ExnlBrioS gives us much pleasure to
learn that the Clarksville Gymnastic Asso-
citation win give one Of its exhibitions du-
ring the Fair.
This society is, we think, a just subject Of
pride to the young men and boys. Though
very few Of them are above the age Of
schoolboys, they have not only built, at their
own expense, large building and provided
1t with complete gymnastic apparatus, hut
by means of two public exhibitions have ma
terially aided two enterprises dear to the
Southern heart-the reburial of the Confed-
crate dead and the Relief Fund for Southern
desiitution. The coming exhibition is for the
purpose of defraying their own rather heavy
expenses, and we trust that their spirit of en-
terprise viii enlist the favor Of the public 10
this their first appeal for pecuniary assistance.
Give the boys bumper. But for them
there would be no building in the city in
which public exhibition could be given.

COLE vs. BLACK.-This case was decided
on last Monday in. our Criminal Court, by a
verdict against Mr.. Black Of fine of SIS.
The preponderance of evidence in the case
proved very different olign and conduct
Of the ARRAY between John Black and Ste
phen Cole from what Iumor had it at the
time of its occurrence. 1t was established
TO the satisfaction Of the jury that Cole had
been trying to entice some hands Of Black
away from him. and that the latter meeting
the former, accidentally, on the ferry boat,
attacked him with cane-that Cole wrested
the stick from Black, and then fired the FIRST
shot-that Black retreated from the boat,
and whilst Cole was pursuing and throwing
rocks, the former fired two shots from his
revolver, one of which struck Cole in the
arm. The trial convinced us of disposition
on the paIt of some Of the colored friends Of
tue prosecution TO give partial evidence
against Mr.. Black because he had presumed
to assault colored man, but there were 9th :
err colored witnesses who were not prompted
by such prejudices and these saved Mr..
Black from being made the victim of reck-
less and one-sided statements.
