ness the marriage of his only daughter,

Forests on Fire.

We were informed yesterday, by gen.
tleman who returned to this city on Mon
day, from a trip over the Nashville and
Northwestern Railroad, that on Monday
evening, about five o'clock, a very extern
sive fire was in progress along the line Of
that railroad, about eight miles out from
this city, and that about one hundred acres
of forest had been burned. 1t is supposed
that the fire caught from the sparks of a
locomotive, as it seemed to have started
from the railroad track, and was advancing
away from it up the side of steep hill.
The trains were not, at the time we refer
to, incommoded in any manner, as the fire
had died out near the track.

regular order of business in the morning
hour. 1t extends the terms of the grant
for seven years, from the 1st of May,
1869; provided, that thirty miles be COM
pleted within eighteen months, and
thirty miles every year thereafter. The

stated that the length of road was orr.
ginslly $50 miles and nearly 200 miles
have already been completed and in run
ming order, the remainder under contract
and that the quantity of land required
will be about 1,0O0, 900 acres.
