CIRCUIT COURT, Sept. l3.-Alloway rs.
Conner. This was a repleyin suit, inyolv-
ing the right of property to a lot of chairs
and other property belonging to the Old
Theatre. Judgment for plaintiff.
Jennings rs Corporation. This case,
with two others involving the same prin-
ciple, were tried before the court on an
agreed statement of facts. The plaintiffs
owed considerable sums fer city taxes. The
Recorder issued distress warrants on their
property to satisfy the taxes The plaintiffs
replevied the property distrained, on the
ground that the process by which it was
taken from them was simply an illegal
seizure. This point, whether the Re
corder had any authority to issue such a
warrant, was argued at some length by Mr.
Demoss and City Attorney Lellyett The
city laws clearly make it the duty of the
Tax Collector to issue such warrants, and
not the Recorder. Another point in the
case, whether the city could collect taxes
on property held by the military during
the war, was decided in the affirmative at
the last term of the Supreme Court here,
in the case of Rutledge as. the Corporation.
In the case under mention, the court de-
cided the Recorder could not issue a dis
tress warrant, and that this power rested
only in the Tax Collector. The costs of
suits went against the corporation.

Nashville Suit for damages for $1,000.
The few and slender facts which supported
this case, seemed about as follows: Mr..
Wells was riding in his express wagon
down the hill on Market street, near the
Medical College. His horse got fright
ened, became unmanageable, and ran the
wagon against dray which had been left
standing on the side of the street. Wells
was thrown out, and, in the language of the
old common law declaration, Z" was wound~
ed, disabled, bruised and disordered" to the
extent of $4,000 1t was contended to be
the duty of the corporation to keep the
streets clear Of distractions, and at all
times in good order In the absence of
one witness, who had been summoned to
prove the animal driven by Wells was of
kind disposition, the City Attorney would
not admit the character of the horse"
The case was termed in argument, one Of
those everlasting suits against the corpora
tion," but the jury put an end to this one
by bringing in verdict for defendant.
A number of continuances we're had,
and several other cases tried. Court meets
regularly this morning

PEnrLs OF rEDDLER,s LIFE.

Adventures of a LuckIoss Itinorant
i'm and cut OF "a COIOrcd Cabin-He Is
SummarlIy Elected and the Dogs set
upon Him-FInnI DenOuement in n
Justices COnrt.
One of the most amusing episodes that
has come to our notice for some time, oc-
Cured in this city the present week, not
far from Rolling Mill Hill. A little man
nikin Of man came trudging into town on
Monday, his wee bit of body nearly bent
double by the enormous pack strapped to
his shoulders, and which indicated his
calling to be that of peddler He GER
tainly had slowed away behind that great
black covering, some pieces that would
have ornamented the shelves of a Stewart,
and their wonderful cheapness he was soon
glibly descanting upon at several houses
along the way. His manner was insinua.
ting, and his foreign accent was rather at
trsctive than otherwise. He at length
found his way into South Nashville, and to
a group of lowly cabins occupied by colored
families. At one of these he stopped, but
none of the inmates having any money, he
struck up a trade with one of the women,
change for pair of spectacles and other
articles Of whose value she was ignorant
After closing the bargain, he disappeared.
Not many hours after, the woman learned
that her visitor had sold at big figure the
articles be had SO cheaply purchased from
her, and she determined at once to seek re-
dress. As fate would have it, however,
the astute vender yesterday returned to
her house, and in almost no time became
painfully aware that somebody had been
there since he had been gone. His squint-
ing eyes had scarce sighted the splinters
bristling from the terminus of brandished
fre-wood, ere his ears were saluted by
such bowling and yelping as he had
never before heard in all the varied expert
ence Of his wandering life. He did not
stop 10 take a second look and that big
pack seemed to have lightened to a
feathers weight as he cleared the dilapi- |
dated fence, yelling "Pe-le-e-e- Sc? Pe-Ie- |
e-e-se " at the top of his little lungs, while !
at his heels at least a halfdozen
yelping ours we're nipping and swapping, as
if possessed of so many devils. urged on
by the sable Nemesis in the door. He had !
gone only few steps when a fearful gnash !
Of teeth and a sort of "rip-tearing" sound |
was heard, and he suddenly became con-
scious that a large portion Of his wardrobe |
below the suspender buttons had ceased to |
exist as component part thereof. Not
second did he stop, though, to look back, |
and by the time the police came up the in
furiated CANNES had been called off, and /
the fugitive had gained place of safety, |
and opportunity 10 reflect upon the vicis-
STUDIES Of a peddler's life and the general |
uncertainties of African character.
The woman was arrested and brought |
before Justice Wilkinson, who, upon an
investigation of the case, taxed her with |
the costs, upon the payment of which she |
was released

SpeciaI Notice,

ON THE OPENING OF A BILLIARD
Room it is generally the custom, as every
one knows, to have several champions present to
entertain the public FOR A FEw HOURS; but on
account of so much suffering among our people.
we thought proper to give the orphans of this
city and poor of Chattanooga that benefit, which
we have done for the last two weeks And
again, as it is sometimes the custom of giving
premiums, such as Watches etc, and having
proof of the last two weeks business that the
citizens of Nashville appreciate our efforts to
help the needy, we have therefore concluded to
give ten per cent. of our profit to the poor Of
Nashville, from the lst day of April, 1867, up to
October lst, 1867, (siX months,) which amount
will be RENTED weekly to the Mayor of Nash
vile. We hope that the amateur billiard play
ers and the public in general will appreciate the
cause and sustain it.

While humanity continues to be infrm. and
man is prone to err. and the consequences are
visited upon the unfortunate, he should early
seek reliei from the misery thus entailed.
And the man who devOtes his time and talent
to the relief of this species of human suffering
is not less philanthropist than he who seeks to
relieve any other affection to which man is sub
ject; for true philanthropy looks not to what
caused the trouble, but what will cure it. DR..
Coleman has devoted large portion of his time
to the cure Of the class Of diseases mentioned in
his advertisement in to-day paper. He has
duly qualified himself by study and experience
TO perform what he promises. He has been To-
