The annual dinner of tho Tobacco
Club, held January lG, at the Gait
House Louisville, Ky, inspired ne
hotel management to provide ,. bill
of fare, the like of which, + .om an
epicurean point of view has been
but seldom equaled and. never ex-
celled. We have a copy of the
menu before US. IT is beautifully
printed on pale blue paper. The
dishes are few, but of the choicest
kinds, and are set forth with their
English names. The wines are of
superb quality. The list of toasts
sclntillates with apt quotations. A
piece of tin-foil, representing the
wrapper of package of "fne-cut,"
is pasted on the back of the page
which contains the menu, and bears
the inscription: "IIere is your good
health and family's. May they live
long and prosper" The whole forms
a unique and exceedingly clever pro-
ductien, and one which does the
Gait House great credit,-Ddily Nat

enormous spider which was killed in a
house. The creature was found cling
ing to n door curtain, and when
alarmed emitted grating sound, but
whether with its mandibles or with its
feet could not be ascertained. 1t
showed no disposition to run away, or
even to move from the spot where it
was till it was thrown down, when it was
killed with blow OF stick. 1t is
quite two inches in length and half an
inch in breadth, and the two segments
of the body are equal in size. 1t is dis
tinctly short legged for spider but
the eight legs are very strong and
heavy. The body, too, is covered with
fine short hair, and is all OF Il dark
brown color. The two fangs are like
u sparrow's claws, and exceedingly
sharp, and if stretched out straight
would, with the heshy part, measure
nearly half an inch each. l find il
difficult to convey an adequate impress
sion Of the terrible and formidable APP
pearance of the monster. The com
mon large running spider, to be found
in every house In Calcutta, unhesi-
tatingly tackles and destroys the largest

this spider ought TO make its prey of

In that section.
On the first day of January the city
treasury had several thousand dol
lars left over fromllast year. Where
are the prophets that predicted the
bankruptcy of the treasury and lar
ger taxes?
We have new tobacco factory,
new ice factory, new railroad on
the way, new tobacco exchange on
foot, new tobacco warehouse build
ing, our newspapers are more alive,
and our business houses have never
been so thoroughly awake. These
facts are known and ackno wledged

kill the town. Who is there that
will say the prospects of the whisky
town Of GAINESVILLE compare with
ours?

cured the services of an able and

has worked efficiently without pay
