FINE STOCK FARMS.

FINE STOCK FARMS
The raising Of fine stock in Tennessee has become
fixed fact, and we satisfied our soil, climate
andprOduets admirably suited for the free and full
development of all kinds Of animals that are raised
for home foreign market. The great extent of
Tennessee, her diversified soil and surface, render
portions better adapted to stock raising than
others, hence we find many persons endeavoring to
find out, by actual observation or otherwise, the
most suitable places in point of location, neverfai
ing creek water, springs. &C., with view Of engag-
ing in raising Stock the leading pursuit of their
life. The continued increase in the consumption OF
beef and bacon, always commanding the cash, and
the constant demand for mules and horses, at as
tOnishingly high prices, and fancy stock, with pri
ces almost amounting to prohibition, has awakened
the people, and caused man. to give the subject of
stock raising serious thought. For the benefit of
those wishing purchase good in fact superior farm
lands, would state that an opportunity is now
offered and that, too in a section of country equal
TO any in the State aude of course to the large
tract advertised by GEO. GLAsoOoK, ESQ, lying in
Warren county, Immediately the stage road lead.
iug from MurfreesbOrO' 10 McMinnville, and only
nine miles from the latter place, and within seven
miles Of the Manchester and AlcMinnville Railroad.
This tract contains 1000 acres of most excellent
land, the soil being well adapted to the cultivation
of corn, wheat, oats and all the small grains and
domestic grasses A portion Of this tract is imprOv
ed, there being eight ten cultivated farms,
with cottages independent of the beautiful residence
Of the proprietor The whole tract has been recent
" surveyed and laid off in small FARMS containing
from 100 to 500 acres, and all fronting public
road The land not cleared is finely timbered with
oak, poplar, hickory, walnut and other descriptions
of trees producing mast 10 great abundance. In
point of society it enjoys many advantages, church
es, schools, and mills convenient, while the Man

distant, affords outlet to market The healthfu-
of this portion of Middle Tennessee is proverb
ial it being the summer retreat for many persons
from the South The entire tract will be sold at

NASHVILLE RACEs-SECOND DAY.
There were two races yesterday over the Nashville
course the first for purse of $4,000 the second for
a purse of $l2OO,OO-cash hung up. See summary |
annexed for entries
The day was very fine, but the track was heavy
rendered so by the rain that had fallen the pre-
ceeding day The attendance at the course was
good and we were pleased to see the sports encour
aged by the presence of several very beautiful ladies'
As the gentlemanly proprietor, Mr.. Phillips, has
made every arrangement for their comfort, their
certainly be no impropriety in their continuing
grace the amusements of theweek with their pres
ence In this connection we must say that not only
are suitable arrangements made for the accommodation
Of the ladies' but for all who may be pleased to pat
ronise this laudable amusement.
But to the races In the FIRST though there were
1--WE euteres but three horses started-Turner illy,
Barnes FLY and Power and Brashers colt. The /
first named was the favorite at such odds that but
little interest seemed to be manifested in regard to
the result For once the knowing were right. |
The favorite ran with ease 1t is due to the Colt,
however to state that his rider fell of the head
of the back track stretch, giving him chance for
the race, even if he ever had any-which is doubt
ful.

did not rate altogether as high the others yet She
had many sanguine hackers. So confident did the |
hackers Of the respective horses seem, that an i'm
mense amount Of money changed hands on the re
suit When the horses appeared upon the track. It
was evident that neither Kate Hays or the gray FLY
was in good condition. The former showing signs
Of disemper the latter having the left fore leg very
much swollen. Yet their friends wavrcred not, bu.

three heats were required was evident she did not
make q move for the first, which won by Breath
