How a Man Get into the Wrong Bed.

A St Louis paper tells a good story of
how prominent man of that city got ir-
TO the wrong bed, and how there came
near being domestic difficulty in conse-

banquet aud become rather mudded with
PLETHORA of good cheer Al late hour
of the night, assisted by couple of
friends, he went home, and not desiring
to have his wife. discover his plight, he
undertook to get to his room without
waking her. Opening the hall door with
as much care as his lneti1ated condition
would permit. and pulling off his boots,
he began the ascent to his room, with
what result we will let the st. Louis re-
porter tell ~
1t seemed to him as though he weighed

groan and squeak with pain. and IN an
agony OF desperation he chung to the
banisterS. Arriving AT the top, he groped
around in darkness until his hand came
in contact with the knob Of the door, and
imagining that it led to the couch where
reposed his partner in dreams of inno-

affecting incident is told OF the death of a
child six years of age, which took place
in this city day since. A well known
gentleman Of this city died some weeks
since leaving behind him three children
who loyed their father with more than
the usual devotion of children A weel,
ago the grandiai her OF the children took
them out to attend the funeral of a friend
OF his EIe was late, and as he drove to
the cemetary the hearse had done its
work and was Just leaving: The little
boy spoken Of took one look at it. and
throwing up his hands screamed aloud,
sOh, my father-my father is in there''
He continued his screams which no eff
forts coald quiet, until I've went into con-
vulsioas, which continued until the little
one went TO the long home where he will
meet his father whom he has so devoted
ly loved, and whom he missed so much.

Redemption of Lands.

It may interest good many citizens of
this State to be informed of fact not gen
orally known, that the time in which real
estate sold under legal process before the
war is subject to redemption will expire on
the 1st of July. The fourth section of the
act Of May 80, 1865, provides as follows !:
"That in all cases where real estate is
subject to to redemption as prescribed in
chapter 5. sections 1924 to 2137 inclusive,
of the Code of Tennessee, the time be-
tween the 9Th of May, 1861, and the lst
day of January, 1867, shall not be held 10
operate. or be computed, and all persons
entitled to redeem such real estate shall
have six months from and after the first
day of January, 1867, to redeem the same
according to existing laws"

The tornado which swept thrOuh New
Jersey last week, is described as ga dark,
huge, funnel-shaped mass, illuminated at
intervals by electrical explosions, whirling,
swaying. surging and forcing its way,
rapid in progress and fearful in power
Now veering to the right, and anon to the
left, plunging furiously forward. and sharp
ly recoiling. it swept away all that OBJ
structed its course, bnd by its eccentric
evolutions made its path of desolation
much wider than its own bulk could have
effected had it rolled onward in a straight
line"

FIRE /!
One Hundred Thousand Dollars Worth
of Property DESTROYED.


On last Wednesday morning about
O'Clock. the alarm of fire was sounded on
our streets. and our citizens were called
upon to witness one of the most terrible
and destructive fires that has ever OCCUR
ed in our city. The fire originated in the
basement of May. Gordon & Nays store,
and was evidently the work of an incendi-
airy. It's progress was so rapid that the oc-
cupants Of the house barely had time to es-
cape with their lives, without saving a
thing. Most of the contents Of the house,
goods, books and papers, were consumed,
together with those of r. R. Reed, Esq,
who occupied the room over the counting
room as law Office. He lost everything
except one suit of clothes, his watch and a
few dollars in money. The building ad-
joing on the west, occupied by Maj. T. NJ.
Jones and Brown q McCallum, as law Of
fees, was next consumed, the contents be-
ing saved. The shoe store of Oliver &
Parsons, after It's contents had been re-
moved, was next consumed. In its pro-
gress down end Main street the Office of J.
G. Lester, Esq, Martin q Shumahar's es-
adjustment. the Office lately occupied by
Wilkes & Alternately, and The Sunny-side
saloon, belonging to John 7. Moore, were
consumed, though We believe all of their
contents were saved. 1t was thought at
one time that the store house of Cox &
Reynolds, opposite to Nays, would be COM
PEELED to burn, the roof taking fire several
times, but the almost super human exer-
tons of some of our citizen saved it.
The loss of the May brothers was heaV-
Ter than that of amy one else. their &C
counts, books and notes of twenty years
standing being all destroyed. Of course
every honorable man who knows that he is
indebted to them, if he is able, will prompt
/ ly come forward and settle. They have
moved what was saved of their stock up
to the house recently occupied by Mr.. Neil
McGrew, where they would be glad to see
their old friends.
10 the above enumeration we forgot to
mention the office of Col. Whitsol, which
was also destroyed.

Forth from its scabbard, pure and bright
Flashed the sword of lie r.

Its stainless sheen, like a beacon light
Led us to victory.
Out of its scabbard. where full long

Reused from its rest by the battle-song,
Shielding the feeble, shifting the strong,
Guarding the right, avenging the wrong
Cleaned the sword of LEE
Forth from its scabbard, high in the air
Beneath Virginia's sky
And they who ssw it cleaning there,
And knew who bore it, knelt to swear
That where that sword led, they would dare
To follow and TO die.
Forth from its scabbard Never hand
Waved sword from stain as free,
Nor purer sword led drawer band,
Nor drawer bled for a brighter land,
Nor brighter land had cause as grand,
Nor cause chief ike LEE
Forth from its scabbard how we prayed
That sword might victor be
And when our triumph was delayed
And many heart grew sore afraid,
We stiu hoped on, while cleaned the blade

which threatened to embroil France and
Prussia, and perhaps the continent, in war.

the Prussian forces from its occupation,
and the abandonment of its proposed ces
