The Pigeon shooting Match.

The pigeon shooting match, which took
place yesterday at the Nashville Course,
between George Campbell, of Maury coun-
ty, and Andy Meadors, of this city, for
500 a side, created considerable interest.
But for the heavy rain which fell about 2
o'clock, the attendance would have been
much larger. By the rules governing the
shooting, each contestant was allowed
twenty-five birds. 1t was also agreed that
each party should shoot alternately ten
rounds, and afterwards five times each.
Meadors led off, lost the first bird, but
bagged during the round eight birds.
Campbell followed and brought in the en-
tire number, ten birds, beating Meadors
two on the first round. Meadors came to
the scratch in good condition, and captured
every bird on the second round. Camp
bell only bagged eight on the round. The
contestants we're now even, each having
five birds apiece in the trap. Meadors
again came into position, and opened his
Napoleon on the enemy, and took in five
birds. Campbell now had to clear the trap
in order to come out even-which, how
ever, he failed to do, only killing three
out of the five. The scoring was as fol-

Lost son-Agonizing suspense,

On Thursday, the 9TH of July, Morris
Noah, young son of our fellow-citizen
Nathan Noah, residing at No. North Col
lege street, left his home and has not since
been heard from. The youth is fifteen
years and three months old, and five feet,
two inches high and SHINY built. He has
a rather dark, healthful complexion, bright
dark eyes and dark hair. He has a pecu-
liar mark on hisleft thumb, an excrescence
caused by cut. He is a sprightly and
manly youth and his parents are in deep
grief at his absence. They have searched
everywhere, and written and telegraphed
to al points where he has relatives, but
can hear nothing of him. They fear he
may have been foully dealt with or come
to some sudden misfortune. Any informa-
ton concerning him will be most thank
fully received by his heart-stricken parents
of this city.

Masonic Orphans, Home.

Townsend A. Thomas, Past Grand Master
and Special Deputy of the Grand Master of
Tennessee, has been visiting the Lodges in
West Tennessee soliciting the endowment
fund for the Masonic Orphans Home. We
understand that there are to be for this
Home three locations-one in each of the
grand divisions of the Stste-to be located
on 1000 to 1900 acres of rich land, upon
which are to be erected school house and
church, and upon the farm a sufficient
amount of the land is to be laid off in
avenues, and divided into two-acre lots,
upon which are to be erected cottage
homes, one of which is to be set apart for
each Masonic widow and her children, and
they supplied with food and raiment, and
the children educated, The boys are to
cultivate the farm by detail of two hours
work daily while being educated, thus max
ing the farm supply the necessaries of life,
as far as practicable, andthe interest on the
endowment supplying the deficiency, thus
making one of the grandest enterprises of
the age. The nearness of the location of
the homes makes it entirely practicable for
the social relations of life to be maintained
and happiness and usefulness given to all.
We learn from the papers of that section
of the State that through Mr.. Townsend,
forty-six Lodges in West Tennessee have
subscribed the sum of $54, 450 to the en-
dowment. With similar liberal responses
from other sections, the entire endowment
will be readily secured and the Masonic
Orphans Home placed upon permanent
basis of usefulness and prosperity.

CITY NOTICES.
stop the sIanaer.

We have just learned that report has
been circulated in Wilson, and perhaps in
Bedford county, to the effect that Capt. NJ.
w. Mcknight, who is now a candidate for
Attorney General in this, the Seventh Ju-
dlclai Circuit, was conscripted before he
would go into the Confederate army, and
that he would not fight after he got there,
and was teaching school while others were
fighting, etc. Now we, the undersigned,
do certify that said report, and all such,
are absolutely false. Capt. Mcknight en-
listed in Capt. Allison's company in May,
1861; was mustered into the service in
June, 1861, as private; served as a priv~
ate twelve months, and was unanimously
elected CAPTAIN, which position he held
until the close of the war, commanding as
senior CAPTAIN the I'd Tennessee Cavalry
good portion of the time; was with Gen.
Forrest in all his battles in Mississippi,
Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabama, except
when wounded; was as good and brave
soldier and officer as belonged to Gen.
Forests command; was twice badly
wounded, and we all thought MORALLY.
We served under Capt Mcknight and
know the above facts to be true, as every
man in his company or in the I'd Tennessee
Cavalry will testify, and they are referred
to. We have not seen or heard from Capt
Mcknight since we heard of the SANDER
circulated against him, and we make this
statement without his knowledge, and hope
it will put stop to the tongue of the foul
slanderer. We cannot see how such un-
founded reports could be circulated.
