2 a twenty-five gallon cask of apple brandy
made in 1871. The barrel has one hundred
hoops around it. Joe says he has named
the brandy candy Johnson or Fishermen's
Brandy" and says he will insure any per-

| W. H. TimmOns, Esq, one of our ablest
young lawyers, has obtained charter from
| the Chancery Court for a turnpike to Santa
Fe, and he and his excellent father and
brother will commence at once to grade
the old road as far as the old pike ran. In
summer they will pike it with gravel from
the river and Knob Creek. Some time in
| the near future they will continue the pike
| to Santa Fe, and probably in a few years
| to Prim Springs. This move in the right
direction, and our Ooung friend deserves
the thanks of every person in the county
/ for his enterprise.
| The Nursery, published by John l.. ShO-
rey, 80 Bromfeld street, Boston, is one OF the |
| best magazines for children that we know
of. Each number contains several good il |
Illustrations; it is printed in large type, and |
the contents so graduated, as to meet the |
wants of all children, from those just learn |
ing the alphabet to those in the Third or
Fourth Reader" We advise all our young
friends to send SLIGO to the publishers for a
years subscription.
In the recent death of our friend Mr..
John q. Horsley, senior proprietor of the
He5uld and Mail, this entire community has
met with a severe loss; and we join in the
general lament that has been expressed at
the departure of so excellent a man. At
the time of his death, Mr.. Horsley was a
Magistrate and Chairman of the Maury
County Court, and the faithfulness with
which he discharged official duties was
known and observed by all with whom he
was associated. From long and intimate
acquaintance with the deceased, we regard
it as a privilege to be permitted to speak i'll
the highest term of his social, moral and
religious character, We deeply sympathiZe
with his family in their great bereavement,
and shall endeavor to show our apprecia- 1
ton of his character by following his Chris I
tian example.-Gudrdidn.
We clip the following compliment. AIRY :
notice of Hon. A. NJ. Hughes from the NASH
rifle Bulletin: "Of the holders of Federal pO- ,
sitionS in Tennessee, probably no one de
serves more favorable notice than Hon. A.
NJ. Hughes, u. S. Attorney for the Middle I
District of this State. A man of high social |
position, of spotIess integrity, and decided !
legal acumen, he has commanded the re- ,
spect of his political adveTsaries and re- :
tanned the confidence of his friends. Enter
ing upon the discharge of his duties at a =.
time when Iawlessness was rife all over the
state, his task of bringing offenders to JUS \
ticc appeared not only fruitless but endless. I
\ ct ~ firmness, determination, and great
he has brought offender after I
offender to justice, until now there is not
district in the entire South as free from in 7
lou
over which he has jurisdiction. He enjoys '
the entire confidence of his party, who sin
cerely desire he may be long spared to the A
work he is engaged in. We pay this volun-
tary tribute to Judge Hughes because we
know he deserves it, and we speak from \
growing out of intimate ac-
IuaIntance with the workings of his court
during the past two years. If ali the Ad-
selections of Office-holders
we're as udicious as that of our u. :. AttOr-
ley, the Opposition would have but little n
,eason to rail against the wisdom of our :,
dispensers of official patron a
age "
After the Columbia Silver Band had Il
formed in the procession at the celebration e
at Nashville, the other day, and had played a
few pieces, by-standeT, who had been
watching and listening very attentiveIy, II
a
band was so much superior to the Nashville I
bands after all. al

We are indebted to Capt. o. T. Plummer, ft
Of Lewis county, for copy of the BoStos Ga d
ette and Country Gentleman, dated March Il, =
40, nearly lO5 years ago. 1t contains a
minute account of the difficulty between -
he citizens and soldiers in Boston, which ~
ed to the Revolutionary War. The &C n
,ount reads strikingly like accounts we ii
frequently get from Louisiana, of the strife b
between the soldiers and citizens. "
on Monday Messrs. Black & Moore, liv- h
.Ty men of this place, sent six hundred and l.
wenty dollars to st. Louis for hay and oats. ~
They have sent over a thousand dollars u
nce the first of January. Cotton raisers, A.
make q note of this. /.
