Vmrtj Trrl High Monday afternoon about 1 : 30 o'clock a sad accident occurred at Kern's new building, Market Square, which resulted in the almost Instant death of one man aud the seriously in juring of another. The firm of Hawk- Ins, Butt A Co. having the contract for the galvanized iron cornice work of that building, were making prepara tions to commence the work. The two young men referred to Enos Warters and Mike Burchell Mr. Hawkins and two other men were to commence the work. In the morning, Just before dinner, THE SCAKFOI.l) had been fastened and thoroughly tried in the usual way, and being con sidered perfectly safe was hoisted to the proper place. Alter dinner the twoyouug meu returned to their work aud were sitting on the scaffold await ing the arrival of Mr. Hawkinsto give them some directions. Mr. Hawkins aud the other men arrived, and before stepping down on the scalfold them selves, as they intended to uo, were handing down some or lue coruice to be used, which was being received by young Warters, and as he reached out his hands for the material one of the iron rods supporting the scaffold gave way aud M It. WARTERS WAS HURLED HEAI- LONO TO THE GROUND, a distance of about forty feet, falling on bis head and crushing iu his skull.

We will, how ever, hope so. MIKE BURCHELL, The other young man on the scaffold, made a very narrow escape. Being near the pulley rope, he managed to get hold of it. but just how, he, him self, can not say, aud thus came down, but Willi such rapidity that the rope took all the tlesb Irom his hands, lay lug the hones bare.

In llleinorlnin After a most painful aud protracted illness, Mrs. J. L. Lloyd departed this life at 15 minutes of 6 o'cldck, p. m., on the 4th of November, 1875. She was the daughter of Eltheldred and E. 8. Henderson, and sister of Col. Wm. A. Henderson, so favorably known in East Tennessee. She was born in Knoxville on the 13lh of May, 1834. Was converted and joined the M. E. Church when quite a girl. She lost her futber when a little child. Her widowed mother, her then little brother, with herself, constituted a trio, winch has .clung together through long years of those trials " which lleth Is heir to," without fait' eriug. Now the bond is broken, "one is taken, the others lert." She bad superior intellect, and the advantage of a good education. She studied under Rev. Dr. Park, aud also under Kev. Dr. Hullius. On the lUth of July, 1857, Mary A Heudesou and Kev. J. lu. Lloyd were married in Knoxville. In about one year from that time they moved to Alabama, where she felt it her duty to unite with her husband lu the fel lowship of the Good Hope Baptist Church, in Butler county, and was baptized by Elder David Lee, the Moderator or the A labama Baptist As sociation. Since that time she has labored as a pastor's wife, in Athens, Ala., in Meridian. Miss., in Winches- ter.Tenn., and in the favored city of her nativity, uumer work is done. Yes, done to the glory or God, the satlsfac tion of her pastor, and a precious memorial for her motherless children. husband, mother and brother, whose loss is irreparable while be gain is eternal.

Ou tiie second day of the convention. several impoitaut subjecU were dis cussed, the most prominent of which were : the use or lue 'international Series of Lesson Papers," and "Ought the temperance cause to be made a part of the Sunday school work '!" 1 lie questions were thoroughly dis cussed, and niauy Interesting features of the Sunday school work were presented.

It the number or scholars, and about hity per cent, in the number of schools. This is encouraging, and It is hoped that a nourishing Sunday school may be reported to the next convention, from every commuuity in the county A committee of seven Was appointed to organize schools In destitute dis Iricls. The following are a part of the Resolutions which were reported by the committee, aud adopted by the Convention : Resolved. That the Siindav School is, of all human instrumentalities, the best adapted to the promulgation of moral and religious truth among all classes of mankind; that it is themost etlectual agency for reclaiming those who are lu the paths or wickedness, and that it presents the most inviting of all fluids for Christian effort, and the cultivation and development of the Christian virtues. Resolved, That the Suuduy School cause has a strong claim for support upon all men who desire that truth aud virtue may prevail, and that vice and error muy disappear, but more especially upon the Church, to which the Sabbath School has long been a faithful handmaid, uursiug lu their tender years those who have proved the brightest lights and strongest sup ports of the Church. Resolved, That in the true spirit of Christian fraternity, we cordially in vite all proressors or Christianity. without regard to denominational dis tinctions, to unite with us in the sup port and maintenance or baubutn Schools within our borders. Resolved, That sacred uiubIc should be a promlueut feature in the exercis es of every Sabbath School, and that we recommend the Its practice ana cultivation in a much larger measure than at present generally prevails. Resolved, That the religious in struction of children who can Dot read the Scriptures, should be carefully pro vided for; and this convention disap proves of the course frequently pur sued of instructing such alone in the rudiments of temporal knowledge, leaving them ignorant of the great truths of Revelation. Resolved, That the practice whicb so largely prevails among our Sabbath Schools of discontinuing during sev eral months of the year Is a great evil, aud believing that there are in every community at least ten persons who will atteud during the entire year, we pledge ourselves henceforward to dis continue no school to which we may belong when that number cau be pro cured to attend. Resolved, That while the Sacred Scriptures must furnish all our lessons iu the Sabbath School, we recommend the use of other good books, and Sun day School papers, and especially the uniform series of Lesson Papers, as great helps in arriving at a correct knowledge of the truths of Scripture. Resolved. That temperance is taught by the Bible, and ought to be taught iu all Sunday Schools. That the use of intoxicating drinks as a beverage, in any degree, is a practice fraught with danger to the user, aud very per nicious in its Influence upon others. It is, therefore, the seuse of this Convention that all Sunday School teachers and olllcers should carefully abstain from the use of such drinks, aud not only by precept but by a living example inculcate the virtue of temperauce. The Convention also passed a reso lution tendering the thanks of the Convention to the Sevierville Sunday School for their hospitality in enter taining the delegates. The Convention adjourned Satur day evening to meet again iu Sevier ville, subject to a call of the Execu tive Committee. Yours, W. L. Dcjqqan. ' Notice.

To the Editor$ bf the Chronicle; I have lust returned from a fourteen Jays' trip, on horseback crossing and recrosslng, In various directions Ihe mountaius of East Teuuesste and North Carol! ua. As I viewed them last summer, lift ing their lightuiug-scared summits abofe the clouds, clothed with the softest green, I said, "human eyes had never seen ought more grand and beautiful." But now, at the magic touch of the Frost King, the magnifi cent forests, stretching away as far as the eye can reach, are clothed with gorgeous colors such as no language can describe. The rich, red and brown, of the various kinds of oaks is everywhere; while the bright yel low of the )Kiplar, gleams along the mouutaiu fides, lu the golden sunshine, like the buuners of an army, marching on to certain victory; the firs, pines and balsams, near the mountain tops, and olleu down their sides, furnish that fringe, or border of green, which makes the picture complete. Sure ly, if all the rainbows that have ever arched the heavens, since Noah 8 time had fallen, aud lelt tueir robes ou these grand old mountains the colors could not be more beautiful ly blended. Iu every mile of ascent, and descent, In sunshine, and lu the shade or every passing cloud, a new picture of beauty was presented. If the dwellers in the cities and vil lages of East Tennessee, knew what beauty God lavished on their mouii taius, iu the autumn time, they would leave their dwellings, and camp ou the Roau or Bald, or some other magnili- cent outlook, where the soul mighthe tilled Willi a beauty raro Indeed, on this sin cursed earth. It was pleasant to witness every where among the people, tokens of material prosperity. New mills, and dwelling houses are being erected Fat cattle abound, children thronged the highways to the public school at the footof the Iron Mountain, in Mitchell county, North Carolina, un der the vigilaul superintendence of Capt. Jenkins, we found General Wel der's new iron forges, nearly ready for operation. He will make green backs" plenty, in a cove, where hitherto tbey were bard to be obtained They will bring out from the bowels of that mountain, wealth hidden there, by God himself, when He made the world. Mr. D. Jobe, an enterprising woolen manufacturer, of Carter couuty, East Tennessee, Is erecting a new woolen mill on Reem's Creek, twelve miles south of Asheville, and soon the mountains will echo to the time of bis spindles, and click-clack of the flying shuttle. So rapid will be the process or manufacturing, that wool taken from the sheep's back one week, may be on the farmer's back the next. Intelligent industry utilizing our magnificent water-power, with rum aud its twin curse, tobacco, bauisbed, the magnificent mouutaiu country will bloom Into an edeu or beauty. There is one speedy cure for hard times, and sure road to specie pay ment, viz: Let every family earn more than their daily expenses. There never can be good times where the drones outnumber the working bees. In this lust trip I saw one of the four meu who werestruckwilh lightningon Black Mouutaiu, near where we were eugaged in worship, ou Mitchell's Peak. They were striving to join our Early, but the severity of the storm lndered them. The shock was not so severe as to deprive them of life. Ellzabethtou, East Tennessee. The Prevailing Horse Diaeaue. It may not be generally known that the epizootic, or horse disease, which prevailed over the entire country a year or two ago. Is again an epidemic, aud passing over the country in about the same way. Within a few days al most every horse lu the city has shown symptoms of itby hacking aud cough ing. Many horses in the North have died from it, aud our horse owners should see that their horses are not needlessly exposed to cold and wet; that their boweles are kept open, and the experience of two years ago showed that there was nothiug better for that purpose than a warm bran mush mixed with Damon's Stock Powders. These Powders are prepared expressly to keep the stomach of a horse iu good condition, aud when the stomach is right, but little danger is to he appre hended. Marrlaco I.lecnsoa.

New Market, Nov. 5, 1S75. An hour was devoted to prayer for a revival of religion In the churches of East Tennessee at the opening of Synod this morning. Rev. T. I. Lamar, submitted a report of Maryville College, which was ac cepted and ordered to be spread ou the records. The question of a S nodical paper was taken up, when Kev. P. D. Cowuu made a slulement, showing why he had given up tiie ptiblieni ion of the Tennessee Ptesbyter, aud mad" ar rangements with ihe Herald and Pres byter to supply the pi me of bis paper. 'Dr. Monfort, of the Herald ami Pres byter followed, suiting that be regard ed it in very bud taste for a newspaper to be tilled with extracts from letters, showing how' ably it was conducted, ami valuable it was, that such, ttiiuga had happened and a few times iu his absence, but that he disallowed It, aud would not admit such publications, hut allowed the rentiers to judge for them selves. He stated that, he bad always had a deep interest in East Tennessee, more particularly because In 1828, be was converted under the preaching of Dr. F. A. Ross and Rev. James Gulla her, who held revival meetings where was then, a wild young man, but was brought under the influence of the Gospel, at oue of their meetings. Resolutions were adopted recom mending the Herald and Presbyter to the families of the churches lu con nection with Synod. The report of the Committee ou Ed ucation was submitted, aud approved, and a resolution passed pledging an ell'ort on the part of ministers to secure an annual contribution for this object. From the report It appeared that a small majority nf the churches bad contributed nothiug to the cause of ed ucation. The Committee on Home and For eign Missions and Freed men submit ted their reports jointly, and further discussion was postponed until to morrow morning. The night session was given up to the Women's Home and Foreign -Missionary Society, and an address from Mrs. Rhea, the widow of East Tennessee's Missionary who died in Persia. The report of this the third annual session. of the Women's Synodical Missionary Society was read, from which it appeared there are in its con nection eighteen auxilliary societies, of these three sent no reports. During the past year they had contributed $407.87, aud they had elected Rev. P. D. Cowan to deliver their annual ad dress. While Mrs. Rhea was speaking the thought forced itself upon the mind: What would the accusers of Theodore Cuyler, of a few years ago do, were they present to bear this genuine Pres byterian woman talk in public? Aud were forced to the conclusion that if they, or any others so radically op posed to women appearing in public, would ouly listen a few moments would have been forced to hang their heads from shame. The beauties of gospel truths and triumphs of foreign missionary labors, as well as its trials aud struggles, were presented in sucb a forcible, yet humble uud sweet way as we never beard before, disapprov ing al the same time iu unmistakable language, this Victoria Woodhull Wo raeu's Rights movement. w.
