a SingnIar Discovery.

The Charlottesville Chronicle says {:
We learn that within the last two
weeks q singular discovery has been
made ut the house Of Jesse Garth,
for many years deceased. II is said
that distinct and accurate likeness
of Mrs. Garth who has been dead for
twenty years, can be seen on pane
of glass in the upper sash of one of
the windows, presenting very much
the appearance Of q photograph neg
ative. The discovery is said to have
been made by woman who imagin-
cd some one was watching her
through the window, and went inside
to see who it was. We gather these
facts from DR.. Charles Brown, who
has himself seen the singular picture.
DR.. b. remembers that about twenty
years ago, Mr.. Garth told him that
his wife, while standing ut that win
dow, was stunned by sudden flash
of lightning, and the Doctor theory
is that the outlines Of her features
were photographed on the window
pane at that time. The youngest
daughter of Mr.. Garth, and others
who were well acquainted with Mrs.
Garth, have seen the picture and
pronounced it a striking likeness.
1t is said to be more distinct about
8 o'clock in the morniug and three
. in the evening than at any other
time of the day.

beef in, it is a pretty rough go. and
my advice to the people of Hamblen
would be, g go slow for there's a hen
on r. l would just as lief be an old
fogy in East Tennessee as a dried
up man in Texas. The last time /
was to see Cousin Bob could count
every rib in his body through his
clothes, and it took three of him to
make q shadow. Now, boys Of ever
dear old Hamblen, don't let any one
advise you in regard to your future
home. but play a lone hand. It's
pretty much luck any how, and if
you make choice of a hard bed lay
on it.
One thing / came near forgetting:
we Texas boys don't believe much
in the negro therefore we are all
peaceable and enjoy Cousin Bob's
prairie country the very best we can,
and wade the mud in wet weather
for livelihood. ] have never seen
yet a single human track in Colin
county, for the mud sticks to their
feet and they invariably pull the
plug up and you can't tell whether
it was COW or horse. / agree with
Cousin Bob about coming to this
country to get wife. If they in
tend to live here peaceably they had
better never bring a woman from
that country to this to keep house
for in muddy weather all the houses
look as though you had penned geese
in them, and this don't suit Ten
nessee woman, however the boys may
like it.
just now my y.ife Informs me that
my daily allowance of corn dodgers
and blue beef is ready and bids me
to the festive board. So for the pre-
sent adieu. Respectfully Yours,

To the Editor of the ATorristown Gazette:
j notice in the GAZETTE of the 9th
instant q letter from Cousin Bob
Kirk, of this county. in which he
rather enthusiastically advises our
old. Hamblen county friends. about
the superiority Of this State. / feel
it my duty to notice something's that
Cousin Bob dikn't allude to, though
it may have the appearance of con
tradicting very materially the beau
tiful stories he tells. And first. it is
strange that Cousin Bob should have
forgotten to mention his nearest
town, from which he lives only about
two miles distant. Lebanon is the
name it is called by. but five miles
from its location it is unknown, and
I suppose Bob felt little modest
about it. Now / don't want to hurt
Cousin Bob's feelings, for my mama
and his are good neighbors. and both
live in old Hamblen yet; but l tell
you candidly, he has puffed this
county and its towns powerfully. /
Judge from the tone of his letter that
he had just masticated about two
pounds of Texas blue beef and. six
pound sweet potato. and could sit
sit still on account of it. Or, as this
is q windy region, it may be Cousin
Bob was severely wind struck, eaus-
ing him to be windy himself. Again !:
there is something not right in his
report relative to the water Of this
county. Myself and neighbors have
been hauling water from two TO three
miles for she last six weeks, and I'll
venture the assertion that Cousin
Bob hasn't had a drink of water for
two months but what he has had to
strain through Jeans rag to get the
wiggle-tails out of. Talk about ask
ing Hamblen county folks to come
out and live on such beverage The
truth is pretty thing. l tell you !;
and when it comes 10 getting q fell

AN analysis of one hundred and
nineteen separate samples of ale and
porter sold over the counter by pub
licans in various parts of London
shows such a percentage of alcohol
that it is obvious that a person who
drinks two quarts of fourpenny ale
or porter consumes more alcohol
than is contained in half q pint of
brandy or whisky. This will, no
doubt, astonish a good many people
who are apt to think a couple of
quarts of ale a day quite a moderate
allowance, and when they find intox-
ication from beer among the lower
classes so common are apt to attri-
butte it to some mysterious adultera-
tion of beer and ale. The London
Sanitary Record. however. says the
main adulteration of ale and porter
practised in London is the addition
of sugar or treacle and water, and
the lamentable frequency of intoxi-
cation is mainly due to excess of
quantity rather thau to defect in
quality of beer.

~ The Richmond Whig puts the
matter in a new light: president
Grant is, of course, aware of the eff
feet his new crusade will have upon
the negro population Of the South.
The negro is an important element
in the politics Of the future, ana the
party which can hold him well in
hand will be sure Of considerable
strength. His enmity towards the
Catholic Church is we'll known, as
also the fact that there is bitter hos
.tility between him and a large por-
tion of the membership Of that
church. Therefore his bigotry, ig-
norance and intolerance are to be
depended on in q religious contest.
AS the negroes can no longer be
combined or massed on the old
issues, and already show a disposi-
tion to fig off and scatter, this ques-
tion may perhaps have been raised
for the purpose Of keeping them to-
gether, while at the same time large
calculations are based upon the
well-llnown religious prejudices of
the white race. There may be moth
ing in this, but the matter is worth
thinking about"
