TREADING ON THEIR CORNS
The Harrisburg Patriot of Friday last
contained the • hollowing in reference to tiL
spirited little spat between one of the
members of the House, from this county,!
(Mr. Hit.ws) and several other members :
•
• "Quito a little breeze was raised in the'
!mine yesterday when .Mr. Hillis called ate
tention to the rule prohibiting strangerti
from coming Within the bar of the house
except by special invitation: He said he
noticed that on appropriation days
1 an unusually large number of strangers
were on the • floor leaning over members
shoulders, urging them to. vote for appro. '
priations in which the strangers were
often more interested than the members.
This insulted Messrs. • Billingsley and
Clarke and they were vociferous in their
objections to aspersions being cast upon
their characters. The controversy closed
by Hillis remarking that be did not know
so many gentlemen were tender on this
subject. It looked for a little while as if
somebody's_tiddress would be required."

to say to the wary clerk, who insisted on
knowing for what use it was wanted, that
her mother had the . toothache. Mr. 1.,
(depot agent of this place,) came dimn
from the depot during the forenoon, and
on going into his wife's room, found her
'on the bed in a deep sleep, and the bottle
on a stand, half emptied of its contents.
On making inquirieS of his ~little- datigh;•

ATHENS NOTES.
Extremely warm weather and frequent
showers combine to mane a season of
rapid growth in vegetation, and the prUs
pect for abundant crops is excellent,. Ser
vices were held here yesterday in honor
of ' the fallen defenders of liberty and
right. First, the Franklin Guards, ac
companied by Perkins Post Band, went
over the river to decorate the graves-of
CoL John Franklin and Major Zephon
Flofwer, whose - remains rest in a shady
nook near the residence of Z. F, Walker,
Esq. These
.were_WTiots of the Revolu
tion,. and thole peat -great-grand-child-
ren marched beneath the colors their sac
rifices had helped establish among the
nations. Mr. A. H. Spalding made a short
address, reviewing the life of Col. Franklin,
and in fitting terms honored his memory
and commended his virtues. A large Hag
floated to the breeze half way up a cam
paign pole'hi Mr.. Walker's yard, and by
hini the graves are kept in suitable order.
Plain marble slabs mark theiz resting
places, and bear these inscriptions , :
Col. John Franklin, died March 1;1831,
aged 83.
Zephon Flower, aged 89.--18.
CoL John Franklin's wife died January
81 1 , 1884, aged 88, and rests by his side.

perhaps fatal to thousands. He held his
listeners in 'suspense, and then bringing
them to think of those whose graves cur
'round us as a part of the sacrifice for lib
erty, the speaker impressed the duty of
ever keeping green their memory. The ad

wounded, and once nearly bled to death,
as he,- being placed betweep two-wounded
comrades, made the journey from Cold
- 121arboito the White House. Both his
companions died upon the. way. The first
blood which he saw shed in battle, was
from a school chum, and he could only
catch him in his arms and listen to his
dyidg words. Such are the terrors of war,
and the thought that where there are vic
tors, there must be vanquished, gives the
human misery, caused by thein,.propor
tione at once shocking and sublime.. Mrs.
Vanderslice acsompanies her husband, and

friends, and their widening circle will be

furnished excellent and ap'propriate music
for the occasion, and the baud rendered
their part nicely. The voice of Miss
Hattie Lane, of Waverly, gave special
charm to the songs of the Club, and her
presence and singing added luster to
the party of ladies and gentlemen who re
prired from the church to the residence of
