A RARE CHANcR-We direct especial at
tention to the advertisement of Messrs J.
i. & 4. w. Brown, in our paper this morn
ing, of seventy-three acres of land four miles
out on the Charlotte pike. We know this is
rich land, well watered and timbered, and
for market garden we doubt if there is
better piece Of land in the county for sale.

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES OF THE Med
ICAL DEPARTMENT OF NASHVILLE UNI
vERsITY.-The exercises of the graduating
class of medical students in this institution
were held yesterday evening, at Mulberry
Church, corner of College and Mulberry
streets. Several distinguished members of
the medical profession were present, and also
a select circle of the friends Of the graduates
and others interested in the institution.
DIR. W. X. Bowling, Dean of the Faculty,
read the names Of fifty students who were to
receive diplomas, and no member of the
class was excluded from the list
DIR. Winston then made some very appo-
site remarks, congratulating the class upon
the manner in which they had prosecuted
their studies, and giving them some very
excellent advice in reference to the practice
Of their profession.
DIR. J. A. Day. one of the graduates de-
livered the valedictory address, which was
well conceived, and presented in very
creditable manner. He congratulated the
members of the class upon the successful
prosecution of their studies, and commented
upon the fact that they had been designated
as the Studying class" nearly all of them
had been connected with the army, and their
career as students did not in any manner
justify the statement sometimes maintained,
that military life exerted a demoralizing in
fiuence upon young men who had passed
through scenes Of strife and bloodshed The
Dean of the Faculty had spoken in com
mandatory terms of the general department
of the students, and said that no previous
class had caused him so little trouble in re-
gard to discipline rs the present one. No
member had been brought before the police
court, and the general conduct of the inst
tuition had been entirely praiseworthy. 1t
was a remarkable fact, almost unprecedented
in the history of any class of medical stu
dents, that al the members Of the graduating
class had received their diplomas, which ar
gued well for the discipline of the institu-
ton and the diligence and energy of the
students.
The honor and dignity of the medical pro-
fession were depicted in graphic terms and
the necessity of morality and sobriety was
enioined upon every practitioner The OBJ
lection had often been raised against medical
men that they had too little religious feeling.
vet this grew out of the fact that the world
never had a proper understanding Of the
duties Of the medical profession. Their
habits of thought were necessarily philCso-
phical, and il was consequently almost i'm
possible for a well educated physician or
surgeon ever to become q bigot. Perhaps.
in the estimation ofthe world, he might not
be as religiously inclined as other men who
were differently educated, but the history
of the medical profession gave abundant
evidence, that among lis votaries there was
often high sense Of religious duty.
The speaker next referred to the neces.
sity .ef arduous study hereafter. The in
structions received in the University have
only laid a stable foundation for a more
thorough research and investigation, and the
professional life Of the student had only
commenced.

FREE LETTER DELIvERY.-The system
Of free letter delivery recently established
in this city is working much better than was
at first expected. We are informed that the
amount of postage received at present from
this source is double that obtained few
weeks since. An erroneous opinion has,
however, prevailed TO some extent, that ex.
ira postage is required; but we are author
lied by the Postmaster to say that this is not
the case. Only two cents are required on
drop letters, and three cents on other letters.
This branch of the Post Office Department
will receive additions from time to time as
the wants of the community may require.

A FEW weeks ago somebody started re-

still going the rounds of the press. We find
it in late Boston paper 1t was probably

estate owner here for the purpose of flooding
the city with immigrants from twenty-five
cent sections, and thereby enhancing the
