TWAS night. The silvery moon was
Just peeping above the distant hills, throw
ing its transcendent radiance DER the silent
scene. The soft fragrance Of odorous flow
ers was waited in sweet confusion on the
gentle breeze, and the clock in the steep
had struck the mid night hour--all nature
seemed wrapped in silent slumber. But
bark A discordant sound breaks the
monotonv of the solitude. Away in the
distance uncarthly yells were heard. Loud
er and louder they grew until at last all ma
ture seemed in an uproarous turmoll-the
foundations of the earth quaked and thesur
rounding hills swayed to and fro like
drunken man Was the angel Gabriel
sounding his trumpet to awake the sleeping
millions, or had the Almighty turned loose
the demons of hell, in all their fury, upon
an ungrateful people? We decided to make
an investigation, and accordingly aros from
our humble couch, and, all trembling with
excitement and fear, we drew on our panta-

shipped to Lebanon, Cherokee county, on
the Marcy Gauge last Tuesday, an engine
of 90 horse power, manufactured by them at
their foundry near town. It is neatly finish
ed and will compare favorably with any
Northern work, aud for the same power is
five hundred dollars cheaper than you can
get from the North. We do not see why
our people should send off for work, when
we have such skilful and thorough.machin-
lists at home The engine in question reflects
credit upon its makers.
