TIE ST. JosEPH's ORPHAN ASYLUM Con-
CERT.-After considerable difficulty the
managers of the concert for the benefit of
St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum have sue
ccedcd in obtaining the Theatre for next
Wednesday night. The programme for
the concert has been arranged, and is o
most attractive one. The performers have
been engaged for several weeks past in
carefully rehearsing their parts, and the
affair will doubtless be most successful.
The object is one that speaks for itself, and
but little can be said in its behalf.
Tickets can be had at the stores OF
Messrs. Purcell, Ladd s Co., Mr.. John
Dooley, Mr.. Blaymyre's, on Church Hill /;
Mr.. william English, on Second street; at
Davies Musical Exchange, at this office,
and other places.

the world the present could be. L.
evening her affianced called and made pro-
position for their early marriage. Doubtless
thought she as she answered him: Yes,
am ready whenever you are" "Now |
can find out all about that box" Three
weeks afterwards the long-deferred cere-
mony took place, and upon the evening Of
the wedding the box was brought forth.
Upon being opened, a picture of the groom
was found, and slip of paper, upon which
was written: 81 am yours at last" The
groom had good laugh, but the bride
pouted for while. Before the evening
was out, however, she laughed at herself
as much as he did. A month has passed
since they were made man and wife, and
nothing has happened to interrupt their
happiness, nor is there any cause to be-
lieve that anything will until death-that
dread visitor of men-shall have parted
them forever. So mote it be.

SUPREME Court OF APPEALS, WEDNEs-
DAY-SAwYER Us. CoRsE.-This was an ac-
tion in the Circuit Court Of Alexandria by
John D. Corse against Frederick p. Saw
yer, the contractor for carrying the mail
between Washington and Alexandria, to
recover damages for the loss of letter
containing sum of money, put into the
mail at Alexandria to be carried by way OF
Washington to Richmond. The facts were
argued, and are substantially as follows !:
SAWYER, the contractor, employed Archi-
bald Fleming to carry the mail, who was in
charge of it when the loss occurred.
Fleming, on that occasion, received from
the post-ofiice at Alexandria two mail
bags, one larger than the other, each con-
tanning mail matter, the letter being in.the
smaller bag. The river being obstructed
by ice, the mail at the time was carried on
horseback along the turnpike to Washing
ton. Fleming placed the bags on the sad
die, the smaller bag under the larger, sat
on both, and proceeded on his journey, but
had not gone more than two miles from
Alexandria when he missed the smaller
bag containing the plaintiffs letter, 1t hav-
ing slipped from under him without his
perceiving it. He Immediately returned
| to the post-ofiice along the route he had
travelled, and made dlligcnt search for the
said mailbag, but was unable to find it, oil
though it was still daylight and it has
never been recovered. Fleming had been
employed by various contractors to carry
the mail between Alexandria and wash
ington, and had always been faithful and
careful agent. Under previous contrac-
tor he was sworn faithfully to perform his
duties, but took no oath whilst employed
by Sawyer.
The contract between Sawyer and the
Government provided, among other things,
that he should take the mail and every
part of it and deliver it at each post-office
on the route and into the post-otiice at
each end of the route, and if there was no
Office where the carrier stopped at night,
to lock 1t up in secure place at the risk
of the contractor, and also to be answer
able for the person to whom said contrac-
tor should commit the care and transporta-
tion Of the mail.
The case argued did not find whether or
not there had been negligence.
The Circuit Court gave judgment Tor
the plaintiff for S5ss, with interest, and
Sawyer obtained Supersededs to the Court
Of Appeals.
Judge Joynes delivered an opinion, in
which the other judges concurred, In which
it was held that Fleming was not an officer
of the Government, but the agent Of the
contractor, and that the contractor was re-
sponsible for his acts. But it was held that
as the case argued did not find whether or
not there had been negligence, the court
could not infer it and therefore the judg-
ment was reversed and uenirs de nouo
awarded.

THE AGRICULTURAL SCHooL-RIcHMoNp
CoLLEGE.-The Committee of Schools and
Colleges of the House of Delegates have
under consideration the question of what
disposition shall be made of the Land
Funds given By Congress for the endow-
ment of an Agricultural and Mechanical
school. Yesterday morning General Wise,
and Mr.. A. r. Holiday addressed tho
committee in behalf ofentrusting the estab
lishment aud management of the school to
Richmond College. Mr.. Holiday spoke
first, and made very powerful argument
in behalf of disposing of the fund in this
manner. General Wise began his argu-
ment, but did not conclude before the
committee rose. The arguments in behalf
of locating the Agricultural and Me-
chanical school near this city are very
strong, and were employed by these gentle
men TO the best advantage. IL to be To-
Gated here, the Richmond College is the
highest institution Of male education in
the vicinity, and is conducted with. very
decided ability and skill. 1t would pro-
badly make as good use of the means for
the carrying out the objects of Congress in
the appropriation Of the means of endow-
ing such schools in the different States as
any other institution in the State.
The amount likely to be realized from
the land appropriated to this State will not
probably exceed s25O,OOO, the interest on
which will be $4,000. This latter sum will
be the annual fund for the support of the
school. 1t is not large, and will have to be
most judiciously managed to obtain from
il the benefits that it is intended to confer.
Therefore, the best disposition of it for
economy and efficiency will be to entrust
it to some college already in full operation
and in high standing. In this way all ex-
penditures for land, buildings, &C., would
be avoided, and the school could at once
90 into operation, or as soon as the fund is
realized from the sale of the land.

The Fourth OF JuIy in Nashville.

NASHVILLE, July The Fourth was
celebrated with unusual spirit and en-
thusiasm. A procession composed of the
military on duty here, the fire depart
ment, car containing young ladies and
represe nting the States, others carrying
5olored school and another represent
ing the press, followed by several color
ed charitable societies, citizens on foot
and in carriages. They moved through
the city to the Nashville & Chattanooga
railroad depot. Several thousand per-
sons, whites and blacks had assembled
there awaiting the arrival of the pro-
cesssion, when all went by rail to
q grove on the line of the Nashville
and Northwestern railroad, where, af-
ter prayer by Rev. Mr.. Rutledge, the
welcome address was made by General
r. c. Foster, the Declaration of lnde-
pendence read by d. A. Peabody and an
oratioa delivered by Samuel Watson.
The crowd at the grove was immense,
nrobably 10000. A continued stream
passed back and forth all day. Such a
spectacle was never before seen III len
nessee. Ii manifested n vast progress IN
sentiment on the negro question.
The Germans had n celebration at
Fort Gillett, at the Horticultural Gar
den and at Rains' Grove, and a large
number of citizens had private picnics
in the country. Altogether nearl y the
entire population of Nashville joined in
celebrating the day. At night there
was a splendid exhibition of fireworks
in front of the capitol.
