THE TWENTY. SECOND OF FEBBV
AIRY, 1879.
Preparations for Fine CrItbrAtiOU
at the Fancy H,II Academy,

! parattOns for - Fine CeItbratfOE
at the Fancy H,II Acadeny.
Mr. EDITOR: Preparations are being
made for fine celebration of Wash
Tngton's birth-dsy on the 22d Of Feb
ruary, a. the Fancy Hill Academy
in the Grassy Valley, seven miles
from the city. 1t may not be smiss
to observe that this community is ca
pabIe of doing almost anything sug
| gested concerning its interests, and il
! tifst-class order at that. We look fOl
nothing else in the coming entertain
ment.
The following committees have al
ready been appointed and announced
On SpeakcIs-W. r. Murphy, Rufus
GoenP, w. a. Auiers0n ADD J. r.
Murphy,
On Music-W. a. Anderson, James
Crawford. the Misses Kate and Cy
thia Anderson, john Th0mpsU AID
DIR. Robert Anderson.
90 aiument-uO~aTd AHder-
son, Frank Murphy, David Getaz and
Robert Murphy.
On Decoration The Misses Mamie
Anderson, Lizzie Ste fiji =, Evie Ander-
son, Ellen Harris, Julia GontfOD, NJ
J. Kirk, Minnie Anderson, Maggie
Murphy and kOsalie JOuvenat.
The Committee on Music consists ol
the members Of the Grassy Valley
Band,n which consists OF six instTu-
ments, some of which are very fine
and costly. l. is not extravagant To
say that the members of this band are
cultivated ladies and gentlemen, hav-
ing enjoyed fine opportunities to hear
scientific performers, aud make artis-
tie music rarely heard in East Tennes-
see. Such musical talent and such a
band would be an honor TO any town
or city in the State IL is no wonder
then, that this fine valley of people
are proud Of them and enjoy with rare
zest their thrilling values or most
charming sacred melodies. The first
sweep Of DR.. Robert AndersOn's bow,
as their leader, inspires confidence
aud success, and sets al audience all
| low with excitement and Interest.
Ii would be useless TO suppose other
wise Than that the rendition Of their
patriotic songs will be most excellent
on this occasion.
Six eulogiaus have been appointed
who will prepare addresses of twenty
minutes in length on the various
phrases Of the life, character and ser
vices of the immortal Washington
and their subsequent Influence
upon our beloved republic and her
people. This programme furnishes
one OF the most soul-stirring and
patriotic occasions possible. And
while we gratefully try to honor the
illustTious name and memory OF
Washington, aud impress the exalted
character and noble life upon our
youth at the return of this anniver.
sary, we do honor to ourselves, which
also brings Us into the glorious sum
shine of one OF the purest characters
OF modern times. w r. N.

A GENTLEMAN who has recently
visited Washington and who con-
versed with many leading Republi-
cans while there, reports Grant stock
as high. 1t is generally believed there
that he will go in in 1850 with a
whoop." Even Carl Schurz thinks
the indications point that way now.
Or course no one can tell what will
happen In the next eighteen months,
but If Republican nominating con-
vention were held now, he would GER
tsinly be the NAH, unless he should
positively refuse the nomination.

LOUISVILLE, March ga Cburisr-
Journals special from Lexington, KY,

intelligence Of horrible murder which

her step mother and there dealt blow
ON the head, which fractured her skull.
To finish the deed the female fend
placed one end OF rope round
the girls neck and the other she tied TO
beam, and then weighted the
body sufficient to break the neck, After
finishing her dastardly deed, she took
the body down and placed il In 4 field
near by, in which vicious horse was
kept and sent word Ia her husband
that his daughter had been killed by the
horse. The suspicious Of the neighbors
were aroused, and coroner's jury was
impannelIed to hold an inquest ON the
body of the girl. Numerous scars on
the body showed how badly the girl hal
been treated during her stay with her
step-mother, and the broken neck
showed plainly that the girl had not
been killel by the horse. The munieress
IL now IN jail awaiting her trial.
