A Husband Returns 90 his House and
Finds His wife ON the Floor . corpse.
Death by Burning.

A mysterious and heart-rending affair
occurred in the Third District of this coun-
ty on Thursday night last, at a house on
the Murfreesboro pike, about II miles
from this city, the particulars of which
were furnished us yesterday by gentleman
in the neighborhood. Jesse Bngg, we'll
known citizen, left his premises just
before dark to visit the store Of James Saw
age, in the neighborhood, where it was Gus
tomary for the citizens generally to congre-
gate early in the evening. On returning to
his home, between and 7 O'Clock, he found
his wife, whom he had left but short time
previous, stretched upon the floor a corpse,
with every part of her clothing burnt off
Mr.. Bugg had no children, and his wife was
left alone, and it is therefore matter ofcon-
lecture as to how the accident occurred, but
it is supposed that her clothing took fire
while standing in front of the fireplace, and
before she could even reach the door to
give the alarm she persisted by the flames
that surrounded her.
The unfortunate victim to this terrible
death was daughter of Capt. Richard
Savage who was a resident for many years
on North Market street in this city. She
was between rs and 80 years of age.

The Poor of Mem York as rendered
by the theatric troupe last night was one of
thrilling interest and fine execution. The
play itself is happily and naturally sugges-
tive of the higher and more elevated traits
and sentiments. Its rendition was forcible
and the portrayal by personation, of moral
and charitable conduct, was to say the least
commendable. The fire scene was che Of
much excitement and at one time the audi
ence seemed in doubt as to its character,
whether it was a true fire or only one of
those admirable scenic effects that some
times confuse by its perfected accomplish
ment and seeming reality. Though the at
tendance was not large we were glad to
see that its quality was of the first social
status, showing that at least portion Of
the refined and cultivated have an appreci-
alton of the beauties as displayed in artistic
grace and enchanting loneliness in the
Thespian Temple. Tonight We trust will
bring as large an audience as that Of last
evening was fashionable.

Catalogue of the state Library.

We have received from the Printers to the
State a catalogue to the State library,
which was ordered to be made by the Judges
of the Supreme Court, who are, with the
Governor of the State, constituted Board
of Commissioners to sUperintend and con-
troll the Library.
This catalogue, prepared by George S.
Blackie, NJ. D., is one of singular excellence
and merit, giving, first, the full name of
each work, its size, number of volumes, and
place and date of publication; also the whole
number of each book in the Library, and
the name of case and shelf in which it is
TO be found.
The second, or classified catalogue, gives
again the titles of the books in an ab5revi-
ated form, and displays the number and
character of the books on the various
branches of literature and science. The
classification is arranged with respect to the
subjects, and is so constructed that additions
may be made without making additional
heads. Books of miscellaneous character
are arranged either under the heads of pc
riodical literature or among the encyclpae-
dias.
By referring to this catalogue, so conve-
niently and admirably arranged, any book
iect readily referred to. Heretofore our
State Library has been a nuisance, rather
than an advantage to the people of the State.
If book were wanted, no one knew where
to find it, and the arrangement was so
miserable that it would take an apprentice
ship of many years to know what the Ii
brary contained. II was nothing but a
confused tumble, without order or system,
and serving no purpose but TO tantalize
those who resorted to it for information.
To Mrs. Haskell much is due for the
great Improvements that have been effected.
She has brought order out of chaos; trans
formed defornity into beauty aud made
the dusty and disagreeable room one where
tease, quiet and retirement may be found.
Our Library is now an honor to the State,
and the catalogue which has been SO well
prepared makes the lore that has been hidden
for generations available to the student.
There are according TO the catalogue 1888
volumes now on the shelves and some $50
more in the hands of the bOOkbinder. These
last are chiefly volumes of Magazines and
Reviews. A catalogue giving the subjects
in the leading Reviews should be prepared,
and then any article on any subject may be
turned to in few minutes. This list may
be bought of almost any publisher.
The typographical execution of the work
before us is excellent. 1t is printed on
white paper, in clear type, with fne dis
tnct impression. The names of the books
and authors are in capitals, which stand out
boldly. Altogether the work both in its
preparation and printing is model of ex-
cellence, and we are sure no better work
has been done at any time forthe State, than
that done by DR.. Blaekie and the Public
Printers.

Rnther serions AIIegntion.

1t seems that the streaks of good luck so
lavishly showered upon truly loyal indi-
vidtIal named NJ. Strohmier, in the matter
of procuring pay due to Tinker Dawes
scouts, etc, have here lately been entirely
Withdrawn to make room for oppressive
heaps of bad fortune. StrOhmier having
failed to give the required security for ap-
pearance to answer the charge of conspiring
with others to defraud the Government, he
was yesterday committed to jail by order Of
Deputy United States Marshal Wheat. In
his present circumscribed situation, Mr.. S.
will have abundant opportunity for delibe-
rate reflection on Noah Webster's memera-
bic observation, that "a patriot should nevtf
be so excessively loyal as to forget that hon
esty is the best policy"

The December No. of the Ladies' Pearl
is now out. 1t has great variety of choice
articles. The story of 'Lora Harden" will
run into next year. The truly pious nature
Of this story win give it high position in
religious literature. The story of 'The
Sisters" is exciting from the beginning, and
evinces that the author has breadth and
scope, with most felicitous pen.
The Pearl IS the survivor of eight literary
magazines which have lived and died in the
last four years in this city. The editor in
forms us that his offer of premiums has
called out many of the ablest pens, both in
the North and the South. The Pearl has
the largest city list ever attained by any
magazine in Nashville, but at the very low
price of one dollar, it ought to be doubled.

urday morning, and brisk Southwesterly
winds will continue tonight on the lower
Lakes with diminishing force, and Wester-
" winds, with partially cloudy and clearing

Its Dedication for the Use Of the
Freedman's Savings and Trust Conn.,

ATS Dedication Tor the Use Of the
Freedman's Savings and Trust Conn
paDy.
The above building, just completed, was
dedicated last night with appropriate eere-
monies. The colored band made music for
the occasion, and everything passed off
agreeably. The colored people of Nashville
showed their appreciation Of its Importance
by one of the largest attendances thas ever
assembled in hall in this city.
The hall which covers the whole of the
second story, was so crowded that third Of
those who went could not even obtain stand
ing room, and many could not gain admit
lance. The crowd was estimated at from
thousand to twelve hundred, consisting OF
both white and colored. The order preserved
was remarkable for such an immense audi
ence. During the evening several addresses
giving the history ofthe Trust Company and
other subjects of pleasant interest in con-
nection with the Freedman's Institution
were delivered, besides music, both instru-
mental and vocal. Altogether, the proceed
ings speak well for the colored folks, who
should avail themselves Of the means now
afforded them of becoming more frugal and
provident as to the future. Such an insti-
tuition, if managed by competent and relia-
BILE officers, will be of untold benefit to the
cOlored persons here.

down the cash and give the security as re-
quired by the terms of the lease. The gen.

be fully perfected by the first of the month

There is a man out of Wyoming who did
not want for woman's wit when forced to
do woman's work while his wife was on
the jury. He appealed to her to come home,
but she wasn't in any particular hurry, as
she would now find out how nice it was
to stay at home and mind the children,
while she was loafing around the court
house as he used to do" The man went home
and hired good looking cook, and sent his
wife word to be sure and not come home
until she wanted to on his account, but
as soon as the news reached her she bolted
Immediately, and is now one of the loudest
Opposers of female suffrage.

was constantly afraid of his health, and
imagined himself i'll of every epidemic that
was going. At length the cattle plague
broke out, and he persuaded himself that he
was i'll with the disease, and sent in haste
for the doctor, going over the symptoms of
which he had read in the papers, all of
which he fancied he had. 81 hope you don't
really feel So" said the NJ. D., "for there is
an order by the priyy Council that every
beast with these symptoms must be shot
