1t will be apparent to any one, who
will examine a SOLID GOLD WATCH, that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving and polishing, large proper
ton of the precious metal used, is need
ed only to stiffen and hold the engraved
portions in place, and supply the neces-
sary solidity and strength. The surplus
gold Is actually needless so far as UTIL-
ITY and beauty are concerned. In JAS.

SEES, this WASTE of precious metal is
overcome, and the SAME sOLIDITY AND
STRENGTH produced at from one third
to one-half of the usual cost of solid
cases. This process is of the NEST SIM
ple nature, as follows plate OF nickle
composition metal, especially adapted
to the purpose, has two plates of SOLID
GOLD soldered one on each side. The
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers, and the result is strip of
heavy plated composition, from which
the cases, backs, centers, bezels, ETC.,
are cut and shaped by suitable dies and
formers. The gold IN these cases Is
sufficiently thick to admit of all kinds
of chasing, engraving and enameling ;
the engraved cases have been carried

A VERY REMARKABLE SUMNER.

In several particulars this has
probably been the most remarkable
summer on record. Extremes seem
to have NETS and contended with each
other for supremacy of power. The
winter fingered with us long after
the usual time that natural causes
and influences called him to unclasp
his icy letters and let us bask in the
genial sunlight of spring. In fact,
with such firm grasp did he hold
US that the mild influence Of spring
passed by UNDECIDED, and it was only
when the burning heat of the sum-
mer sun was poured upon him that
winter gave up the contest and re-
tired for a season from the field. Al
most simultaneously the snow be-
meath us and the clouds above us
disappeared and the heat of the sun
rapidly increased the temperature
from the freezing point to away up in
the nineties. The rains ceased and
the clouds disappeared. The earth
became parched and scorched. Veg
citation, in many places, withered
and died. In some of the larger
cities the mortality was fearfully in
creased by the intense heat. In al
most every instance, these dry and
hot seasons have been followed by
severe wind and rain storms, caus-
ing much damage and loss of pro-
perty. Some sections of the coun-
try have been visited by the most
fearful cyclones, sweeping every
thing away which they CHANGED to
come in contact with, demolishing
every grade of buildings, from the
stateliest church edifce to the most
unpretending cabin strewing their
pathways with dead, dying and
wounded people-bringing distress
and gloom to hundreds of families
who but the hour before were joy
GUS and content. Whether or not
these dry, hot seasons, storms and
cyclones have resulted from commo-
ton in the sun, as astronomers tell
us, we are not prepared to say, but
we are prepared to re-echo the gen
eral expression that this has been a
livery remarkably strange summer,
sir"

sTRUCK By LIGHTNING.

Particulars of q catastrophe by
lightning in Darlington county, S.
c., on the 9Th, show that party of
20 white men, laborers, stopped un
der an oak tree for rest and to shelter
themselves from the sun. Clouds
were visible at distance, and rain
was falling some miles away, but in
that locality the sun was shining.
One of the men stepped off q few
yards, when suddenly a terrible crash
startled him, and turning he beheld
his companions, some dead, some
paralyzed, and others wounded and
struggling in the throes of death. j.
M. Mazzingo, Rufus Mazzingo, Will

Our readers will remember that
about two months ago we published
an account of the elopement from
Greene county of Whit Knight with
the wife of James Scott. About
ten days ago, we are informed,
Knight made his appearance at his
old homo and his wife received him
cordially and forgivingly. A week
later, the erring Mrs. Scott present
ed herself at the home of her hus-
band and asked to be forgiven and
taken to his heart again. Mr.. Scott
told his guilty spouse to go hence
and sin no more. That if he could fill
the place of a mother for two months
he could fill it through life, and that
henceforward his home could not be
a home for her. James Scott is said
to be a thrifty, excellent citizen.

The Chattanooga Times says that
DIR. VIM. Morrow, of Nashville, and
Maj. Thos. Mcconnell, of Chattan-
Ooga, have three-quarters interest
in the famous Etna coal mines, COM
prising about 1000 acres of the fin
est coal land in the State. The pre-
sent out put of the mines is 10 car
loads of coal per day. The purch-
asers, it is said, have paid off all the
attachments on the property; and
obtained clear title to three-quar-
tiers interest for about $4,000. The
estimated value of the mines is from
5000, 900 to s25O,OOO, but their real
value cannot be computed, their pro-
duct in coal being surpassed by none
in the State and existing in mex
haustible quantities.

TAZKRKLE COLLEGE,.

We take pleasure in calling atten-
ton to the fact that the first term of
the 4th session of Tazewell College
begins next Monday, 22d inst. The
location of the College has been well
chosen. 1t is sufficiently accessible,
and no village in the country is ia
vored or more noted for its health
fulness and the refined culture of its
citizens than is Tazewell, Claiborne
county, Tenn. The College build
ing is admirably adapted for its pur-
poses, and the necessary expenses OF
students are very small. President
Manard is an East Tennessean by
birth, and deservedly ranks with the
foremost educators and organizers OF
the day. We congratulate its friends
on the success it has already won,
and predict a still more brilliant ca
reer for Tazewell College. The pros
poets for the next session are very
fiattering.

EMORY AND HENRY COLLEGE,

HMOhK AMI AbVH4 COLLHOAs
Emory and Henry College solcits
patronage through our columns. 1t
is an old and beloved institution, and
some of the foremost scholars of the
day are of the number who receiv-
ed their education there. The new
ly organized faculty commands the
respect and admiration of old and
new patrons. With DR.. Sullins and
Messrs. Hoss and Price we have the
pleasure of a personal acquaintance
extending through MANY years.
They are thorough scholars, sound
and progressive thinkers and judi
cious disciplinarians; and the others
are as highly appreciated by those
who know them. Parents can not
do better than send their sons to
those home institutions where the
spirit of earnest study is prevalent,
where temptations are fewer, and
where the personal attention of the
teachers is greater than they are in
the most of the large colleges. We
believe Emory and Henry largely
possesses these advantages.
