| JUDGE MARTIN's charge to the Grand
Jury last Monday is said to haye' been
an able one. He was particularly Sc
we're end stringent on the nya,phs du
pare. The venerable Judge is greatly
| oyerworked, and there is strong de-
sire for Criminal Court to take off
some OF the burden.
OUR fellow,citizen, Major FRANZ, C.
DUNNINGToN, gave an elegant little par
ty Friday night in honor of his fair
niece from kentucky, who is now on
visit, to our city. On last Monday
night Col. L. d. MYERS also gave anoth-
er handsome entertainment in honor of
his charming relations from the Mag
noIia groves of Louisiana.
Ware glad to see that the City Coun-
Gil has ordered the Chairman of the
Street Committee to build a pavement
in front of the LIST Presbyterian Church.
| We trust this order embraces the entire
walk nom the ch urch to West Main
street, for we certainly do think that. it
needs repair. 1t is dangerous for pedes-
TRANS at nj ut, and not very pleasant
for horses. -, -..,.-

LAST Tuesday night, while Mr.. HEN
RY'CHoATE, who is a clerk for Mr. 4.
RosENTHAL, was sitting in the store,
his attention was arrested by noise be-
ing made in the back room. r On going
there he found a young 18th amend
ment named '.MACKEREL MANUEL "
who is young in years but old in the
dark and evil ways of the rogue. Mr..
CHoATE searched him, but found moth
ing on him. 1t would be well for our
vigilant police to keep an eye on the lit
tie thief. -
INour notice of the fire last weeks we
used the following words: ''The compa-
panies, Nos. 1 and 2, deserve great
praise for their promptness and efficien-
CIV, and they should be cherished and
sustained by our people" We learn
that the members of one of the above
named companies feel deeply hurt, be-
cause our praise was not more unstint-
ed, and threaten, i'll the event the HER
AND office takes fire, to keep their en-
CINE away, and not throw drop Of wa
ter. IQUERy-Docs the engine belong

THE Assistant Superintend ent of the
Nashville Il Decatur Railroad had hand
bills printed and circulated last week,
telling the people that an extra train
| would run to and from the Hurricane
Camp Meeting last Sunday. One train
ran from Nashville, and another from
Pulaski. These trains carried about
100 people, and wien they arrived at
the Camp Meeting there was already as
sembled vast congregation. Altogeth-
er there were about twenty-five humid
| red persons present, Hundreds of peo-
pie came without anything to eat, but
lwebelieve all were fed By the campers,
and the citizens from the country round
about, who came in carriages. Good
order prevailed throughout the day,
with the exception of whispering on the
outskirts of the congregation during DR..
GREENS sermon. a.-#
The Moonlight Picnic at the Driving
Park last week, was what the ladies
call, perfectly splendid" and the more
prosiac gentlemen denominate, "a great
success" 1t was fashionable moon,
and did not make her appearance unit
late. When she did she found the young
people waiting for her. Queen Luna
was jealous because there were ladies
along, and became SO Louisville-like
in her hospitality, that the air became
chilly, and the stumps had to be set
! on fir I, in order to keep the ladies warm.
The j. Yin g stumps, however, failed to
furnish sufficient caloric, and cham
payne was handed around in cop.ous
quantities. One fair damsel, with
peach-co .Ored cheeks, drank toast,
ITO the Man in the Moon," which
"brOu u down the house, but failed
so elicit a response from the hattered
gentleman himself Ice cream direct
from Louisville was also disposed of, and
after another drive around the park, the
gay party turned their horses heads to-
wards Columbia.
\ CHURCH that relies solely upon the
unaidedehorts Of its pastor for the con-
version ofsinners and the prosperity of
| the church, will not prosper. He must
| have the combined and earnest assis-
tanco of his members, in preaching,
working and praying. There is no
preacher of the gospel within our knowl-
| edge who is more keenly alive to the
prosperity of his charge than Rev. j. NJ.
Z. OTIS, ofthis city. Ills sermons are
always interesting, and thoroughly Or
| thodoX, and are entertaining and char
acteristic. He has introduced new
feature i'll his church recently. On the
first Sunday night in every month one
OF his elders delivers a lecture ON the
missionary work in Ger tain portions OF
the world. Last Sabbath night Dir. J.
NJ. FOWLER delivered a lecture on
France. Like everything that emanates
from the scholarly Doctor, it was chaste
elegant and beautiful. His treatment
