The delegation from the Grand Lodge OF
Odd Fellows Of Tennessee to the Grand
Lodge of Kentucky, which left this city on
the early train Thursday morning, returned
from Bowling Green yesterday morning,
and are greatly delighted with their visit.
But for the rain and storm that prevailed on
Thursday, there would have been a much
larger delegation. They were met at the
depot by committee, and conducted to
the hotel in carriages. The delegation
visited the Grand Lodge during the morn
ing, and were introduced individually
with the rank Of each. The grand honors
were given and the Grand Master delivered
a welcoming address, and the visitors along
with delegation from Indiana, Ohio and Cali
fornia took seats on the stage. Resolutions
were adopted complimentary TO the distingu-
ished visitors, and in behalf Of Tennessee,
Grand Master 10. L. Weakley responded, set
ting forth the identity of views and feelings
cherished by the people of the respective
States, and only separated by an imaginary
line. He closed by hoping to have the
pleasure of reciprocating on his own soil
the kindness he and his associates had re-
ceived from the Grand Lodge of Kentucky.
Nathan Porter, Grand Representative of
California, in the Grand Lodge of the
United States, expressed his qualification at
being present to witness fraternal reunion
of three adjoining States, representing the
three symbolic links of Friendship, Love,
and Truth.
At night there was grand torch light
procession by the members of the Order,
which was one of the finest displays ever
made in that city, and afterwards a banquet
at Getly's Hall given by Eolian Lodge No.

The state Library.

Yesterday large number of visitors
were at the State Library, which, under its
efficient officer, Mrs. Haskell, has become a
favorite resort for many of our citizens.
Several new books and State exchanges
have been lately received, among which
latter we notice several volumes of the
Laws of Delaware and also of Michigan,
with the Acts of 1870 and the Senate
Journals of the above States; and, in con-
nection with the fact of Tennessee having
a lady Librarian, it must not be forgotten
that other States have set the example, and
if the selection has been as fortunate and
appropriate with them as with us, they GER
tainly have not reason to regret the pre-
cedent established. Mrs. NJ. X. Smith is
the State Librarian of Minnesota, Mrs
Ada North of Iowa, and Harriet A. Tenny
of Michigan, the latter of whom in her
report for the years 1869 and 1870, shows
the wisdom of her appointment by remark
ing that, ''By the advice of the Chief Ex-
ecutive of the State, and with the uIlGIli-
nous consent and appreciation of the Senate,
on the 31st day of March, 1869, this Libra
~ was placed in charge of a WOMAN"
From her report accompanying catalogue of
the Michigan Library, it will be seen that
the State ''wisely appropriated $500 to pur-
chase books for its Library, on which the
State has always had an insurance of s25,-
000." The Library contains, by the cata-
logue, thirty thousand volumes, being eleven
thousand more than is in our Library. From
a comparison, we think our State Library
will compare favorably with those of many
States, especially as regards the current le-
gal, historical and miscellaneous literature,
and classic works of poetry.

Chicago Grain Trade.

The Chicago Republican of the 18th inst. says
An increased movement was noticeable in the
grain markets to-day, and prices on the leading
articles recovered somewhat from the depression
Of yesterday. Advices from New York were
more encouraging, which partially aided in es-
tablishing the improvement gained. The de
mand to-day was about equally divided between
shippers and spectators, the former cOntenting
themselves with short and regular receipts Of
grain, while spectators invariably called for
strictly fresh receipts, which could be carried
into November without accruing any extra stor-
age. The engagements amounted to s., 600 BUSH
els wheat, 6S 600 do corn, and 900 do oats.
Provisions we're without important change.
The following is the amount of grain in store,

Attractive Art Gallery.

The establishment of our young friend
L. r. Freeman, on College street, is amon g
the most attractive in the city, and those
who have an eye for the beautiful in the
fine arts, can always find something there
to admire. He has recently brought out
the finest selection of ChromOs we have
ever seen exhibited in the city, which he is
offering at least fifty per cent less than the
customary prices for such goods. In add.
ton TO the elegant CromOs, he has large
assortment of other pictures and engrav-
ings. a life-like picture of King William
is among the latest purchases, and by those
who have seen the man, it is said to be fault
less in every respect. But no painting
is rendered so attractive as when inclosed
in a beautiful frame, such as can be seen in
the house of Mr.. Freeman, who is not only
q practical workman, but skilled and taste
FIJI in his business. He receives regularly
from all the prominent manufactures in
this country and the old World the most
improved designs in carved ornaments, and
keeping fully up with the times, is able 10
introduce here every new feature in pOr-
trait and mirror frames, and turning out At
their mandatory work in this line which
cannot be eXcelled anywhere. A visit to
their house will well repay those who would
see art and the beauties of mechanism
combined.

Educational.

The meeting at the Third District school
of J. T. Wright, Smiths Spring, yesterday
afternoon, called at the instance of the
Commissioners, was largely attended by the
children and patrons of the school and citi-
zens generally. Capt. DonelSOn, Superin-
tendent Of Public Instruction for Davidson
county, after few appropriate remarks as
to the object of the meeting, introduced to
the audience John FriZzell, Esq, member
of the Educational Board, who delivered an
address, which, for eloquence, beauty of eX-
preston and fitness of style, TO say nothing
of the instruction it conveyed, was model
Of thought and most happily conceived. He
tully explained the county school sys-
TEN, its public relations, defining its
duties both to the people of the district and
10 the county. also the duties of the various
oHlcers and commissioners. During the
delivery OF the address, which occupied an
hour, unusual attention was bestowed. and
Its reception by the audience was A inst
tribute to its merits and the efforts of Mr.
E'rizzell. We are informed that the School
Commissioners of the Third district. Messrs
Hartman, Cotton and Davis, have moved
efficient in their duties, and conducted tba
three white and one colored school in n
manner that is both commendable and sat
isfaClory 10 all interested. From present
indications, it seems that Capt. Donelson is
elevating the school system of this county
to a standard unexcelled by that Of any
State.

A RUNAWAY HORSE.
A Driver Snatehed from n Buggy by
: Two Drunken Men.

A Driver SBatehed from n buggy by
'Ht Two Drunken Men.
About 9 O'Clock last night as Morgan
Atkins, colored servant of DR.. V. S. Lind
sley, was driving his buggy up Cherry street
two men, apparently Intoxicated, rnshed
out from the corner of Church street oppo-
site the Maxwell House and stopping the
vehicle, first knocked the drivers hat of
and then jerked him out of the buggy on
the ground. The horse Immediately took
fright at this strange and rude behavior, and
the wheels running over one Of the men,
dashed at fearful speed down Cherry
street, which was lined with hacks in front
of the Maxwell House and never halted
until reaching the Postoffice build
ding opposite the Commercial Hotel
where his fight was stopped by the reins
having caught in the wheel and wound
around the hub. Much excitement was
caused along Cherry street as the horse
dashed madly by and all thought the buggy
would be smashed to pieces at every mo-
ment and the horse injured if not killed by
coming in contact with some of the vehicles.
Yet, strange to say, the buggy was I'M
injured, as was the harness; the animal
seemed at all times self-possessed, and
actually crossed the street two or three
times in order to avoid hacks and a street
car which was met near Union street. II
is fortunate that no injury was done.

Prize Candy Case I'm COurf

In the Supreme Court at Knoxville on
Wednesday last, decision was rendered by
Judge Sneed in prize candy case in which
the presentment was for unlawful gaming.
After reviewing the case at length, and the
law touching the same, the Judge decides
that the sale of prize candy is not gaming,
closing his opinion in the following words:
We are of the opinion that the present
ment in this case does not charge an offence
against the law. The judgment will be re-
versed and Arrested.
In regard to this opinion the Knoxville
Press and Herald remarks:
A great many Of our citizens Hre inter-
ested in this decision. We understand
there are about one hundred cases of this
kind pending in our Criminal Court, await
ing the case that was determined vest erday.
These cases, under the holding of the court,
will necessarily be dismissed at the cost of
the county. We hear Judge Sneed's opin-
ion very highly spoken of by members OF
the bar, and we believe the conclusions ar
rived at by the decision are unanimously
acquiesced in by the legal profession attend
ing the Supreme Court at this place.
