BELOW PAR"-That raminds me of a
little anecdote, is what every bright man
has heard over and over again, rs his
memory has been logged by some ones
telling good story. When good stories
and ready repartees are going on, ore
witty little thing is sure to suggest fam
other. Thus we thought day or two
since, when reading in an evening paper
that Charles Sumner was no musician,
and that lady friend once told him that
if he was to buy n music box set to Old
Hundred, she did not believe that he
conld make it play more than seventy
five. 1t was doubtless something in the
same vein that prompted old Mrs. Roth
child, when ninety-seven, to say to her
physician, "Doctor. You must keep me
up for three years more at least; it would
be disoreditable for Rothehild to go off

Death Of Miss Laura BRADLEY

In Paris, Tenn, on Friday, 9Th inst, after
painful and protracted illness, Miss Laura
A., the beloved and accomplished daughter
of Larkin Bradley, Esq, formerly citizen
of this city.
The circumstances attending upon the
untimely death of this fair young lady are
indeed sad and sorroWfql, and calculated to
strike the tenderest chords of sympathy and
regret in the hearts of all who knew her,
In the very hey-day of joyous young wo-
manhood, with her bright, happy life made
SUMMER, happier still by the sweet antici-
patton of an early marriage to him to whom
she had long ago surrendered her heart and
hand, and who had watched so tenderly and
so patiently during her long sickness, for
her return to health, and for the time when
their marriage would be consummated,
the grim destroyer. Death, came and cut
the slender thread of life, Amid such glad
surroundings as these, in the pleasantest
season of the year, when all Nature is thrnh-
bling with new life and gladstone existence,
how sadder far than words can tell, is the
thought that she, "whiIe yet in love with
life and raptured with the world" should
so soon "pass to silence and pathetic dust"
We wish we could find some fitting word
of sympathy f.r her relatives, and for him
to whom she was even daaFeF, but there is
only one blessed thought that can console
those who are so deeply grieved at her sad
death. and that is, that though every hour
of her short young life here may have been
erich with love, and every moment jewel
ed with joy" she is now where all is hap
piness and eternal joy.
She was inferred in the City Cemetery,
this city, Saturday afternoon at 8 o'clock.

CrIminaICourt.

Criminal court has been in session here
since the I'd inst. The court and the attor-
ney general have been putting things
through, and the docket is fast being
cleared. Five or six negroes have been
sent to the State prison for periods of from
one to ten years. Indeed, it seems that if a
prisoner once gets into the hands of GENT
Burney he might as well "throw up the
SPONGE" and go right along to the pen.
The case of John H. Merkel, who is con-
fined in Jail here charged with the murder
of Emma Draudt, of Louisville, KY, is set
for trial next Monday. This will be one OF
the most interesting criminal trials that has
occurred here for years. There is large ar
ray of counsel on both sides; Messrs. Quarles,
Daniel, Goodpasture, Rhodes and Bernard,
(the last named gentleman a lawyer of Lou
isville, Ky.) for the defense. The State will
be ably represented by Attorney General
Burney, ex-Attorney General johnson and
Clay Stacker, Esq.
The grand jury was in session last Tues
day and Wednesday. Weunderstand they
worked very industriously, and found a
good many indictments. Violators of the
law had better feel uneasy.
Judge Tyler has adopted a new plan in re-
gard to the summoning of jurors in this
court. The Sheriff is now required to sum-
mon all his panel from the same district for
each different day. This arrangement has
this good effect, that parties who are sum-
moned know that they are expected and
must come, and so make their arrange
ments accordingly, and those who have not
been summoned as jurors, but put off their
intended visit to town on business, just be-
cause they fear they may be snatched up
and put into the jury box, may now come
with impunity. So come along and attend
to your business here-you will not be mo-
Tested.

Academy Presentations.

In our account of the commencement ex-
ercises at the Female Academy, we omitted
to record two interesting presentations, one
of silver basket filed with flowers, to Mrs.
McCauley, art instructor, and another of a
silver card stand and cake basket, to Mrs.
Meininger. There were tributes of gratitude
from the pupils who have received such
faithful instruction from the two ladies. We
can give our honest testimony to the merits
which elected these testimonials. Mrs. Mein-
niger is pianiste of the first class, and the
sedulous care she has shown in imparting
her art TO her scholars is amply demonstra-
ted by their correct and tasteful perform
ance at the recent exercises. For Mrs. Kate
McCauley, we will only say after minute
inspection of the workmanship of her schol-
ars in wax flowers, that there is taste and
perfection in these beautiful portraitures of
natures fairest works which cannot fail to
exercise a refining influence on the youth
full artistes. To both these ladies a tribute
of gratitude was due from their pupils and
it was gracefully and literally rendered
the transaction was creditable to both CIV
ers and receivers.

THE Tennessee Press Association IS regular
meeting takes place this year at Gallatin,
Tenn, commencing on Thursday, June the
18th. A larger attendance than usual is eX-
pected this year, and we understand that
extensive preparations are being made by
the genial and hospitable citizens of that
city for the accommodation and enjoyment
OF the members Whg sttead. We small ana
ly be surprised if every member in the State
does not put in an appearance, for he is not
worthy to be called a jolly good fellow, and
a brother Bohemian, who viii not, at least
once year, cast aside the pencil and the
cares attendant upon the right welding of
that mighty instrument, to indulge in the
happiness and pleasure of a meeting with
kindred spirits; Let all attend After our
meeting at Gallatin, we meet the Kentucky
Press Association at Bowling Green, and go
thence on an excursion to the Mammoth
Cave. Our paper will be represented by its
editor, DIR. d. f. Wright; Mr.. Sterling Neb-
lett, one of the proprietors, and Ed. C.

A very important meeting of the Board
Of Mayor and Aldermen took place on
Wednesday, 18th instant
Present: His Honor, the Mayor; Alder
meh, Faxon, Kendrick, Keesee, Rick, Du-
gan and Lyman; Recorder Jackson, and
City Attorney, Rhodes.
The occasion of this meeting was bill
which has been filed in Chancery against
the GAINESVILLE Water Works Company, and
the City of GAINESVILLE, and the question
was, whether not the City Council should
appear in court by its attorney as party in
the suit
After the meeting had been called to order
by the Mayor, the bill in question was read
by the City Attorney.
The main specifications of the bill were,
that the ordinance contract on which the
existence of the Water Works Company de-
pends) was no ordinance, because its valid
ity as such was made dependent upon the
acceptance of one of the defendants, Trav-
ers Daniel, who was not a citizen of Clarks-
vile; and more, because, as it stipulated for
the raising a tax which was beyond the
chartered privileges of the Board to levy
that contract, as a contract, was also void
and extra uires-being beyond the authority
of said city Council to make; that it i'm
f1icts an illegal grievance on the complain
ants, who are taxpayers of GAINESVILLE. for
the benefit of parties who are not citizens
of the State, the Water Works Company
having been formed in violation of the Con-
stitution of the State of Tennessee, DC, &C.
After some discussion it was unanimously
agreed that the City Council should appear
in court as a defendant in the matter by its
law-officer, the City Attorney, and the
meeting adjourned.
1t will be noticed that the allegations all
involve points of law which can only be
settled by legal controversy in the courts of
the State. This precludes us from giving an
opinion in the matter while the case is sub
jatdice.
The following is a list of the COM
plainants in whose name the bill is filed
these names are a sufficient guarantee that
the action in question has not been lightly
adopted:

GAINESVILLE Tobacco Market.
OFFICE or THE CHRONICLE, !
GAINESVILLE. June l3, 1879.


Our market this week was very active at
rather higher prices, with offerings of be-
tween 600 and 700 hogsheads. The quality
of the breaks was only medium, though
there were few hogsheads of good TO fine
leaf which brought from $40 90 to Sl1 so. The
general order of the breaks was better. We
have had showers, with heavy rain fall in
places, which have given paintings where
they fell, but the crop lacks a good deal of
being pitched yet, no doubt. The Italian
contract for 1900 hogsheads tobacco was
adjudicated on the 9th, and awarded TO
Messrs. Verheyden & Co., of Brussels. The
French contract of 1000 hogsheads was
awarded on the 18th to Messrs. Huffer & Co.,
of Paris. Both contracts are reported to
have been taken at extremely low prices,
and the contractors may lose heavily in
filling them. We quote:
