ED" CHICKEN CHoLERA.-A friend
infogms us that he has discovered re-
liable cure for chicken cholera, which is
simply to feed them fat bacon chopped
in pieces about the size of grain of corn.
His chickens had been dying of very
fast, and from the time he first admins
tered the remedy he has not lost a single
chicken. He is satisfied that it is also a
preventive, and that if the fowls were
fed bacon two or three times q week
they would not be subject to this pre-
yailing disease. Farmers and others
whose chickens are dying off by hun
dreds, should give this simple remedy a
trial.

SToNEwALL JACKsoN'S SUNDAY SCHOOL.
A visitor will be struck on Sunday
afternoon, at the crowd of negro boys
and Girls who may be seen vending
their way to the Presbyterian church,
the largest and most influential in the
town. Ifhe will 90 in, he will see SUI
perintending a colored Sunday School
Col. j. T. Preston, professor i'll the Viz
ginia Military Institute, and one OF our
most prominent citizens, and will find
teaching in the school others of the pro
fessors in the institute and college, a
number of students, and some of the
most accomplished young ladies Of the
town. If he asks about the school he
will be told, This is Stonewall Jack
sons old school" The facts are that
this colored Sunday School was organ
lied by Stsnewall Jackson when he was
quiet professor in the Virginia Militia
ry Institute, that he took the deepest
interest in its success (never going to 1t
or from it without earnest secret pray
er, and that when called into the army
he expressed himself more 10th to leave
his colored Sunday school than any of
his other public duties. His deep in
terest continued to the day of his death,
and he was never known to write let
ter to Lexington without making spe-
cial inquiry after his colored Sunday
School.

THE RACES.
commencement of the Spring Meet


commencement OF the Spring Meet
To-day is the Inauguration OF the
spring races over the Nashville course for
1871, and the event will be one long to
be remembered in the annals of the turf.
The occasion is most suspicious, and all
indications are to the effect that 1t will
be one of the most successful and bril-
liant ones ever had in this region. Ex-
tensive and elegant improvements have
been made in the track, the stand and
the grounds, which make it now one OF
the best race courses in the United States.
The Nashville Blood Horse Association,
ever alive to the interests of tlne STOCK
and the turf, with that commendable en-
ergy and liberality that has always char
&C :erized them, have spared neither pains
nor expense to make the spring meeting
every way a pleasant and a successful
one. and we have no doubt from pres
ent foreshadowings that the season VIII
come I'D to the highest expectations.
Already are the hotels crowded, and 9TH
ers continue to arrive. Some Of the most
noted horses in the land, which have won
laurels at other places, are here to try
their bottom and meltle over our course.
The races will be largely attended and
will be of the highest general interest.
Every comfort, convenience, etc., tina. is
needful has been provided at the track
for both ladies and gentlemen, who will
avail themselves of the opportunity to
witness tie competing and exciting
sports of the turf. The Association de
serve all praise for the high standard OF
merit to which the Nashville course has
been elevated.
The pool selling last night drew large
crowd, and considerable amount OF
money changed hands. 10 the first race
Bufofd's Salina was the favorite, Harding
second, Warwick third, Zeb Ward fourth,
Ffanklin's fifth, and Macy and Cockril
selling together last.
The second race, dash OF two miles,
closed with the following entries: r.
K. Greenfeld's Mollie James, A. Turner!
Ella jackson, A. Cheatham's B 'quet, and
r. B. Cheatham's Night Hawk.
In the third race there is only one en-

R1ind TOIn

This musical prodigy appeared last
night at Masonic Hall before an appre,
cistive audience, and entertained his
hearers with a variety of musical per-
formances. His moonlight sonata from
Beethoven, and his Battle of Manassas,
were gems in their way, and his imits-
ton of the Scotch 3agpipe was an almost
faultless representation. Though suffer
ing with quite a severe cold, he sang a
Characteristic plantation song, entitled
"Welcome Day." also 'Little Johnny
and cine Old Sexton" Blind Tom also
played q composition by Gottschalk,
called "Eolian Murmurs," and at one
time during the performance he played
three pieces simultaneously. His Battle
of Manassas was piece of his own com
position, and was vociferously cheered,
An entirely new programme will bt
given TO night, when there will doubtless
be full house.

mcKENDREE CHURCH ON SUM-
DAY.

San6ay-schOOl, Preaching, etc
The McKendrse Sunday school was out
in full force last Sabbath morning, with q
poodly number of visiting friends from
other points, among whom we noticed DR.
- Bledsoe, of Baltimore, editor of the
Reviea0. and a great friend of children
and Sunday schools. The school closed
at $50, when the church was opened for
the congregation, which came in till
nearly II, filling every available inch of
space, aud making one of the largest
audiences we have ever seen in Nashville.
Bishop Marvin preached about one
hour from Luke xiii. 81, %. He passed
Immediately into the analysis and pre-
septatiOn of his subject, securing and
retaining the most marked and interested
attention of bis audience throughout. His
exposition was able aas rational, clear
ard practical, and made profound i'm
preston in favor of genuine, experimental
religion, embracing complete self abnega-
tion. and an entire conservation to the
cone thing needful" We seldom ever
heard a more lucid or forcible Representa-
ton of the subject and we doubt not his
sermon viii do LISTING good. We viii moi
attempt q portrait of the Bishop, nor an
analysis of his style, merely stating bis
preaching will always be acceptable and
profitable.
