of spectators. The Introductory address
was delivered by Robert Parrish, one Of

were exceedingly good, and caused no lit

Handsomely, as did the others. Then came
a dialogue between Johnny Collins and

BARMORE.
An Examination of HIS Trunk Reveals
No Good Clothes.

An Examination of HIS Trunk Reveals
No Coed Clothes.
As circumstance which goes far TO
strengthen the impression that when Bar
more, the missing detective, left Nashville
oslensibly to carry a prisoner 10 Pulaski,
he did not intend TO return, il may be mem
toned that few days since his trunk
which was left at his boarding house in the
city was examined by an officer invested
with authority from the proper source and
revealed nothing more valuable than a
few articles Of cast-off under clothing.
When il is remembered that Barmore was
generally well supplied in the way Of
clothes, and that he usually wore the neat
est and finest sort, having different suits
for various occasions, it is significant, to
say the least, that those who instituted the
search were unable to discover any thing
but such articles as he could very well
afford TO lose, If had been his intention
to return in a short time from Pulaski, is
il not reasonable to suppose that he would
have left some portion of his wardrobe
here, as had usually been his habit on
making short professional visits to the
country In addition to the fact men.

Mortified to find in it nothing but full.
rugged suit of what is generally
supposed to be the garb of the
ghostly Khan known as the Ku Klux.
What Barmore wanted with this ghostly
garment, or rather what he intended to
make of it, is a matter of easy conjecture.
Why he left the city withOut any intention
of returning, is also matter Of conjecture,
almost as easy. To him there was money
in shaking the dust of the city from his
feet, and making himself the object Of Jor-
chile, mysterious seizure. Who paid the
money is another question, but time will
answer it. See if it don't. The school
fund disclosures may bring something TO
light, and Barmore may turn out as one OF
the chief operators in hunting up evidence.

And this o'er-wearied heart and brain
Repose at last in peace
Still nearer these dear ones
Whose pilgrimage now DER,
Dwell safe from every earthly care
With Christ foreyermore,
Ali life hath been to me
A sadly varied scene.
Tho oft my pathway led
Through groves and valleys green.
Whose loving flowers for me
Breathed forth their rich perfume,
Yet they persisted and I've long
Wept Ger their loWly tomb.
And friends deemed so true
When sorrow came toere NOT,
And loves sweet vows. alas. were. too,
Like msrning dreams. forgot,
But hope divine still cheered me on.
Tho fainting oft with fear,
And Gods dear grace sustained my soul.
Thro' many a weary year.
And now my lonely pilgrimage
Is drawing near its close.
And welcome shall the summons be
That calls me from life's woes.
To that pure world, where Jesus reigns.
Where those I've loved are gone.
And where my soul shall never feel
As here on earth. alone.

CITEMENT QUIETED.
A Couple of Monsters Brought TO Grief

Fortunate Hunting Party.
Our readers have from time 10 time been
advised of the movements of the Whites
Creek panther, the terror of that entire
neighborhood. There are many no doubt,
who have been inclined to the belief that
our reports from that quarter were made
up in the fashion of "snaix" stories, and
purely sensational, but such was not the
case. Our information was derived from
reliable parties, and what We have stated
before was strictly true with one exception,
and that is, the panther turns out to be a
large yellow dog, and as wild, however, as
the beasts of Africa. This fact was not
known until Friday last when he was
killed. A party of young men were out
hunting, and killed not only this dog, but
a wild cat, measuring from nose to tail four
feet. They were side by side, and no
doubt had been roaming through the
country together. On Thursday last, a
yesrling heifer was killed by these mon
sters, not far from where the dog and
Wild cat were slaughtered. A young
man named Graves fred the fatal shot
which put quietus to these "monarchs" Of
that particular forest, and the people Of
Whites Creek are, it is useless to say, very
much grati6ed at his success.
1t sounds little funny to be speaking Of
wild dog, but there are hundreds of PEG.
pie in the Whites Creek valley that know
something about his origin and pedigree
The supposed mother of this dog was seen
in the neighborhood some years ago, and
although captured several times by vari.
GUS parties, she could not be induced to
remain about house. When last seen she
had one puppy which followed her, and
which was no doubt The same one which
has Just been killed.
