Notice to Gas Consumers.

The Knoxville Gas Light Company will
commence on the LIST of January, 1880, to de-
duct from all gas bills to private consumers,
80 cents per 1000 cubic feet, making Gas
cost only $3.50; provided the bills are
paid at the Office within ten days after they
are due. The Company is aware that
taking the size of Knoxville, and the
price of coal into consideration, this
will be lower for Gas than any city sells at
in the United States. The Company
during the present month has become
clear of debt, and this reduction is made
hoping the price will give full satisfaction
to all, and thereby enable the Company to
declare a.dividend on the stock-whch has
never yet been done, after about twenty
four years operations. ......

This name has been given, and correctly
enough, to a new remedy for the lock,jaw.
The account of it sounds more like waggery
than fact, but the New York Times tells it
"bona;fdely" of an ingenious French ply
stefan, who was called IN to prescribe for a
lady suffering from tetanus.
Her family doctor had tried every known
remedy without effect, ..... "
The patient was lying on her back with her
mouth tightly closed, and the muscles Of her
jaws and throat rigid, SO that she could not
utter Il sound. ..
The new physician Went out and procured
q live mouse, and attached a horse-hair to its
tail
Placing the mouse at the foot of the bed he
allowed it to creep over the patient the entire
length of her body.
She soon felt the creature, and noticing
what it was sprang up and screamed, "Take
it off! take it off! and scolded the doctor very
glibly for Il horrid, heartless wretch"
The doctor laughed, and so did his attend
ants, for all saw that the mouse had COM
pletely broken the lady's lockjaw. One nerv-
Gus shock had been cured by another.
She had no return of the tetanus symptoms,
and the doctor was so well convinced OF the
value of his four-legged homeopathy that he
went on trying it for other nervous diseases,
prudently, of course, and it is said that he
made the "mouse-cure y a success every time.

Mr.. Haynes started to rise and is forced into

But the waiter was not one of the humble

barrel deposited in his room contrary, of
course, to rule or usage. He received a sum-

informed that you have a barrel of ale in YOU
ROOM
"Yes, SIR"
"What explanation can you make ?"
"Why, the fact is, sir, my physician advised
me TO try a little ale each day as a tonic, and
not wishing to stop at the various places where
this beverage is retailed, | determined to have
= barrel taken to my own ROOM"

could hardly lift it. Now can carry it with
