About 7 o'clock yesterday evening, as

buggy TO his house in the country, when
in Union street near the corner of High,
his horse became frightened and unman-
ageable, and turning suddenly, capsized the
vehicle. In springing from it, Judge Har-
rison missed his footing, and came to the
ground with such violence as to fracture
his right leg Just above the ankle, and
cause a rupture of the ligaments and the
ankle Joint He received no other dam
age, but the injury to his leg is a painful
and serious one, and may confne him for
some time. He was taken to the residence
of DIR. J. d. Winston, in the immediate
vicinity, where he now lies under surgical

THE maxwell HoUsE-CoL. PRATT
OF CINCINNATI-We had the pleasure yes
terday Of meeting in this city with Col.
Pratt. the former well-known proprietor
Of the Spencer House, Cincinnati, one of
the most excellent and popular hotels in
the country. Col. Pratt has recently re-
tired from the management Of the house.
During yesterday, he inspected the Max
well House now approaching completion,
and as one perfectly competent 10 express
an opinion, he gave high credit TO the
owner and architects of that establishment
in pronouncing it unsurpassed at least, if
not superior, to any one in the country in
IFS interior construction and arrangements.
We DO not know that Col. Pratt purpo-
ses to engage in business again, but we are
certain that if a negotiation TO place him in
charge Of the Maxwell House could be eff
fected, its management would be in every
respect equal TO the superb structure, and
Nashville would soon be able to boast a
hotel, as fine and as finely kept as the first
houses on the continent.
