Letter from Williamsport.
Messrs. Editors !:

MeSSrS. Editors
Have you place In your
valuable paper for letter from Will
Transport ? Of course you have.
Williamsport ia ind led very beauti-
full and hourishing town. a young city
In fact-with wide-awake. pushing
and 'enterprlsirg people. Although
much building was done last year and
much is in pFoRress this year. the call
for dwelling houses continues unabated
so that three hundred more new houses
could easily be Glled. The dehaaud is
far in excess OF the supply.
Fires are now the order Of the day,
but thanks to our vigllant and efficient
force of fire men no great losses have
lately occurred, with the exception OF
tie one on the night of the l4th ult.,
when barn was burned to the ground.
Four valuable horses,a wagon with an
organ on it-all the property of Mr.. 5.
Q. Mingle, were burned along with
other property. Mr.. Mingle's loss Is a.
bout $1,700.
Our city promises to be all life this
summer. First the State Teachers As
sociation will meet here July 10th, and
remain in session three days. In Au-
gust the encampment of the Third Bri-
gade wal take place and is to last
week. A great many people are ex.
pected on both occasions and our peo-
pie look for ward to these gatherings
with much interest and pleasure.
The sad accident that occurred here
the other Thursday evening cast
gloom over the whole community. Dur
ing the severe thunder storm that
swept over the valley on that evening
party of nineteen men and boys start
ed to cross the river in two boats.
The HtoS4A broke upon them with
such force as to upset the boats and
four boys were Grounded and sad and
singular to say, all ,C idouS' sons. The
bodies were all recovered. Their
names are Foreman ii artrnan, aged 81,
Truman Rhcads, aged 20, Grant Moore,
aged II, and Fay Wilt, aged Is. They
were all highly esteemed and their trag-
ic death is tnourned by the entiIe COM

YORK, AriI 23.-Robert f. Shutter, n
young moulder, aged 30, was obliged to
stop work this morning, ION account of
feeling unwell. On his way home he
stopped at Goodllng's hotel and took a
drink. AS the bar-keeper was making
change Shutter noticed revolver in
the money drawer and asked to look at
it. In handling it was discharged, the
ball entering Shutters heart, killing
him almost instantly. The Coroner's
jury could not decide whether it was
suicide or accident.

A Big Fish Catches a Little Boy.

From the Gastonia Gazette.
A little boy at Lineberger's factory,
on the South Fork, went fishing one
day last week. His mother soon heard
him calling for help. She ran down to
the river and found that the boy had
hooked fish SO large that it had pulled
him into the river. Determined to
save the fish, the youngster, who is an
expert swimmer, had thrnst his hand
and arm into the ish's mouth and out
at the gill. His mother drew both to
the bank in safety. The fish was an
immense trout, weighing eight pounds.
That boy is credit to North Carolina.

LEBANON. April 24.-The indication of
the discovery of gold in paying quanti-
ties near Meyerstown, this county have
raised considera bic hope here. The
Clark mining company after careful
tests Of ores haYe determined to erect
IA smelling furnace with capacity for
twelve tons. The company consists of
DR.. NJ. G. Kreitz, Ii. G. Kreitz and A a.
Rex, of Philadelphia, and William
Kreitzer, of Bloomington, Illinois.
They are all practical men, active and
enterprising. Iiecett analysis shows
five per cent. of gold and other valuable
metals in considerable quantities. The
mine has reached depth of thirty feet
and the prospects grow brighter as the
work progresses.

In readjusting the tariff, an import
ant feature should be to restore the
duty on wool and to reduce that on
wooden goods. The grower must be
protected as we'll as the manufacturer,
but the present tariff gives bonus to
the latter, while the former is left to
take care of himself. 1t was the abo-
lition of the wool tariff by the last
Congress that caused the Republican
defeat in Ohio, and unless the Demo-
Gratis are true to their promise in re-
storing that tariff, not only Ohio, but
all the wool growing states in the
Union, with the probable exception of
Texas, will go against the party in the
presidential contest.

BRADsTREET's of this week says !:
Tennessee has at least four sources of
wealth Its fertile fields, that produce
every crop known in this country, its
manufactures, its minerals, and its
immense wealth of valuable timber"
1t seems that the world is just awaken
ing to the vast resources of our State,
and it requires no prophetic vision to
tell that since its great advantages have
been discovered and acknowledged it
will ere long be one of the wealthiest
and most prosperous states in the
Union, as it is now one of the most
favored by nature. Added to what
Bradstreet says, may be mentioned its
temperate climate and superior geo.
graphical situation. Tennessee is des-
tined to be great state in the near
future.

CONGRESSMAN HOLMAN, of Indiana,
popularity known as "The Great OBJ
jector," and who has been brought into
prominence as the New York Suns
candidate for the Presidency, has been
interviewed. He is not a candidate
for the Presidency, and favors Tilden
for the. Democratic nomination. He
thinks that internal revenue taxation
should be abolished. He favors a rev.
enue tariff which he says @has been
the traditional policy of the party"
He says, "The Democratic party is
now, and has been from the beginning,
in the main, composed of laboring
men, and it is not at all likely that
such party would, by hasty and in
considerate legislation, or in any other
way, impair the interest of productive
industries"

THE CHRONICLE has been unceasing
in its endeavors to awaken the people
of GAINESVILLE to a full realization of
the advantages that lie within
their reach for making this city great
manufacturing center, and to persuade
them to avail themselves OF such adj
vantages. In this effort the CHRoNI-
Gle has been ably seconded by gen.
tleman who is at once a leading citizen
OF this city and a man of broad intelli-
gence. We direct especial attention
to his communication, which is to be
found elsewhere in this issue, and
hope it will have a beneficial influ-
ence in squirting our.capitalists to ac-
ton.

THE FUTURE or cLARKsnLLs.

To the Chronicle
In a former communication the
future growth and prosperity of
GAINESVILLE was considered, as de-
pending entirely upon the deI elop-
ment of its immense manufacturing
resources. Located on stream,
navigable by steamers of fifteen
hundred tons burden, within a few
miles of inexhausrible iron ore of
the very best quality, and Surround
ed by extensive forests Astounding
in great variety with both hard and
soft wood, suitable for all architect
ual purposes, and also for the con-
strnction of furniture, vehicles, and
implements of all kinds, it was said
to lack but one thing, needful to
give it that vigorous industrial inn
pulse which is now confidently be-
lieved to be near at hand. But the
essential deficiency referred to, has
hitherto rendered all the wealth of
low hA0tOaAdA hAOi1lAOuOus fdiuClCSS
to us. That our great want was
seen to be an abundant supply of
COAL AND COKE
laid down here as cheap as else
where. That these necessary arti-
cles are now in sight, is thing OF
fact satisfactorily demonstrated.
The Crabtree Coal Mining Compa-
ny, of which the Hon. G. G. Smith
is the enterprising president, is now
successfully working a mine, rich
and exhaustless, from which all the
demands of a city of half a million
of people may be fully supplied.
This coal is designated by the geoI-
igists of Kentucky No. II, and that
it is capable of being profitably
cooked is sufficiently proven by the
following tests, made by Mr.. John
Fulton, geological mining engineer
of the Cambria Iron and Steel
Works, at Jamestown, Pa:

When the material is exhibited, the
only question with them is that of

less cost than the Louisville ba;id-

Ripley News: George Johnson, col, who
lives on James Alsabrook's farm near Dou-
BILE Bridges, took his child, ten year old
boy. Monday morning, and gave him very
severe whipping and left him with his
hands tied up to the joists of the house, and
went to the field to pick cotton. About IL
o'clock the mother of the child came in and
found him standing up in the floor dead.
This unmerciful and brutal whipping was
given because the boy had stolen some
chestnuts and sold them. Johnson was
brought to Ripley and had trial, and was
lodged in jail.

Dickson Press: We offer the suggestion to

groves of black walnut. This very valuable
tree can be grown from the nut, producing
a butt twelve to fifteen inches in diameter
in as many years, or perhaps less, in our
climate. 1t requires particular care,
makes an elegant tree even in its youth, and
later offers agreeable shade. No tree
valuable for its timber in cabinet uses, that

this variety for rapidity of growth, or adap-

which are really valueless for agricultural

Colonel Archie Campbell makes an
amusing mistake in one of his inter
esting letters from the Pacific slope to
the Wheeling mtelligencer. 1t was
Slnbad the, the sailor, he says, who was
monarch of all he surveyed, who ex-
claimed: Better dwell in the midst of
alarms than reign in this horrible
place" No, it was not Sinbad who
said that, but Robinson Crusoe, accord
ing to the poet Cowper.-Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette.
Mistaken again, as usual. Robinson
Crusoe was written by Peter Farley
Memphis Ledger
Such ignorant assertions are an in
suit to the pure and guileless faith of
all the English speaking boys who
have lived for century past. Robin
son Crusoe is true story and was
either written by old Robin himself or
his man Friday. We appeal to Bob
White, of the Lebanon Herald, to say
if our statement is not the correct one.
