Resolved, That the mails from both
north and south be allowed to be
thrown off here while the train is in
motion until further notice.
Resolved, That in behalf Of our en-
tire community we tender the sin
csrest thanks to the railroad authori.

DIR. JOHN c. HARRIS, the we'll
known dentist, died last night of
yellow fever, at his residence, on We'll
lingteu street. His illness was of
very brief duration. He was as well
as usual last Thursday when he bought
tickets and saw his family off at the
Memphis aud Charleston depot Soon
after that he was taken doVp. but it
was not until yesterday that the physi.
clan in charge admitted that he had
yellow fever. DR.. Harris was an
excellent citizen and greatly esteemed
by all who knew him. His death will
be terrible loss to his family and the
community can i'll afford to lose such
a man. Had he gone with his family
rather than remain from a mistaken
sense of duty no doubt he would be
alive to-day.

East TENNESSEE.

We can assure our readers that good
board, at reasonable prices, can be had
at almost any town in East Tennessee
from Cleveland to Bristol, Prices
vary from S12 to $40, according to To-
cation. Besides places mentioned in
our special from Knoxville last Fri
day, are many others, among them
Mount Nebo, ten miles from Mary
vile and in the vicinity of Montyale.
This place is on the top of Chilhowee
mountain, 5000 feet above the level of
the sea. 1t is a romantic, charming
place. Board $40 per month. Then
there is Lea Springs, quite a noted
place, II miles north of McMlllan's
Station, just above Knoxville. The
proprietor, Mr.. j. D. Clinton, keeps a
good house and also charges $40 per
month, and half-price for chill
dren. Morristown, 40 miles above
Knoxville, can accommodate large
number, and one of the hotels charges
only $l5 per month. Jonesboro can
take number yet and Rogersville is
not quite full. The drouth has cut
off vegetables somewhat, still there is
enough to supply all demands. We
speak in the interest of our own citi-
zens. We say we believe East Ten
nessee is as healthy as any section and
the cheapest within reach of Mem
pbians. Nearly all the well-to-do
farmers are willing to take few
boarders and if cases of extor-
tion have occurred they must be
few and far between.

DIR. G.. B. THORNTON, president of
the board of health, returned yestcr-
day by way Of the Memphis and
Charleston railroad, from flying trip
to Washington, in the vicinity of
which he placed his little daughter
among relatives. He isin good health
and enters at once upon the duties of
his trying position. In this connec-
ton we viii mention the report that
Dr. Maury, who is spending the sum
mer in Colorado, has rendered his
resignation as a member of the State
board of health, but that his resigna-
tion has been withdrawn or held up
for some purpose. DR.. Maury does
not expect to return to Memphis
during the epidemic if we have one.
His health is delicate and it is not
likely, judging from the past, that he
will ever take an active part as a
member of the State board of health.
Should vacancy Occnr we feel that
DIR. Thornton should be appointed to
fill it,

About three years afterward, as two
OF the equestrian actors were walking
through an East End thoroughfare.
one suddenly exclaimed TO the other,
pointing to horse and cart. / say,

our Billy" " Impossible" answered
the other. T" | tell you it is; I'll try
him" Ashley taught his horses
by certain signs-one of these
was clicking the nails Of his
fore6nger and thumb. The exper-
iment was now tried, and at the
sound the horse pricked up his ears
and began to eaper. His identity was
at once established !, the two actors
embraced their old friend with de-
light, and he testified his pleasure at
the meeting by capering and rubbing
his head against them. The owner
was found in an adjoining public house,
a bargain was struck, and Billy was
transferred to the actors. He's a
monstrOus good-tempered cretur, "
said the man, but he's got such odd
antics we always call him the Mounte-
bank" Billy was received by his old
master with tears of Joy, and the next
night was taking off his kettle of boil
ing water and handing round his tea
tray with all his old dexterity. The
horse lived to the extraordinary age Of
forty-two, and survived his master
when he was too old for work he was
kept in his stable and allowed two
quartern loaves a day, and npon his
death portion of his skin was used
to cover big drum"

IT is currently rumored that the the
NoncOnnah bridge, six miles south Of
Memphis, and just this side of the To-
cality known last year as Camp 10
Williams, was torn down last night
by unknown persons. This, if true,
is a great piece of folly, which the
county will have to pay for. 1t is a
well-known fact that not a single per-
son in that neighborhood took the
fever last year from the cases in camp.
Besides this there is no talk of re-es-
tablishing the camp, and no dispo-
sition on the part of our people to go
in that direction, The inhuman re-
ception Of last year would be enough
to deter them forever.
