STATE NEWS.


We learn that Miss MARY MARSHALL,
daughter of Mr. HORACE MARSHALL, re-
siding near Clarksville, Montgomery county,
on Tuesday last, committed suicide BY hang
ing herself She was apparently in good
health, and after eating a hearty breakfast
went out to take a walk. While out she, it
is supposed, procured a rope, and then re-
turned to her room. Half an hour after
wards some one having occasion to go to
her room, called, and receiving no answer,
sent for Mr.. MARSHALL, who broke down
the door and found his daughter hanging by
the neck, her kuess touchiDgtEeA floor, though
instantly cut down, life was nearly extinct,
and lingering few moments she died.
- We Learn that THOMAS DOYLE, citi-
zen of this county, living near Cedar Hill,
an employee on the E. & K. r. R., few
days since in attempting to get on the train,
whilst in motion, lost his hold, falling for
ward across the ties, receiving such injuries
as to cause his death in a short time.
The Columbia Herald, of yesterday has
the following: We are informed that the re-
port prevails abroad that there have been
several cases of cholera in Columbia. The
report Is entirely destitute of truth. 1t has
not shadow of foundation. There has not
been single case of cholera here or near
here. On the contrary, the town and vicin-
ity was never freer from sickness of all
kinds.
We regret to learn that interested and
INSCRIPTIONS parties have been circulating
the report through the country that farmers
were compelled to pay the three cents on
their cotton before they could ship it from
their gins. The design of these parties is to
buy the cotton ii the seed.
= We are gratifed to see the new crop of
cotton coming into market. In our judg-
ment men will do well to sell as soon as they
can.
The Lebanon Herald, of yesterday, has the
following in relation to Cholera:
Considerable excitement was manifested
in our town on last Sunday, and considers
bic fears have existed since that time, in
consequence of the death from cholera, in
this place of German citizen of Nashville.
The name of the diseased was -- KUHN.
He arrived here from Nashville on Satur-
day night, apparently in good health, and
stopped at the house of Mr.. GEORGE TREI-
BIER, where it is said he drank a quantity of
lager beer. The next morning he was at
tackled with cholera and died in few hours.
The corporation authorities used every pre-
caution against the spread of the disease,
and, thanks to the energy displayed, have
been successful, no other case having APP
peared. We hope our citizens will not give
way to any unnecessary alarm. 1t Is the
duty of every one now to do all IN his pow
er to quiet the fears of his neighbor, for per-
sons under the influence of fear are much
more liable TO be attacked
We are informed that two or three cases
have appeared among the negroes living
near Hartsville. As we have nothing re-
liable on the subject, we forbear comment
for the present.
We learn from good authority that four
deaths from cholera have occurred ten miles
south of Smithville. The disease was car
ried there by a gentleman who had been
travelling in the North. Great excitement
is said to exist among the people of DeKalb
on account of these cases. We think, how
ever, the healthfA breezes from the noun
tains are pretty certain to blow it away.
The Franklin ReUieU, ofyesterday, says of
cholera:
Absurd rumors have been ahoat for some
days that we were inflicted with this terrible
scourage. Two or three cases have died
here, but they were persons who had fed
from Nashville. No case has yet appeared
among the citizens. Our sanitary condition
as a town is better than ever was known,
and our people are exceedingly CAUTIOUS and
prudent
The Murfreesboro Monitor, OF yesterday,
says:
We hear that a member Of the ''touch
lightly but stick tightly club" had pilfered
the lamps from the colored baptist church.
This might be termed making dark objects
blacker, without the use of paint or pot IT'S
said that the leaves of the bible have been
stolen until there is barely sufficient to take
a text from it, and that BEADLE's dime
novels are used at present for texes and
economy-not on account of sentiment or
doctrine.
- We are glad to notice, as an evidence
of the growing prosperity of our city, that
Bank, entitled the Murfreesboro Savings
Bank, is about being established. The stock
has been subscribed, and it is in the hands Of
our first class business men.
- Our city still remains clear Of cholera,
but not altogether calm on the question.
- The Gallatin Examiner, of yesterday,
says:
We are happy to be able to state again
that the health of the town continues excel
lent, and entirely free from cholera.
- Heavy and frequent rains have fallen
the past week. The weather has been very
cool, with several frosts.
= The GAINESVILLE Chronicle, of Friday,
says of cholera:
On this subject, we are happy to be able
to repeat what was said last week-that up
to this date, there has not been case here.
On Thursday evening of last week, We
learn that Mr.. JAMES WALLER, of this
county, was shot by Mick CARNEY. The
shot took effect in the back, and killed him
almost instantly. CARNEY had not been ar
rested at our latest advices. 1t is said that
whisky had a good deal to do with this an
fortunate affair.
We were pleased, yesterday, to see mp
on the streets our long absent townsman, j.
NJ QUARLEs, Esq. Time has dealt gently
with him, and he looks as familiar as pig
track" We hope he will cease to be a
stranger to the town and his old friends.
