The Nashville Female Academy.
TIE a3D OF APRIL, 1916.

On this day. the original stockholders met
for the first time on this ground. The forest of
oak and cedar was unbrOken. This was then
in the country. In form, or in fact, each of
these men then and afterwards gave each less
than $500. and by every act and in every form
of speech, in their deeds and charter, in their
solemn prayer. and by all their words up to the
these BUILDINGS and grounds, to the interest
alone of female education and at that day,
and up to the war. an attempt on the part of
any one of them to SPECULATE in this property
would have driven him from their society.
y The Academy was the first chartered Female
Academy in the United States-the pioneer of
all those splendid institutions. both North and
South, which have given to woman on this
continent a place of elevation and power,
which she knows not in the old coVntry. The
faithful Berry. the amiable Hume, the honest
Lapsley, brought down its history to eur day.
Some of the most brilliant stars in the courts
of Europe some of the most honorable historic
characters of Washington City, received their
education here, to say nothing of the thousands
of faithful wives and dutiful mothers, all over
the South. whose great-grandchildren have
| entered the Academy in 1852 and in ls40
jointly with DR.. Lapsley, became Superintend-
ent in 1874, in addition. took charge of the
Boardinghouse; and in 1913 became alone re-

The following table gives its history during
these years. In the first column will be found
the number of names of young ladies entered
during the year: in the second, the number
who were bOarders; and in the third, the num-

CORPORATION CHECKS
THE Recorders 0lHce Robbed by ,
Trusted servant.

The Recorders 0Gfce Robbed by O
Trusted Servant
Early yesterday morning the iron safe
in the Office of Recorder Mile, at the
Markethouse, was robbed of corporation
checks, drawn in favor of various parties,
to the amount of 1892. Shortly after the
discovery of the theft suspicion was direct
ed towards George Lanier, colored man
for some time past employed by Judge
Mills as an Office servant, and subsequent
investigation established The fact that he
was really the guilty party. Lsnders
took the checks 10 Mars Banking
House, where he was paid the
money for which they called. Upon be-
ing arrested and carried TO the bank, La
nier was identified as the man from whom
the checks had been bought. The money
paid for them was afterwards found in
Georges trunk, and this also was identified
by the gentleman who paid it in exchange
for the checks. The accused was impris-
oned to await a judicial investigation of
the case tomorrow. The Recorder was
greatly astonished at the discovery of the
robbers identity, for his previous charac-
ter and conduct were such as to give conf
dence both on the part of his employer
and others in his h The facts thus
far developed make it seem that Georges
integrity was too thin to Withstand the
temptation to which il was exposed.

A Heavy Frost.

Those who rose early enough yesterday
morning were appraised of heavy frost on
the night previous. The night was clear
and cold, and at o'clock yesterday, we
are told that in the country adjacent 10 the
city, the mercury fell to eight degrees be-
low freezing point, producing ice upwards
of one eighth of an inch thick. We con-
versed yesterday with a large number Of
persons from various portions of the
county, the majority of whom we're of the
opinion that peaches, pears and plums had
been killed, while few thought that the
frost had not been 80 damaging in its re-
snlts. The prospect for fine fruit yield
was never better than it was day or two
ago, but there is no telling what a brief
day will bring forth.

On Thursday last, Gov. Senter was met
at the depot ct Knoxville by a number o.
his friends, and called upon for a speech.
The Knoxville Wing thus reports his re.
marks:
He was just from the seat of our State
government, having travelled from Nash
vile here. His observations on the route
led him to believe that the people all along
the line were peaceable and quiet, and
manifested no disposition TO lswlessne ss.
Gen. Grant, he said, was at work, and Gen.
Cooper was at work, and that under the
present administration of affairs he had no
doubt our State would soon assume iis
former glory, the peace and prosperity of
which il had been 30 ruthlessly deprived
by the late wicked and fan atical rebel
lion. He thought that counties which had
lately shown disposition to disregard
Law we're now amongst the best in the
State. lie believed that under this ben
Efficient state of affairs the militia might
soon be disbanded and sent home to pillow.
If this was done, and the districts hereto
fore rebellious again insulted the laws and
prosecuted loyal citizens, and the State
guards had TO be called out a second time,
then wo be unto those upon whom the
hand of stern justice should fall He paid
a high tribute to East Tennessee, as the
home of his childhood and the pride of his
manhood. The tone of his remarks shows
very clearly that be will lake 10 backward
steps in the line Of policy laid down by the
Republican party OF Tenn,ssse. He IVES
warmly congratulated by his friends, and
departed with their best WISHES.

We regret to hear from persons &C.
quainted with the subject, that in all
probability the cold weather of Friday
night last was fatal to the prospect of fruit
in this locality, and especially disastrous
to the blooming peach trees. 1t was OBJ
served yesterday morning that heavy frost
had fallen, that in some places the ground
was frozen, and that thin ice covered small
bodies Of water. The test, we fear, was
too severe for all exposed vegetation.

Another. bridge Aeress the Cumber-

The proposition to build another bridge
across the Cumberland is being freely dis
cussel, and we have Leard of several par
ties who are anxious TO subscribe literally
to the new enterprise, either for a free
bridge or by stock.
Church street has been favorably named
as the best location for the new bridge, in
asmuch as a street railroad connection
could easily be made here; and the build
ing of street railroad in EdgefeId is also
one of the improvements to follow the
