with the Indian agent, TO whom
he revealed his true orders, he learned
that the convict, frightened by pre-

THE Board of Directors of the
public school have again been dis
appointed in securing a superinten-
dent. Mr.. Baggerly, the gentleman
employed, was attacked with heart
disease and forced to cancel his con-
tract. In the mean time the schools
have been carried on in a most ex-
ceIlent way by the teachers. The
lady teachers of the Howell school
deserve the highest compliment for
the good order and even manner in
which they have managed affairs,
and so does II. S. Merry, principal
of the colored school,
Since the above went in type, we
learn that the Board has employed
Mr.. J. w. Graham, of Nashville, as
Superintendent. Mr.. Graham ia
vored us with call, in company
with Mr.. Leopold Bloch Thursday
afternoon. He is gentleman ap-
parently about 40 years old, of good
address and prepOssessing appear
ance. He organized the schools in
Edgefeld, before that f1ourishing
suburb became a part of the city OF
! Nashville, and has had long eX'
perience as teacher. He will enter
on his duties Monday, and will
move his family to GAINESVILLE very
soon.

Temperance Lecture.

Mrs. M. l.. Wells. superintend-
ent OF the organization of the Nat
ionaI Christian Temperance Union,
who comes TO Us with the highest
recommendations as lady Of cult
ure and refinement, and a Virginian
by birth, will give u free lecture
next Thursday evening at z o'clock
at the Broadhurst Institute. The
following extract Is taken from the
Paramount Index, West Virginia.
We trust that she will have large
audience and the ladies are espec-
tally invited to attend:
The lecture of Mrs Wells, on last
FRIDAY evening, drew an audience
of our best people. Anyone having
a prejudice against lady lecturers or
their handling Of their temperance
question, would have that prejudice
moved by hearing Mrs. Wells. She
gave calm dispassionated discussion
from the standpoint of home and
the effect of intemperanee upon the
mother and children. 1t was a plea
for women and children and their
rights to struggle in self defense
against the rum traffic. She made
clear, forcible and eloquent pre-
sentatiOn of the case. Earnest
without being excited, she charmed
her audience from the start, aud
often deeply moved them by her
pathetic illusions TO the curse OF
home and childhood. She has a
voice of marvellous sweetness and
power. The writer has enjoyed the
pleasure of hearing Anna Dickin-
son, Mrs. Livermore, Mrs. Forster,
and a number of the most noted
female orators, but Mrs. Wells elo-
cutionary gifts surpass them all.

A MEETING is called at the Court
House Monday at 10 o'clock, a. M,
to consider the feasibility OF estab-
fishing creamery in GAINESVILLE.
Mr.. Brent, of the firm of Brent q
Co, Chicago, has been in the city
several days for the purpose OF start
ing such an enterprise, and has in
terested some of our leading citizens
in the matter. Among them, we
learn, is Mr.. Bryce Stewart, Capt.
Frank Gracey Mr.. VIVA. M. Daniel
and Others. Mr.. Brent will be pres
ent at the meeting and explain his
plans. He is prepared to make
some business proposition to stock
company for this purpose,if one can
be organized. 1t will require a
CAPITAL of 81, 500. and it thought by
those who ought to know that il
will pay handsomely. A creamery
on this plan has recently been es'
tablished at Trenton, Ky.

Mr.. JAMES f. WILCOX, a WELL
known justice of the peace in this
county, died at his home in the first
district Saturday night, the the
oath inst, aged 80 years. The cause
of his death was typhOid-pneumo-
mia. We are guilty of none of that
over-strained eulOgy which usually
characterizes an obituary notice,
when we say that Mr.. Wilcox was
one of the best citizens of this coun-
ty, and that his loss Will be severe
ly felt. He was man of rare ener-
gy and force of character, and one of
those thorough-going farmers who
constitute the bone and sinew OF
this section. His comparative youth
and robust physique gave promise
of many years OF usefulness, and his
early demise is therefore the more
poignant to his many friends. His
remains were inferred In the Wilcox
burying ground on the Polk Prince
place, Monday.

Cumberland River.

This thoroughfare Is taking some
thing of the prominence as an aV-
enue of commerce that once char
acterized it as one of the busiest
streams in the South. Every steam
err that passes our wharf receives
and puts of freight. Four boats
passed here Wednesday and We'd
nesday might've up and two
down. We learn from the agents
of the Ryman line that more wheat
has been shipped this season by
boat alone, than has been exported
for years. Also, that freights are
cheaper by river from Evansville
than by rail. We are glad to see
the river trade taking the rank II
deserves in a matter of commercial
prosperity.

Amnsemenrs.

Mr.. Robert McWade delighted
large audience at the Opera House
Friday night with the presentation
of "Trip Van Wrinkle" The night
was a worse one than that on which
Rips enraged frou Is related to have
driven him off TO the CatskIlls, or
otherwise the house would have
been crowded to overflow.
Mr.. McWade is an actor, and rises
a long ways above the clownlsh buff
foonery which is frequently present
ed to US as comedy. His conception
and representation of IrviDgs jolly
vagabond is complete, but, unfortu-
nately, Mr.. McWade is not allowed
to play the real story of Rip Van
Wrinkle. Joe Jefferson has the ex-
elusive right to the decentralization
made by BDucicAult, we believe,
and the thing McWade presents is
weak imIrlitatIon, shorn OF much
that gives point and merit to the
original play. Therenowned Dame
Gretchen" Inasquerades as an I'M
periou5 shrew named "Eda," and
some of the best points OF the play
are either too elumsily presented
for recognition or left out altogether.
For instance, when Rip returns at
ter his long sleep, there is an cleo
ton in progress, but this circum-
stance loses all significance because
he fails to respond to those who ask
him what candidate he supports:
81 am loyal subject of his Majesty
King George the Third, God bless
him I" "Give him cold potato
and let him 60" is not heard, and
everybody must miss that sentance
which Mr.. Jefferson utters with
such inilnitabIe effect: "If my little
dog SCHNEIDER was here he would
know me-" Rips toast, which is
as famous as he is, "May you live
long and prosper" is spOilt by
changing the last word into "be
happy" and the entire plot under
goes a material alteration. The
game of nine pins on the mountains
is not well presented and Rip does
not steal the liquor that causes his
long sleep, but has it presented to
him, as If it were the design of the
hob gOblins to ensnare him into the
protracted slumber. One OF the
most characteristic features of the
play is thus spoiled.
1t has never seemed right to us
that Rip Van Wrinkle should be
made to speak in broken English
while his neighbors and friends
have no foreign accent. Irving's
story represents that he was mem
Der of Dutch colony, and he and
the people among whom he lived
all spoke the language of the coun-
try their ancestors came from. He
was not raw importation from
Germany among lot of native
Americans, as the actors represent.
But for all this, we don't often
have anything in GAINESVILLE as
good as Mr.. McWade and we hope
he will come to Zee us often in the
/ future.

Our New Jail.

A CHRONICLE reporter, in search
of items happened to 20 to the
county Jail Thursday, and took in
the workings of that institution.
Mr.. William Rollow, the jailor,
carried us to the new portion OF the
building, and showed the workman
ship thereof. The ground floor, or
basement of this part of the build
ing, is composed of four dungeons,
and very strong, gloomy looking
ones they are. The second floor
also has four cells, which are on a
level with the front entrance of the
old JAIL. The third story is one
large room, containing the cage.
These cages, made by K. Gaiser d
Son, are models OF symmetry and
strength. The cage is composed of
the best quality of iron, about one
fourth of an inch in thickness, bolt
ed together at each cross, and leaV-
ing the cracks between the bars
about an inch and a half square.
The cage is 80 feet long by 20 broad
and is divided in the middle by a
solid iron partition, making virtu-
ally two cages, 10 by 10 feet.
The floor of the third story Is
composed OF four fioors,-tirst one
of popular plank, then heavy
scantIing laid on that, several inches
apart and filled between with &C.
ment. On top of this is laid floor
of pine, and on this the cages are
built. The new portion of the build
ing will not be ready for occupants
for some weeks yet.
Mr.. Rollow has nineteen board
ers at present, and judging from the
looks of the dinner carried to the
prisoners he is a liberal landlord
The occupants seemed in excellent
spIrits-When dinner was served
them. We think the present jailol
is the right man in the right place,

LITTLE Hattie Walker, aged
about six years, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. r. II. Walker, of New Provi-
dence, happened to an extremely
painful and dangerous accident
Thursday morning. While she and
her youngest brother were playing
around the crate, her apron caught
fire, and before she and the little
boy could remove it, she was envel-
oped in flames. Her cries brought
her mother, who was in another
part OF the house, to her rescue, and
the fire was extinguished, not, how
ever, before severe burns on the
face, neck and arms had been sus-
tanned by the child. The little snf-
ferer was thought to be doing well
at last accounts.
