Fine Country Residence Burned 10
the GrOund-Terrible COn1fRSratiOn-
Loss $4,000.
Between the hours of and O'clock on
Sunday morning the light of burning
building lit up the country far and near,
as the red flames darted upward from the
premises of an esteemed citizen living in
the country. The fire was not discovered
ill it was under full Roadway, the tenants
being sound asleep at the time; they we're
only awakened by the barking of the dogs
and the roaring of the flames. The house
was a very fine one, recently finished, and
was owned by John Browne, who had
spent large Sums in finishing the building.
Mr. Browne lives ont five miles from the
city, beyond Mill Greek and near the Muir.
freesboro turnpike. The building was
fine frame house, with nine rooms, with an
L and kitchen attached, and was finished
with great taste and heavy outlay. The
entire building was consumed, there being
nothing left bat a heap of ashes and
smouldering ruins. The light of the burn
ing building was seen for several miles
around, and when the tin roof at length
fell in with crash the scene as described
was terribly grand. Singular enough, as
though there were fatality as to the loca-
ton of fires, there was q servants room
burned upon the identical spot not more
than eighteen months ago. Mr.. Brownies
loss by the FIRE ia estimated at $4,000, on
which there is an insurance of $4,000 in
the Commercial Insurance Company of this
city. The FIRE originated, it is thought,
having been some alteration made on the
same very recently. Most ofthe furniture
and household valuables were saved by the
family being so opportunely aroused from
their slumbers. This is the most de-
structive FIRE We have bad to chronicle for
some time past.

RIVER AND WEATHER.

The river has risen eight or nine inches
in the forty-eight hours ending last eve
ming, and was still rising slowly There
were thirty-three inches on Harpeth Shoals
The weather moderated very greatly yes
terday, and hopes were entertained Of an
early rain. A gentleman who came down
from Wilson county yesterday reported
pretty heavy rain falling in the vicinity Of
Lebanon, and it is hoped this rain will be
sufficiently extended to give a considerable
rise here.
The A. Baker, which has been lying Tor
some time above the mouth of Caney Fork,
IT'S miles from the city, is expected down
every hour.
The Tyrone viii leave for Cairo at II
o'clock to-day. She already has more
freight engaged than she can carry at this
stage of water.
The Talisman has a trip engaged, and
will leave as soon As there is sufficient
water.
Snow has fallen all along the western
water courses, particularly along the upper
Ohio, the average depth at Pittsburg being
some ten inches, with two feet snow in the
mountains, and not less than six inches
snow all through the country east Of Gin
cinnati. If a rain should follow this great
fall of snow very disastrous freshet, if
not another flood, will occdr in the Ohio.
If this snow shall have extended to the re
gion of the headwaters Of the Cumberland,
as it probably has, we shall have big
river the first rain that falls.
The Louisville journal of yesterday
says:
"The Ella Hughes is the name Of new
boat which has recently entered the Louis-
Vile and Nashville trade. She il COM
manded by Captain William Dix. of
Nashville. The Ella Hughes was built
at Paducah, has excellent passenger
accommodations, and has In Captain
Dix a commander who can make you a.
comfortable while lying up on a sandbar a.

the desk, Capt w. II. Wood, is a man SO

IMPORTANT DEorsroN.
No Municipal Authority 60 Tax Tn
terest- bearing Monies "A Circuit
Court Decision I'm the Matter

terest> bearIng Monies : A Circuii
Court Decision I'm the Matter.
A case in which the right Of municipal
corporations to tax interest bearing monies
was decided by Judge M. M. Brien in the
Circuit Court, on Saturday last, against the
possession Of such corporate power. The
case was The Mayor and Board of Alder
men Of the city of Nashville rs. james
Mclaughlin and Thomas. This was an
action in which Thomas, az defend
ant, owned IT'S shares, and James
Mclaughlin thirty-fve shares in the Se-
cond National Bank. 10 July, 1867, the
municipal authorities passed an ordinance
taxing each thousand dollars 81 60. They
refused TO pay, and the corporation sued
them in debt, to recover the taxes as
claimed. The defendants plead MI debit.
The parties agreed upon the facts and sub
mitted the question of law to Judge Brien.
The question was ably argued by John
Lellyett for the corporation, and f. H.
East for plaintiffs. The Judge took the
matter under careful advisement, and the
result was substantially the following brief
decision:
The national banks oflS63 have no pro-
vision authorizing the taxing of any of its
shares it, however, has a provision au-
thorizing subsequent legislation upon the
subject. The 4lst section of the act of 1864
authorized the State to tax the sharehold-
ers in the national banks, upon condition
that the State should not tax them higher
than she taxed her own capital. And the
second condition provided was that share
holders could not be taxed higher than she
taxed the banking interests of the State.
Ii was only by act Of Congress that the
national banks could be taxed at all. Be-
fore that could be done it had TO be done
in accordance with the laws of Tennessee.
There is no legislation in the State of
Tennessee upon the subject of taxing
shares, but there is upon the subject of tax-
ing monies used at interest. The munich
pal authorities here could only tax these
shares by authority of the laws of Tennes>
see in accordance with the acts of Con-
gress. Hence, the municipal ordinance
taxing,these,,shares 81 60 without the above
mentioned authority, was unauthorized
null and void, so would be the application
of any similar ordinance The court held
as a collateral point that the State of Ten
nessee only authorizes tax of twenty-five
cents on interest moneys, and that muni-
cipal corporations have no right or power
to transcend that sum. So held the court in
this and all similar cases

A Husband Sells the Household Goods
and Deserts his Wife and ChIld-An
Afflicted Woman without n noIIar


One of the most heartIess cases of de-
sertion and neglect, and one that comes as
nigh illustrating the total depravity of the
human as any that we have ever had to
chronicle, came under our observation on
yesterday. About four o'clock in the af-
ternoon a young and quite good looking
woman made her appearance at the
Office of Justice Mathews, for the purpose
of making inquiry as to what was best to
be done under most distressing circumstan-
ces. She was sad and heart broken, and
her eyes were red with weeping, scorching
tears that had dwelled up from her shat
tered heart even then moistening her pale
cheek, as she told in trembling accents her
tale of sorrow. She was trinity but plainly
dressed, and in word and manner bore
about her themarks of true lady, albeit
she may never have moved in what is
termed the first circles. Several years ago
she was a young and pretty girl but
awhile before Sherman commenced his
march "down to the sea-" she married
soldier of the 18th Pennsylvania regiment,
who became enamored Of her as tramp,
tramp the boys went marching on" After
marriage the soldier husband returned TO
the ranks and was wounded in the arm at
the battle Of Resaca. This wound FREE
quently disabled him from labor or severe
bodily exercise, and the wife often parted
with articles of wearing apparel to pro-
vide necessities that he might recover. AT
length they commenced a tolerably COM
Portable sort of housekeeping. They
lived on Gay street not far from the trestle
work. They have one child, baby girl
of seven months old. A few days ago the
husband, under pretext of moving to other
quarters, containing room for a grocery
and family rooms, moved the furniture,
taking the last bed and article in the
house TO the new place. As soon az he had
gotten everything removed he sold the ar
ticles 10 another party and with the money
received for them, without telling his wife
and child goodbye, got on the train and
left for parts unknown. The miserable
wife, with her babe, il thus turned out of
doors in the dead of winter, without shell
ter and without dollar. The name of
the heertless wretch who has thus betrayed
the woman and child he was bound TO pro-
tect is only withheld at the fearful appeals
of the wife. The case is one that calls
loudly for justice, and if that cannot be
obtained, one that appeals to public sym

EXIT PUNCH-A FAITHFUL SENTINEL.
GoNE.-We missed on yesterday the
familiar and FaIlstafiian form of Punch"
that has so long stood a faithful sign and
sentinel for faithful man in front of the
store of our good neighbors, Messrs. Rosen-
helm & Bro. In peace and in war Punch"
stood there unmoved, wearing the same
broad grin and merry face, through storm
and sunshine. In winter and in summer
he stood there smiling at the passer-by
right merrily. All! he was merry fellow,
with his laughing face and aldermanic
strut. There he stood, through the reign
of "feds" and "unfeds :" war and peace
were the same to him. He stood in front
of the cigar and tobacco store of our BUSH
ness and prosperous friends, Messrs
Rosenheim & Bro, for years ins
viting hundreds and thousands of Gus
toners in to enjoy a fine cigar. At all
times there stood the dumb statue between
our friends and the draft" wearing a
pleasant look for all. But "Punch" is
gone. "Alas, poor Yorick p He weighed
two hundred pounds, and every man in
the city knew him he was boxed up and
sent on Saturday to- Fayetteville to ]. c.
& j. F. Goodrich. His place is to be filled
with better rugged, costlier and more
colossal figure-one more in proportion to
the large and growing business of Messrs.
Rosenheim & Bro. May their new "Punch"
and all their punches be smiling, pleasant
and profitable ones.
