RETURNED.-We we're gratifed to see
Yesterday afternoon our neighbOr, Mr.
c. +. Smith, Of tue house of George w.
| Wright u Co, No. 9 Madison street. Mr..
S. is one Of the largest cotton buyers
| doing business here. He is also the agent
| of the Little Miami railroad. Mr.. S.
looks hearty and cheerful, and seemed
TO enjoy the NicO}sOn behind the majors
gay little team. The major is ready for
all shipments.
IN TowN.-We were pleased to meet
Yesterday our clever friend, Capt. Ed. A.
Garland, editor and proprietor Of the
Water Valley Courier. He is in town
looking after the interests of his lively
paper, and will call upon our business
ness men during the next few days. The
Courier is an excellent medium for adj
vertising in north Mississippi.
RECOvERING.-During the short but
severe storm on Friday night, the light
ming struck the grain warehouse of
Messrs. Black, Cameron d Co, Charles
ton avenue, doing but little damage to
the building. MIR. Black, who was sit
ting on an iron freight truck at the
time, received a severe shock, which
rendered him senseless for some time,
and confined him to his room for a couple
OF days, but we are glad to learn that he
is rapidly recovering and expects to be

SHOOTING ON JACKSON STREET.-A
man named John Caldwell was arrested
on Sunday night for shooting a Mr.. Cos
tillo il the shoulder. Caldwell alleges
that Costello insulted him while he was
quietly passing along Jackson street,
and on being demonstrated with, at
tempted to draw 8 weapon, when he
shot him, and afterwRrd surrendered
himself to Sheriff Winters. The matter
will probably be investigated by a mag
istrate to-day. So far there appears to
he some mystery about it.
Lock GAME.-The famous lock gam
has been revived. A negro named Am
hrose Coleman beat & cOlOred brother out
Of a ten dollar note at the Memphis and
Ohio depot yesterday. The police got
wind Of the affair, when Sergeant Brown
took after the cheat, who gave him q
lively run for it, but by the assistance of
a well known NJ. D., who happened to
be driving that way, Ambrose was cap
tured secreted under 6 house, and fur
nished with rooms at the proper place on
Adams street.
LECTURE TO.N IGHT-It should not be
forgotten that the first of the second
I EeTleE OF lttAuEtSs aNA lile bCHEt1N VI ~
widows and orphans OF Confederate sOl-
diers. will be delivered at the Tabernacle
on Court street tonight, by Col. George
CAN'T. The amount Of good already done
by these lectures is very great, and we
hope to see the fund largely increased.
The fall and winter is fast approaching,
and those who have comfortable houses
and fresides Of their own, should not
forget the widows and orphans of the
fallen brave. Let the, Tabernacle be filled
to its utmost crpacity. Those who attend
will not only contribute to this most
worthy OF causes, but will enjoy in the
lecture Of Col. CAN'T Q rich literary treat.
WHITE LABOR WANTED.-We insert
| the following letter from q farmer in
OseeOla, Arkansas. There are many
openings in the surrounding country for
industrious white labor. This is only one
of the many letters we have received on
the subject lately:
"TheFe is a want for an almost inde1-
mite number Of white labOrers, with and
i without families, for farming service, in
this county, with fair remlnerative
WAGES. III is complained that the negroes
are unsteady, uncertain; and, in too
many instances, unworthy OF favor.
Persons wishing to hire or rent good
lands, would do well to come to this
county, as we intend to abandon the ne
gro and his associates"
INcoNvENIENCE-We dislike to find
fault at all times, but it otter becomes
necessary TO do so. There was a time
when the street ears were 8 very great
convenience, and differed by men who
seemed anxious to please and sccommo-
- n - g.. d. Annn have
passed. A case came under our notice
last night where three gentlemen after
hailing the car lgreen, No. 29) Oh the
corner OF Madison and Main streets, had
to run about half a block before they
got on the car. This is not the only
case. Complaints reach us almost daily
Of the bad management Of the road, and
often Of the impoliteness and rough man
ners Of the employees. Should this hint
not be sufficient TO remedy the evil other
complaints may lead to the publication
OF the names Of the offenders.

Law SCHooL-It will be seen by our
advising columns, that q law school is a
department Of the Lsemphis college, will
be opened the first Monday in Otober.
The names Of Gen. Pike, Gen. Chalmers,
Judge Heath, Judge Scruggs and Mr..
Lewis give assurance that by far the best
law school IN the west will be found in
Memphis. Where IN our city or the
whole country can q stronger or more
Learned corps of law professors be found?
We rejoice at this movement. DIR. Ford,
the president, deserves well Of the con
munity for enIisting these legal gentle
men in this enterprise. The fame OF this
school will greatly aid the city, and the
Young men Of Memphis will be afforded
facilities for obtaining a legal education
at home superior to any to be found
absOsd.
