that region for the next few days, as
| Charley was never known to miss except
one time while chasing the wild noun
tain deer near Warm Springs. This is
not good day for writing about ducks,
nevertheless we hope to be able to re-
port further on the achievements of the
hunters. 80 - osaTsNk e.

We had pleasant visit last Thurs
day evening from that prince of clever
gentlemen, Hal. @. Gillespie, represen-
tative of the well known and prosperous
| grocery and commission house of Coffin,
Martin g. Co., Knoxville. The Colonel
| is in the enjoyment of excellent health,
buoyant with hopes of increased com
mercial prosperity to the country, and
enthusiastic in proclaiming the capabil-
tiles of his house to supply East Ten
nessee and the adjacent country, not
only with the best of groceries, but with
Clover, Timothy, Hungarian, German
smillet and Herds grass seeds as desired.
- Albert Hixon, of Greene county,
who it is said has heretofore enjoyed the
respect and confidence of his neighbors,
recently eloped with horse and mule
and wife belonging to Mr.. James Keller,
his neighbour. 1t was the horse and mule
that Br Keller objected to Hixen riding
in an unlawful manner, and so pursuit
was made and the culprit was arrested
at Knoxville, and taken back to Greene
county one day last week. The horse
and mule were disposed of by Hixon be-
fore reaching Knoxville; but what be-
came of the woman, who is the wife of
respectable citizen and the mother of
one child, both of whom she abandoned
for Hixon, the local papers do not state,
nor does any one seem to care.
And still our troubles accumulate
and our Christian patience is tested. No
sooner do we silence the sonorous grunt-
ings of the old pOrker at Fair Garden,
than here comes the " Striped Pig" of
the Springfield Record, squeaking from
under the arm that he'll migrate to Ken
lucky and stay with the legislature of
that State rather than exhibit at Phila-
delpilia if amnesty is not extended to
jeff Davis. 1t is assuming an obvious
appearance to us that in that memorable
rush to the sea some of the swine poss-
essed of the devil failed to reach its
deadening waters.
With the new year, the managers
of the Knoxville Foundry and Machine
Company reorganized their association.
Ex- Mayor, Peter Staub, was admitted
member, and made President of the
Company. Messrs. Rogan, Kelly s. Co.,
the originators and successful managers
of the establishment, are consolidated in
the Knoxville Foundry and Machine
Company, and will hereafter be the bet
ter enabled to devote their energies and
extend their usefulness in developing the
rapidly growing iron interests of this
section of the State. The Company have
already purchased an eligible location in
Knoxville, and will at once commence
ings for the successful prosecution of
their increasing business. These are the
kind of industries that can alone give
us permanent wealth and prosperity.
- A temporary excitement lit up the
faces of few of our business men last
Thursday by the circulation of report
that Maj. w. P. Elliott, the indefatiga-
bic President of the Rogersville and JEFF
ferson railroad, had disposed of that
greatly crippled artery of commerce to
town All efforts of GAZETTE commits
sioner failed to find any substantial foun-
dation for the rumor. The only move
in real estate or stocks officially record
ed that day, so far as he could ascertain,
consisted in an undivided interest in a
thoroughbred quadruped of the genus
eqat1s dsinus, transferred by wellknown
shearer of fortune to one of our most
popular and efficient county officers /;
and even this accomplished and beauti-
full and useful beast is now offered for
sale, as will be perceived by reference to
our advertising columns.
Besides this being Leap Year, and
consequently a good one for our lady
friends, there are a few other interesting
facts that are worth remembering. For
instance, Easter Sunday falls on April |
18th, Ash Wednesday being March LIST, |
and Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday, Febru-
airy 18th. The sun will be eclipsed the |
25th March the and 18th September. The |
first is an annular one, perfect ON a line |
from Yaneouver's island to the north |
west shore of Hudson's and partial in |
this eoantry. The second Is a total one, |
invisible on this continent. The earth |
was nearest the Sun January 2, and win |
be December S1st, and farthest July 1st-
There win be two eclipses of the moon, |
the first occurring March 9th r after 10 r. /
m. and the other, September Sd, is for /
the benefit of the fellows ON the other |
side of our little world. Venus will be |
an evening star until July 14th, and rise
before the sun the remainder Of the year.
Mars will " evening it, to August 18th,
and then follow Venus. Saturn will do |
IKE Mars until February nth. then ac- /
