WADE HAMPTON ON A SCARED
HoRsE.-Gen. Wade Hampton lost
leg by a mule. He is still a fine
horseman. He was marshal at
Lexington, Va, on the great occa-
sion of last week, when a burst of
music excited his horse greatly and
he began to plunge, and rearing, he
fell back on his launches. An &C
count in the Richmond Dispatch
says: THE General seemed to tot
ter and was about to fall on the
stone pavement, but ere the cry Of
alarm had been uttered BY those
who we're standing near by, the
gallant horseman had alighted on
his feet unhurt, still holding to the
rein Of the plunging animal, and
though ready hands were offered to
assist him, saying quietly, 4 can
manage him. the veteran cavalry
man, standing upon his only good
leg, vaulted into his saddle and
re !" unconcernedly away."-WH-:

ERiR. TENNESSEE.

A reporter Of this paper went
down to Erin last Tuesday morn
ing, and was surprised to find that
the little town had improved so
much since his last visit. The new
Court House has been finished and
is real handsome and convenient
structure that the people of Hous-
ton county may well be proud Of.
Several churches have been built
and some of them are of the latest
architectural style. Erin contains a
population of some 800 or 1000 in
habitants and Is quite trade GEN.
tire; its merchants do a thriveing
business.
Sells Bros circus exhibited in
Erin on the day of the reporters visit,
and of course there was an i'm
mense crowd in town; the num-
Der of people being estimated at
about 800. The tent was pitched
about one mile east of the town on
the railroad and was well patron
lied. This was the last perform
ance of the season and the company
was disbanded after the exhibition
was over. The circus going to Col
umbus, Ohio, where they go into
winter quarters,
We wish to say in regard to the
people of Erin and Houston county,
that there was less drunkenness on
that day than we have ever seen on
any similar crowd. This speaks
we'll for the reputation of both town
and county, and we are heartily
glad to note so favorable circum-
stance.

1t is unnecessary to state that the

enjoyed the day, however, as much
as if he had gone expressly to see

Free TurnDIkeS and BrTdgeS.

A number of GAINESVILLE citizens
assembled in the library room of
the Court House Wednesday night
to consider the project OF placing
the turnpikes and bridges under
county control and freeing them
from toll charges. Capt. Thomas
Herndon was made chairman of
the committee and Mr.. r. M. Hall
secretary. Speeches were made by
several well known gentlemen, and
resolutions adopted favoring the
purchase of the pixies and bridges
by the county. Mr.. Ben Gill
thought it would be a better and
more economic plan to rent the
pixies and bridges, and on his mo-
ton a committee was appointed to
see what they could be rented for.
The committee on resolutions were,
M. Savage, chairman, A. r. Hall,
G. B. Wilson, w. f. Coulter and
B. NJ. DeGraffenreid.
Messrs. Savage, Bloch and Coul-
ter were appointed committee TO
confer with the County Court.
Messrs. DeGraffenreid, Gerhart and
Wood to confer with the Mayor and
Aldermen of GAINESVILLE. Messrs.
Gill, Wilson and A. r. Hall were
appointed committee under Mr..
CLIPS resolution.
A letter expressing sympathy
with the movement and regrets for
his forced absence was received
from Mr.. w. S. POindexter.

Death of Rev. A. 3. Cooke.

Rev. A. B. Cooke died at his resi-
dence near SaddlersvilIe, Robertson
county, Tenn, on Tuesday evening
the 9th INST, of Bright's disease
of the kidneys. He was about 65
years of age, and was born and
raised in this county on the South
side of the river, and was much be-
loved and respected by all who
knew him. He was member of
the Tennessee Annual Conference
of the Methodist church, South,
and it was said that he did more
and better preaching and received
less for it than any minister in the
Conference. A long and intimate
acquaintance with him enables US
to say that few better or more relig-
ious men than Abe Cooke have ev-
er lived.

Death of C1Dt. Vim. Harmon.

Capt. VIM. Harmon, a pioneer
steamboat captain who was well
known at all points along the Cum
berland, died suddenly at his home
at $50 O'Clock, Wednesday morn
ing. The circumstances connected
with his death are quite pathetic.
The Banner says: "He spent the
night by the bedside of his sick
daughter, Mrs. BurnsOn, who is ex-
pected to die. AT 3 o'clock this
morning Capt. Harmon retired but
was awakened at o'clock, and told
to come to his daughter, as she was
dying. He arose, dressed and went
to the room, but fell dead soon after
reaching her bedside. The deceas-
ed was "a years of age, and had for
come years past been subject to heart
disease, and it is thought this dis
ease Caused his sudden DEATH"

A Sad Accident.
Paris Intelligencer.

Last Monday Mr.. VIM. Driver,
who lived six miles east OF Paris,
in the sixth district, an old gentle
man 70 years age, was in town and
made several small purchases. In
the evening he started for home on
horseback. When a few miles out
of town he dropped one of his pack
ages and dismOunted to get it. In
getting upon his horse again his
foot became entangled in the stir
rup and the horse making a quick
turn threw Mr.. Driver to ground,
head foremost. A couple of gentle
men were a short distance behind
him ard witnessed the accident !;
they rode up to where he was lying
on the ground and spoke to him,
but receiving no answer got down
and went to him. On examination
his neck was found to have been
broken by the fall, and consequent
ly death followed Immediately. Mr..
Driver was a good pious man, a
member of the Primitive Baptist
church, and his sad death is greatly
regretted by all.

DURING the past two weeks to-
bacco has been coming to Clarks-
vile at lively rate. So large has
been the delivery at the various fac
tories, that wagons have been de-
tanned sometimes for a day or so
after reaching the city before they
could unload, and the work of
unloading and receiving has been
carried far into the night. Much
of the tobacco that has been brought
in during the rush, is in soft or
wet condition, and that has brought
about a controversy between the
sellers and the buyers. The latter
insist on docking the soft or wet to-
bacco, but the former object to such
treatment and some litigation is
likely to be the result. We hope
the Il Twill be settled satisfac-
tory to boz. Tties.
