Guarding against Fire.

An important addition has just been
made to the Maxwell House. In the sew
eral stories, the pipes used for forcing water
through the building have been plugged,
and sections of hose, with nozzles attached,
have been placed at convenient places, so
that in case Of fire in any part of the build
ing, water could be brought into use with
but little trouble, and by the aid ofthe pow
erful pump in the basement, could do effec-
tive service. The pump was tested yester-
day, and with an inch nozzle, a stream of
water was thrown over the stack, distance
of over one hundred feet in height. Those
who have never visited the basement of the
Maxwell can have no idea of the extent of
the machinery used, and the com plete ap-
pointments for heating, hosting and fore
ing water. The engines and different
pumps are of superior finish,a are worthy
of Inspection. In fact the basement of the
hotel in in contrast with the elegant ap-
pointments above, and there is a system
throughout which moves like clock work.

Transfer of Rev. DR.. Young.

The announcement THAT the Rev. DR..
Robert a. Dung, pastor of the Elm Street
Church, of this city, had been assigned to
pastoral service in the Baltimore Confer
ence, occasioned general regret in this COM
munity, and was especially deplored by the
members of the distinguished minister's
present charge. The following resolution,
adopted last evening in Chi2Ech session of
the Elm street congregation, andtelegraphed
to Bishop Paine, shows their objection to
the removal of DR.. Young, and ais ! his dis
inclination to being sent to another confer
ence:
NASHVILLE, March Is, 1S72.-Bshop

loved pastor, Rev. DR.. 3. A. Young, to the
Baltimore Conference in disregard of his
desire and the unanimous voice of this

More About the s.ngletOn Tragedy

The Chattanooga Times publishes letter
from J. S. Reynolds, sheriff of Morgan
county, IIlininois, where johnson, who
murdered Singleton, near Chattanooga in
February last, committed suicide. Mr..
Reynolds says:
Gas near as I can learn, John johnson
was something of an adventurer. 1t ap-
pears that he had spent some time in Cali
fornis before settling in this State. He
first stopped at Elgin, in Kane county,
where his character was not above suspi-
cion as drinking man and gambler. A
short tins AFTER his stop in Elgin he got
acquainted with Mrs. Gilkerson,. and being
of good appearance married her, she being
a lady of considerable property. Things
went Of all right for year or so. He then
took it into his head to control the property,
which she declined to permit him to do.
Upon that things began to go bad, and from
bad to worse, until they both became very
unhappy. 1t is generally believed that the
charge made against VIM. Singleton and his
wife was gotten up by him to drive her to
bis terms; but falling, he resolved to kill
Singleton and escape (Which l think he
would have done had he killed Singleton
outright) to his home again, with the inten-
ton of bringing her to terms; if he could
not, to take her life. 1t is believed that the
charges brought by him against his wife and
Singleton were wholly untrue. l have not
heard one of their neighbors say that they
believed word of it."

DR.. r. Y. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, in
his book on Chronic Diseases, says in re-
gard to his Golden Medical Discovery, with
which our readers are familiar: ''From its
wonderful power over Consumption of the
Lungs, had thought strongly Of calling it
my Consumptive Cure; but from the fact
that it is perfect specific for the sore throat
and hoarseness to which ministers and other
public speakers and singers are subject, and
also for Bronchitis and all severe Coughs,
and is an invaluable remedy for diseases of
the Liver, and also as q Blood Purifier, l
decided not to apply to it a name which
might mislead and prevent its use in other
diseases for which it is so admirably adapted.

Another Tobacco sale.

The regular weekly tobacco sale by ]. NJ.
Carsey, Son & Co., takes place to-day, and
promises to be equally attractive with pre-
vious sales. A good many samples have
already been opened, among which will be
found several hogsheads of superior quality,
and on which there viii doubtless be some
spirited bidding. We hope to see our mer-
chants present in force, to give countenance
and encouragement to an enterprise which
will be of so much benefit to Nashville. If
all the tobacco can be secured that properly
belongs to this market, there is no estimat-
ing the coed results in the way of an in
crease in business that will follow. Revive
the tobacco trade, and put it on the same
basis as before the war, and you have a
market for one article of produce alone that
commands upward Of two million dollars,
and which will be circulated in your midst
for supplies required by planters. The sale
takes place, as usual, at II o'clock. Be on
hand.

HOGS and the Hog Law.

The number Of hogs to be seen at large
about the city has been very considerably
diminished since the probibitOry law on that
subject went into effect. But, notwith-
standing the rigor of the law and the dill
genee of those authorized to enforce it,
.ss have not entirely disappeared from the
no Ks of men, and now and then can be
s %Sl IN public places, provided the City
Marsisal and his aids are not in sight. 1t
rem remains to be seen what will be the fate of
the Opposition liz the Board of
Aldermen to repeal the hog law, or what
will be The effect of that suggestion upon
peregrina6ing porkers and their owners. In
any event, the perplexing legal questions
involved in this measure of prohibition to
hogpish liberty are not receiving great deal
of public attention, nor is it probable that
the law itself win soon become an ami
mating feature in city politics.
