We learn from the Louisville papers that
fire broke out in Thomas J. Merritt
store of Photographic goods, Friday night,
but was discovered in time to prevent a
serious conaagration. The building was
damaged very little by the fire, only some
shelving in the lower story being burned.
The iiremen were compelled TO break in
the doors, and deluge both the first and
second stories with water. This irreparably
damaged the entire stock Of goods, which
is estimated TO be worth about SIG, 600.
The insurance on the goods is said TO be
something like $1,000. Mr. Merritt is at
present in Memphis, snd had but recently
moved into the building. He had been
receiving fresh stock for several weeks.
MIR. Merritt formerly did business in this
city, and his friends here will regret his
misfortune

FROM =, A. COLLINS, ESQ
of Milan, Tenn.

Messrs. Pigts, Manner C Hall, NasHpale,
GENTLEMEN Dr.. LIGHTHILL expects to
visit your city soon, and for the benefit Of
the suffering | wish to say, through you,
to your very extensive acquaintance in
this and other Southern States that DR.,
Lighthill can do all for the suffering that
can be afforded bv skill, science and a
comprehensive experience.
Indeed, DIR. LIghthill performs some
almost miraculous cures. One case for in
stance. Iplaced under his treatment, over
two years since, my niece, Miss Eliza
Mitchum, of McLemoresVille, Tenn. She
had been suffering from a child with q
rising in The head, which had for years
emitted through the ear very ugly and
offensive corruption. Her case had been
treated by the best physicians of the coun-
try and had baffled the skill all. DR.,
Lighthill kept her under his immediate
charge for ten days and then sent her home
with remedies. She used the remedies as
directed and in three months was entirely
well and still continues in excellent health
1t may be proper 10 state that when Miss
Mitchum went under DIR. Lighlhilrs treat
ment she was unable to walk and, az her
friends thought, was rapidly approaching
death.
If you have any friends among your ex-
tensive acquaintance suffering with any
chronic disease you may safely recommend
them TO DIR. Lighthill.
Yours, very respectfully,
f. A. COLLINS.

VIII n Plea of Insanity be Madeg

hhh ~ = hNN Va AhSaehhhy No HhthtE
II is rumored here thata plea ofinsanity
is likely to be urged liz the case Of person
prominently connected with the develop
ments lately made concerning the School
Fund robbery, and that the evidence nee
essary TO substantiate this plea is now being
taken in the city of Memphis. Driven to
desperation by the damning proof made
in the coure of this School Fund investi
CATION against hitherto bright and shining
lights in the Radical Church, il il not i'm
probable that the artful and unserupulou:
men who knew so we'll how 10 rob the State
will avail themselves of every possible
means TO weaken the proofs supporting the
allegations of their guilt. They and theil
particular friends are hardly too scrupu,
lous TO refuse resort to the convenient sug-
gestiOn of proving the mental arrangement
Of witnesses against them. We know MOI
how much or little truth there is 10 the
report, but should not be surprised at the
yerifcation Of rumor's story. 1t would
take more than this to astonish anybody

inanimate condition. Buyers and sellers
are wide apart in their views. Transac
tons were confined to popular city brands

eral scale and prices are working easier,
with marked tendency to lower prices.
