A GIGANTIC SCHoOLMlsTREss On
one of the islands off the coast Of
Maine is a gigantic scboolmistress seven
feet high, weighing 300 pounds, strong
IN proportion. and very ha dsome.
Once she was sent for TO reduce to or
der a schccl of savage young men, who
tbrashed their teachers and turned them
out. Her advent was enough to make
them meek as lambs, ali save one young
man of 81. handsome and curly haired.
and who regarded himself as q privil-
eyed character He began to cut up
one day before the girls, whescupon. in
the twinkling of an eye. the handsome
Riantess bowed him across her knee,
and spanked him with her ruler. The
boys laughed. the girls Uttered, and
that was the end of tina: young mans
pranks.

LYnching of MnckhAe.

1t will be remembered that the
two negroes, Wilson and Mockbee,
who were convicted of the murder
of Wiley McClish at Dover, last fall,
applied to the Supreme Court at
Nashville for a new trial with sue
cess. The new trial was accorded
to Wilson and he was again con-
victed in the early part of last week.
Mockbee, however, protesting that
he could not be tried with safety
and impartiality in Dover, applied
for a change of venue, and his trial
was ordered to Arlington, Houston
county. This very much exasper-
ated the people of Dover, who were
fully satisfied of his guilt, and be-
lieved that the change of venue
would result in his release. Ac-
cordingly three men disguised went
to the Jail armed with shot guns
and demanded Mockbee of the
jailor. He was given up and taken
to a woody place and hanged.
We have no doubt of the guilt of
Mockbee, and think that his escape
from execution would have been a
very serious evil. AT the same time
we cannot but look upon this law
less act as one to be much deplOred,
we must add, condemned. The ex-
cuse for it, and the only one, is the
rarity of convictions for murder in
this State, and the probability of the
mans escape, neither of which ex-
tenuating circumstances do we de-
sire to overlook, but the time is
come in our history when these
wild, lawless proceedings must come
to an end. If the law for the pun
ishment of murder is defective in
our code let it be altered, but let the
law, and the law alone, determine
these questions, whether the offender
be black or white.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Duprez and Benedict's Minstrels

DupEeZ anu DOHculcGS mInSlEeISS
Will positively appear in this city
at Franklin Hall Monday evening
the Both inst. They are highlyspoken
of by the press. Reserved seats can
be secured at Owen & MOore's drug
store. The following is from the
American of Baltimore:
There were but few vacant seats
in the Academy of Music last night
when the curtain rose on Duprez
and Benedicts Minstrel Troupe, and
for two hours the audience gave
themselves up to unrestrained en-
joyment and delight. The troupe is
essentially the strongest that has Wis
tied the city for some time. The
voices are evenly balanced, and in the
chOruses appear to unusually fine
advantage, while the sOlOists, both
bassO and tenOrs, sing the melodies
peculiar to minestrelsy with artistic
talent and expression not always
met in travelling companies. The
farcicaI sketches with which the
nights amusement abOunded, were
provocative of undisguised merri-
ment, and while never descending
to vulgarity, were as broadly hui
morOus as any disciple of MOmus
could demand.

McEVOy'S Hihernica.

McEvoy's Hibernica Emerald
Ministries, brass band and orchestra
will appear at Franklin Hall We'd
nesday and Thursday, May I'd and
Sd. Matinee Thursday at p. IN.
We copy the following notice from
an exchange:
"This combination was greeted at
the Opera House last night, not
withstanding the extreme cold
weather, by one of the largest and
most Intelligent audiences ever gath
cred in the building. 1t was appa-
rent that the good reputation of the
Hibernica had preceded it, and
those who went expecting to see
something far above the entertain
ments presented by the average run
of travelling companies, were not
disappointed. The entertainment
was first-clasS-it was chaste, in
structive, entertaining as well as
highly amusing. The man or w0-
man who can resist a smile at the
original jokes and cOmicalities OF
Messrs. RenshaW and O'Lynn,
must be made of stone. And to
those who care less for minstrelsy
than works of art, the rich paintings
of Irish scenery are alone well worth
the price of admission. AS panO-
ramic views, these paintings are
certainly the finest ever presented
to the public.

thanked on both sides by thrifty
trees which just begin to expand
their outrageous foliage, and af
ford precious shade! And those
evergreens-pines of different kinds,
cedars, arbor vitae, and the stately
and queenly magnolias- they
all rise majestically and point heav-
onward! How the sweet-scented
lilac impregnates the air with aro-
matte odors, while the gardens and
lawns present an appearance of en-
erald green and velvety smoothness
And in the evening, when the sun
sinks down in the distant west, and
flood of mellow fading twilight is
poured out over the landscape !;
when gradually gray Night steals
in, and wraps the weary earth in a
thick veil of darkness when a gen.
tie and genial zephyr, softly signing
like Aeolian harps, stirs the balmy
air and the tremulous leaves, and
when the moon emerges from the
tranquil feathery evening clouds,
shedding down her silvery light,
then we feel ourselves raised up for
a while from the gloomy shadows of
this earthly valley to the light of
higher regions.
Again, we see the river rolling its
vast volumes of impetuOus water
past mills, warehouses and factories,
and wind its tortuous way in grace
full curves meath rocky cedar-clad
banks, gurgling and murmuring as
if it had silent griefs and woes to
tell. Garden and meadow, hill and
dale, woodland and river, gorge and
cliff-alI these combinations and va
riations of landscape give our city
an exceedingly picturesque and ro-
mantle character. In early morn,
when the earth begins to blush with
the auroral light of the solar orb, we
love to stroll along the river, and
gaze at yon distant hills shrouded
in a blue haze, just as if they were
still drowsy and slumbering. Clarks-
vile looks at present like blush
ing bride on the vernal morning of
a festal day, and, in giving express
sion to our feelings, we remember
vividly the immortal lines of Hor-
ace
''Ille mihi terrarum praeter Omnes angu-
luS ridet."
By the way, the popular and ira
ditionaI belief that, if it rains on
Easter Sunday, it will rain for seven
consecutive Sundays, has received
the coup de grace by the unusually
fine weather on the last two Sun
days. We always had due respect
for the mysterious number SeUe1, as
it is altogether highly significant
cipher, which we intend to explain
or discuss in another issue of the
CHRONICLE. But the atmosphere
is such a tickle and capricious thing
that we have lost all our confidence
in popular meteoroIogy and in III
cean predictions of atmospheric dis
turbances, planetary collisions and
tidal waves. l.. l..

Pictures of themselves of the sizes
Sx10, 1Ox12, 11X14, or 14x17, l would
say it is a mistake to sit for a gem
picture to send off and have copied
and enlarged to those sizes, because
at the best you only get a copy Of a
cheap kind OfreUerSed picture, when
you can sit for satisfactory mega
tive direct from life, and after pay
ing no more for the first picture than
the travelling agent will charge you,
the original negative is still on file,
from which you can order duplicates
at a mere nominal price. L respect
fully solicit share of the patronage
in this line, and cordially invite a
comparison of my work with that

New York. My arrangements are

try in oil, water or India ink.

GAINESVILLE Wholesale Market,
CORRECTED BY ]. ]. cRUsMAN.

We report another very quiet week, and
except for the excitement incident to the
foreign war news and its influence on
prices, there would have been no changes
in prices to note. Flour has been marked
up again 80 cents per barrel, and holders
are not pressing their small stocks even at
the present comparatively high prices. The
price of Corn is also being materially
affected and Provisions slightly. The mar
ket for Provisions will not probably be so
much affected unless other powers than
those of Russia and Turkey take part
in the war. In this connection would ii
not be well for our farmers to consider the
probable future of prices and plant accord
ingly. In the event of q protracted Euro
pean war, large crops of Corn, Hogs, Beeves,
Wheat, Rye and Oats must certainly be
more desirable than large crops of Tobacco.

Our receipts are full, the weather for
sometime past having been very favorable
for handling the crop. AS our sales are still
going on at the time of going to press, we
can only estimate the sales for the week,
which we suppose will amount to about 500
hogsheads. The quality is still poor and
general order bad, and soft Tobaccos con-
time easy in price, whereas all Tobaccos in
good order do well, and if they possess any
quality bring high prices. We hear of the
fly appearing in the beds in some neighbor-
hoods, but trust that our planters win be
able to protect their plants from this pest
this year, and that a fun planting will be
made. The world can use next year very
large crop of good Tobacco at good prices,
but for common, poor stuff the states.north
of the Ohio river can beat us, raising it
ch,aaner than vVa can We OuOta.

Col. LOttner's Lecture,

An audience quite respectable in
number, appreciative in attention
and cultivated in manners, assem-
bled at the BrOadhurst Institute last
Tuesday evening to listen to Col.
LOttner's lecture on Music. His lee
ture was truly a rich feast of reason,
and a delightful flow of beautiful
and sOul-stirring sentiment. He
showed that he had made profound
and minute research into the origin,
the history and the gradual devel-
Opment of music from the tame and
simple ballads of theancient Chinese
to those grand and sublime compo-
sitions of the heaven-inspired Ger
man composer, Wagner.
Col. Lottner, moreover, showed that
music must have been of divine
origin, like the principles of CRAWL
tation and electricity, and that our
modern composers, like Newton
and Franklin, have reached forth
into depths of Nature, and, grasping
her mysterious beauties ofharmOny,
have disclosed them to delighted
mankind.
The audience was RECALLED with
delightful music by Miss Rachel
Tucker and several of her pupils /;
Misses Graham, Settle, Baker and
Billingsly. These young ladies had
prepared nothing for the occasion,
but so perfectly had they been in
structed and trained, and so beauti-
fully and gracefully did they play
and sing, that all enjoyed their
imprOmptu feats with the keenest
relish. Mr.. Blotch, Jr. also added
to the entertainment of the evening
by some well executed instru-
mental pieces. A.

We have seldom attended an am
mateur permance more entirely to
our taste than that which was given
at Mrs. Thomas's residence under
the above title on Thursday night.
The performance was given for the
benefit of the Episcopal Church
building fund and the principal per-
formers were children, aided in
some scenes by children of a larger
growth.
Theperformance commenced with
the appearance of Mother Goose
herself, miss Bette HI. who "stated
the object of the meeting" Her
costume was perfect and there was
only one drawback to the illusion
the young lady could not succeed in
making herself old and ugly. Her
prOteges then produced series of
tableaux illustrative of the i'm
mortal Nursery Rhymes.
The Cat was duly plunged in the
well and rescued the four and
twenty black birds duly astonished
his majesty by emerging from the
pie; Henry Smith went to London
for his wife and brought her hOmein
a wheel-borrow (andsuch little wife
was worth going to Lodon for, or to
ConstantinOple, if he had to rescue
her from the midst of COssacks and
Bashi Bazouks)-in fine all the poe
try of the grand old lady was ma
teri0lised to everybodie5 full con-
tent. 1t was bad night, otherwise
Mrs. ThOmas's drawing room would
have been overcrowded spacious as
it is; we insist upon repetition in
larger room.
