WE publish the following commu-
nication signed by several citizens of
Cheatham county, and suppose they
state nothing but the facts in the case.
This being so, we are of opinion that
Cheatham county is entitled to the
man. and according to the primary
election vote Mr.. Moody should be
that man
EDITORs CHRONICLE: At meet
ing of the Democratic Executive Com
mittee of Cheatham county, it was or
dered by said committee, at our coun-
ty election, that primary election
should be held to find out who was the
choice OF the people for Representa-
tives ofthis county, Dickson and Hous-
ton. The election was held in accord
ance with the instructions from said
committee. r. H. Moody, Esq, hav-
ing received a large majority of the
votes polled, consequently was the
choice of the people. Our Ashland
ring sprung a pOw-wow on Monday,
and after 0anVassing around, finding
out who were Moody's friends and who
were in favor Dunn, after getting the
clan all Dunn men, they, after mature
deliberation, no one participating but
Dunn men, have brought him, Mr..
Dunn, forward as the nominee of the
party, when at the same time Mr.. Dunn
is not the choice of this people, nor
will the people of this county support
him. If Mr.. Dunn had received a
majority of the votes in the primary
election, there would not have been
convention. Mr.. Moody is Cheat
ham county man, and will reflect credit
upon the people whom he will repre-
sent after the November eleetiOR.

Lewenback tells us OF an insect
seen with the microscope, of which
twenty-seven million would only
equal a mite.
Insects of various kinds may bs
seen in the cavities Of grain oi
sand.
Mould is a forest of beautiful trees
with the branches. leaves and fruit.
Butterflies are fully feathered.
Hairs are hollow tubes.
The surface Of our bodies is cav.
cred with scales like fish; a single
grain of sand would cover one hun.
dred and fifty Of these scales, and yet
a scale covers five hundred pores
Through these narrow openings the
perspiration forces itself like water
through sieve.
Each drop of stagnant water con.
tains a world of living creatures
swimming with as much liberty as
whales in the sea.
Each leaf has a colony of insects
grazing on it, like COWS on a mead

Relics Of Witchcraft.

Relics OF witchcfaft are few and
far between in these matter of-fact
centennial days. existing principally
in history or legendary tales. But
one Of our old friends, Mr. John Pull
ling, of Harris township, this county,
has informed us of a recent discovery
of evidences of this "lost art" in this
vicinity. A neighbor OF his while
splitting large sweet oak into rails,
one day last week, foud buried i'm its
very center an unique collection of
human hair and finger nails, wrapped
in a small rag, which some Indian or
white faced witch had probably
placed there many years ago. A hole
had been bored in the young tree,
the hair and finger nails inserted and
the hole plugged up. The date of
this transaction can only be judged
from the growth OF the tree. This
shows that eighteen years have
elapsed, as eighteen layers of wood
encircle the plug. The articles are
all perfectly preserved, as a natural
result Of being in Theoretically
sealed receptacle.-South Bend Reg

This is an age Of reading. The
world is full OF reading matter. The
press teens with such, and there is
no lack of this kind OF information
and these sources of improvement.
And they are precious sources indeed.
For it is much better to be wise than
to be mighty and rich. Riches often
flee away and leave us alone and des-
titute: but knowledge and wisdom
are friends. They stand by us and
remain with us when all other sources
or means of entertainment have gone.
How then are we using these means?
How readest thou?
1. We should read slowly and care
fully. 1t is not the rapidity with
which we get through book or pa
per that makes us learned or wise,
but it is the amount Of attention
which we expend upon our books and
papers which aids us very largely in
making our reading a profit.
2. We should read with reflection.
We must think on what we read, and
thus master the thoughts pursued,
and in a certain sense, make il our
own. This is one great object Of
reading. We do not and We ought
not to be slaves to the opinions Of
others. We ought not to read simply
for the purpose OF memorizing the
thoughts which others have recorded,
but we should use these thoughts as
suggestive of other thoughts which,
when formed, will be our own, be-
cause they have passed through our
own minds, and are the result of our
own careful reflections.
3. 1t is very good plan when we
read to take notes. This will not on
ly aid our memory to retain what we
read, but it will make us exact. We
will, through this means, make our
selves precise in our thinking, and
will accomplish a great deal in the
way of getting Christian
! Standard.
