The thriving little town Of Taunton,
an inland village in New England, was
the scene Of our story Among its busi-
ness men, in fact, the busiest Of them
all, was Frank Aull, a jeweller by trade,
a very expert, ingenious workman, and
universally esteemed for honesty and
faithfulness. He was youthful and mer-
ry hearted cheerful at his work, and
singing like lark morning and night.
He was kind tor, and obliging-had

No wonder Frank Aull became favo-

to the card of the old and extensive house Of
MORGAN i Co., Dry Goods Jobbers, which
will be found in another column.
The house of MORGAN & Co. is too well
and favorably known throughout the South
west to require recommendations or letters
of credit from the press of the city. The
house is known to be among the most reliable
in the West, and enjoys the highest conf
dence of the trade everywhere.
Messrs. MORGAN & Co. have brought on an
unusually large stock of goods, having made
heavy purchases from the manufacturers of
England and France, and will open the fall
trade with such facilities for supplying the
retail dealer with full supplies as few other
houses out of the larger Northern cities
possess.

The shout which went up at this open and
candid renunciation of disunion Democracy
and its leaders, will long be remembered by
the thousands who heard it.
Col. MCCoNN1Co, whose clarion voice seems
never to lose any of its strength and melody,
made one of his finest rallying speeches,
words of thrilling eloquence and poetic
beauty falling from his lips like pearls, and
eliciting constant applause.
At the conclusion of Col. McCoSSIco's
speech, Col. C. C. CRowE was called for long
and loudly. Col MCC. announced that Col.
Grove was suffering from sore throat. and
could not speak; but hundred voices cried
out "Let him stand up any how-we want

the happy effect which always attends his

Free schools of Nashville.
NO. 2S.

A few extracts from the school laws of New
York, will give some idea OF the means by
which such economy and excellence are at
tanned in their schools, and they will enable
the people to see the ridiculous absurdity Of
trusting the dearest interests of the people,
to one set of men, who are accountable to no
one, for the most absurd extravaganza or
gross neglect of the duties entrusted to them.
a little examination into the school laws in
other cities will enable the people to see that
there can be no hope of economy or eficien-
cy in the schools until a total reorganization
is made and that there is no hope of this
being done until the people take the mat
ter into their own hands, and the sooner
they do that, the better. The patient
people should wake up to the unprecedented
and incredible fact that they have allowed q
