Dr.. Sdmps0n's Lecture.--lt gives us
pleasure to make mention of the lecture
delivered last night by DR.. Sampson in the
Baptist church. We were pleased to see
so many of our citizens out. The lecture
was listened to with marked attention by
both old and young. His description was
pleasant and instructive. The opening was
a description of the length and breadth of
Palestine-sits mountains, rocks, rivers,
lakes, animals, cattle, inhabitants, customs,
and products. He gave an account of the
water, which delighted the boys, as the
Doctor gave them some good instructions
in swimming, and urged them to try the
lesson the next time they went in bathing.
The most interesting part of the lecture
was the explanation Of the expression in
the bible Of the 'sland of milk and honey"
The entertainment was closed by an exhi-
bition and explanation Of the garments
spoken of in the bible. The garment, or
loose shirt, was of singular cut; the girdle,
sandels worn by the Turks and Jews in
the days Of John the Baptist, Were of novel
character. Tonight, the doctor will lee
ture on "Jeruselam," and exhibit the char
acter Of robes worn by the Lord Jesus,
with many other things which will be of
great interest to the bible reader.
Seiemg Mochiaes.-We had always been
taught to think that the best and most bea.l-
tiful sewing machine, was the one which we
had been accustomed to seeing in boy-hood
days dressed in a neat calico, with rosy
cheeks and laughing eyes. We were guilty
once Of the absurdity of falling in love with
such a machine, and would have taken it
home with us but for an objection raised by
the old folks, who had Something to do
with the moving Of the machine from the
home of its birth. Our mind has UNDER
gone change.
Harding has on exhibition and for sale
the Howe sewing-machine, which, while it
may not be altogether so handsome as the
one above mentioned, still is very beauti-
ful, and with little assistance will OUT
work the blushing damsel, and at much
less expense. Call and see this wonderful
exhibition on the corner of Ninth and Hull
streets, Manchester.
at regular meeting of Stuart Lodge,
No. 141, |. o. o. F., the following officers
were installed: N. G., Mr.. L. Davidson !;
V. g., John S. Owens secretary, Joseph
Il. Walden treasurer, Michael Slime. A
committee oil arrangements were appointed
to make arrangements to celebrate the first
anniversary of Stuart Lodge on the I'd of
August. High View has been selected as
the place. We have been informed that
Grand Sire Stuart is expected to be with
tae Lodge on that day. Stuart Lodge can
do things right, and if all is in good trim on
that day, we may expect a grand time.
,Supper.-We are informed that great
preparations are being made by Manches-
ter Council, Friends of Temperance, for a
supper next Tuesday night. We hope a
good time will be had. The Richmond
Lodges are to be invited.
The lille son of Mr.. Atkinson, who had

10 the City Councit--Are The Pasemen,ts
Of Richmond for the Use Of the Citizens or
for Vehacies ?-Citizens have rights as well
as baby-carriages. Being one Of the first,
and the avowed enemy of the latter as at
present controlled, we ask the City Council
If there is not already a law, to make one
as early as possible, to govern the running
of these trains, so as to prevent the Grip
pling of somebody's baby, or the thrashing
Of some mpudent nurse, at cost of ten or
twenty dollars to the one who does it. 4
People cannot and will not submit to be-
ing driven from the pavement by these ra-
pidly increasing nrlisances, and then abused
by impudent negroes and white women, be-
cause they didn't break their necks to hur-
ry out of the way. They are complained
of every day by citizens who have other
matters to attend to besides zig-zagging
along our streets to get out of their way.
If one asks to be spared the pains of hurry
ing from their front, he or she is assailed by
abuse from the nurses, which must be sub
mitted to, or a choice Of being dragged be-
fore Justice White.
We beg the City Council to pass law
confining these carriages to one side or the
other of the pavement, or to the middle, if
preferred, or the whole of it if necessary !;
but let the people k,aoao that carriages hare
rights which they are bound to respect.
Not satisfied with part of the sidewalk,
they are frequently seen three and four
abreast, occupying the whole of it, much to
the disgust of everybody who are thereby
driven into the streets.
We propose, if nothing else will do, that
every business man in the city buy one of
these nuisances, Gt is not necessary to have
the baby in IT'D and push it along the pave
ment ahead of him. He will then be shown
some respect by the others, and everybody
be compelled to give him the pavement.
We predict that unless this provoking niii-
sance is not abated, that somebody's
darling is going to get hurt, not intention
ally, but in the following manner: Some
body's shin will get bruised, or their toes
mashed, by being run over or against by
one of them, when they will attempt to ex-
postulate with the lady conductor, where
upon somebody will get such an abuse, as
will induce somebody to administer we'll
deserved thrashing to the aforesaid con-
ductor. While the sbirmish is going on,
the little darling in the carriage may be up
set, trampled upon, and crippled for life.
To mothers, who love their little inno-
cents, we would appeal in time to save them
from anxiety, and warn them that their
carriages and nurses are growing more
rapidly in numbers and impudencc than our
city limits will stand, and they had better
come together, if necessary, and regulate
their running and conduct, or somebody
will get hurt, then somebody will say some-
body else was cruel wretch.
When class of colored people, like
many we meet every day in the city, learn
to respect the rights of the public and its
citizens, they may then claim that theirs
shall be respected; but until they learn
this important lesson, we are not surprised
that white people feel unkindly towards
many of them.

TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT -
The passenger train on the Nashville and
Northwestern railroad, which left Nashville
on the Sd instant, met with an accident at
Harpelle river, about four miles from that
city. After the locomotive and baggage
car had crossed the bridge over the river,
the bridge gave way, and the remainder fell
into the stream. Fifteen persons, as far as
is known at present, were killed, and twen-
ty-three wounded. The killed are John
Marshall, Nashville; John Hamburger,
Clarksville; Charles Campbell, wife and
child, Edgeield; Mrs. William Yeatman
and Mrs. Thomas Dunn, of Kingston
Springs; Mr.. Pendergast and Mr.. Wright,
of White Bluff; j. G. Brackett and brother
William, and Wiley Howard, Of Marshall
county. M
None of the wounded were mortally
hurt. The dead and wounded were carried
to Nashville. The accident was the result
of the weakness Of the bridge. The train
was running slowly.

DRY EARTH FOR BEDDING. .--R. Gid
dings, of Illinois, saves the manure, and
adds to the comfort of his stock by using
dry earth in the stables. To do this he fills
a stall or large bin in his stable during dry
weather, with pulverized clay, road scrap
ings, or common soil. With this he covers
the floor of each stall three inches deep, and
then places the litter for the animals' bed
ding on it; by this means all the urine will
be absorbed, and its wealth of nitrogen
saved, and such is the absorbing power Of
dried earth, that one three inch flooring will
not be SO thoroughly saturated in a long time
as to require replacing. lie says his ex-
pertinent required but one bin of pulyerized
earth to absorb the urine Of ten or twelve
cattle during the stabling season; and that
two men with team filed the bin in one
day. One ton of the saturated earth is
worth more than the same weight of even
fresh-saved dung. The aggregate amount
of plant food thus saved from the stalls is
fully double, and in much better condition
for use.

ss Hon. JAMES II. PLATT, JR.-Our
honored representative in Congress arrived
in this city by the Petersburg train on
Monday evening, to pass the national holi-
day with his friends in this city. We un-
derstand that he was in Washington last
week, using his influence to procure work
for the navy-yard. We are fortunate in
being represented by an earnest, active
worker for the interest of this district.
All classes of our citizens seem to have the
watchful eye of Colonel Platt for their adj
debted to him for the protection on pota-
toes, which has resulted in keeping the
Bermuda potatoes out of the market this
year, and advanced the price Of those of our
own growing. We take pleasure in well
coming him to our city, and hope his efforts
in behalf of work for the yard may prove
successful l.-NorfoM Day Book.

Nan and Horse D,'oacned at Rocketts.- =
About six O'Clock yesterday afternoon, a
worthy and Industrious colored man, who
has been employed for anumber of years by
Robert Kerse, ESQ.,, drove horse attached
to cart into the edge of the river, near the
sugar refinery, to water him. The horse
took fright and suddenly plunged into the
channel of the river, where he was drown-
ed. The colored man attempted to save
the horse by jumping on his back but be-
coming entangled in the harness, or by 9TH
er means, he, too, was drowned. At the
time of writing this, neither the body of
man OF horse has been found. He was a
great favorite with all who knew him,
standing high as a man of worth and mtegri-
ty. His sudden death is deplored by none
more than by Mr.. Kerse, who knew him
well, and to whom he was invaluable. We
have been unable to learn the name of the
drowned man. "

MORE ABOUT JEFF. DAvIs.-Demo-
cratic journals are stoutly ayerring that
jeff. Davis, in his mad talk throughout the
South, speaks only for himself, and repre-
sents no extensive Southern sentiment.
The oyations given him, and the applause
which greeted his remarks tell different
story-besides, here is what a prominent
Southerner, writing to the Chattanooga
Times, says about it:
1--WE of the South cannot allow ourselves 10 be
Iectured by any one who Is unable to conceive,
even in the slightest degree, the feeling of deep
grief which fills the souls of those who have
fought for the right, and have been overpowered
by what they conscientiously and religiously be-
lieye TO be wrong. Jefferson Davis still has the
love and admiration, as well as the confidence OF
every true Southemer, and it will probably be
well for the Times In the future to bear this in
mind"

A Brutal Mother on adams Street.-
Some time ago we called attention to wo-
man in this city who has become notorious
for the cruel manner she whips her children,
and hoped our notice would attract suffi-
cient attention from her to correct her bru-
tai conduct. She is resident of Adams
street, between Leigh and jackson, and,
by her nhuman conduct, keeps the ncigh-
borhood constantly annoyed and excited.
Last night, while passing the neighborhood,
the groans and cries of her child, as she
tortured him, attracted the attention of
passers-by, until quite an excited crowd
gathered to listen to the appeals of the
scourged. All pleadings fell upon the
listless ears of the fiend, who new
er ceased her lashing until exhausted.
We call the attention of the police to this
woman and her conduct, and ask them to
interfere in behalf Of the little boy.

Sensible Bird. Near New Bridge, a
short distance below the city, live a family
who are the owners of a remarkably sensi-
BILE mocking bird. This bird will leave
home every morning, wandering through
the woods, but returns in the evening as
regularly as the night comes. 1t has nest
in the yard, in which are three or four
young ones, and il will allow the family to
feed ii and them from the hand. A short
distance off is school-house, and this bird
will fly into the room and perch itself on
the shoulders of the children, and remain
with them sometime. 1t is perfectly tame,
and is of course highly valued by the family
in which it claims to be part.

Far Play.-The Ecening Neacs, claiming
an admiration for wearing this bright jewel,
we are glad to see it shining so brightly in
the following from its yesterdays issue.
Its brightness could be made more brilliant
by the statement that neither Mr.. or Mrs.
Chahoon are in any way related or connect
ed with Mr.. Dana, of the New York San.
She is only an acquaintance, while he is a
stranger to Mr.. Dana. We make this
statement to correct the one heretofore
made, several times by the Meas, that Mrs.
Chahoon was relation of Mr.. Dana:
CHAHooNs CAsE.-In commenting a few days
since upon an editorial in the New York S,ni,
under this head, we intinated, in pretty strong
terms, that the writer was a relative or connec-
ton OF Chahoon.
! Now, we are rs fond of jewels as any lady in
the land, and amongst them we consider fair play
the most brilliant and much to be deserved, and
always wear it proudly upon onr bosom. In
that spirit, then, We will state, upon the author
ity of Andrew Washburn, ESQ., and Colonel ID.
b. Parker, that Chahoon is neither connection
nor relative of the writer of the article in ques-
tion, and that he has no acquaintance with him.
