RAPID RISE IN \ cow.
Extraordinary Bovrne El'ssory.
Animal sold sor s3L AND e5I XSes
turned.
Who Is the Thief

Nearly two weeks ago, lady who lives
out west of the city had the misfortune to
lose valuable COW. The cow was eccus-
toned to Craze on the commons, but not
coming home as usual, on the Sunday and
Monday following, the owner of the COW
went in search of her. She failed to ind
the COW, but rumor reached her ears that
some negro boys had been seen leading to
the city an animal that answered to the
description Of her She accordingly went
to the stock yard, found nom the
hide, head, and marks that it was indeed
her missing COW, and pursuing herinvestlga-
lions. discovered that the animal In question
had been sold by gentleman for S34 by
an individual who resides in the same sec
| ton of country with herself. Upon gong
to this neighbor about it, he gave her Sol,
| which was the sum she had paid for the
| COW: which, had she had choice IN the mat
ter she would not have parted with at any
price. mn
Now this matter sums up badly. The
| individual mentioned, without previous
purchase. sells the COW for less than it,
market value. Upon the transaction be
ing traced out by the lady, aided by tina
efficient officer. Mr.. Ambrose, the lndl
yidual pays her S51, which though 81
more than he received for the COW is ye
less than the lady would have taken for tn
living COW. 1t being posthumous sale
however, she has only Hobson's choice
| that or nothing.

The sad intelligence reached this city
Yesterday, Of the death of our highly es-
t-emed citizen James Mcclellan, son of
John Mcclellan, of Edgefeld. He died in
Jacksonville, Fla, whittier be had gone
some weeks since, with the hope that a
change of climate would improve his
health. When last heard from he wrote
hopefully of his condition, and his family
had some reason to believe that he would
soon be able to return home restored In
health. But it was not SO decreed, and in
a strange land, and among strangers he
breatEed his last, unexpectedly TO kind
friends and loving ones at home. We SYM
pathize and condole with the family in this
their sad bereavement

The officers of the Nashville and Chatta-

effort to get forward the great abundance
of freight now waiting shipment South by
their line. and hope soon to be relieved of
the present remarkably heavy freight
blockade" Some forty cars were yester-
day filled, mainly with grain, and are now
rapidly vending their way to distant mar
kets. IT is hoped that interested parties
will soon be able TO speak of the freight
blockade that 7cas, aid have less occasion
TO complain Of one that is. Active meas
ures for that much desired consummation
are now being taken.

Another ,Urue Man Gonc!

We regret to announce that James W.
McClelland died March 3, 1870, at Jackson
vile, Florida. The deceased was the only
son Of MIR. John McClelland, late Assessor
of internal Revenue, and was Master Me-
chanic on the Edgefeld & Kentucky Rail-
road. As an evidence Of the high appre-
citation entertained for him by the Com
pany, his regular salary was continued,
notwithstanding his sickness and absence.
NIr. McClelland was in the South during
the war, and there contracted cOnsUmp-
ton, the dreadful disease which has finally
taken him away Some weeks since he
went to Florida, hoping against hope, for
restoration, and there, as nearly all in his
condition have done, he breathed ont his
life in the midst of the orange groves and
the beautiful blossoms of the tropical
Spring.
His remains will reach the city in few
DAYS, and will be buried bv the Knights
Templar, of whose Commandery he was a
member.
We tender to his bereaved father, mother
and devoted sisters our sincere sympathy
and coincidence in this the hour of gloom
and grief.

a Pleasant ViIIare.

There are many charming locations for a
home in the vicinity of Nashville and
Edgefeld, but among them we have seen
none that more pleasingly blends the adj
vantages of both town and country, than
the little village of Goodlettsville. 1t is
best with fertile soil, sensible and refined
society, pure air, an excellent sulphur
spring, church and school privileges, is a
depot Of the Edgefeld and Kentucky Rail
road, and but two miles from its junction
with the Louisville and Nashville road.
Taken altogether, we have seen few places
more desirable for permanent residence,
or more agreeable for temporary sojourn
than GoodlettSville.
