Notes by Alpha.

ED. FREEMAN Cranberry needs d
better public sentiment than itnow
has, If it be true that druggist is
selling whisky contrary to law, the
temperance people should close up
the concern. All that is needed is
an effort. An earnest leader would
be worth much to the young men
of this place.. ] wish the Christian
people of the town had more con.
science and a greater sense of re-
sponsibility. In that case this
wrecker Of human souls would be
in Jail or under heavy bonds to
keep the law.
Austen is quiet town and the
headquarters of the Coke business.
The last quarterly meeting for
Preston Circuit, U. B. Church, was
held at this place, G. d. Holden,
Pastor. The meeting was good and
helpful, three asking the prayers Of
the church. My home was with
M. l.. Shaffer, Esq, and | shall not
soon forget the kindness of himself
and his interesting family. Miss
Berta Shaffer presided at the organ
during the meeting. A live Sab
bath School is running here. Mr..
Jessup had charge last Sabbath.
There is good temperance senti-
ment in this place. Mr. Orr, one Of
the members Of the Legislature,
lives near by. He believes in Pro-
hibition and votes it.
Irondale is the headquarters of
the iron trade in this section. Mr..
Straus, one of the owners and SUI
perintendent, will not keep a man
who persists in getting drunk. j.
c. Morris is pastor Of the U. B.
Church at this place, and is doing
a good work. The last Quarterly
occurred Feb. 81, and was of real
benefit to those who attended. The
furnace turns out on an average
about Is tons per day. This is
worth from 500 to $50 per ton,
There are four grades Of iron made

GERMANY.-A Berlin dispatch
says: emperor William has decid-
ed to proclaim Crown Prince Fred
erick William Regent on the 22d of
March next, on the occasion of EN-
peror Williams eighty-ffth birth
day"
RUssIA,--There is temperance
movement in Russia. The Holy
Synod has taken it up and distrib-
utes tracts, advocating sobriety
even upon Saints days. This is
very radical teaching for Russian
peasantry.

Gambling.

This and whisky drinking are
twin sisters. Gamblers as a rule
get drunk in fact, whisky is a ne
cessity to prepare them for the pro-
family, vu.garity, and bare faced
dishonesty that are generally SC
prominent in such circles.
At a recent term of the Jackson
county Court, the Grand Jury de-
termined to break up den of gam
blers that infested a certain smoke
house on the premises of one Godby,
in the town Of Ripley; consequent
ly, a number Of indictments were
found Among the unfortunate
ones were half a score or more of Of
ficials, and would-be prominent cit
liens of Jackson, Roane and Mason
counties, with a number of others,
whose names | cannot give for want
of space
Now, Mr. Editor, it is no less
than a burning shame and disgrace
for would-be leading men to be
found in these low dens of iniquity-
while elsewhere they advocate good
morals and the observance of law.
1t may not be long till some of these
men will have the audacity to ask
and demand the confidence of the
people with some position of trust.
If such should be the case, we sim
cerely hope the people will have
the good sense never to trust them
with office, nor even countenance
them SO long as they think no more
Of themselves and families than to
spend their nights in places of rev.
elry, where no gentleman should
ever be found.
| am told upon good authority,
that one of these parties gambled
all night at Ripley, when his broth
er lay corpse not five miles away.
Glow are the mighty fallenl Tell
it not in Gath, publish it not in the
streets of Askelon," that there are
men in this county who become so
infatuated with gambling as to lose
all respect for self and the dead.
1t does seem to me that the moral
and religious people of the country,
and especially the ministry, should
condemn this evil in language too
plain to be mistaken, and if possi-
bic, arrest the fearful current that
is sweeping so many onward to in
evitable ruin. DELTA.

Sometimes there comes within ile life,
This chequercd lifo ofonra
So much OF loss and pain and sirife,
That our sad eyes with tear-dfole rife,
Look up and see no aowes.
A sudden sorrow clouds the day,
And thetried heart grows iaint,
For strength aud couragedie away,
And lips that have been firm icpray
Can only make complaint.
And life becomes ut such time
An unattractive thing;
There is no sound Of CHEEKY chine,
There days move on in dreary Rhyme,
And bring no heart to sing
II such a time should come TO fhee-
(And somewhere in the years
For every one its pain willbel-s
DO not despair, but try to see
Some sunshine through tlit tears.

Receives gift from Heaven,

MT. Mart Malony, of Harshaw, is in the city, looking hale and hearty as ever. If the climate makes Mart so jovial and healthy we shall be compelled to rec ommend his section as a sanitarium. From him we gather some iuteresting Tar Flat items.
 On the evening of the l2th inst one Guillegan struck Mr. G. J. Murphy over the head with double barreied shot gun inflicting a dangerous wound MT. c. thinking his presence was no longer wanted, and the walking not being good concluded to borrow Mark EzekieTs horses. Marks old mare did not like the looks of Mir. G. at that hour of night called to her master. Mark came to her relief and the first shot caught NIT. G. in the right hand. Three or four other people came out with guns and made NIT. G surrender at discretion. He was brought in to Sheriff Paul last night and is now safely incarcerated in the county hastlle.
 Mart prorOunces the rumor of small pox in that country as libel. We put 1t in rather stronger language.

\ man by the name of NandercoOk
 was murdered recently at Austerlitz, N.
 l., by a hermit named Bcclwith. ln- quiry into the facts of the case and the life of the accused have brought cut some strange and stading facts. A dis patch from the pace where the murderer resides says: The circumstances attendant upon the commission of the crime, and the place where .t vas perpetrated. call to mind the strange disappearance Of Mrs Wilsey Peek. who was lost near Beckvi.h's cabin two years ago, while beuying It appears that there has long been gaining ground among the people of Aus,-Tiitz a horrible suspicion that the strange, half sane hermit was nothing less then a cauniblL lt ls known that he has often boastcd 0t eating human flesh m Austerlitz and he at one time houihed two honest Afford farmers by remarking that be liked it, and wished he could live on it. The revolting report, which was at frst too horrible to believe, but which s now gaining credence. that those who frs, visited the cabin after thc murder found a human liver m the fying-pan, cooked and partly eaten, comes from BcclSwiE' nearest neighbors. 4 stage driver states that Becl,with ate one of his horses that had died from disease early this Winter, and a neighbor says that he has found sliced human flesh in the bcrmlls cabin.

 The scouting party ot fourteen that
 Jeff here on Friday under Deputy Mar
 shal Jackson returned lest night a, dusk
 Leaving here in a misting ram, when they reached the Dragons it was coming down ia torrents. The party crossed the range CD the southeast oi south pass, where le Indians had been seen last, and found signs, but SO blinded by the ram that they were iudis,inct Alter scouting .he south Dragoons and the
 IgE4C1.s district hills, the squad went Go Soldiers Holes, where they made camp. Returning yesterday. they sklJed along Co the r0rbcastward of the Turgl1is hills up CD Black Diamond Springs. where they ialal a company of cavalry from Fort Bowie, thirty nve strong, with ten Indian scouts. The Lcr-enant ID conn maud stated that the stronghold had been thoroughly secuted by h-s Indians and sign. discovered, bl, owing Go thc rain .t wa- difficult Co determine whether they were new or uot. The troops are caupeI Co u.,ht about mile and a half Co ,Le east of Black Diamond Spungs, and intend Co go down towards Sonora irc. From the Black Diamond the party returned by way Of Cachisc pass and Willow springs, where they rec1nnojtcred the ground where WhItzcl met his death and along the trail of his flight, and where the body had lain found uumis- takahle evidence that three Indians had followed Eim when he raE from the wagon. The stone with which the deed was done Jil lay there stained with the victims blood One rock, weighing abou, i've pounds and having ihe shape of a ', was almost as sharp as a knife, and without doubt was the instrument with winch the wounds in the head were n- d.cted.
 When an Indian Is tn hiding he can get closer co the ground than any hying -hing, unless it is a snake, and ], may be ,ha, there i- a small band stIii lurking in these mountains; but afer the commission of.this crime it IS decidedly more proba- bic that they are a hundred miles away by this time. -.

The site is beautiful plateau of land, through which runs a never-failing stream of mountain spring water clear as crystal, full of fish and aG0rding power for any amount of manufacturing machinery, at an altitude of 3,O11 feet above the sea level, on the line of the Mexican Southern Railroad. It is called Allen City. Around the city are laid out and taken mp twenty-four coffee farms, each touching the city plat. There will be over 2,OO0,000 coffee trees in nursery cultivation at this place the coming year, all to be transplanted and raised m bearing within the next four years. All goods, stores, and snpples, agricul- tural implements, machinery, building material and furniture for the colonists are exempt from duty; also all exports and imports Of productions of the coun- try, and stock for worl; or breeding pur- poses, are exempt for'ten years.
