Robertson Association Lectures.

Robertson Association Lectures.
The fret lecture of this course will be
given by the Rev. I. V. Moore, D. D, at
the Masonic Hall, on Tuesday evening
next at Z o'clock. DR.. Moore is one of the
most distinguished scholars in the State.
He is a stranger among us, and his liberal
interest in our local affairs, should be
heartily responded to by the people Of
Nashville. We can safely promise that all
who attend will be profted intellectually
and morally. His subject will be: Re-
creations among the Dictionaries.
We would urge upon our citizens the
great importance of making this course OF
lectures a decided success. 1t is the first
elaborate effort made for years to furnish
our young people with profitable amuse-
ment. A number of our best minds have
generously donated their time and talents
to the double object of the Robertson Az.
ISOLATION, charity and intellectual culture,
and if not cordially sustained now it will
be vain TO expect similar efforts hereafter.
We learn that on Monday committees will
wait on our citizens>fo the purpose Of OBJ
tanning subscriptions to the course, which
is placed at the low fee of three dollrrs.

From T., A. COLLINS. ESQ -,
OF Milan, Tenn.

Messrs. Pigue, Manier & Hull, Nashville,
Tenn:
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..
Lighthili can do all for the suffering that
can be afforded by 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 MeLemoresville, Tenn. She
had been suffering from child with
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 baffed the skill of all. DIR.
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 10 excellent health
1t may be proper TO state that when Miss
Mitchum went under DIR. Lighthill's treat
ment she was unable to walk and, as 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,

FIRST BOARD.


The New York Post of the afternoon Of
the Both ult. says:
"The money market is still stringent
and rates, on call loans range from gold
interest TO seven per cent in currency,
with a commission of J of one per cent.
per day. There has been up TO this hour
Tone o'clock an apparently less urgent de-
mand than during the corresponding lime
yesterday, which is in part due TO the fact
that the brokers have made a special mar
ket, at the Stock Exchange, for borrowing
and lending, where transactions in money
are conducted on the same plan as dealings
in other securities. The banks generally
are strengthening themselves for the quar-
terly statement, aud a great number of
loans are accordingly changed. This
statement will be made on the Saturday
morning settlement of the banks at the
Clearing House, and the preparation for
this settlement will BE- completed iOmOr-
row, Friday being a close holiday; the
greatest pressure, therefore, is naturally
expected tomorrow. The fact that the
Assistant Treasurer has to-day commenced
the disbursement of the January coin in
rerest, will, to the extent of the coin dis
bursed, relieve the banks, as the same will,
of course, be counted by them as a pOr-
ton of their legal reserve. At the differ
ent stock boards an extensive business has
been done in turning stocks, brokers sell
ing them for cash, or immediate delivery,
and buying them back deliverable, at the
option of the purchaser, tomorrow and
within three aud within five days. In
these transactions there has been a differ
ence against buyers options of ! to per
cent. according to the time which they
run.
The following table will show the fluc-
tuations of gold in New York during the
nrasant vaar.

Shooting AFFAIR az KnoxyiiIe.

On Thursday morning last, difficulty
Of rather a serious character occurred at
Knoxville between Mitchell Childress and
Charles H. Flournoy. The difficulty
originated about claim against the gov
eminent in the haRds Of Flournoy, for the
benefit Of a widow lady. Childress de-
nounced him as a: swindIer. A scuffle en-
sued, when Flournoy struck Childress with
Ratchet, the latter in return striking F.
on the arm with heavy stick, knocking
the Ratchet from his hand. Flournoy
then drew a pistol and fired, the ball
grazing the abdomen Of Childress, but not
penetrating the skin. The parties were
then separated. Flournoy was afterwards
arrested, and bound over to court.

structive fire on Wednesday night last.
The large two story brick on the northeas
corner of the Square is now pile Of ruins.
The fire originated in the cellar and was
under such Roadway when discovered but
little was saved from its devouring flames.
The house was occupied at the time by
NanPetten, confectioner; Jarrel, timer;
and Guest, bootmaker. The building be-
longed to gentleman in Nashville, and

Highway Robbery.

Yesterday morning on Cherry street,
near the Merchants Exchange, while a
little white boy stood near show window
admiring the pretty things inside, and
wishing he had money enough to purchase
those which most pleased his fancy, ne
gro fellow snatched small red leather
pOcket-book which Ike child held in his
hand, and made double-quick time out of
sight. The book contained a small sum Of
money and was fastened with a rubber
strap. A reward of 81 will be paid for its
delivery at this office

Which gives a majority OF hlty-iour to the
citizens ticket. In order TO give their
ticket respeclability, the Radicals headed
il with A. q. Sanford, which accounts for
him having received such a large vote
In justice to that gentleman, we will state
that he did not authorize such a liberty,
bat on the contrary acted and co.Operated
with the citizens.
Last night there was a general jollitica-
ton at the result, and a great pyrotechnic
display over the victory. The success of
the ticket filled Con. O'DonnelPz soul with
poetry, and Tom Crunk was trimming
full of eloquence. Among those most hap
by, however, were the colored men who
have always voted on the right side. They
seemed TO have high appreciation Of the
victory gained, and mingled freely in the
grand rejoicing.
