remarkable are to be found in the growing village Of
R8ae6eld It has been the history of,an large ei-

fer private residences. The same thing is being e4-
hibited at this time in Edgeheld and the fact is but
another proof Of the growth Of Nashville itself The

Be surprised 10 witness the number Of large and
substantial houses, which are being erected there by
some OF our best citizens Some Of them exhibit the
marks Of much taste, comfort and beauty. We do
not doubt that in a very few years the attention Of
our business men viii be directed very generally to
Edgefeld as place Of residence. Choice lots on
this side the river are already held at so e1ra7agant
price, that very few afford 10 purchase andiH
prove In fact there are now very few such lots for
sale at any price. There is no other outlet st

These considerations have given sn upward ten |

J. L. R. W. Brown propose to do the same on
Tuesday, the 8lst inst. We have personal inter

many passing events, and especially as 50 many
marks Of the growth Of our population and the i'm

the most eloquent description
.FATAI AcCIDES7.-Mr. z. c. Glasgow, in the en-
ployment Of Hart Mscrae, was found under the
suspension bridge yesterday morning dead, his body
being mangled in q most dreadful manner. To al
appearances he had fallen of the bridge, distance
Of about 40 feet on the rocks below, causing in
Simultaneous death. It appears from the testimony
given at the ineues that the deceased spent the
ing in company with Mr.. W. D. Yante Of the firm Of
Ysnte & Ashbuy, Of Fayetteville. They visited the
Auotion Store and the Theatre. After which Trey
sroed TO the bridge to witness a steamboat pass I'M
der While waiting for the boat to up, the de-
ceased sat on the railing with his feet hanging over

induce him to get of; the deceased remarked there
was no danger, that he merely wished to rest him
self Mr. Yante then went further on the bridge to
obtain better view of the boat being absent about
twenty minutes, when he returned young Gl- sgOw
had disappeared tits presumed that being fatigued
and drowsy he unconsciously went to sleep and ell

PExNASsH1P.-We have recently had OppOrtu- Z
nifty of examining specimens in writing BY number
Of Mr. DOLBEAR's pupils, and comparing the same
with their writing before they commenced taking les
sons from that gentleman, and from the great i'm
provement all have made, are fully satisfied OF E
his ability to mpsrt pupils Of ordinary aptitude
and industry an ease and grace which cannot be &C
ouired under the old system. We have particularly
noticed the progress of youth under Mr. DoLBEAR's
instruction having taken his first lesson in the art
from that gentleman, and have been surprised as
we'll as gratifcd at his rapid improvement Hehas
only taken about twelve lessons and writes quite
neat and rapid hand Parents who wish their chill
dren to acquire easy and elegant style OF writing,
should BY all means embrace the present Op9ortuni-
II Of placing them under Mr.. DOLBEARs instruction;
aud ladies and gentlemen desiring to improve their
writing should not fail to take lessons from him,
the improvement they will be able to make viii be
worth more than ten times the tuition to thom. Il
will be seen from Mr. DoLBEARs advertisement that
new pupils will be received after the Goth Of April
