF good deer |
hounds and guns for the use of the com
pany, game is plentiful and very fine |
sport can be had at any time. Elegant
bath rooms, either warm or cold baths,
and to hear the bath keeper Bob" talk
of the curiosities and properties of the
waters, would interest anyone. He
teaches the people. To Blount Springs
Capt. Towner and his lovely wife, and
the handsome and elegant ladies we say,

could not be caught. They told him it had
broken tnnumerable hooks and lines, and
had become such terror to all the juven-
lie anglers Otthe neighbOrhOOd, that they
dared not fish in that hole. Mr.. Griffith
told him that he could catch him, and they
mounted horse, fixed his reel and pole,
put on two snoods, hooked on a fine club
ninnow, and rode into the stream at the
head of the famous hole. A large crowd
assem- bled on the bank to witness the en-
counter. When the minnOw reached the
place where the ripple was the strongest
and the waves the highest, the old trout
made tremendous lunge at it. The appa-
ration was so sudden and the fish so large
thaI u. TOOK PUCK ague, and pulled the
minnOw away from the fish; Whereupon
the crowd on the bank laughed him to
scOrn. When he had recovered from his
buck ague," he threw out again, and this
time the old trout seized the minnow and
struck off down the stream like harpoon-
ed whale. Like good, but not scientific,
angler, he gave him line, and he ran to the
end of the deep hole, when he turned and
went up again. Mr.. Grinith kept tight
line on him, put the "brakes" on him, like
on railcar going down hill. Finally Mr..
Griffith felt him SlaCken his grin, and he
Just threw his pole across his shoulder and
rode away from the creek, and pulled up
on the sand-bar the biggest trout ever
caught in Tennessee on a pole. The natives
shouted aloud. The trout weighed over
ten pounds and measured thirty-nine in
ches. MIN Williams says there is fifteen |
pound trout in Buffalo, and he wants us o

The elevation of degree mark on the st. Paul
bridge pier guages show the Mississippi to be
n feet above Lake Superior.
Want of time permits me from condensing
much that might be Of service, or more partic-
ularly my views, upon this great subject Of
cheap transportation.
Believing, gentlemen Of the Senate, you are
in full accord with me, that this great
Northwest demands, not only State aid in
developing our natural resources. But the
general government in her internal improve
ment system should through our Senators
and Representatives in Congress, claim and
make known, our natural outlets and inlets
until our prayers are granted for improving the
same.
We have memorilized Congress year after
year through our Senators and Representatives
t., have this important thoronghiare brought
before the public by preliminary survey.
Our interests have ever been ignored-we
have applied again and again for aid, viewing
this government enterprise. While appro-
priatlon has succeeded appropriation for our
,neighbor cities, magnificent grants of land
has been given our State, noble has been the
endowments from Congress to our Minnesota.
But this important connecting link has been
| from time to time overlooked. | call upon
this Senate to aid us and bring before the pub
lie this grand project, and this rs
Legislature will hand down tt
this and coming generations, renown that
might be as honorable as has ever been be-
slowed upon New York through her worthy
Dewitt Clinton.
