Wind fresh and cold from the north yes

an hour or two, followed by breaking up
of clouds, and a sllnShiny and more temper
ate afternoon. River declined slightly, and
has a channel depth of 20 feet from Cairo
down. Arkansas had risen feet up to
yesterday, and good water in that river is
expected for some time. Wits is in fair
packet order. Upper rivers are all low and
declining, with no favorable prospects in
sight. All fears of freshet this spring are
dispelled, and many look for An early and
long low water season. Heavy and con-
tinuOus spring rains viii be necessary to
fill up the Mississippi basin, which, owing
to the fact that the river is 10 feet lower
now than usual at this season, viii hold an
immense volume of water.

Last January one year ago youth, whose
name we Withhold from publication by re-
quest, entered the storehouse of Messrs.
Mallory & Leach, at Charlotte, Dixon coun-
ty, and stole 500 in money from the drawer.
During the afternoon lot of boys were in
the house, and one of them seeing the money
in the drawer, pulled the nail of window
sash and after dark entered through it and
stole the money. Gave $500 to his father,
who, being an honest man, at once turned it
over to the rightful owners. The young
man says he did not take but $500, while
the gentlemen losing the money declare
500 was taken. Since committing the
theft the young man has been away from
home.
Seargent Pickett and Crank who know
how to trail criminals right well have been
on the look of this youth for several weeks
past, and laid their plans so as to ensure
success. Wednesday one or both of these
officers got a glimpse of the youthful thief,
but were unable to seize him in accord
ance with their plans. Officer Pickett yes
terday grabbed the youth on Cherry street
and took him to the station house. He
C )nfesses the larceny, but says he took only
$500. We understand the parties losing
the money are not disposed, through respect
to the fathers feelings to prosecute the
young man, providing the remainder of the
money be returned. Capt. Yeader yester-
day sent dispatch 20 Attorney General
MulligaD, apprising him of the arrest of the
guilty party against whom an indictment
for larceny is said to be pending in the
County Court of Dixon county. A tele-
gram was received last night from the
Sheriff of Dixon county requesting the au-
thorities to hold the prisoner until further
orders.

Big Corner In whisky,

The well known firm Of Cheatham &
Kinney, among the most extensive liquor
dealers in the South, yesterday made a
purchase of upwards of SIS, 900 in whisky.
This purchase embraces all that is manufac-
tJIred at Draughan's celebrated distiIlery
from this time until the LIST of September
next, besides the stocks on hand at other
distilleries, and large quantity Of Bourbon
whisky in Louisville and Cincinnati. The
trade of this house, which extends to every
State in the South, besides many places in
the North, is increasing 50 rapidly that they
are compelled to invest literally in 'futures."
By purchasing ahead, too, as in this case,
they are enabled to supply the great de-
mand, and keep a stock which improves by
age.

Couutv Roerd or Educatton.

The Davidson County Board Of Educa
ton" met yesterday in the County COuTt
room, DR.. Provine presiding, and Samue
DonelsOn, secretary. The minutes of the
last meeting read and approved. Report Of
the Executive Committee was submitted
and adopted, as follows:
l. That promotion of pupil be permit
ted any time during the session of the Com
missioners upon consultation with the
''teachers," when in their opinion the same
may be done without injustice to other
scholars.
2. That Commissioners in each district
may, in their discretion, have taught in
their respective schools higher course of
study than that prescribed by the regula-
tions by the same "teacher," when practi-
cable, without injustice to other scholars,
or by employment of additional "teachers, !"
as may be deemed most advisable by the
commissioners, so as not to interfere with
the present course of study.
8. That hereafter scholars shall average
go per cent. before they can be promoted at
their annual examination.
The committee recommend the payment
of the bill of the UNION AND AMERICAN
as per agreement for the publishing of the
revised School Laws, together with the
rules and regulations of the Davidson
County Board of Education.
In reference to the adoption Of the
"Books" for the higher graded schools ac-
ton was deferred until next meeting.
The following report was received from
the County Superintendent:
To the Davidson County Board of Edu-
catior-Gentlemen AS Superintendent of
the Public Schools of this county, have the
honor Of reporting IS schools to have been
in operation since my last report in Deem
Der. While these schools are not so largely
attended as in the fall, the interest has not
abated. The greatest interest has been and
is manifested by all the people of the county,
who are fully impressed with their success.
Respectfully submitted,
SAML DoNELsoN, Sup't and Sec.
After the consideration of subjects of
local interest to the schools in the respec-
tive districts the Board adjourned to its re-
gular meeting In June.
We learn that the superintendent Of the
district has recently visited the second dis
trict schools, and speaks in the highest
commentator of them. He was accom-
panied by the Commissioners, Buchanan
and Seals, and E. A. Mathes, ofthe second
district. The schools, five in number, were
found to be in excellent condition and all
eVinced thorough interest in their sue
cess. Mr.. Buchanan, or rather "Uncle
Henry" as he is most generally known, is
one of the most enthusiastic school men in
the county, as well as one of the best in
formed in all that constitutes a good citizen
and characterizes a Christian gentleman.
The only regret to be found with his life is
that some excellent lady misses great deal
by his persistence in enjoying single bless
edness.

Another Old Citizen.

We regret to learn OF the death of Col
Henry Bugg, one of the Oldest, most es-
teemed and popular citizens Of Sumner
county. Col. Bugg died at his home
in Gallatin yesterday morning, and will
be buried at 10 o'clock this morn

of one of the courts at Gallatin,
and his useful life, grand virtues and integ-
Tity of character had long since won him
that esteem which such qualities as these
command. Col. Bugg was a brOther-in-
law of Ex-Governor TrOusdale, and
his death again brings to the
hearts Of a community sorrowine
for the loss of one of its best citizens. OF
late, death has been rife among those old
citizens of Summer county, who have, we
might say, linked the past with the present

HER MONUMENT.

I'm MEMORY OF MARY RUTLEDGE FoGG.l
From fair Italian shores, where summer sleeping
Rocks on the bosom of the Sunlit sees;
Where beauty reigns-and Natures music sweep
Floods sea and shore with vesper melodies;
We bring carved stones, and forms whose marble
Mock the rich dreams of poets-and in trust
We build them to record Onr love and duty,
In columns DER the lOyely-gone to dust.
We build them fondIy-charmed by the delusion
OF caring for our dead--our lonely hours
Are blessed and frightened by the sweet Illusion
That they sleep better for orr wreaths and
flowers!
They whom we loved, the tried and the true
hearted;
Whom still we love, md suffering, toll and
We rear rich marbles to these dear departed,
And bring them flowers, cen as we did in life.
And so wen build them now, where softly slum-
This nobIest woman-this devoted friend;
Planting fresh floral crosses here in numbers.
Above her grave in loneliness to bend.
Ayel we will crowd our crowns and ehaplets on
Although a statelier monument here stands,
Built with ''white stones" Of good deeds, bright
Reared by the service of her own pure hands
Grand in its truth to Virtues high ideal,
Her life flowed onward like some noble stream
Of bounteous, heslthful waters; and the real
Charms of her soul transcend our fairest
dream.
She made her WOmanhOOd a conservation
To Love and Mercy, and the ''shining one"
Whom we call HOpe-her uame venerdtiOnJ
Synonymous with balm and benson.
Seeking out Woe amid the pain and pallOr
Where human hearts are frozen into stone;
Soothing the trials, strengthening the valOr
OF those who tread Lies wine-press all alone
Feeding the hungry, lifting up the lOwly,
Bearing the burdens of some falling fate,
And, with courage resOlute as holy,
Shielding some soul sdrift and desolate.
Saving some little bark all tempest-driyen,
Casting its anchor where the storms are Ger;
STAYING some sinful soul, that all unshrNen,
Drifts TO destruction on dread lee shore.
Soothing the Wretchedness, the want, the SORROW
Burning like fever in some restless brain,
Striving from blessed Gilead still to borrow
Balm for the bruised and broken heart OF Pain.
Thus stone by stone was laid, uprising ever,
Her pure life's mon ument, all fair 10 see,
Its shaft inscribed with wOrthiest endeavOr,
Its basis Faith, and Hope, and Charity,
What words Of ours can aid loves lesson,
quantity
Teaching @Forgive, as We would be forgiven"
What gifts of ours adOrn life so sanity,
Its base on earth, its summit in the heaven?
The Spring comes on, in beauty all uncouded,
And filings her light and lOveliness abroad
Clear-shinIng where her own belOYedlie shrOuded
In flowers that gem the cemetery's sod.
But boiler light than Springs falls on that
cOlamn,
A nobel life lived only but 10 bless
That life, her monument, serene and solemn,
CLOVIS in Gods lght-the Sun of Righteous

A young wife stood with her head on her broom
And, looking around the little room,
Nothing but toll forever" she said,
"From early morn till the light has fed.

We need not live by the sweat of your brow"
Pegging away, spoke shoemaker John:

A lady stood by her husbands chair,
And quietly passed her hand DER his hair;
"YOu never have time for me now" she said,
And tear-drop fell on the low, bent head.
"If we were only rich, my dear,
With nothing to do from year to year
But smuse each Gther-Oh! dear mel
What happy woman l should bel"
Looking up from his ledger, spoke merchant j John:
''We ne'er see well what we're standing on"
A stately form, in velvet dressed
A diamond cleaning on her breast;
'NOthing but toll for fashion," she seid
"Till l sometimes wish were dead!
If could cast this wealth aside,
And be once more the poor mans bride!"
From his easy chair spoke gentleman john
