On Monday morning last, about
8 o'clock, Elias Perry and William
Blakey (colored), capenters on Sec
ond street, discovered fire on the
roof of the old Baptist church, now
used as a courthouse. They and
Mr.. Howard, the blacksmith at
Baker 4 Bros, procured a ladder,
and with buckets of water soon ex-
tinguished the flames. The fire
companies were promptly on hand,
but the aforementioned men had
done the work before their arrival.
The fire originated from burning
SCOT which fell on the dry roof.

John +. House al she Centennial.

John +. House at the Centennial
Among the attractions at the cen
tennial ceremonies at Nashville,
one Of the greatest will be an ora
ton from our gifted representative
on a theme well worthy of his pow
ers. He has been selected as the
orator at the unwilling of the statue
of jackson, which takes place on
the 10th inst, and has telegraphed
his acceptance Of the appointment.
The following is the comment of the
washington correspond
ent ON the event:
Hon. John +. House, one of the.
finest disclaimers in the Union, and
one of the most magnetic orators,
this day received letter from the
committee inviting him to deliver
the grafton. He telegraphed his
acceptance and will be present ON
the day named.
1t is highly appropriate that this
distinguished gentleman should
have been selected by the commit
tee to portray the life and character
OF "OId Hickory" He represents
the Hermitage district in the con-
gress of the nation over whose des-
TIMES the grand old hero, who sleeps |
by the side of his wife, at the Her |
mitage, presided with unmatched |
ability in one of the most important |
epochs of its history. Besides this, |
he il the fortunate possessOr of much |
of that temperament and habit of
thought and style which made DAN
iel Webster the mightiest memorial
orator of any land or time.
1t is needless for me to say to the
people of a state, who have heard |
this peerless orator, from the noun
tains to the Mississippi, that he will
be equal to the occasion, and will
deliver a speech that will be read
and admired for years to come as
one of the clearest and most elo-
qnent portrayals of the remarkable
career of Andrew Jackson.
There is no doubt of large at
from GAINESVILLE; ga speech
from House, is a cry that will
gather GAINESVILLE crowd wherever
it is raised.
