Real Estate sale.

A large crowd attended the Nichol sale
in West Nashville yesterday, and the bid
ding during a portion of the time was
quite spirited, but it did not continue so.
The sale commenced on Broad street ez-
tended, where a number of cottages, each
fronting % feet, were put up, the lots be-
ing upward of 200 feet in depth. The first
was knocked down to Esq. Gunter at ST.
1876. The second house and lot was also
purchased by the same gentleman at ST.
600. Nos. three, four and five in the row
were purchased by NJ L. Blanton, two of
which brought 1852 each, and the other
bid off at 81 ,005. No. was purchased at
1865 by F. Fields, and No. was knocked
down TO Mrs. A. Dooley, the occupant, at
$fS6. A lot 100 feet front on the opposite
side of the street belonging to M. McCor-
mack, was purchased by Thomas Murphy
at $3I per foot. Another lot on the same
street belonging to the late VIM. G. Nichol,
was knocked down to Esq. Gunter at $50
per foot.
After this sale, those in attendance
were invited to partake of magnificent
lunch at the residence of P. L. Nichol.
The repast was bountiful in the way of sub
stantials, and other good things, including
under the head of delicacies, a supply of
hot coffee, which was decidedly ''apropos,
the weather duly considered, and it is need
less to say reished by all his guests. At
ter dinner, the beautiful grounds, conser
vatories. ETC., of Mr.. Nichol were inspected
and admired. The residence was then
placed upon the market, but not sold, nc
one present being willing to invest suffi.
cient sum to purchase SO valuable piece
of property.

Hotels To-day.

The several hotels of the city have made
arrangements to feast their guests right
royalty to-day. The excellent markets are
culled of the rarest and choicest productions
with which the country and gardens and
diaries Observation-Disclosures and viands are
prepared. The bounteously supplied tables
of that prince of landlords, W. Matt Brown,
of the Stacey House, will groan under
every variety of luxury. The Maxwell will
spread banquet gorgeous enough for old
Epicurus himself The City Hotel will
feast its customers 70 everything the cook
can serve or the palate desire. The st.
Charles will prepare the choicest and the
best. The Commercial will feed those who
partake to the full on all the bounties of
the season, and the Planters and others, as
well as the restaurants, will do the same.
The hotels and landlords of Nashville will
compare favorably with any in the country,
and they will illustrate both their good taste
and hberality to-day.

Month and Half SaIarr.

There is, we learn, a month and halfs
salary due the Metropolitan Police for ser
vices rendered. We do not know exactly
what the condition Of the city may be for
the liquidation of outstanding claims We
are certain that the treasury is pretty well
depleted, owing in part to the extravagant
administration Of affairs during the last
few years. and the indiscriminate issuance
Of city checks The city authorities, we
are sure, are disposed to make all houola-
bic settlements with rs much dispatch as
circumstances will permit. The just debts
due the police for their services should be
paid, if possible, at once. They are,
many of them men of families, and need
their earnings They are thrown out of
employment, and have recourse for support
alone upon individual energy and exer-
ton. The cold winter too, is upon us
and as they expect to change their base and
engage in other avocatiOns, it is essentially
important to them that all moneys due
them should be paid. Their expenses
while waiting for litigation, none of them
receiving any income, will if protractcd
absorb the amount of all balances due
them. We are not discussing the merits
of the claims, but present these considera-
tons with reference 10 the amounts actu-
ally due them. They are certainly forcible
enough 10 entitle them to be impressed
and acted upon, with as much expedition
rs possible.

New Theatcr.

Miss Hosmer appeared at the New
Theater last night in the character Of
Thisbe, in the French play of the Actress
of Padua The audience was not so large
as it might have been, nor as the fine act
ing of The gifted lady deserved The play
is one OF thrilling, interest, and just calcu-
lated 10 draw out the wondrous artistic
newers of Miss Hosmer. Every act and
scene possesses peculiar and varied inter-
est As the ACTRESS of Padua" last night,
she more than indicated her great fame
and deep hold she has upon the public.
She has won laurels here that cannot fade
or yither. but will be fresh and green IN
the minds of those who have witnessed her
great representations long as high tragedy
has an admirer, or supurb and noble
woman a place in the affections fthe people.
Miss Hosmer is stn actress of the hrst order.
Her lofty and intrepid bearing, her i'm
passioned fervor, clear enunciation and adj
mirable gesticulation stamp her as an ac-
tress, q theatrical star of the first magni-
tude, with few equals and no superiors In
her hissrionic role that we have seen. The
people of Nashville have missed rare en-
tertainment by absenting themselves from
the theater during her present engage
ment. The entire company took part last
night, and all performed well. Miss Nellie
johnson as Catharine, and little Kate Gil
bert as Dabne, and Mr.. Britton more par
tic1larly. the latter as Rodolfo. In the after
piece Virgins, Miss Richmond and Dalton
kept the house in roar. There is another
attractive bill for to right.

Model PrOcIamatiOns.

In his proclamation designating thanks
giving day, which is very short, Gov.
Baker, of Indiana, quoted the following:
1T is a good thing to give thanks unto
the Lord, and to sing praises to Thy name,
o Most High Let the people praise
Thee, o God; let all the people praise
Thee. Then shall the earth yield her
increase; and God, even our God, shall
bless US. Enter into His gates with
thanksgiving, and into His courts with
praise; be thankful unto Him, and bless
His name
The thanksgiving proclamation of Gov.
McClurg, of Missouri, is quite a model Of
preiseworthy brevity. His Excellency con-
tents himself with couple of texts of
Scripture, viz: 1.-The Lord taketh pleasure
in them that fear Him in those that hope
in His mercy" Z" He maketh peace in thy
borders and filleth thee with the finest of
wheat" Then the people are recommended
to praise the name of the Lord both in
family circles and public places. The
Governor signs this, the Secretary Of State
countersigns it, and there is the neat little
document complete! This, as the New
York Tribune remarks, is unquestionably
al improvement upon those long-winded
proclamations in which the people were
enjoined to thank Heaven first for corn,
and then for potatoes, then for the usual
exemption from cholera, and then for mat
tiers and things in general.

There will be divine services to-day at
the several churches Thanksgiving SER
mon will be preached at the First Presby-
terrain Church by the Pastor, Mr.. Moore,
and DR.. Young will preach at the McKen-
dree Church. Rev Mr. Inman will preach
at the Elm Street Church, while the regIl-
lar pastors will hold service at most of the
other churches. The discourses will be
learned and able, replete with the gather
ings of experience, talent and scriptural
research. If the remark of that discrim
mating essayist, Hazlitt, be true, that the
tone and morals of a city may be inferred
bv her churches and her ministry, then
Nashville viii justly rank high in her conf
parison with other places, for no other city
in all the land can boast Of better churches,
ADLER ministers, or more enlightened con-
gregations than ours The several churches
will no doubt be well and profitabiy at

Shoot,upoud Cu,,,uq Affair.

A short time after II o'clock last night,
difficulty occurred between Ed Davidson
and Charley Gentry, both colored, at
house on College street, opposite Hills

at the house to celebrate the marriage Of
Isaac Shields, a colored man, where quar-
rel between the two above mentioned took
place. During the alteration, Gentry as
saulted Davidson with razor, infiicting a
terrible wound, the cash extending from
the left year to the chm. After cutting him
in this manner Gentry drew his pistol and
fired at his antagonist, the bali taking effect
Just below the right ear, and coming ont

We hear Of a number of hunting excur-
sions made up for to-day. The forests ad-
iacent to the city will resound with the
sharp crack of the rife. the rafting ring OF
the shot gun, and the music of dogs with
their game at bay. Squirrels, birds, snipe,
quails, and, perchance, the royal gobbler,
will be abundant in the city this evening
and tomorrow. The city will be emptied
of all the ''shootists" at an early hour.
They will go in different parties-some
across the river, some out beyond the hills,
and others down the railroads. We have
all, at one time or other in orr lives, en-
ioyed with high relish and old-fashioned

all enjoy themselves and return to the city

A CURIOUS illustration of the truth that
zone half the world do not know how the
other half live, may be found in the fact
that the favorite tragedienne, Miss Bate

largely interested as capitalist in silk
manufactures. She is part owner in one
OF the finest mills in New Jersey, employ
ing large number of workmen, and do

TO have given valued aid at time when

which were deservedly popular, not only
