An Army OF More than Five

Are consuming your substance, and host Of
other hungry expectans arc gsiherlng Ike
yultures, to banquet upon the dtals OF o.

Your public buildings are sinking dollar by
the hundred Thousand, With no apparent rrsalt.
Your Lunatic Asylum has already coz tIlO 600
n third more than the original estimate for tho
whole, and the tiTst wing II not yet compsted.
At the present rate more than one million Of
dollars will be consumed in what in nothing less
than stuDendOus fraud, at which your public
servants are conniyinR.
The Penitentiary was e Ipccted 10 be built foe

the expense Of the building win be little short
OF one million dollars. Other operations dpuh
lie men show similar disregard Of your inter.

benefit and public robbery.
Not single Radical journal Of the Stats has
uttered word Of denuRciation Of the-s or An'

almost the exclusive honor Of championing thu
popular cause against the outrages Of Official

LONDON, December 23.-Fenianism
still engrosses share of public atten-
ton, thoagh the excitement caused by
the recent outrages has pretty much
died ont. There is a wide spread and
increasing feeling favorable to amelio-
rating the condition of the Irish, as the
most effective means of suppressing
Fenianism. The Times strongly favors
this idea, and hopes and believes that
the next session of Parliament will be
occupied with the consideration OF
Irish affairs.

PROF. FANCHER, the celebrated horse
trainer, delivered public lecture on the
square in this place last Tuesday evening
to quite a respectable and interested crowd
of citizens. The Prof drove his spirited
and noble looking horse, attached to a bug
gy, around the square repeatedly without
lines or bride, governing him entirely with
the whip, after which he retired to Jackson's
livery stable with class of ten, to whom
he gave private instructions. We under
stand all of the class express themselves as
perfectly satisfied but we doubt very much
whether all ten of them could in ten days
get certain black mare which was on the
square that evening under the influence"
enough to drive her the same way. Look
out for a smash-up before long.

izen this morning a chance to some of
our farmers and stock raisers to supply
themselves with few specimens of his ex-
ira fine stock, Maj. ALTMAN is recognized
at home and abroad as one OF the finest
stock raisers in Middle Tennessee, and we
feel assured that it is not necessary to urge
upon our farmers the great advantage it
would be to their stock to supply them
selves with few of his excellent variety
1t is time that the scrub stock of the eoun-
try was being discarded and replaced by
thoroughbreds such as Maj. ALLMAN offers.
Every intelligent farmer, after little rehec-
ton, will concede that it is cheaper to pro-
vide for fine blooded stock and much more
economical in the long run. The Maj Of
fers a very fine mich COW, a year old
Durham bull, an extra young jack, thor
oughbred FLIES. goats, sheep, hogs, game

Maj. ALTMAN also advertises two very
fine stations for the season. Their pedi-
grees are unezceptionable, and we would be
glad to see their colts scattered all over the
county Read his advertisements in auoth-
er column.
