RattIesnake Fails.

These Falls are in Maury county. They
are grand and glorious, falling about seven
The water is clear and very pleasant TO
drink. Last week the young men selected
a party to visit these falls on Thursday last.
thursday daWned, the sun comes forth with
its golden rays, not n speck of cloud to be
seen in the heavens; and sooner than its
rays were glistening in the pearly dewdrop
on the pretty budding flower, buggies were
heard rapidly rafting from door 10 door
gathering together the delightful party.
McsSrS. NJ. &. Mays and lady and WIN. J.
WhitthOrne and lady kindly acted as Chap
erons for the party. BY 7 O'Clock, with gay
spirits and merry laughs, the party moved
in good style from WhitthOrnes corner.
The party was large, pleasant and Jolly, and
was composed of VIM. j. Whitthorne and
lady, NJ. g. Mays and lady, James Smith
Miss Dolly Park, W. p. Woodbridge and Miss

al ~ 'H0 ..rJy but she arrived here too
-.e party reached the falls by lOla
o'clock. The ladies were all looking charm
ingly beautiful, especially those spTingly
dressed. The party was unqucStiOnably the
largest, handSOmest and gayest that ever
visited the falls. They engaged themselves
in different ways, some at cards, Others
shooting, and probably in making matri-
mOnial engagements some. The ladies shot
surprisingly well, and the best shots were
| made by Misses 5. +. and l., H., they hitting
nearest the center. Dinner time came,
"then all was jOllity, feasting and mirth"
The dinner was elegant and far surprising
any ever spread at the falls. 1t was superior
to any we ever saw on such an occasion
After dinner the actions of some couples
We're noticeable. At one time we noticed a
very serious couple down between the falls
and the bluff; another couple was down the
stream under bluff, as they said watching
the minuOms;" a beautiful blonde and es-
cort We're upon the bluff just below the falls;
| and "A brunette and gentleman were seen
above the falls completely hid from obser-
walton; and all of these couples we're in
| tensely interested in conversation, proba-
bly, discussing the weather, but we think
We saw Loves language in their eyes. Pick
nick was not'as pickwickish as usual, but was
| on his ps and as. We highly appreciated the
| dignihed presence of Col. NJ. p, who seemed
| to enjoy the day. The entire party were de-
| lighted with the trip, nothing happened to
| mar the pleasure of the occasion, and as
| they returned home they stopped short
time atSt. Johns Church, viewing It's beautt-
| fol appearance. The party all got home at
| ~ O'Clock, except two couple, and IL is said
| that they did not reach home until the "ygee
| sma' hours, and il is strange, passing strange
| 70 US mat one OF those couples came in on
| laski pike. The day viii he long remem.
| Defed as one of pleasure, and the party are
! very thankful 20 Messrs. WoldrldRe and
| Pillow for getting up the party, and for
| most of the pleasure of the day they feel
| themselves ever grateful to the pleasant
| and kind chaperons. M,
