PARTIEs.-On Friday, the 10th inst.
Miss Millie Williams was pleasantly
surprised by party Of young people
who paid her friendly visit. The
party betook themselves to the Town
Hall, where, with good music and a
happy mood, each felt as if it were a
surprise party all round. The occasion
will long be remembered by Millie.
Another good surprise was paid to
Mrs. Elam Underwood, on her birth
day. We did not learn Mrs. Under
woods age, but however that may be
she felt very young in the midst Of 20
persons, all warm friends, some of

HIRAM.


Correspondence
Give us little rest, is now the farm
ers cry; for farm work, in consequence
ofcontinued rains, is at least two weeks
late, Saturday and Sunday we had
heavy rains, which will retard the
farmers still more and endanger the
corn crop, unless all contingencies are
favorable. @ 5f.'.r -
This community has been some
what excited by reason OF President
Einsdale having been lately rendered
the position of Superintendent of the
Cleveland schools. Some in our midst
have been expecting Mr. Hinsdale
would make the Sandwich Islands his
temporary abiding place, while others
have doubted that he was Stalwart
enough to pull through. Since he has
been rendered the position, the Cleve'
land Herald has had an every day at
tack upon him, to induce him to de-
cline the position. Some of these at
tacks are venomous to an extreme,
while others have q kind OF " kiss to
betray" style, which shows how
highly moral and self-announced hon
orable combination can maiciously
attack any person that may come be-
tween them and their purposes. 1t is
essentially Republican way Of war
fare. Perhaps Mr.. Hinsdale sighs,
with the bard of Avon:
| 90 Oh. wad some power the gilt tie gle US,
To see ourselves as ithers see u.s.
after perusing some of the articles pub
lished on the subject. Perhaps the
Herald sees Congressional candidate
looming up in the distance, provided
| Mr.. Hinsdale makes Cleveland his
home. .
The Garrettsville Journal says, "For
vulgarity, the Hiram correspondent OF
the Ravenna PRESS certainly beats
anything eXtant." The Journal man
stuck that item in for sinister motives,
because we mentioned the organization
of peculiar telephone company in
this place, giving the objects and line
of business of the company, as briefly
as possible and convey the idea. Such
an organization has been long needed
by the Journal and the idea was taken
with avidity, for it says in the same
issue: Why do not some of the tel
ephOne companies wh0 are visiting
other towns in this section, give thi:
place call ?" 1t is evident that the
editor of the Journal is anxious to have
similar lines established in his place
as was established here, as only sucl
lines would connect with his oilic, ant
he could then communicate withou
leaving his seat. We are not rea
classical in our language, spoken o.
written, and would not, for the world
offend the delicate ear of the Journa

DICKSON STA, TENN, May %, 1882.
ED. PREss.-I will give some of your
readers little idea of n ashville, known
as the Rock City, on account of the
great quantities of stone found here.
The city is 1O2 years old and is well
built. A great many buildings are OF
cut lime stone, and are of rare beauty
and workmanship and fine architec-
ture. The city is noted for it's fine
schools of all grades, for both colored
and white. One very fine building is
known as Vanderbilt University, in
honor of Vanderbilt, who donated
large sum for its construction and
maintenance. Another one is Fiske
University. This one is for the edu-
cation of the colored freedmen. There
are about twenty Churches here in
Nashville, with Sunday attendance
of 5000 or 1000, not all blacks, some
few whites. There are fourtean saw
mills in this vicinity, or rather in the
city, with daily cutting capacity of
over 100000 feet, and various other
large manufacturing interests, such as
Touring mills, cotton and gin mills,
machine shops, and machinery for
drilling and saving stone, with large
merchandising establishments, both
wholesale and retail. AS Nashville is
the key to the South and Southeast in
wholesale trade, her railroads give
quite liberal rates on freight. The
cost from here to Lincoln ON lumber,
for instance, is only "a cents per 100
lbs. To Decatur it is % cents. The
lumber interest is quite large, as the
river wharf has not been cleared since
the first rise in the river, about the last
days of October. The Cumberland
river is quite a rapid stream and rises
and recedes rapidly. There are at this
time long RATS, extending from 8 to II
miles along both banks, from three to
five logs deep, principally poplar and
walnut, red cedar being also largely
represented.
Nashville has had, since the coming
in Of 1872, three notable experiences.
First, the January rise, when the city
was almost divided into five separate
villages. Over 1000 houses were in the
back water, and some went down the
river, over a million feet of lumber ac-
companying them on their journey.
The second was the buying, by the
city, of the suspension bridge spanning
the river Cumberland here and making
it free of toll to the public, which was
done in form, with speeches and firing
of cannon, on the first day Of April.
Third, though not least, was lighting
the city with the Brush electric light,
which was witnessed by about 10000
spectators, on April Goth.
Ohio, Indiana, and the Eastern and
Western States are largely represented
among the population here as perma-
nent citizens. The Mayor of the city
is a nice, respectable man, good Re-

amounts to this. In the contest of
1880 O'COnnOr was declared elected to
Congress from the Second District of
South Caralina, and Mackey claims he
was counted out. Before taking his
seat O'Connor died, and new election
was ordered, at which Samuel Dibble,
of Orangeburg, was elected, receiving
7,3Il votes to Mackey 800. The Re-

have rejected, to which the Democrats
are making a proper and determined
