"Whilst tripping the light fantastic toe" a
young man By the name of Chenault accidental.
ly stumbled against man by the name of Gar
nett. The latter resented what he imagined to
be an insult. Chenaut apologized, but some
sharp words passed which resulted in Garnett
drawinga pistol and firing at his antagonist
without, however, striking any one. Just at
this moment Chenaults father rushed up and
grappled with Garrett, throwing him to the
ground, and whilst in the act Of Furnishing him
he was pulled of, and Garrett, regaiuing bis
feet, placed the muzzle Of his pistol at the
breast of the elder Chenault and fired, the ball
passing through his heart, killing him instant
". Garnett was Immediately arrested and

ing brought here to Jail, it was the last that
has been seen of him. 1t is thought that be

A GREAT INvENTION.
WheeIeI's Patent Self Compiler for
Railroad Cars.
satIAaacsOry Test Of iss Merits.

.
This patent coupling was tested yester-
day morning on nine coal cars at the Chat
tanooga depot, and coupled as well as the
hand itself. The test was thorough, and
the railroad men, though never prone to
express any definite opinion relative to an
invention or innovation, were evidently
surprised by the perfect method of this self
coupler, and must necessarily view its early
adoption in a most favorable light. One
great recommendation is the simplicity of
this patent, too simple to admit of any de-
scription. 1t does not differ very material
ly from the ordinary coupling. The draw
head being the same in every respect. The
improvement Is in the coupling pin itself,
which being in shape square, has shoulder
near the top, by means of which it rests on
the jaws of the draW-head hole. The lower
part of the pin has a morticed jaw, in
which is hung semi-hook shap-
ed trigger or tongue; when tie
cars came together this tongue is knocked
in and flies around, allowing the pin to fall
down, thereby efectmg the coupling. The
coupling is double or balanee-pin, and in
case one of its ends be broken, the other
can be used. From the test we saw yes
terday we think this coupling, by reason of
its simplicity, eheapness, durability and per-
feet means of establishment, will soon be
adopted by the leading roads in this coun-
try. It is SO arranged that the coupling can
be lowered or raised in order to form the
coupling with car differing in hight Of its
draw-head location. At any rate, many
human lives may be saved by its adoption,
and in case any of the double-pins break,
then the same may be used by hand. The
loss of time and human life will compel its
| adoption. There is to be another test
made this morning at the Chattanooga de-
pot, commencing at 8 o'clock, to which all
railroad men are invited. The owners of
this patent meet this morning for the puI-
pose of organizing and the establishment of
agencies at various localities.

Mrs. Weher,s schooI in Edgeheld.

We have received the following commu-
nieation from Rev. E. G. Trimble, of Ken
lucky, who was on visit to this city last
week. The compliment bestowed on one
of the institutions Of Edgefeld is deserving,
and no one is better qualified to judge than
Mr.. Trimble himself, who is an old and ex-
perienced instructor:
MEssRs. EDIToRs:-At recent visit to
my friends in Edgefeld, that charming
suburb to your city, no one hour did
spend more pleasantly, than at the opening
of Mrs. Weber's school on certain morn
ing. Cherished memories OF past times
were most wildly awakened. A few IA
miliar faces, as bright and joyful as in
former years, were before me. Their names
and warm hearts, remained linked in asso-
citation with others who once formed hap
py circle of loved pupils. As in years gone
by, in that animated group, found one who
is appreciated most largely by those only
who know her best; refer to the accom-
plished principal of the Edgeield Female
Seminary. with what motherly tenderness
and refined dignity does she preside over
q school of girls. There is so much
affection and wisdom and force in every
thing she says to her pupils, They
never fail to listen to her with respect. She
has the perfect confidence and love of all.
Her teaching from first to last; her inter-
course with the girls; her whole manner
and throbbing life in tie school room
touches the springs of novel feeling, i'm
proves the conscientiOusneSs, and thus gives
higher and purer range to the aspirations
of every mind. Happy indeed is the young
woman whose education of mind and heart
is under the direction of Mrs. Weber. She
has qualifications by nature, by grace and
by culture that give her pre-eminent fitness
for the noble work in which she is spend
ing the energies of her life. Mrs. W. has
associated with her in the business of in
struction others of ripe scholarship and
large experience in their profession. The
high reputation of Prof. Weber in the de-
partment of music is too well known to re-
quire from me single word of cOmmenda-
ton. Certainly nc one interested in female
education can overlook the rare advantages
which such a school as Mrs. Weber's offers
to the community.

vEsUyIUs AFTER THE ECUPTION.

The special correspondent of the London
Daily News at Naples says that the very
shape of Vesuyius has bern changed by the
last eruption as though an earthquake had
taken place. Hills have appeared VkeEe Dut
a few days before stoes stood FOR visitors to
rest upon, and pTeciolces have been formed
which almost prevent further advance.
The path to the observatory is covered with
cinders foot deep, and the country round
about is a scene of utter desolation, not a
single tree nor trace of vegetation
being left. The correspondent says that
two years viii hardly suffice to render the
soil fit for cultivation again, The number
of persons who lad left their homes was
estimated at $4,000. Many were, how
ever returning. The municipality of
Naples has voted 100000 for the sufferers,
and the King has given 50,000f. 1t is con-
sidered that the present eruption has been
one of the most terrible that has ever taken
place,
