Recorder Quigley this morning dis
charged Matt Glass, who was arrested for
shooting at Elijah Nolan, colored. The
evidence showed that Glass asked Nolan
to pay him fifty cents which was due,
and this incensed Nolan, who abused his
creditor and followed his wagon some
distance. Finally, Nolan put his hand
behind him as if to draw a pistol, de.
nouncing Glass in a fearful manner, and
swearing that he would kill him. Glass
promptly drew his pistol which he fred
at the assailant, but missed. The re.
corder promptly discharged the defend
ant, who acted in self.defsnce.

late appeared about the greatest article

the quality Of the different beers of this

mer years. And yet there is the greatest
difference. Some are good at q certain
season. but give cut at another, gener-
ally 10 summer, and many a host who
praised his beer to-day as the best, had to
acknowledge the next day thst he had
said too much, and found TO his costthat
his customers went somewhere else. But
there is n beer that remains the same
the whole year round-the beer of Phil
Best's Brewing Company Of Milwaukee,
for which @ Quentel & Son are the sole
agents, not only for this market, but also

Interesting Information.
The General Assembly Of the Presby.
terrain Church in the UAited States will
meet in the First Presbyterian Church,
Knoxville, at IL o'clock Thursday, 10th
inst. This body is the regular success.
sion OF the General Assembly Of the
Presbyterian Church ia the Confederate
States of America, which was organized
at Augusta, Ga, in December, 1861; not
because that portion Of the church in
the South wished to separate from the
old General Assembly, but because it
was a necessity, superinduced by causes
which are generally well understood and
need not be now enumerated. The re,
suits Of the war necessitated a change o.
name and title. The name Of the so.
called Northern Assembly is precisely
the same as this, only taking on "oi
America at the end of the title.
The opening sermon will be preached
by Rev. c. A Stillman, D. D., the retir-
ing moderator. Each Presbytery is en-
titled to two representatives Zone minis.
ter and one ruling elder, but if the Pres.
bytery consist Of fOrty.eight ministers, it
is entitled to send feur commissioners to
the general assembly-tWo ministers and
two elders-and two commissioners lone
minister and one elder for every add.
tional t%wenty.fOur ministers in the Pres
bytery. A general assembly therefore is
not a convention of all the Presbyterian
ministers in the church, but is a repre-
tentative body, in which each commits.
sioner has authority to act for his Pres.
bytery, and is required by the terms of
his commission to consult, vote and de-
termiue on all things that may come be-
fore that body (the assembly according
to the principles and constitution of this
church aud the word of God. And of
his diligence herein he is to render an
account at his return to his Presbytery.
1t will be observed, too, that in the
constitution Of the general assembly q
perfect equality is preserved 10 numbers
between the ministers and elders. The
only permanent officers Of the general
assembly are the stated clerk and the
permanent clerk. A moderator and
temporary clerk are elected at each meet
ing. Like a State legislature or United
States congress, when its work is done,
the assembly is dissolved. A new one
chosen in the same manner is required
to meet the next year. 1t always meets
on the third Thursday of May"

In excessive drought have found a
of salt and ashes to act like a
charm, evidently keeping living mois-
ture near the surface, whereas parts
where the mixture was not used were
dry as dust for several inches in depth.
Salt helps to dissolve the different kinds
of soils and intermix them. Fer in
stance, take a very light sandy soil and
add stiff clay, in the fall if possible; give
it a liberal dressing Of salt, adding
unleached ashes if possible, pillow down
the following spring, and not q single
lump of clay can be found afterwards,
for it is now thoroughly mixed with the
other soil. Try the same experiment
without salt, and the result will be
quites different, for in the following
spring, and even for two years after,
Jumps of the clay can be turned over as
tough as when first laid down. No doubt
the fIosts of winter will dissolve large
quantity of the clay, but not at all 30

with salt. Potatoes grown on sailed
lands are always clean and free from
scab, and not so subject to dry rot,
think. [ have had a half-acre planted
with Scotch kidney potatoes, one-half Of
which was dressed heavy with salt and
ashes, and the other half left without the
mixture, and the result for several years
was that on the dressed half the potatoe
were clean and the crop rather better
average in quantity than on the Othel
half on which the potatoes were, as il
quite usual with this variety, covered
with scab.
