noting immigration to Tennessee

desired that all persons will lend
their aid in furtherance Of the pur-
poses for which this convention is
called.

AU Fools Day.

Next Wednesday is "All Fools
Day" The custom Of making fools
on the LIST Of April is said to have
begun from the mistake Of Noah in
sending the dove out of the Ark be-
fore The waters had abated, on the
first day Of the month among the
Hebrews, which answers to the list
Of April; and to perpetuate the
memory Of this deliverance it was
thought proper, whoever forgot
SO. remarkable circumstance, to
punish them by sending them upon
some sleeveless errand similar to
thatineffectual message upon which
the bird was sent by the Patriarch.
The custom appears to be of great
antiquity, and to have been derived
by the Romans from some Of the
Eastern nations.
