SPRING WATER-It is said that there
has been discovered in a cellar in one of
the houses in Nebraska valuable spring,
with a large and unfailing supply of
water, to which several persons are in the
habit of rcsorting with pals, jugs, etc,
for the purpose of obtaining supply.
The effects of these supplies were such
that the attention of the authorities was
called to the matter, and upon ii legal in
vcstigation it appeared that there was, to
the people at large, hitherto unknown
spring, and that it was only TO get spring
water that so many people were in the
habit Of visiting that particular house at
so many different days and times, at least

striking it, but came down squarely upon

was thrown down upon the roof and
stunned. His injuries are believed to be
only slight. The car was but little dam.

patron of Bishop Bissell of this diocese,
having been his legal guardian after the
death of his father, when but nine years

stood almost in the relation of father an
honored minister of the church to which

SASH FASTENERS s,-Perhaps nothing in
itself so essential to man has submitted
him to so much insecurity, annoyance, in
convenience and discomfort as the sash
fasteners now in use, by the rattling,
dropping of sash and breaking of glass,
and the general sense of insecurity given
by their use But the Empire Sash Lock,
now being introduced in this town, bids
fair to do away with all these annoyances,
by com bining simplicity, durability, con-
venience and economy. It is just the
thing needed in every house.

The New Constitution.

As the new Constitution lately
framed is a new era in the history Of
the State, SO is the New Constitu-
ton" recently opened by our enter
prising fellow citizens, Messrs. Fin
ley & Moore, new era in the histo-
~ OF Pulaski. Under the head of the
New Constitution" they include the
! finest bar and cigar and tobacco store
ever opened in our city, an elegant
and commodious billiard hall, and a
splendid restaurant and boarding
house. The three institutions occu-
py the whole of the first floor and
the basement of Col. McKissack' s
new block, which is one of the largest
establishments in the city. They
opened last Monday under the most
fiattering auspices. Every one who
has patronized the bar is loud in his
praise of the decoctions set before
him, and, as one of the boarders at
the restaurant, we have no hesitancy
in prOnouucing the fare the best to be
had, and the general management of
the concern unexceptionable. It is
certainly a great convenience to bus
mess men who live at an inconVeni-
ent distance from the city, to be able
to call in at any hour and get their
meals prepared in the very bes: style,
and notice that many of our bus
mess men, are, by their patronage,
encouraging this branch of the New
Constitution" tits the biggest thing
ever started in Pulaski and something
that has long been needed. and we
hope to see it literally sustained. We
recommend to the travelling and tran
sient public, if they want a good CT
gar, pleasant drink, nice, quiet
game Of billiards or an elegant meal,
to call at the New Constitution"
and they will not be disappointed.

The Tennessee "ProgNamme. 81

The following are among the la
test sensational reports in regard to
- Essee, as teleglaphed to the
COurierJournal OF Tuesday,
Since sending the previous dispatch
it is learned that the programme
about Tennessee is this: 1t is not in
tended to set up any Provisional gov
ernment, or to interfere with the pre-
sent regime inst now, but bill is to
be prepared to secure a new registra-
ton Of the voters in accordance with
the present Constitution of the State,
and that after the registration is COM
pleted an election is to be held for a
Governor and Legislature, which,
when elected, are to take the place of
the present administration. The JUS
LITIGATION for this is said to be found
in the right Of Congress to secure to
each State republican form of gov
eminent; that the present one is IL
legal, and totally inadequate to pro-
tect tue people in their pursuit oflife
liberty and happiness.
A bill has been prepared to recon
slruct Tennessee on the Georgia plan,
and the proposition it is understood,
has the support of General Butler,
and most of the Congressional dele
CATION of that State. It is said in
some quarters that bill Of this char
acter is so extraordinary that it can
never pass the House; but the dispo-
sition evinced to-day to pass the
Georgia bill shows that opinion not
to be we'll founded. Ths PROPOSE
ton, however, that Congress can y J
terfere in State fully represented,
meets with warm comment.
The Banner says, "Let the people
of Tennessee possess their souls in
peace. Congress will never risk the
danger of that terrible reaction"
