The New Hoggish Law.

Considerable talking was done yesterday
in reference to the effort of the City Coun-
Gil to squelch the hogs by passing law
denying them the right Of locOmotion
through the streets and alleys of the city.
Public opinion, so far as we have heard it
expressed, is not very friendly to this new
form of interference with the rights of pro-
perty, and there seems to be a very general
apprehension that this is but the COM
mencement of system on the part Of our
new City Council to unnecessarily abridge
the liberties of the people and the freedom
of their live stock. Those engaged in a
commendable effort to abate public nui-
sances, should avoid, as far as possible, the
viOlotion of any principle of sound Denoc-
racy, and especially that which regards as
sacred the property and personal rights Of
the citizen, whether he pays any taxes Oh
not.

Nashville Onera Honse.

There was a good audience at the Opera
House last night to witness the play of
Camille, which was rendered in the same
acceptable manner as ON Tuesday night,
the respective characters being well sustain
ed, and the performance proving exceeding
ly agreeable to all present.
The programme for tonight opens with
the very interesting and beautiful drama of
the "Orplan OF Geneva with Mr.. Grey as
Carwin and Mrs. Grey in the character of
Theresa, the entertainment closing with
"AusterlitZ, with the entire strength OF
the company. Both pieces belong to the
legitimate drama, and have been produced
in this city for years. Carwin, in the first
PLAY, was one Of Forests great characters
in days gone by,
Next week we are 10 nave the young
American actor, Mr.. c. Harry Franck, who
has been engaged for a week, and will pro-
duce the great historical sensation, entitled
"Demon of Fire" in which he will sustain
four characters. The piece abOunds with
thrilling tableaEx and beautiful scenery, and
is one of the most attractive of sensational!
dramas founded on history.

To the Editors Of the Union and American:
LEBANON, Nov. 9, lS7l.-Durinq this
week The society of Lebanon has been in
vaded, and two of our fairest young ladies'
carried away.
On the evening of the 7tb inst. Il. L.
Bentley, Esq, of the Union City (Tenn.)
bar, and Miss Alice NJ. Green, daughter Of
the late Gen. Thos. Green, of Texas, were
married at the residence of Hon. Nathan
Green, in this city.
w. T. Benaey, w. B. Ford, DR.. T. C.
Edwards and W. c. Caldwell, of Union
City, and A. w. Stocked, Of Nashville, at
tended Mr.. Bentley; and Miss Eliza Green,
Miss Ella Green, Miss Matilda Norman and
Miss Fannie Campbell, of Lebanon, and
Miss Mai Black, of Franklin, attended the
bride.
After the marriage ceremony, which was
performed by Rev. w. II. DarnalI in that
impressive manneIE for which he has be-
come famous, and the congratulations by
the many warm friends of the happy couple,
the happy guess senjoyed most elegant sup
per. The evening throughout was very
pleasant, and all present seemed fully to
enter into the joy of the occasion.
On yesterday evening Rev. w. ]. Darby,
of Evansville, Ind, and Miss Mary S. Ali
son, daughter of Dr. Il. p Allison, of this
place, were married. at the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church. The attendants were
Miss Madeleine Allison, Miss Matilda Nor
man, Miss Eugene Anderson, Miss Lily
Owen and Miss Lula PlUmmer, of Leba-
non, and Miss Tabitha Wherry, of Sumner
| county, and L. E. Baird, Esq, J. 3. Linds-
/ lev, Jr. and J. s. Allison, of Lebanon, W.
E. Dunnaway, of Nashville, Joe E. William
son, Esq, OF Evansville, and G.. B. Peters,
Esq, of Memphis. Rev. W. II. Darnall
married them.
Though the audience was large, profound
silence pervaded it during the solemn cere-
mony. Prof Buckouitz, of Greenwood
Seminary, was Organist on the occasion,
and seemed to catch an inspiration from the
beauty and grace of the bridal party, which
| enabled him to excel his usually brilliant
style. After the marriage the attendants,
with few of the friends of the family of the
bride, assembled at the residence of DR.. r.
| p. Allison, where the remainder of the
evening was most pleasantly passed. Mrs.
| AS supper was very elegant.
The party will not soon forget the pleas
Ure Of the evening, or the splendid manner
in which they were entertained. The young
ladies whose marriages we have mentioned,
have been lovely and useful in our society.
Their absence will be felt by many who
loved them. We ask for them in their new
| homes the faithful friendship and tender re-
gard that they have ever had bestowed upon
them here, and of which they are more than
worthy

THE Bethlehem (Penn.) Times says that
the oldest locomotive engineer in the United
States is Barney Butt, who now runs an
engine on the Lebanon branch Of the Read
ing Railroad. Barney was born in COnyng-
ham, Luzerne county, Pennsylvania, and
went on the Beaver Meadow Railroad about
the year 1885 or 1886, In 1887 he was run
ming an engine from Parryville to Wealth
erly, the planes being then in operation.
The cars were drawn up the planes by a
stationary engine, and were then drawn
into the Beaver Meadow mines by loco
motive engine. a good story Is told of Bar
ney's readiness in case Of an emergency.
One day his engine would not make steam
well, and he was likely to be Oyertaken by
a passenger train before he could reach the
turnout. Seeing good sized pOrker beside
the track, he jumped from his engine-the
train was moving very slOw-seized the pig,
cut his throat, and stuffed him into the fur
mace. The fat of the pic was better than
kindling wood, and in a very short time
Barney had steam up and was out of dan

One of our Merchants Locates I'm st
Louis,

In the st. Louis Times of the 9TH inst.
we find the following complimentary allu-
sion to one of our former well known bust
ness men, who has recently located in St.
Louis:
The history of Chicago approves the rea-
sOning that city requires enterprise aud
energy among its resident business men
more than the mere possession of wealth.
St. Louis has needed a moderate inter
change in this respect, but the rapid increase
in the representation of the former attri-
butes and Of many Of the best business men
of other cities is now as rapidly placing st.
Louis in the front rank. We learn with
pleasure that among those who have re-
moved 20 St. Louis is Maj. II. L. MasSen-
gale, formerly senior Of the house of Mas
sengale q Co., Nashville, Tenn, and now
connected with the highly responsible house
OF Marmaduke IL Brown, commission mer-
chants. Maj. MasSengale, with bis expert
ence and enterprise, may well be looked
upon as all accession Of value to our city
and its trade.

The following is an extract from letter
received by H. c. Hensley, Treasurer of

E. B. Sherman, Esq, Secretary Of the Chi
cago Relief Committee, 1. o. o. F., in &C
acknowledgement of the contributions sent by
the Order in this city to aid their distressed
brethren in Chicago:
"Your esteemed favor of the 18th inst.

bless you, brothers, for your generous con-
tributiOn. Our pen fails when We attempt
to express the emotions of our hearts. You

In order to make the dissemination of
gas light general throughout the city, and
also with the view of obviating the trouble
some necessity of frequent applications to the
City Council for appropriations to erect gas
posts, proposition has been submitted to
that body which if adopted, will authorize
lne erection of gas posts at regular intervals
along the streets where main gas pipes are
already down. Gentlemen who have given the
thaIter some attention state that should the
propoSltlon be adopted, the number of gas
posts 10 Ge put up according to the provisions
OF the Dill would not exceed Is or 20. The
bill has been passed by the Board of Alder

Common Council, and will be finally dis
posed of at the next meeting of the latter
named body.

efficient man to put it through in proper

the poisoning of Gen. Ketchum and others,
is to take place at Annapolis on the 4th of

transferred from Baltimore to the Jail at
Annapolis, where she will await her trial.

her Incarceration since the day of her
arrest, never leaving her night or day.
They occupy nicely furnished room situ-
ated over the apartments in which the
sheriff and his family reside, and which has
nothing in its appearance to indicate that it

outside the windows. Mrs. Wharton and
her daughter are allowed to supply them
selves from without with such necessaries
as they desire.

The Difference,

Those of our citizens who go to places of
public amusement can easily see the differ
ence, 50 far as our home interests are con-
cerned, between patrOnizing amusements
gotten up by our own people or a dramatic
company remaining here through the sea-
son, and spending their money on itinarent
showmen who only remain a few days.
As matter of business, the difference is
very decidedly in favor of those who come
to stay with us.

An Unusual Visitation.

A portion Of the children connected with
the troupe Of Royal japanese performing
here, several days ago were taken on a visit
TO the city schools. The school children

and the latter manifested much curiosity in
what was to be seen and heard among our
numerous buds of immense promise. The
visit was therefore mutually pleasant and
interesting.
