ALaudabIe Undertaking.

EDITORS LEDGER: The effort now
making by our fellow citizen, General
Wallace, to form an Agricultural, Eihi-
cal and Classical Institution at that beau
tiful situation, Raleigh, in our county
(Shelby), is one that should receive the
earnest support of each and ell of our
community, as we feel assured that
nothing tends more to the advancement
of people, than due consideration of
their educational interests. The appli-
cation of the theories of agriculture
and mechanics to the scholastic is a
happy conception, and the practical
adoption Of those valuable aids TO life
struggle in the routine of the rudimeutal,
will be found to furnish the most material
food for mans true progression. TIE
noblest and best men of all ages have
loved the pillow, loom and anvil, and
from Cincinnatus to the gallant plow-
boys of the Revolution, heroes and states
men, poets and divines, have ell felt the
stimulous of physical labor. Ia Prus-
sa a nobleman's SONS must serve an ap.
premiership in grooming and field labor,
Ia China the Emperor and Empress once
each year visit the tea fields and devote
one day to setting an example of honest
industry, and in all countries, since
time immemorial, the dignity Of
labor has been acknowledged by
the wise, great and good labor is
the spirit of life, and, tempered with the
letter of books, does more to eunoble our
youth than any other element that de-
velops intelligence in the educational
circles Of our country. 1t 10 shown that
of fifteen hundred prisoners confined for
q variety of misdemeanors in the Phila.
delphia prison, there was one mechanic.
Work is healthful; il is the base of vir-
tue, and all society should aid in foster
ing that powerful auxiliary to educational
advancement--the labor Of the work
bench and the honest struggle of the
sturdy tiller of the soil.
General Wallace, in his desire to build
up an Agricultural College in connection
with the regular course, should meet our
energies in advance of his intentions,
and let mutual spirit prompt us to give
to Shelby county an organization that
will add luster to the name of teacher in
our county.
The character of the school will be in
dustrial; yet corps of such teachers
will be employed as will render the de-
partments in study and industry worthy
Of the consideration of the best cultivated
minds. A high order of morals in
teacher and pupil will be aimed at, and
if such can be obtained, the object in
view of the originator will be happily &C.
complished. Suitable buildings for dor
mitory aud scholastic purposes will be
established, and ample grounds for imi
tative horticultural and agricultural ef-
forts will be acquired; and complete
organization, 80 Mr.. Wallace assures us,
will soon be auf fat dccomph.

Reform IN the Hsbreu remnIe.

The liberal and progressive cougrega-
ton Children Of Israel" have, with the
advice of their rabbi, Rev. s. Tuska, in.
troduced another practical reform rela-
ting to their divine service. Hitherto it
has been customary in Israel to inaugu-
rate the Sabbath by holding services on
Friday evening at sunset; but as this was
a most inconvenient hour to all engaged
in secular pursuits, the above congrega-
ton have lately resolved to hold the Fri
day evening service hereafter uniformly
at half.psst seven o'clock. This change
takes effect this evening. The lectures
at the evening service will always De in
English.

FIRE IN cHnLsHA.
Two Residences Burned-Loss over
$4,000.

Yesterday morning, about quarter
past one o'clock, FIRE broke out in the
rear part of twostory frame tenement
house on Looney street, between Fifth
and Sixth streets, in Chelsea. The house
was occupied by Mr.. j. B. Perkins. The
family was soon aroused, and the FIRE
bells sounded the alarm. The neighbors
rallied to the scene, but the FIRE engines
did not reach the place. The roads
beyond the Nicolson pavement are in q
bad condition, and this probably was the
reason. Capt. Kehos repaired to the
scene aud rendered what assistance be
could.
The flames spread rapidly, and finally,
in half an hour after being discovered,
they communicated to another house Of
similar style across en.foot alley, oc-
cupied by Mr.. Thomas E. DAILY, and,
Notwithstanding the strenuous efforts Of
the neighborhood, both houses we're en-
tirely consumed. The furniture was
nearly all saved. Mr.. Perkins loss was
about $3.50; Mr.. Days, 800, and Mr..
Beuger's, owner of the property, about
$4,000.
The Chelsea people are included in the
corporation of Memphis, and pay taxes
accordingly. IL would be nothing but
right for them to have the protection
guaranteed TO other parts of the city.

The street cars will run in all direc-

The postoffice has been removed from

The attaches and majority of the peo-
pie are greatly pleased at the change.
A nolle prosequi was entered yestef-
day, in the Circuit Court, in the case of
R. II. Thompson and e. @. Pattisen, in
dicled as accessories to the murder Of

get up jury to-day to try the same
parties as accessories to the murder of
Nancy Dickens.
The five prisoners, Johnny R.gan, W.
q. Harrison, Alfred Wallace, Thomas s..
Burns and Ed Smith, arrested at Kum.
boldt and Milan few days since, on the

ODonnell and some Humboldt officials.
They were duly photographed and jailed.
Oae of them-Harrison--a man of gen.
tlemanly appearance, claims to oe q law

The communication signed r." in
yesterdays LEDGER, drew forth two sepa-
rate local paragraphs in the appeal, one
of which assumes that the whole "police
force" has been done an Injustice, when
really only single member was desig-
mated. We have good opinion of the
new force generally, and have made few
complaints; but when respectable and
responsible citizens have facts to state
that interest the public they always
find our columns open, and parties
thereby aggrieved have the privilege Of
making q denial in the same manner
and space. And when any one comes to
us to answer articles in the Appeal we
always refer them to the Appeal assu'
ring them that that journal, which never
yet made mistake, holds itself ready to
correct the first error that occurs in its
columns.

SHAMRoCKs.-Th " chosen leaf OF
bard and chief" don't spring spon-
taneously on the Bluff, and consequently
St. Patrick's Day cannot be celebrated
with the genuine article; but an excellent
substitute has been manufactured by the
orphans of St. Peters Asylum out Of
green silk and wire. The imitation Of
the triple leaf is very good, aud may be
worn in bpnches 10 the bgttonhols or
hatbaud most conveniently aud with
modest show. Let every Irishman have
a bunch on St. Patrick's Day; no emblem
could be more appropriate for the coca
sion. These shamrooks can be had at
Mansfsrd's bookstore, corner Second and
Monroe streets, and at the Orphan Asy-
lum, Henry avenue.
