The December number of this sterling
magazine has reached our table, and though
the engrsving is omitted, its literary con-
tents are, in subject and matter, uDsur-
passed by any magazine published in
America. We are emphatic because we
desire to be go. Having been intimately
associated with the editor, Mr.. Ward, we
know his capacity for a work of this kind;
and each successive number Of the Pearl is
a monument to his ability aud labor. as
well as a shining tribute TO the literature
of the South and West. Among the many
efforts to establish on a permanent basis
Southern magazine literature, no one has
labored more faithfully or ably than the
devoted aud accomplished editor Of the

Capsized-A Cold Bath.

Two men who had been engaged in tear

Of the Cumberland for the purpose of using
it in constructing wharf on the Edgefeld
bank of the river, we're last evening on
their way TO the pier in a canoe, when the
frail bark capsized, and the men precipi-

of the sTiftness of the current, they hoatea
down some two or three hundred yards be-
fore being able to reach, the shore. 1t is
useless to add that they were muchly wet,
and uncsmfortably cold when they touched
the bank. .

To TIE HONORABLE BoARD County
Observation-Disclosures: We, the
undersigned, Commissioners, appointed by
your honorable body to investigate the con-
dition Of the various turnpike roads inter-
seeing Davidson county, beg leave, after q
careful personal examination of the same
to submit the following report;
FRANKLIN PIKE.
This road is in excellent condition, no
repairs required in any respect, and the
proprietors deserve credit for energy and
enterprise in thus advancing public fAeili-
ties.

can recommend nothing that will improve
the present condition. - z~

This road is generally in good condition
aud we are assured by the Treasurer that
steps will be taken next spring 10 make all
necessary repairs. ~

provement. At the hill Immediately be-
yond the limits Of the city 1t is very steep

what dangerous. Las l-a4LtlaA

Some advantageous action might be
taken to improve this road at a few points
but is generally in good condition.
Lebanon pike, Gallatin pike, Granny
White pike, Franklin College pike and
Harding pike are all In first class condi-
ton.
Owen & Winstead pike is in good order,
save very material repairs required 90
bridges. We are assured, however, by
the officers of the road, that sill necessary
repairs will be made at once. 1870, =
aE MILL CREEK PIKE
Is almost impossible. The gates should
be thrown open at once. The condition Of
this road is disgraceful to the company
charging toll. alaT HGE7Ta.
Murfreesboro pike is in fair order for
about six miles, the remaining portion re-
| curing improvements of every nature.
| Charlotte Pike is in very bad condition,
in fact almost impossible. We would
recommend that the gates 6e thrown open
at once.
| Hyde's Ferry pike is not in general good
condition. Repairs are needed in several
| localities. 50 s7Tr -fs.. &
From the general observation we have
made in This casual survey, we cannot but
recommend to the attention of your honor
able body the feasibility of using all due
influence to obtain such legislative action
as may be necessary TO compel turnpike
companies to put their roads in good order
or throw open their gates. In justice t.
the public, companies should not be per
mitted TO levy Toll without rendering an
equivalent. = ~ ,1att84-st
