SIMPLICITY IN ENGLISH DRESS.
In the families of many of the no
bility and gentry of England, posses
sing an annual income which of
itself would be an ample fortune
there is greater economy of dress and
more simplicity in the furnishing of
the dwelling, than there is in many
of the houses Of our citizens, who are
barely able to supply the daily wants
of their families by the closest atten-
ton to their business. A friend of
ours who sojourned, not long since,
several months in the vicinity of
some of the wealthy landed aristoc-
racy of England, whose ample rent
rolls would have warranted d high
style of fashion, was surprised at the
simplicity of manners practiced.
Servants are much more numerous
than with us, but the ladies made
more account of one silk dress than
would be thought here of dozen.
They were generally clothed in good
substantial stuf1s, a display Of fine
clothing and jewelry was reserved for
great occasions. The furniture of
the mansion instead Of being turned
out of doors every few years for
more fashionable styles, was the
same which the ancestors Of the ia
miles for several generations had
possessed; substantial and in ex-
cellent reservations, but plain and
without any pretensions to elegance.
Even the carpets on many suits of
parlors had been on the floors for
fifty years, and were expected to do
service for another half century.

MR. AND Mrs w. II. CRIsR.-We had
the pleasure, day or two since, Of reading
a letter from that old favorite of Nashville
play-goer, VIM. H. Crisp, and from its
perussl we are induced to indulge the hope
that we will shortly be able to announce his
return to this city, and have the pleasure
of seeing him again a fixture of the ola
Adelphi; and this hope we know to be
shared by our older citizens who appreciate
his merits as an actor and gentleman, and
remember with delight his successful man
agement Of that institution in the better
days OF the past. Not least among the
features of this agreeable anticipation,
As that Of seeing again his accom-
plished wife, one of the best general
actresses that ever appeared before a Nash
vile audience, an opinion that viii be CON
Cured in by all the frequenters Of the the
atre in this city at the time she was resi-
dent here. Both Of them, indeed, are great
fayorites in this city, and artistes of ster-
ling merit, and could we have them once
more among us, we might look forward to
a revival of the drama. Ii is 10 be hoped
that the necessary arrangements can be
effected, and that we may have Mr.. and
Mrs. Crisp to help us drive dull care away
this summer, and dispel the terrible tedium
Of these distrPssful times.

THE MURDER OF JOSHUA w. OWEN
CONFESSION OF A CoNvIcT.-During the
spring Of 1864 robberies were frequent on
the iurnpikes leading into Nashville, and
occasionally a murder was committed In
the month Of May, Mr. Joshua w. Owen,
of Williamson, came to Nashville, and
sold some mules to the government. On
his way home, after closing the sale and
receiving his pay, he was attacked on the
Franklin turnpike, almost in sight of the
Notifications which commanded the APP
proach to the city, and murdered whilst
sitting in his buggy. Mr.. Owen was ac-
companied by youth named McNish, who
made his escape On the 10th of June
following whilst in Nashville, young
McNish saw a man whom he took TO be
one Of the party engaged in the murder.
He stated his suspicious to the police the
man was found, arrested, and gave his
name as John Clark, an employee of the
government at the corral near the Horti-
cultural Garden, who had been a witness
10 Mr.. Owens sale Of mules. Clark was
committed, and subsequently identified By
Mr. John Edmundson az belonging 10
party who had waylaid him the afternoon
Of Mr.. Owens murder on the same road.
Clark was held for trial before 4 military
commission, by which he was acquitted.
Since then the affair has slumbered, and
almost passed from the minds of men.
Last week, however, a prisoner, Mat
Coffee, was tried in the Criminal Court,
convicted Of robbery, and sentenced to IF
teen wears Imprisonment in the penitent
airy. After his conviction. in a converse
ton with a fellow prisoner, he ayowed
himself one Of the party that killed Mr..
Owen, and confessed that he also shot at
the parties in the buggy. This confession,
coming TO the ears OF Judge Smith, of the
Criminal Court, was made known TO friends
Of the deceased, who have had a confer
ence with Coffee, and heard what he had
10 say on the subject He adheres TO
his statement, and alleges that the fatal
shot was fired by man named Page, a bad
character, who has gained considerable
notorie!y in this County-one of his deeds
being the procurement of the robbery and
huning Of the residence of his sister,
living on the Nolensville pike. Page, it
is understood, is somewhere in Mississippi
His accuser being 4 convict and an incom-
petent witness, other testimony must he
obtained to fix the murder on him, if cap
tured. The murder was most brutal, and
condign punishment ought TO he visited
upon him, If found guilty.

The Odd Fellows Of Summer county had
a celebration at Gallatin, yesterday. A
special train, which left Nashville at
o'clock A. NJ, took large delegation Of the
order, besides others, from this place. Ex-
tensiye preparations had been made for the
entertainment Of all who went and We

evening, that so thorough was the work

Every body was made welcome, and to feel
that he was among kith and kin-amongst
those who appreciated and respected the
common brotherhood ofthe human race. At
an early hour in the morning, the Odd Eel
lows and vast crowds of citizens, ladies and
gentlemen, assembled on the lawn of the
Odd Fellows Female School, where, with
appropriate ceremonies, one Of the pupils
Miss King, was crowned Qneen Of May.
The coronation speech il spoken of as elo-
quent and stirring, and was made by a
gentleman whose name we did not learn.
The address of the fair Young Queen was
beautiful and well spoken, as were also the
addresses Of the other ladies.
The ceremonies of the coronation over,
the Odd Fellows celebration proper fol-
lowed, Mr.. Nicholson, of Philadelphia,
being the orator selected for the occasion.
His Grafton is said TO have excelled that
made here, and was listened to with breath
less attention by the thousands composing
his audience. A band was in attendance
and discoursed sweet music.
A splendid dinner was served, consisting
Of almost everything in the catalogue of
the table, and in an abundance, which in
snred enough for all.
One Of the distinguishing features OF
this celebration was the number Of beauti-
full women and girls that were present. 1t
seemed, said a spectator, that all Summers
fair daughters were there. And Sumner
has ever been renowned for the beauty of
her maids and matrons. At no time were
they lovelier than now.

their expressions of satisfaction with their
