The MistIetOe BOUgIl,

In our Nashville exchanges we
read brilliant accounts of an enter
tertainment founded upon the old
English ballad of the MistletOe
Bough. The story is well known
most likely to most of our readers
as, in one form or another, it has
entered into the literature of most
European and some oriental nations.
1t tells how the fair GineOva was to
be married to the husband of her
choice at Christmas in the barOnial
castle of her father, when
"The MistletOe hung in the castle hall
And the barons retainers were feaSting
ALL etc;
how the bride when weary of dane
ing determined spOrtfully to hide
from her lover enjoying his per-
pleXity while seeking her; how she
hid in an old oak chest, the lid of
which closed on her with a spring
lock, and she died there; how the
lover grew insane at her loss and
spent his life till extreme old age
seeking his fairy bride; how the old
chest was opened many years after
the wedding, the skeleton discover
ed and the mystery solved; when
the old man dies and is buried with
the remains of his fairy bride. All
this is represented in a series of liv-
ing and moving tableauX, the bal
lad being recited verse by verse be-
tween the acts 50 as to explain the
action of the piece.
Crowded houses for many nights
greeted this performance in Nash
Vile, which excited the utmost en-
thusiasm; we have only to add that
it is shortly to be performed i'll
GAINESVILLE for the benefit of the
Methodist Church; and when we
say that Mrs. COutS has undertaken
its production, we have said all that
is necessary to guarantee its COM
plete success.

The Wheat Crop.

Upon general inquiry we find that
the acreage sown last fall was unus-
ually large, and the prospect for a
fine crop was never better. The Sc
we're cold weather of last winter was
warded off by a heavy covering of
snow, which benefited the crop in
asmuch as it retarded its too rapid
development and gave it a strong
stubby growth, which is the great
secret of a fine wheat crop. Then,
again, the frosts about the COM
mencement of the present month,
though hardly severe enough to
damage it, checked and thus pre-
vented that slender, spindling
growth so ruinous which follows as
aconsequent ofdamp, warm weather
in the early spring. When we take
into consideration the partial failure
of California and the great wheat
producing regions of the West, the
strong probabilities Of long and
general European war over the Eas-
tern question, there can be no
doubt that the price of wheat
will be greatly enhanced; and
should the crop escape the raw
ages of the rust will aid our farmers
greatly in recovering from the short
tobacco crop of last season. We re
joice with them in the bright hope,
and would urge that they do their
utmost to harvest the crop in such
a manner as will net the highest

Last SUNDAYS Religions Service.

The day was threatening and an
undecided inclination to rain pre-
vented full attendance at the diff
ferent churches in the city, all of
which save the Episcopal had ser
vice. The confirmation exercise
conducted by Bishop Feehan, of
the Catholic Church, attracted a
large audience. The sanctuary was
elegantly adorned with rare and
beautiful flowers. The young lady
candidates for confirmation were
dressed in white, and the ceremony
denomination received by the large
class of at least twenty-five was of
the most impressive character. The
vesper service consisted of the re-
ceptiOn of the young ladies' Sodality
Society, and their recognition as a
helpmate to the Church. The re-
marks of the Bishop in his words of
advice and cheer to the young ladies
were of the most elegant rhetoric,
Astounding in SMILES from nature
whose application was most fitting
and appropriate.
At o'clock in the evening we at
tended the anniversary of the Pres
byterian Sabbath School. The
threatening rain could not keep
away the many lovers of the Sunday
School work. Mr.. Kennedy, noted
for his system and order, conducted
the celebration. After opening with
prayer short addresses were deliv-
cred by Mr.. Smith and DIR. Flynn,
of the Southwestern University.
Then followed the annual report of
the work of the school, from which
we note the following: the average
attendance for the year-teachers,
II; scholars, 122. The corrected roll
shoWs-teachers, 10; scholars, 1874.
The amount collected for school pur-
poses proper was $455; foreign, $50;
total, $685.. Nine scholars were pres
ent every Sabbath during the year.
The report speaks well for the teach
ers and officers and for the liberality /
of the school. Mr.. Kennedy pre-
scented the different prizes with a
few well-timed remarks in explain
alton of the working of the school.
Mr.. LuptOn concluded the exercises
with,a pointed appeal to theyoung;
then followed the beautiful "Sweet
bye and bye" which was an appro-
pirate conclusion to the pleasant ex-
ercises.

Independent Champions of the Red
Cross.

The meeting of the Grand En-
campment of the above order ON
Tuesday, the 10Th inst, was well at
tended by delegates from various
sections of this Jurisdiction. The
business of the encampment looking
to the general good of the order was
transacted with pleasant unanimity.
This jurisdiction was increased from
1000 to 5000 contributing members,
thereby making life assurance
payable upon the death of a con-
tributing member equal to 81 90 per
capita of the entire membership,
which may be increased to 5000.
The Supreme Executive Committee
met at 8 O'Clock p. NJ, and deter
mined to admit males of IA and fe-
males of II years of age to nOn-con-
tributing membership in the first
degree. The delegates were much
encouraged by the social interchange
of views. With bright prospects
and efficient organizing officers, we
hope to see the interests of the order
rapidly advanced. Gentlemen, your
object is a noble one, and your eff
forts of the past deserve the highest
praise. We beseech you tire not in
well-doing.

Secretary, in another column, for a
brief of the proceedings.

GAINESVILLE District Conference, NJ.
L. Church, South.

This body held its eleventh session
at Charlotte last week. Bishop
Keener presided; J. w. CullOm and
r. Ii. Pickering were elected secre-
taries. These occasions are generally
very enjoyable, but we perhaps
never had a more pleasant session
than the present. The citizens of
Charlotte dispensed lavish hOspi-
tally. Bishop Keener preached
three good sermons. r. X. Brown,
Duncan, Turner and others preached
the gospel in its simplicity and
power. a good revival was in pro-
gress when we left, a number of
penitents at the altar of prayer, and
several had protested religion. The
meeting was to be protracted through
the present week. The delegates
elected to the next Annual Confer
ence mt Nashville are II. II. Picker
ing, BascOm B. Bats, w. II. Neb-
lettand John EdmondsOn. Reserves
$. \. Caldwell and J. NJ. Swift.
The next session is to be held at
Tobaccoport. Among other resolu-
tions the following unanimously
adopted by a rising vote:
Resolved, That our associations with Rev.
VIM. Burr, the presiding elder of this dis
trict, have been tender and endearing, and
that we shall part with him at the end of
his official term this autumn with heartfelt
regret. our prayers and best wishes shall
follow him wherever in the order of PrONl-
dence he shall labor.
With much emotion Bro. Burr re-
piled to this resolution. Bro. Arm
strong, of the Cumberland Presby-
terrain, also made some fitting re-
marks expressive of the regret felt
by his people as well as ours in sew
ering ties of affection which have
been the growth of four years o
/ faithful christian work.

The Sunday Schools,

The period for the annual Sunday
School celebrations has arrived and
two of these valued intitutiOns have
held their meetings in due form
the Presbyterian celebration is no.
ticed in due form, the Methodist af-
fair which preceded it was accident
ally omitted in our notices of last
week, which we much regret. We
can only say that the secretary's re-
port evinced a high state of pros
perity&lnd efficiency in the school.
The exercises of the day were inter
esting, and we werespecially pleased
with the address of our friend MIR.
j. J. West, who succeeded in the
by no means easy task of escaping
from the beaten track in delivering
a Sunday School speech.
Prizes were given in all the clas-
ses, one for regularity of attendance
and another for perfection of recita-
ton. Those competed for by the
whole school were as follows:
The bringing in the largest num-
Der of scholars, Charles Smith, son
of Judge c. G. Smith.
SecOnd-Largest number, Miss
Lizzie Current.
Third-Richard Caldwell.
The attendance was large and
those who attended were evidently
much interested.

To Those Desiring

Pictures of themselves of the sizes
8x10, 10x12, 11x14, or 14x17, 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 ofrecersed picture, when
you can sit for a 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. / respect
fully solicit a share of the patronage
in this line, and cordially invite a
comparison of my work with that
of any house either in Chicago or
New York. My arrangements are
with the best painters in the coun-
try in oil, water or India ink.

than in the larger markets. Coffee is firm.
Flour would be easier to buy of the lower

TO scarcity of desirable stock, but the pros

lessen the demand during the few weeks

At a meeting of the board of trus-
tees held at the office of the Presi-
dent on the 18th; Hon. James +.
Bailey was elected as a trustee in
addition to their existing board. 1t
was resolved that the board enclose
all of the vacant grounds lying along
the railroad by a neat and strong
fence, throwing the entire lot south
of the Academy into one enclosure
and thus giving a lot of good size
with beautiful natural grade to the
railroad in full view of the passen-
ger depot. 1t is the intention of DIR.
Plummer to make of this a park,
with walks on whose borders ma
lures bright flowers cultivated by
fair botanists viii perenially bud
forth in beauty. Fountains whose
silver spray will be a silent remind
er of womans purity. The Doctors
energy in the Improvements already
completed, the bright, new look OF
the building; the evergreens and
flowers now adjoining the front lawn
is but an index of his future i'm
provement. Prior to the commence
ment he proposes to run an iron rail
ing of the most improved style the

commencement will be given infull

They are all that this reliable firm
claim for them. l am using one,

The Rights Of Prthias.

We were honored with an invita-
ton to banquet given by this gal
liant company on Tuesday night.
Without pretending to any knowl-
edge of the rdisoa az etre of this band
of brothers, we win describe simply
what was manifested to the eyes of
the uninitiated, among which we
have to class ourselves. We were
conducted to their palatial hall by the
valiant and redoubtable Sir John
Duff. After a few mystic cere-
monies the doors opened to us, and
we found ourselves in a baromial
apartment surrounded by armed
and bearded warriors, among whom
we recognized as a chief among
chieftains the Welsh Knight, Sir
Benjamin Owen, as we'll as Hamlet
Pacha, a truculent but jolly looking
Saracen, and Sir William McCOr-
mac, Highland chieftain as we in
fer from his national prefix.
Thesestalwart knights were found
to be in a festive mood, and after
few minutes of sublime and brilli-
ant discourse, we weresummonedb by
a preconcerted signal to the banquet
hall and sat down with large COM
pany of knights and their invited
guests, to a well filed table loaded
with eatables and drinkables, appe-
thing enough to beguile the ascetism
Ofan anchOrite. The fluid elements of
entertainment were placid and cool
ing in their qualities, but the COM
pany was decidedly exhilarating
and inspired an unwonted brilliance
in the speeches which acknowledged
the various toasts. These as far as
our memory extends, were:
First-''The Ladies" fiittingly re-
piled to by our gallant young friend
J. j. West, Esq, The Press Mr..
HOpson Johnston. The GAINESVILLE
press, DIR. d. F. Wright. The
knights ofPythias, Sir B. III. Owen,
who gave us an interesting history
of the order, and many others.
"Twas merry in the hall,
And the boards wagged all"
And towards morning we found
ourselves wrapped in peaceful slum-
bers in a blissful dream of chivalry
bright with cleaning armOr, dane
ing plumes and neighing steeds,
with the jovial countenance of
Hamlet Pacha, looming over it all
and beaming with the rosieSt efflu-
ence of hospitality and good fellow
ship:
"Hast thou e'er dreamt dream of bliss.
And wept at its forsaking?
Hast thou e'er dreamt of things amiSS.
And then rejOiced at waking?"
Alas it was dreary waking to
pass from such a dream of joyous
ness to the weary routine of pen
and scissors but we took comfort
in giving the first fruits of our pen
to the glory of the Knights of
Pythias.
