The world-renowned Skiff & Gaylord's
Minstrels commence an engagement at the
New Theater tonight. Their fame has al
ready preceded them, and they will doubt
less have successful week Of it. The At
lanta Nerc Era thus speaks Of the troupe:
SkifT 4 GaylorPs Ministries performed
two nights to full houses, and the perform.
ances have given general satisfaction. In
deed. we have never seen audiences more
delighted than those We saw at the Broad
street Theater last night and the night be-
fore. The performance by the troupe was
ofthe most uuexceptionable character. The
Jokes, songs and pantomimes were free from
ANYTHING that would offend the taste Of The
most fastidious. Ladies could attend the
performances with proPriety, and they did
attend and were pleased.

A Suggestion.

The white and colored people who pro-
fess to be greatly elated over the Presl-
Dental election, are making preparations
for a grand public blowout or exhibition
of the joyous enthusiasm now swelling
their patriotic souls almost &C bursting. A
Republican who has not allowed his Victo-
rious enthusiasm to get the upper-hand OF
his economical ideas, suggests.that it would
be better TO defer the proposed demonstra-
ton until the Fourth Of July. He makes
the suggestion in the interest of economy
altogether, as he thinks it would be great
saving of turpentine and ire-crackeIs. The
glorious Fourth has necessarily TO be cels'
brated on day fixed by the COURSE of re-
bellious events" in the early history OF the
country, and it seems to be the idea of a
least one Republican citizen, that a Radl
cal triumph can be celebrated at any TINT
within year after its achievement. Al
an additional reason for the postponement
it is suggested that as the inauguration o
Gen. Grant occurs before the Fourth Of Ju
ly, the party will by that time see precise
Iy how much of a triumph it has gained IL
the election of that gentleman, and know
ito gnat's heel" how big or little the re
coCnition of the event should be.

Nashville bible society.

The anniversary meeting of the Nash
vile Bible Society was held Sunday Light
atthe McKendree Church. The yearly re-
port of the Secretary was read, giving a
most interesting account of the workings
Of the society during the year past. The
annual address was delivered by Rev. K.
F. Bunting. His subject was "The Eng
lish Bible" It was replete with interest
ing facts, sound instruction, and eloquent
thoughts. This is the last appearance in
our midst of DR.. Bunting, who goes this
week to his new field of labor in Texas,
and who carries with him the warm regrets
at parting, and the lasting love and respect
of many citizens of Nashville.
The church was crowded to its utmost
capacity. There were a great many who
went away, unable to obtain seats.

UOuOrabIy Acquitted.

DrL. L. Coleman was arrested some days
ago upon the charge of being an accessory
to the murder of Mrs. Creig's child, and
was cited to trial yesterday before Justice
Mathews. When the hour arrived, the
Doctor appeared ready TO defend himself
from a charge so grave, but there was no
one present to prosecute the case, and not
particle of proof against him to be pre-
scented, consequently he was hoROrably dis
charged. The Doctor was professionally
engaged when the child was born, and be-
cause of that fact he was arrested, without
the least proof of criminality on his part
Upon such charge, however, he requires
no defense from those who have intimately
known him during a residence of some
eight years in this city. His character is

Shooting ARRAY.

A negro boy, apparently about twelve
years old, was committed to Jail by Justice
Dunn, Sunday night, on charge of ma
Iicious shooting with intent 10 kill another
negro boy about the same age. 1t appears
that they had both been gathering walnuts
together and some dispute arose between
them. Vaughn shot the other negro boy
in the abdomen, inficting a very serious
wound. They were both armed, Vaughn
having musket and the other one pistol.
He will be arraigned before Justice Will
kinson next Thursday to answer the above
charge. The shooting took place near
Antioch, about nine miles from the city on
the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad.

r,shtn9 FroIIc Hinder DiMcuItIes

A party of well-known citizens took the
early train on the Louisville and Nashville
railroad one day last week, to have days
sport at Dismukes' pond, expecting OF
course to return again in the evening, but
after running for distance of two miller,
they got to the depot just few minutes too
late. They had pretty good string Of fish,
and with the load Of fishing tackle, etc,
the walk to Nashville would have been
quite fatiguing, not TO say anything OF the
Ku-Klux dens between them aRd home. 1t
was now dark and getting quite cool, and
as to camping out, that was impossible, for
the frost on the night previous had been
tremendous. A council of war was held,
and finally one of the party advanced an
idea, which was to hunt up hand-car, and
procure railroad employee to steam up,
and roll them into town. They succeeded IN
finding their man, and by 9P. NJ. had ar
| rived safe at home. We may add, how
ever, that chartering the hand-car cost
even, ten dollar bill, which amount was
forgotten when discussing the merits Of
several fine trout which they brought back

A Man Four Hundred Years Old.

There recently arrived in Cincinnati

in schools. He has always lived quiet,
temperate life, and never exhibited any
symptoms of insanity until within month

on the topics Of the day, but soon drifts
away into the past to recount some OF The
events which occurred two or three hun
d years ago, and in which, according to
his account, he himself mingled.
He knew Shakespeare well, he says, and
was present when he made his first appear
ance in London as an actor He speaks of
having once loaned civilian" s., which
he forgot to repay. "But never mind, ="
he says, BILLY was a good fellow, and he
wasn't as we'll fixed as was"
A gentleman remarked that, if he was
400 years old, he must have been quite
Young man when Columbus sailed in search
of the New World. Oh yea, he remem-
bered it we'll. He was present at a pre-
sentation of a bosom pin which was made
to Columbus by some of his friends, on the
night previous to his departure. They
had gay time" said he, making speeches
and drinking toasts. Chris. wanted me to
60 along with him, but 1 told him l be-
Iieyed would wait for the next steamer"
After musing little time, the 4OO-year'
old man suddenly remarked: ever know

"Why, Elizabeth, Queen of England.

CUMBERLAND COUNTY OPERA.
TE0NS.
Nem.Comers POURING In.


Cumberland county, in this State, is rap
idly being filed up with strangers from
the North, and the tide of emigration is
evidently turned toward that rich noun
famous region. W. W. Powell, a gentle
man we'll known for his enterprise, and
who has done much in the past TO invite
capital and labor to that section, writes to
friend iu this city under date Of Gross
Vile, Nov. TO-" from which we gather some
important and recent Operations. He
states in the commencement of his letter
that the Pomona property of Mr.. Dodge
has been sold to Mr.. Edmund B. Hood, re-
Gently of New York, who has purchased 1t
with the design of building town upon
it, and within few days past the property
formerly owned and occupied by John
Crook, lying on the west of the Pomona
tract has become the property of three men
from Pennsylvania, viz: Messrs. Houd,
Chandler and Brooks.
e. Last week, says the writer, the tract lying
between the Pomona land and my fancher
trac, on each side of the Sparta road, was
purchased by Mr.. Eckels, recently OF Mir
nesota, who has bought it for the purpose
of converting it into watering place.
This tract possesses a cluster OF springs,
one chalybeate. one sulphur, and one
common water. The chalybeate is very
copious fountain, and the water very clear
and cold. Mr.. Eckels is making arrange
ments 10 erect large boarding house as
soon as it is practicable, for the accommo'
dation of visitors, so that next summer
some of the good people of Nashville vii
have an opportunity of spending theil
, time here, if they choose to do so.
. We make further extracts from NJ
PowelPs letter, as follows:
We are very much hindered in tn,
# growth and prosperity of this county from
# the want of sawed timber. We hav
+ brick and lime, but without timber, W
cannot prosper.
: expect large accessiohs to our number
a henceforth. A few have arrived since
= last wrote to you, and others are known t
be on the way. Now that our election ha
= passed of, think that the minds of III
d people will be quieted, and immigrants wi
come in from the North freely. With III
E. prospect of railroads and quiet, we sha
n go ahead.
j, With one railroad running through tn
county from North to South, and anOth'
from East to West, and with all natur
d, advantages, to which add the skill, ente
re prise and capital which we shalI sure
have, cannot see what is TO prevent tn
from becoming the belle county of all tn

Serious Consequences of the Night
mare,


mare.
A Young man, well known in Poetlcal
circles, met with an accident at the st.
Cloud Hotel, on Sunday night, which came
near terminating in a serious affair. There
was a sick man stopping at the house, and,
by request, the young gent of classic sentl-
to his room to set up with
him. In a short time the old man, under
the influence of opiates, was asleep, and
Young man followed suit, and slept soundly.
The old gentleman seemed greatly troubled
in mind, and all at once sPrang out of bed,
and taking hold Of the young man, pitched
him out of the window, and then awoke'
and was not little surprised 10 find the
comforter of his woes Crouched beneath
the window, and looking very much like
the sicker man Of the two. All at once
old man realized the situation" and fear.
ing that he had killed his friend, and
robbed the world of the coming man in
the poetical armament, instantly called for
help. Assistance was rendered the young
man, and after various kinds of restora-
tives were applied, he regained his senses,
and was all setting up" again.
