stealing Clothes.

Last Friday a colored individual visited
the store of Mr.. Bloombergher, on Cedar
street, and desired to be shown some ar
ticles of male attire. He was politely &C
commodated, and among the things he ex-
amined were a coat and pair of pants,
which in size and style precisely suited his
fancy. But there was a slight obstacle to
an immediate trade. The price of the gar
ments was triae larger than the amount
of finances then in possession of the Gus
toner. For this difference in sizes there
was but one remedy, and that was readily
suggested by the colored individual. He
told the merchant TO wrap up the clothing
and lay it aside, promising to get the bal
snee of the required amount and call in
again during the day. The selected
coat and pants were accordingly bun
died up and placed on the end of
the counter next the door. The GUS
toner left, business proceeded, and no
more was thought of the transaction until
the merchant was about closing the store
for the night 1t was then found that tie
bundle had disappeared. Nothing more
was seen of the clothes until Saturday,
when a clerk of the establishment observed
the very same coat and pants moving
around in the market house, on the person
of the very same negro for whom they had
been laid aside. He was at once arrested,
and is now in Jail to answer for stealing
the clothing he partially arranged to pur-
chase. Circumstances now isdicate that he
will soon appear in striped suit at the
expepse of the State.

The statement in this paper on Sunday
TO the effect that one Skinner had been in
dicted for giving Ku-Klux warnings to
certain officials in Humphreys county, in
duced that gentleman to pay usa call yes
terday. He states that the pretended facts
on which he was indicted are false from
beginning 10 end. He asserts that GER
tain clique in that county were anxious
for the militia TO be sent there, and for that
purpose several citizens, himself among the
number, were warned" to leave; that he
believed these warnings" were bogus got
up to bring the militia, and that he was
opposed to the scheme. He desired to
visit Washington, place be had never
seen, and ayailed himself Of the cheap iare
of the railroads to go. He says he did not
90 TO seek office. And that some OF those
who favored the militia, took advantage
of his absence to procure this indictment.
Ia reply to a question whether he would
not return and meet the issue, he stated
that be preferred to be arrested in this
city, where he would give bonds and
thereafter meet his accusers. 1t is proper
to add that Mr.. Skinner denies ever beire

Masonic Hall last night was crowded to
its utmost capacity with the admirers Of the
burnt cork opera, and well were those
present paid for their visit, for it is one of
the best troupes now travelling. The COM
pany is very large, and composed of a
number of fine musicians, with some Of
the best burlesquers we have ever seen in
that line of business. In part first, the in
strumentral music was choice, while there
was also some fine singing, the ballad Of
Mr.. Richards in particular meeting with
loud encore. The Barber Red Opera was
produced with fine effect, and is one of the
best burlesques we have seen lately. Frank
Kent as the prima donna personating the
part with grace and no little of the ridicu-
lous to make the burlesque a success, The
silver statue double dance is something
new, and original with Frank Parkhurst
and Lew Collins 1t took we'll. The
company make their last appearance to-
night, when the house will again, no
doubt, be crowded.

FRIGHTFUL COLLISION ON THE
LOBISvTLLEA AND NASHVILLE
RAILROAD.
Injuries su..ainea by Jack sn,pe.



On Sunday morning last, as the train
from this city, Frank Sterling, engineer,
was nearing Elizabethtown, on the Louis
Vile and Nashville railraad, something
very remarkable happened, as We learn
from the Conrier-Journal of yesterday. The
train was probably within two miles of
EIizabethtown aud was going at the rate Of
thirty Il ye miles an hour, when sll of
sudden the headlight of the locomotive
vanished, leaving nothing bnt the showers
of sparks from the smokestacks to light
the way. The engineer, at a loss to &C.
count for the disappearance Of the light,
which had apparently been " snuffed out
by some invisible hand, reversed the en-
CINE, whistled down brakes" and the
train stopped. Immediately he began an
investigation, and found that hole, six
inches in diameter, had been made 10 the
front glass, round, and apparently made by
large pistol ball. The chimney of the
lamp was broken, and thrusting his hand
into the compartment, to his astonishment
his fingers touched something that seemed
TO be bird crouching in one corner. He
drew il forth, and upon examination found
it to be jsck:snipe. The bird was alive
and did not appear TO be in the least hurt
by lis collision with the locomotive.
The fact of the bird being unipjured is
accounted for by its exceeding swiitness.
At this time of year it emigrates from the
South to the North, and is said to pass
through the air at the rate of sixty or sew
enty miles an hour. The bird, then, must
have been making better time than the
locomotive, so that all the force Of the iron
monster was lost on the little feathered
wanderer of the air.
He is now in possession of Mr.. james
Murphy, the fireman, and is said to be do.
ing we'll. II is hard to believe that his
snipeship escaped with SO little harm. No
doubt, if the truth were known, he expe-
rienced at least mild headache for a
short time after the collision. Railroad
men never will quite admit that any one
or anything is injured.

COLLISION BETWEEN THE MILITIA
AND KU-KLUX.
So ReDorted but no, Be,,eyed.


Two negroes reported at headquarters
yesterday that fight occurred at Wood
vile, between the Ku-Klux and twenty
militiamen. The facts of the case are as
follows: These two negroes came to the
city few days since, and reported TO Gen.
Cooper that they had been driven from
home and wanted protection. Gen. Cooper
issued orde.s to Capt. Ginger to send
twenty men to WoodVille, few miles from
HumboIL Gibson county, TO protect fhe
negroes lives. The negroes say that when
they arrived at the place they were met by
large number of Ku-Klux, and were
fred upon. The militia retreated, after
several shots were fred, to their quarters
at Humboldt. They did not know whether
any one was shot or not. We doubt very
much this statement, bu! give it for what
it is worth. There has been no official in
formation received as yet. The affair is
said to have occurred Saturday night last.

GENTLEMEN: DR.. LIaHTHILL expects to
visit your city soon, and for the benefit of
the suffering L wish to say, through you,
to your very extensive acquaintance in
this and other Southern States that DIR.
LighthiIl can do all for the suffering that
can be afforded bv skill. science and a
comprehensive experience.
Indeed, DR.. Llghthill 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 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 baffied the skill all. DR..
LighthilI 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
we'll and still continues in excellent health
1t may be proper to state that when Miss
Mitchum went under DIR, Lighthill's treat
ment abe was unable to walk and, as her
friends thought, was RAPIDLY approaching
death.
If You have any friends among your ex-
teusive acquaintance suffering with any
chronic disease you may safely recommend
them to DR.. Lighthill.
Yours, very respectfully,

There was much animation yesterday
among dealers in Bank of Tennessee notes,
and forty cents on the dollar was freely
offered and fOrty-fve cents asked. Tele-
grams we're received from New York bank
ers expressing the confident belief that a
decision would be rendered by The Su.
prene Court, in the case from Nashville,
sustaining the rights of the note-holders.
We are not apprised ofthe grounds of this
opinion, but it had a marked effect upon
the notes in this city yesterday.

The Weather

Since our last issue we have experienced
another change 60 peculiar in the weather
of this latitude, at this season Of the year.
Sunday was as warm as day in June. At
night there was storm Of lightning and
thunder, followed by copious fall of rain,
and yesterday morning the ground was
covered with fakes of ice, and during the
entire day the mercury stood at freezing
point. This visitation of the cold snap was
no doubt a part aud parcel of the great
Canadian snow storm, its effects just be-
ginning 10 be felt here.

A Weather Item .

1t may be interesting to our readers to
be reminded of the fact that the 18th of
March, 1843, just twenty-six years ago, was
just such another day as that of Sunday,
the 14th inst, warm and balmy, and that
the day following there was fall of snow
from fifteen toeighteen inches deep, which
remained on the ground for couple of
weeks. Like the past winter, the weather
was unusually mild, and the season which
followed yielded the largest crop known
for years.
