= The Harry Helm" passed up the
HOlston River last Friday night and re-
turned the following morning. We I'M
derstand there has been a large amount
of corn about six miles from here, near
Carriger's Mill, awaiting some means of
transportation for some time past, and
very probably the Helms trip was on
this business. The river is said to be in
excellent boating condition.
- Our sanctum was made cheerful by
a call last Friday from our handsome
and jovial young friend, Will McSween,
Esq, of Newport. Now that Tom Ma

NAL aspirations. He is brick, worthy
of Judgment in any structure, and com
menced the centennial by renewing his
subscription to the GAZETTE So worth.

Ter for very handsomely printed vol
ume containing the eulogies delivered in
Congress last session on the occasions of
the deaths of Hons. John b. Rice, of II
linois, Alvah CrOcker and Samuel Hoop
er, of Massachusetts, and Samuel f.
Hersey, of Maine.
- The Chattanooga Commercial men
tions that several families in that neigh
borhOod have lost their pork on account
of the weather. We note a Yisi BILE loss
of the same product in at least one fam
lily here, but in our unsophisticated sim
plicity have attributed it more tothe pres
ence of one of Rowe 81 Butte cooking
stoves, and six or ten hearty boys and
girls, than to the weather. VIII any one
bring in another hog
= Superintendent Sherwood, who left
Knoxville a day later than we did, brings
the gratifying intelligence that Col.
TrousdaIe did find the model of that pat
ent railroad switch for which he was
when we left the town. Now |
may he draw the drapery of his couch |
around him and lie down to pleasant |
slumber undisturbed by stiffening dreams |
for "by the prieking of my thumbs, |
wicked this way comes"
- Mcssrs. Harris & Whiteside, the lat
ter formerly of Chattanooga, but recent |
ly a resident of this place, propose to en-
gage in the hardware business in our |
town, and viii open in the Murrell Store /
House, opposite 2. Smith 81 Co. g old /
stand, about the first of the coming
week. We understand these gentlemen
propose to keep a full stock, and of the
latest designs, of Hardware and Agricul-
tural Implements. We are glad to note
this one step more of progress in Norris
town, and trust the new firm may find
their business remunerative and receive
4 liberal share of patronage.
- Capt. Jas p. Evans, who has lived
luite as long and observingly as any man
Of our acquaintance of his age, assured
rs New Years eve that the fruit crop
for the coming year would be governed
largely by the characteristics of New
Y ears morn. If the sun rose clear and
bright, we would have no fruit; but if
he morning was rainy, cloudy, or fog
md dew proceeded the sun, it would in
licate first class fruit year. Five o.
;lock, a. M, Saturday, found us taking
observations from back
porch. The result was very satisfactory.
4 dense fog covered the town and the
rees and shrubbery were bending under
weight of dewy water. So our readers
need lose no sleep over the fruit crop.
We're to have a good one, else Captain
inns sign fails, and that he says has
never yet occurred.
