We saw in the American OF last week COM
plimentary notice of Judge Marks. 1t is
conceded on all hands that his Honor
Judge w. S. McLemore is making one of
the best Judges ever on the beach in this
State. He drives matters with vim and
makes everybody work about him. The
State has not in its borders, two'more con-
scientiOus and impartial officers than this
gentleman and the Attorney General, JOS
eph H. RUSSELL Franklin Review.
We are reliably informed that Mrs Re
becCa +. Amis is now teaching in tie Fe-
male School at Franklin. Mrs. AmlS was
raised and educated in Maury County, and
is one of the best informed and most ac-
cOmplished teachers that our county ever
produced. The people of Franklin are very
fortunate in securing her services, and we
only apprehend that her merits will be so
appreciated there, that her native county
may, for too long period, be deprived OF
one fits brightest characters in literature,
and one of its most genial and fascinating
companions in the social circle.
-PresbyterianS must never say "chick-
en-" to Methodists. One of their commits
siOnerS to the late Synod was seen coming
up the road from Columbia to Pulaski,
bringing couple of chickens with him,
and very small ones at that We can prove
this by Conductor Eppersen, and Rev. c..
Foster Williams, himself, the prOvidential
man who had the chickens aboard. We
will suppose that having reflected that he
was coming to the plentiful capital of fer
tile Giles, and OF course feeling no misgtv-
rian birds to Perry BayIess, at Reynolds

Last week Colonel Francis Marion Law
ender Mister James Knox Polk McEwen
! and Mister John Albright wilkins went
| attend a lawsuit of theirs against o well
known citizen of that region, LO and be
hold! when the justice OF peace took his seal
| upon the awful wOOl-Sack two lawyers APP
| peared for the defendants one from COlu m
| bia and one from Centrevtlle. Nothing un
| daunted at this formidable legal array
1 Squire Lavender drew his maiden sword
and fieShed ii in the cause OF McEwen X
| Co. The lawyers squirmed and twisted
| but all in vain, the Squire had them. His
speech utterly discounted the astute attor-
neys, and obtained a 500 Judgment for the
plaintiff. The report of this triumph o
Col. l.. enhances his chances for the PreSl
| dency in lS76.-LFrankltn Review.
