MIR. A. c. BRUCE, architect, of
Knoxville, Tenn, was in the city
on Monday and laid before the Com
missionerS several plans of Court
Houses that he is now erecting in
different counties in the State. His
Chattanooga Court House will be
the finest building of the kind in
the State; built of stone and brick,
and the first story entirely fire-proof.
Mr.. Bruce's experience in planning
Court Houses places him at the head
of his profession, and he comes
highly recommended as a thorough
~ practical and competent architect.

We are in possession of venera-
BILE looking sheet entitled the
"Clarksville Journal" bearing date
May 23d, 1882. 1t was found among
some old papers long undisturbed in
the County Court Clerks Office
(where the late fire necessitated
their removaD and placed at our
disposal by the kindness of Mr.. G.
II. Bailey. The topics of interest
were
I.-EURoPEAN.
The ravages of the cholera, which
was then rampant in Europe and
dreaded in America, overshadowed
everything else, and it is amusing
to observe by the dates the tardy
arrival of intelligence. Thus the
date of the paper being May 23d,
its latest news from New York was
May 9th, and was therefore seven
teen days old. This mail brought
the news which the news-boat of
the New York and Enquirer had
obtained by boarding the brigs Jas
per and Ceres, which sailed from
Havre April 5th, and their latest
news from Paris was dated April
Sd. News, therefore, on matter of
exciting interest took fifty days ar
irving at old GAINESVILLE from Paris.
AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE.
The whole space of more than
eight columns is devoted to an arti-
Gle on the United States Bank, then
engaged in a struggle for life and
death with the Executive under
Andrew Jackson. Eight columns
of very heavy reading Astounding
in statistics and that part of a series
"tO be concluded in our next"
After this let no one grumble at the
CHRONICLES articles on the silver
question, but take pattern by the
long-suffering endurance of the
Journals readers in 1882.
III.-LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
All other topics of interest are
swallowed up in the anticipation of
the Spring races, which are an
nounced for the 8th of June, over
the WOOdlawn course. This course,
as we are informed by the oldest
inhabitant now among us, w. r.
Bringhurst, Esq, was located on
the farm recently known as the FL
der tract, about two miles up the
river.
Land sales are announced by C.
Crusman, Sheriff, and County Court !
announcements by p. n. Mari,
Clerk, both names still well known
in GAINESVILLE.
A Clarksvillian writing from |
Pittsburg gives an account of the |
Siamese twins, then the fashionable
wonder of the day.
One of the most amusing articles |
is headed "Days of DID," in which |
some taltdatOg te1npOriS 0ctj under
takes to show how much better |
people were "forty years ago." Our
writers of the day give a very SINH
lar account of the "good old days"
when this article was written, and |
forty years hence our own wicked |
era will be affectionately looked |
back upon as the "good old days"

Wherefore the Sacred Congregation has
ordered that copy OF the said address be
sent 10 you, with the view that by making
the matter known your Grace might take
pains 10 a1monsh the other bishops OF
North America to use al care and diligence
TO study and inform themselves on the arts
ana schemes OF societies condemned by the
Church, especially OF this so-called "Order
OF the American Union," in order that they
may the more readily guard the faithful
from their wileS. and ut the same time adopt
Suca means as will protect the Church from
any damage which might result to her from
the plots OF these impious and goddess men.
In the mean time pray God to bless and
