On last Friday morning, a brakeman for
the Southeastern r. r.. was run over and in
stantly killed at this point, by his own
train. We understood the unfortunate
name TO be George Allen. His body was
frightfully mangled, but was decently cared
for by his company.
A more agreeable announcement than the
above is the return of Misses White and
Greenfield from their visits respectively to
North Todd and your city. We notice that
both are accompanied home by attractive
companions, of whose names we are yet in
| ignorance. We are also happy to note the
return of Miss Laura Lewis, who has been
absent in Miss. for several months.

Death OF Col. John Il. Hatcher.

This gentleman was one of the many men
Of genius whom Tennessee has contributed
to the journalistic profession in Kentucky.
Col. Hatcher spent his boyhood and ac-
quired his education at Columbia, in this
State, his parents having removed TO that
neighborhood during his childhood from
Albermarle county, Va. He commenced
his editorial life as editor of the Florence,
Ala, Democrat. His talents afterwards gave
character successfully to the Columbia,
Tenn, Mirror and the Nashville Patriot.
After doing good service during the war
on the staff of Gen. Cheatham, he accepted
employment on the staff of the Louisville
Journal, and subsequently became editor of
the Louisville Democrat, and finally con-
nected himself with the COurier-Journal,
with which paper he was more or less asso-
ciated till his death, though he lived several
years of the latter part of his life at Column
bia, the home of his boyhood, and even
started a paper there, the Mail. He died of
consumption on Wednesday last, the 25th
inst, that disease being hereditary in his
family.
A genial vein of humor was the chief
characteristic of his writing, and, after the
death of Prentice, he was the paragraphist of
the C0urier-JOurnaI

At the earnest request of a friend We pub
lish an elaborate article to-day on the treat
ment of persons in whom animation is
suspended by drowning. The importance
ofthe subject cannot be over-estiInated, and
SO far as the necessity of warmth in the
early stages of the treatment is concerned
we agree entirely with the author. But we
think he undertakes other important
means, and propose in future issues to dis
cuSs some of them. The present season is
specially appropriate TO the subject, as the
time is approaching when young people
VIII engage in the healthful practice Of
bathing and knowledge of the sort is more
likely TO be called for. Our first paper, how
ever, win not be addressed to the subject of
curing persons when drowned, but rather to
that of teaching how not to get drowned,
and our advice will be addressed TO both
boys and their parents.

| Major Robert L. Ragland, of Hal-
flax county, Va, has for many
years been acknou lodged through
I out the country as IN authority OF
the first rank in Connection with
the cultivation and preparation for
market of the tobacco crop. He
holds the following language in his
famous essay on tobacco, and it will
be seen that the ANCHOR BRAND is

IF your tobacco is fine, sound
and nicely handled, you'll nave the
satisfaction of getting at the least a
remunerative price for it, although
poor and nondescript stock may be
selling for less than the cost of pro-
duction. The world is now full of
low grades of tobacco. We must
plant less surface, manure heavier
and cultivate and manage better if
we would get better prices.
1T is proper that / should de-
scribe more particularly the benefits

it's manufacture from 1861. 1t has
always done we'll for me-better
than any other | ever used on to-
bacco, Peruvian Guano, or any
other of the we'll known brands,
when used in competition with it.
1t has never failed greatly to benefit
the tobacco crops to which it has
been applied and the wheat crops
following, but also to secure a never
failing stand of clover.
ga fertilizer that has Gl3rdgts
shown such marked results on all
three of these crops in succession,
from one application, proves its
high character, and that it is an
honest preparation that planters may
prOfitably use.
cat three cents per pound, the
planter can fertilize FIVE hills for one

to take these three chances at he
Anchor Brand, they'll not regret it,
but will continue its use, and in the
mode suggested.
Gas an improver of land worn
down by exhaustive cultivation,
nothing equals clover, where it can
be made to grow. The Anchor
Brand does this after supplying fer
tilizing material for two previous
crops, as has been demonstrated on
my farm for eleven years.
81 am a great advocate for farm
made manures,. but cannot possibly

stated, always found the ANCHOR

member with mingled admiration and re-

New Providence and all its suburbs, IN
Gliding the pretty little hamlet entitled
GAINESVILLE, assembled at the ware-room Of
b. K. Gold. Esq, on Thursday evening to
witness some musical and dramatic enter
tainments which had been got up for the
benefit of the Methodist Church Mt New
Providence.
We attended by the hospitable invitation
of the Rev. J. w. Hammer, Ir. and were well
rewarded for our trip. Colds warehouse
had undergone a wondrous transformation,
being fitted up with stage and curtain and
all the appliances essential to dramatic art.
After some excellent singing under the
direction of Prof. Meillinger, the curtain
rose for the performances of Aunt Betsy's
Beaux," gay little farce in which three
frolicsome young girls get any quantity of
fun out OF the love affairs of their maiden
aunt. This last character was played with
abundant us constco by Miss Bettie Howell.
Then came more singing, including first
rate rendering OF the song and chorus
eGrandfather's Clock and fine recitation
from Hiawatha by Miss Howell, and then
"THE LITTLE TREASURE"
This piece has long been known to us as
one of the most finished little society dramas
known to the stage. 1t has this advantage,
that every part in it is character. These
consist of a very bashful lover, Mr.. r. n.
Rhodes; an over-sensitive husband, Mr.. L.
Z. Smith; first-class London fop, Mr.. g. G.
Martin; a neglected wife, Miss M. E. Ford
a most delightful young lady in her teens,
Miss Alma Cold and the typical mother-in-
law, Miss f. Wilson. All the parts were so
admirably rendered and the interest of the
audience so unfiagging throughout that it
would be invidious to specify any one in
particular. Moreover, we We're entirely dis
qualified from forming impartial esti-
mate by falling over head and ears in love
with Cousin Gertrude, the Little Treasure,
before she had been on the stage five min
utes. We think there is yet time for us to
cut out Capt. Maydenblush, and we intend
to do so.
The vocal portion of the entertainment
was ably sustained by Miss Ora Gold (whose
interrogatory we answer decidedly in the
afirmative), Miss B. Howell and Messrs. l..
Smith, CabsAiss, Watts and Crabtree.
After night spent at the hospitable resi-
dence OF DR.. Wyatt, we returned TO Clarks-
Vile delighted with our visit.

The Public Health.

The season is approaching at which the
sanitary condition of the city becomes a
matter of primary importance. We are not
going to enter into any details upon this
subject at present; a new Board of Health
will, we understand, be shortly organized

authority upon the subject. We will antic-
ipato their action, however, so far as to urge
upon our friends the necessity of attending

ton of filth of any sort on their prem
