Organize.

The terrible fires which have caused such
great disaster during the past year throughout
the United States should be the incentive for
caution. The question naturally arises at this
time as TO our facilities for protection against
fire. Is our Fire Department in proper work
ing order? Are our companies folly organized
and in proper practice? We have the very best
material for most excellent companies as has
did by practice and organization. Would it not
be we'll to organize Fire Brigade, comprising
all the fremen of our city? Such an organiza-
ton, under our efficient Chief of the Fire De-
partment and his assistants, would, in case of
necessity, prove to be of the greatest benefit
and doubtless save thousands Of dollars. Let
us take warning by the startling examples be-
fore us and see to this matter at once.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
Resolutions Adopted by tn Knoxville
Turn Verein.

Death has again appeared in our midst and
removed from our Society, Frederick Ittner, in
the very bloom of manhood.
This is the second instance within short time
that our Society has been called upon to con-
sign to the tomb, beloved member; and there
fore, it behooves us to remember, that in the
midst Of life we are in death, and that it is our
duty to prepare ourselves, so as to be ready to
meet the destiny that awaits us hereafter.
Frederick lttner, not quite two years since,
came to our city an entire stranger, but by his
courteous, kind hearted, and generous demean-
or and qualification, he has endesred himself,
not only to our Society as a useful and worthy
member but to the whole community as a
warmhearted and good citizen. Be it therefore
ReSoLred, That in the death of Fred. Ittner.
our Society deploreS the loss as one of its gen.
test members and the community at large a
good citizen but we recognize, especially the
hard blow, dealt to the bereaved widow, ard
the little fatherless orphans. Be it therefore,
further
ResoLred, That our heartfelt consolation is
hereby extended to the family of the deceased,
and that it shall be our pleasure to extend to
them all the aid in our power.
ResoLred, That copy of these resolutions be
published in the city papers, one presented to
the family of the deceased and translated
copy spread upon the records of out Society.

The HOspital Question.

Shall we ever have city hospital in
Knoxville? Certainly such an institution
is not only greatly needed, but for the bet
ter interest of the people politically and
morally, hospital is indespe nsible. If
any one, who is not willing to accept the
example of other cities of equal size and i'm
portance as worthy of consideration, doubts
the assertion, let him, if not too obtuse or
prejudiced against conviction, but observe,
reflect and decide for himself. Scarcely a
week, or even day, passes but what the
condition of some unfortunate person, over
come in the conflict with poverty and over
taken by disease, invOkes our sympathies
and charities. The:dreadful occurrence of
the supposed destruction of a newborn in
FAINT, few days ago bya wicked, but none
the less human, mother, might have been
averted and another blot upon our city's
character prevented "a life saved the wretch
ed incarceration avoided, and the people re-
lieved of the cost incident to her imprison-
ment and trial, had there been hospital for
her to have gone to during confinement. The
material for hospital charity is not abund-
ant, but sufficient and should enlist the eff
forts at least of Christian men and women
to afford it human treatment. Besides this
the benefits of a hospital and its dispense
ry for the needy, would deprive street beg
gars of the often fallacious plea of sickness
at home, and the excuse to obtain for them
sustenance and medicine And next to
the hog these parasites may he considered
the greatest annoyance and nuisance be-
long to our city sanitary" The one
should be diminished mercifully and Sa-
maritan like-the other unceremoniously
deprived of the city Inequalities.
But how are we to have hospital? Six
or seven years ago we were told that there
was about 81, 600 on hands for the erection of
a hospital, and that we were awaiting the
litigation of the title to a lot that had been
donated for the hospital, which would soon
be decided, and the building would COM
mence at once. And now after SO long,
considering the utter ineligibility of the To-
cation of said lot, according to the opinions
of physicians, and the very little worth of
that lot. We would ask in the name of
progress as well as humanity, is it expedi-
ent, is it wise or creditable to wait longer?
Had that project, which, we are informed.
had its birth even befor the war, been out
of the way, no doubt our prosperous and
newborn city would have had hospital
long ago. Is there no remedy? Can not
some one suggest plan to raise money by
donation or concert benefit, or otherwise
to secure suitable lot in an eligible and
convenient location. Amy way, let us be
redeemed from this interminable suspense
and discreditable waiting.

Removal,

We took occasion to drop into the ONCE OF
Messrs. Munson & Bailey, Real Estate anu dn-
surance Agents, who are well knGmm ~ oice in
| the North half of the Exchange and DePosit
Rank Building has attracted the attention OF tne
nublic generally They have nov. removed 70
over their former Office, and propose TO make
! their new quarters quite as attractIve II not
more so than theig former ones. Inc rooms
| have been newly fitted up, something sinlia5
! to those previously occupied, with walnut ana
| ash partitions about eight feet high, making
| three rooms. =.
! The first room is now being arranged with
cases for the Real Estate and Insurance papers,
| all made to order for the special purpose dc,
| signed and desks also suited to special uses
| in their business.
The middle room will be occupied by Capt:
o. q. Vanderhoof, as Engineers, Surveyor and
Drafting office and the back re ON by Z. M.
Fouche, Esq, as U. S. Claim office, having
in charge the claims of some eight former firms,
comprising the larger portion OF all the claim
business now unsettled in East Tennessee.
In this connection we take pleasure to note
the fact that Messrs. Munson & Baily have Sc
cured the services of T. II. Corkill, Esq, Pro-
| fessor of Pennmanship, whose fine specimens OF
This will be a sufficient guarantee of the man
ner in which the office work of the
Real Estate and Insurance business will be con-
Quoted Mr. Corkili, however, will continue his
night school as usual Tor the present.
After thorough examinations, we can conf
IDENTIFY say that the facilities this firm now pos
sess, with q complete organization in all the de-
partments of their business, are unequalled by
any firm in the State The four Fire Insurance
Companies they represent are well known for
their conservativenesS and soundness, and are
in all respects second to none now doing bust
ness.
The organization ofthe East Tennessee Branch
| of the Republic Life Insurance Company speaks
| for itself The gentlemen comprising this Branch
are too well known to admit of doubt IN re-
| gard to its good standing and soundness.
The energy of this firm in the prosecution of
the Real Estate Business, and the large outlay
and extensive advertising of these gentlemen is
! well known to our people. Themany obstacles
they have so theoretically encountered and
overcome will guarantee them final grand sue
cess, although the great benefits to be deriv-
ed by our section of the South can not be fully
| appreciated or realized at present, but the flu
ture will show what energg and 'ciW can do
when properly directed.
In connection with this department of their
business is the Agency of the Allen Line of
Ocean Steamers, running direct to Norfolk, Va,
bringing immigrants direct to the South with
out encounterng the former obstacles and COM
petition thrown around them by landing at New
York, besides the greately reduced rates of
passage, making this line most desirable one.
Taking it all in all, we can safely recommend
this firm to all having any business in their line.

A Hog Eats n Bow,

In Lexington, Kentucky on the Sth inst. this
gene Barnes, about eight years of age. while
returning to his home from school, near George
town. to-day, passed through lot of hogs on
his fathers farm, and it is thought, was play
ing with some small pigs, when the large hogs
rushed upon him, and no one being near, killed
head and shoulders.
We have seen hogs running on our streets
ferocious enough to eat a child. We saw one
of them in the market house drag off turkey
as large as small child We saw another try
ing to haul down from a hook on butcher 5
stall a quarter of beef. This in busy market
hours. Are the hogs to rule the city?

audience last evening at the Opera House. The
programme began with one act of La Tour
de Nesle," Mr.. and Mrs. Hubbard sustaining
the principal characters, followed by "Mu-

wants." concluding with the Shadow Panto
mime
There will be no performance this evening
but we learn that there is an effort on the part
ment for Mrs Hubbards benefit The pro-
gramme has not been made out for that occa-
Sion, but we understand it will be one in which
both Mrs. and Mr.. Hubbard will have an OPP
portunity to display their more than ordinary
histrionic abilities. There will be no minstrel
business Mrs II. most certainly deserves q good
house on that occasion, and We trust our people
will give it to her.

Triumphant for twenty Years.

More than twenty years ago the Mustang
Liniment made its debut in the West. Its cures
of the various external diseases of horses and
and cattle, astonished the planters and farmers
of the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys, and de,
mand for it sprung up which necessitated its
manufacture on an extensive scale. Soon the
discovery was made that it was grand specific
for rheumatism, govt, neuralgia, earache, tooth
ache, and other external ailments of mankind
plication, in cases of outward injury, such as
cuts, bruises, burns, spasms, &C., and was found
equally serviceable. The fame of the new rem
edy for some of the most painful ills that afflct
mankind and the lower animals, spread rapidly
and Mustang Lniment soon took rank in every
State and Territory of the Union as a standard
cure.

THE VINTAGE IN FRANoE.-The vim
tage throughout France is nearly finished.
According to competent judges the quanti-
ty is below the mark, but the quality is
good, although inferior to 1870. The most
favored departments are the Herault, Gard,
and the Gironde. The Bourgogne has not
been fortunate, and in the Yonne the vim
tage is the worst seen for many years. In
the departments of the East the late rains
destroyed half the vines. On the whole,
good crus are said to be very scarce.
