re- Do you wish TO make profitable invest
ment? Then buy few vacant lots in The suburbs
of our beautiful city, and improve them. It is a
fact that the demand for residences is greater than
the supply Comfortable houses are being erected
in and near the city, but they are to be occupied
by the owners, already rented out. Every
one able and intending to settle permanently, buys
lot and improves it, Hundreds, not able TO build,
rent. 1t would be a good move if some Of our
moneyed men would take portion Of the capital
employed in shaving notes and invest il 10 suburb
an residences. THIS would yield them handsome
profit, supply families with cheap houses, and be a
means of enlarsing and identifying our city.

Bold BURGLARY. Yesterday morning between
and o'clock, the Jewery Store Of Messrs Camp
bell g. DGnigan, corner Of Union and College streets,
was robbed Of between 81 900 and 81 500 worth
Of silver ware. The robbery was committed by
burglars, who affected entrance by boring
through the door fronting on Union street remov-
ing the shutter and after breaking ont one Of the
large panes Of glass, crawling through the opening
thus made. CPon examination it appears that
they had previously tried to get into the store
by rai-ing up portion Of the steps leading
from the street TO McLeau's Daguerrean Rooms,
aud had also bore into tie Partition there. This
i daring burglary having been perpetrated
on a public street az time Of day when num-
bers OF our citizens pass on their way to market;
aud we learn that woman passing the
Tascals at work, but supposins they merely
irving 60 arouse some one inside, gave no alarm.
For excuse Of the night watch, We will add that
that they had retired from watching but a short
time baiore the robbery occurred.
1t is probable that had the gas light on the opPO-
site side OF the street been burning. this piece of
villainy had never taken place. The custom Of
putting out the gaslig h;s at midnight ought 10 be
abolished
Since the above was written, we learn that Thos
Wilson and J. X Grant, have been identified 10y
the woman mentioned above as the persons she
saw. They were arrested and taken before Re
corder RAwonu, who committed them to Jail to
await an examination next Friday.
Musical NovELTY.-Pari-iau and London
journals OF recent date make favorable mention Of
a novelty IN the way Of at Illustrated Musical En-
terlJiument the music Of character that en-
poyed simultaneously the senses Of hearing aud
sight. Tie effect Is said TO have been sublime, the
audience being aroused to the highest degree of
emotion.
We arc pleased to learn that the Principals OF
the Nashville Academy OF MUSIC, nave taken steps
20 introduce something of the kind here at an early
day. For their success they will doubtless have
the well wishes of all lovers Of music in our city.
Capt joins S. DAsHIELL, President of the Fire
Association, in a letter published in the Gazette Of
yesterday, handsomely acknowledges the recep
ton of a donation OF 5000 from the "Tennesse Ma
rine and Fire Insurance Company" to be divided
amongst the several Fire Companies Of this city,
as a testimonial Of its sense of their extraordinary
exertions on the LIST inst. 'in saving property from
being consumed" The Company deserves credit
for this exhibition Of its Hoeraty. The worthy
Captln closes his letter as follows:
Be assured gentlemen, that should aHy occasion
for our services ever arrive (Which most fer
vently wish NAV not often occur for the protection
of YOU o. anv of our fellow citizens remembrance
OF this, aud the many ftvors already received, will
cause renewed cGertion, our part to return in a
small proportion kindness which Firrmen can full
ly feet, though thev may but inadcquately tell in
words their gratitude.
