State Episcopal Convention.

Judge Tyler and Mr.. Polk john
son were in Chattanooga last week,
attending the State convention OF
the Protestant Episcopal Church.
They return highly encouraged as
to the prospects and present condi-
ton of the Episcopal Church in
Tennessee. The principle question
discussed was the establishment of
s'rural deansn and district cOnvoca-
lions in the State. The Office of ru-
raj dean is an English institution
and is intended to aid the Bishop in
the administration of the diocese.
Considerable discussion arose and
the question is, we believe, at pres
ent dropped. Much interest was
excited by the presence of the Rev.
John B. Mcconnell at the conven-
ton; who is a colored minister
from Memphis of great intelligence
and piety. Our friends represent
him as having preached an admira-
BILE sermon during the convention
and was aided by the other minis
tiers, and a large congregation of
white and colored persons attended.

The Academy Commencement.

The following is the programme
of the commencement exercises of
the GAINESVILLE Female Academy:
FRIDAY NIGHT, JUNE l, 8 O'CLOCK, SHARP.
The beautiful operetta, "Laila :" directed
by Miss Baskette. Tickets, Is cents.
SUNDAY, JUNE 3.-Rev. w. NJ. Leftwieh, D.
d., Will preach the commencement SER
mon in the Methodist Church, l01a O'Clock
A. NJ.
MONDAY NIGHT, JUNE 4, s O'CLOCK, SHARP.
Grand Concert; directed by Miss Hall.
Tickets, . cents.
THURSDAY NIGHT, 8 O'CLOCK, SHARP.-The
Senior Glass essays read and diplomas
conferred.
The admittance fees to the con-
certs are to be applied to making
additions to the philosophical and
chemical apparatus.
The musical portion Of these eX-
ercises is thing which we claim to
know something about. A little
bird has whispered in our ear, and
it was a tuneful little whisper too,
that something beyond any previ-
Gus attractions may be expected.
Our citizens are well acquainted
with Miss Halls musical abilities,
and her taste and judgment in di-
recting such entertainments. Miss
Basket is less known to us at pres
ent, but she only needs to be seen
and heard by so appreciative pub
lie as that of GAINESVILLE, to extort
the homage of their esteem and adj
miratiOn.
The Academy Hall will of course
be crowded as it always has been.
A word to young GAINESVILLE; a
large number of the audience go
there to hear the music, if therefore
you have anything to say to that
audience of one, which you may
have selected for the evening, and
if it cannot be possibly deferred,
take a promenade with her in the
Academy grounds, say what you
have got to say, and return to the
hall between two pieces of music,
take your seat and limit the rest of
your discourse to the language of
the eyes.

The Southwestern Presbyterian uni
YerSity

We have to acknowledge the po-
lite attention of the two literary so
cieties of this institution, in. send
ing US complimentary invitations to
their commencement celebrations.
These are arranged for June and 6.
On the former day the oratorical es-
says of the two societies are to be
given, the speakers being Messrs.
w. NJ. Cox of Mississippi, and J.
W. Green of Tennessee, for the
Washington Irving Society, and
Messrs. c.. III. Chamberlin of La,
and A. S. Caldwell of Tenn, for
the Stewart Society. We have had
the opportunity of testing the ora
torical powers of all these young
gentlemen, and can assure our read
ers that the high reputation of our
University is not going to suffer in
their hands. On the 9Th, the socie-
ties are to be addressed by the Hon.
J. Proctor Knott of Kentucky. 1t
is of course needless for us to call
attention to the qualifications of the
great Kentucky statesman and ora
tor, are they not written in the
book of the Chronicles of the 45th
Congress +? Everybody and good
many besides will want to hear
him, and be thankful to the young
gentlemen of the University for in
ducing him to come here.
The official programme of the col
lege exercies proper will, we pre-
sumo be given next week.

These gentlemen deal extensively
in agricultural implements and upon
an examination of their stock we
note the following: Woods Self
Reaper Of which they have now in
thefield over 200 in this and adioin-
ingcounties. The Woods Harvester
and Binder which by one operation,
cuts the grain and binds it securely,
thereby preventing waste and obvi-
ating all hand work; this is the
"coming" machine. The Woods
Iron Mower is perfect, having no
bolts to jar loose. The Chicago Pitts
Separator, mounted power is first
class, machines sold in 1868 yet do
ing good work. They are warrant
ed equal to any and these men are
prepared to give such prices and
terms as to satisfy the purchaser,
especially for cash-the discount on
factory price will more than pay
freight. They sell also steam en-
gines with their seperators.

The Anniversary Ofthe Baptist Sunday
school.

The Baptist Church on Sunday
evening last was crowded, the Occa-
sion being the anniversary exercises
of the Sabbath School. Short adj
dresses were delivered by Mr.. Ru-
dolph and our friend Riley, and
were appropriate, brief and select.
Then the report Of DIR. Beech, who
has so ably filled the office of Super
intendent, followed and compared
favorably with that of the different
Sunday Schools of the city. DIR.
Sears, the pastor, concluded the ex-
ercise by pointed talk, recalling
the important fact that eleven years
ago, in the old church, the first
Baptist school was organized with
only six persons present. Mr.. Fish
and other delegates to the Bible In
stitute delighted their audience with
their sweet singing.

Taxes for 1877.

The various tax assessors, we learn
have about completed their lists, and
are busily engaged in fixing valua-
tions. These lists have to be COM
pleted and returned to the County
Court on next Friday, the 1st of
June. 1t is impossible for assessors
to have either lists or valuations, to
even approximate justice, without
assistance from the tax payers. Any
of the former with this object in
view, will gladly exchange ideas.
By looking up your Ward or Dis
trict assessors IN time a deal of trouble
and injustice may be averted.

Ice Cream and strawberry Festival.

The fete given at Mr.. Kennedy's
residence on Thursday night for the
benefit of the Presbyterian Church
was more than success; its attrac
tons went so far beyond what was
announced that it was happy sur
prise to every one.
The pleasure grounds attached to
this residence are immensely inn
proved by the removal of the fence
between them and those of his SON
in-law Mr.. Ben. Owen, leaving
quite an imposing extent of shady
lawn and flower garden. This pleas
ant domain was Illuminated partly
by the light of a moon, nearly at
the full, and partly.by the soft radi-
ance of Chinese lamps. Through
these fairy-likevistas, happy couples
roamed and happy groupes were
seated, at first listening to well
selected concert of vocal and instru-
mental music, and afterwards to the
melody, sweeter to many, of loving
converse. AS inclination might di-
rect, the visitors resorted time and
again to the interior of the house,
where refreshments light and deli
cate were furnished at pleasure;
for the merits of these we had to
rely upon hearsay as weare afflicted
with a dyspeptic organization,
which refuses to bear up under such
entertainment at night, but testi-
mony in appreciation was unani-
nous. We made an early retreat
from temptation, leaving a joyous
crowd which showed no symptoms
of breaking up for long time.
Every one derived much pleasure
and we trust that the church derived
substantial aid.
