banquet and Ball.

The grand banquet and ball which has
been the topic of conversation in Radical
circles for some days past came of last night
at the hall in the Court House.
The hall was most tastefully and hand
somely decorated with flags and evergreens,
and indeed presented a gorgeous appear
ance. 10 fact we have never seen the hall
SO gayly decked on any previous occasion
since the days Of the old Volunteer Fire
Department, when it was customary for
them to have reunions in that building.
On the stage was tent representing Gen.
Grants headquarters, with stacked arms in
front. This portion of the display was
complimentary to the military gentlemen
present, but civilians could not exactly see
the fitness in such embellishments.
The dancing commenced at an early
hour, and the large number present SEEM
ed to enjoy themselves finely, Altogether
the affair passed of most agreeably.
The supper of this occasion was in all
respects 8 superb and magnificent affair.
On this point, at least, there was no divis-
ion Of opinion. The tables were hand
somely decorated and bountifully supplied
with the most choice delicacies and sub
stantials, served up in decidedly palatable
style. 1t was the generally expressed
opinion of those present that in arrange
ment, elegance and abundance, the
festival last night would compare
fsvorably with any previous ovation of the
kind in this city. 1t was highly creGitable
TO the managers and to our enterprising
fellow-citizen Gus. Jonnard, Of the d" Mer-
chants Exchange" who furnished and su
perintended the feast He thus wins new
laurel5 as a caterer, showing that be thor
oughly understands the art Of providing
Tor the inner man. The cakes, fruits and
confections were supplied by Mrs George
Greig, of Union street, and, as usual, gave
entire satisfaction.

Liberated hY his Friends


The MurfreesbOro Netos is informed by
Sheriff Webb, of that county, that while in
Nashville recently, he visited Jno. Garner
who was in prison, and Intercepted him
10 relation to the parties who released him
in Williamson county recently, and be
informed Webb that it was his friends and
relations who released him and that they
assumed this Disguise TO carry out their
designs
Webb was Of the opinion, previous to
this interview with Garner, that be had
been taken possession of by the Ku K lux,
and sought an interview with Garner to
satisfy himself who the parties we're that
liberated him. As in Gamers release,
says that paper, SO it will be in Copeland'r,
and when the facts are ascertained in all
reported Ku-Klux outrages it will turn
out TO be parties who are in sympathy with
captured thieves, and who are using every
means to do away with civil law and bring
about military rule and mi litary courts.

The mum eroua friends Of Mr.. Tip Jen-
kins, who was seriously injured by boiler
explosion three weeks ago, will be gratifed
to learn that the symptoms in his case are
so favorable as to indicate his early recoV-
cry. For a time, there was reason TO ap-
preheud different result, and it affords us
pleasure to state that it no longer exists.
The suferings of Mr., jenkins from the
time of the occurrence, until two or three
days ago, have been of the most painful
character. A strong constitution, superior
medical attention, and the untiring servi-
ces of devoted friends, are circumstances to
which the favorable termination of his
case, are 10 a measure attributable.

GENTLEMEN: Dr.. LIGHTHILI. 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 DIR.
Lighthill can do all for the suffering that
can be afforded by skill, science and a
comprehensive experience.
Indeed, DR.. 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 a
rising in the head, which had fer years
emitted through the ear very ugly and
offensive corruption. Her case had been
treated by the best physicians of the conn
try and had bsffied the skill of all. DR..
Lighlhill 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 TO state that when Miss
Mitchum went under DIR. LighthilPs 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 DR.. Lighthill.
Yours, very respectfully,

The New York Express of the evening
of the I'd inst, says:
THE general trade of the city is in
creasing, and there is a firm feeling in
nearly all directions. The Southern pur-
chases are quite large in the aggregate, and
business really would be quite dull if il was
not for the South. In the department of
dry goods trade has fallen of, and cotton
goods are weaker, owing to the decline in
the raw material. The principal buyers in
the market thus far, are jobbers from the
large Southern and Western cities, very
few of The smaller merchants from the in
terror towns having made their appear
ance as yet. WOolens are a trihe
more active, while the season for
foreign goods has not fairly opened.
The hardware trade is quite active
and the orders from the South are heavy,
but the trade with the West has been light
thus far All the leading styles of goods
strap and T hinges and wrought butts.
The manufacturers are engaged on orders
on many styles of goods. The boot and
shoe trade is improving, and there is every
indication of an active campaign in mer-
camille circles la the future. la the pro.
duce markets cotton and provisions have
declined, with a marked pause in the specu-
latiye spirit At the Produce Exchange
only a very moderate business has been
transacted, and pretty much all kinds of
preadstuffs have declined. The export |
demand has fallen off materially, while the |
home trade has only taken sufficient to sup
ply pressing wants.

A BIG LAWSUIT sDECIDED.

Owners of the Steamer Imperial obtain
$4,000 Damages.against the Louis
VILE and Nashville Railroad.
Under the head of the Circuit Court de-
cisions, it will be seen that the owners Of
the steamer Imperial obtained a verdict
against the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road for the sum of$22, 600. In March, 1865
this steamer attempted 10 pass through
the piers of the Railroad bridge, wal
caught on the draw and sunk, the boat
proving total loss.
The owners of the steamer were repre-.
scented by M, NJ. Brien, jr., and w. B.
Brien, who managed the case vita great
ability, and were highly complimented on
all sides for the arguments they made in
the case. 1t was a big suit, and these gen.
tlemen may we'll feel little proud of the
decision as il was rendered.

DOgisticai.


A reliable gentleman, who "was alway 9
good at figures" lately had three weeks Of
idle time on his hands, and, cnriously
enough, took up the idea that he would EN-.
ploy it in making an accurate estimate Of
the number of dogs in the city. He fin.
ished the self-imposed labor at noon yes
terday, and is now SO perfectly satisfied
with the result of his investigations as to
be willing to bet two to one on its accuracy.
He fnds, according to the figures furnished
us, within the corporate limits Of the city
of Nashville, just six thousand three hug
dred and twenty.eight dogs-nota "purp"
less or more, unless some have been
brought in since the commencement of the
count, or some killed or carried off since
that period. The count, of course, en-
braces dogs of all sorts, sizes and description,
of high and low degree-"Tray, Blanche,
Sweetheart" and every other dog. The
gentleman assures us that this work of
enumerating the dogs in the city, has de-
veloped some curious and interesting facts,
which may hereafter be turned to good
public account. He also gives it as an
opinion, thoroughly sustained by the in
yestigation just completed, that the opera
ton Of the late dog law resulted in no
permanent decrease in the number of dogs.
A great many, it is true, were killed, but
in most instances their owners, with as
little delay as possible, supplied themselves
with others, and in this respect, are as we'll
off as before. He says the country readily
supplies the demand of the city, stiff prices
being sometimes paid for the most worthless
ours. 1t is a settled point, be says, that folks
will keep dogs in their possession. If
taken away from them by law or ruthless
ly turned into practical account by the
managers Of public soup houses or sausage
factories, the places of the defunct barkers
are quickly supplied by others. The par
TALLY of men for dogs is superior 10 their
fondness for any other animal, and they
will, no matter who forbids it, always man.
age to have them around. The invention Of
some means calculated to keep them from
barking and biting would be about the
only effective remedy for the common nui-
sance of too many dogs in populous cities.
We have only ak thousand, three hundred
and lwensy-eight. Is that too many?

Distressing ARPisIanf

The Franklin Review contains an account
of an accident that happened to Mr.. John
n. Caruthers, few days ago. On starting
to town, he thought of a small Smith &
Wesson pistol which he had left lying on a
bed, and requested his young wife to hand
it to him, which she was proceeding 10 dc
when the pistol was accidentally discharged
in her hand, the ball entering his right
side and producing very severe and pain
ful wound. The best surgical aid of our
town was instantly summoned, and on
probing the wound it was ascertained that
the ball had lodged in the body, but its
exact whereabouts We learn could not be
fodnd with the most skillful probing. AS
may be imagined, the young wife was over
whelmed with grief at the terrible accident.
Although very painful, the wound is not
considered fatal one, and at last accounts
M G.. was doing very we'll.
