A case Of forgery in this city came to
light yesterday. A man named Perry, as
we are informed, who has been in the city
for some months, having previously come
from Charleston, S. c., sold a bank check
drawn by L. S. Marye to MIR. LOOMS,
claiming that he wanted to leave the city,
and wished it Cashed at once. Mr.. LOOMS
presented it at the First National Bank
yesterday and was informed by the cashier
that he had no account with such a man.
The forgery was then discovered. 1t was
clearly the intention of the forg9r to sign
the name of Mr.. L. A. Marye. Fortunately
the amount was but small, and no serious
loss will be sustained by Mr.. LOOMS.
Measures were taken for the fellows arrest,
but it seems that he has left the city,

Accommodation for the insane

To the Editor Of the Union and American:
Perhaps no citizen not Indifferent to hui
man suffering but has noticed with peculiar
pleasure that the honorable County Court
IS at length giving evidence of its apprecia-
ton of the responsibility devolying upon it
IN reference to the proper care of the Door
and sick-including the insane of the
county.
How rich the compensation, even here,
for words Of cheer or acts of kindness be-
slowed upon the sick, the oppressed, the
poor! But hereafter the Dispenser Of bet
ter things-Of richer boon than county
treasure-He who knows and notices what
we do for His afflicted Ones-Wil bring
these things to delightful remembrance,
and accredit them as having been done to
Himself.
Gentlemen Of the Court, however re-
putable you may be, however rich in earth
ly possessions, however vigorous in health
and strong in mind, none of these things
are yours in peTpetuity, none are wholly
within your keeping, and the preparations
which you to-day make for others, may in
deed become habitations for yourselves to-
morrow; or, if net for you, for those as
good, as kind, as strong and self reliant as
8
now. Do something for the afflicted to-
ward which you may point with pride and
pleasure long as you live. Honor or shame
inevitably attach to your works; choose
honor and blessing.
Be not terrified by the hackneyed ideas
"the county is poor" stakes are heavy"
"and the people are oppressed" Both
our fathers and we have heard
such complaints from our youth up, and we
expect to hear them continually under the
most favorable circumstances; and to have
our children most surely inherit and pass
them on. But you, gentlemen, have du-
ties to perform; perform them well and
nobly. Your fellow-citizens who put you
in places Of honor and responsibility, and
who are looking to your action, expect you
to do your duty. Win you not honor your
Court, your county, and your State ? Will
you not so act as to stir noble emulation,
in behalf Of the afflicted, in other courts,
and in the hearts of other men? Let the
people see the measure of your philanthrO-
Ply, of your souls and syIapathies, in the
well selected site and the ample, airy and
healthy structures which you have erected;
and when all shall be done, and well done,
may be there to see. LIRIOD.

A LIVELY TUSSLE.
MARROW Escape from Pistol Shot.


Late yesterday afternoon Ed. Galihar
entered saloon on College street, near the
Louisville Depot, and after taking drink
had some words with the bartender, Alex.
J. Wooden, relative to the payment for the
liquor. Going out, Galihar paid
his respects to the Live Olive s2-
loon on the opposite side of
the street. In a few minutes he went
buck to the first saloon and drawing a re-
volver pointed it at Wooten, who seized the
weapon in order to prevent being shot.
The two men now engaged in a lively scuf-
fie, during which the pistol, while held by
both of the parties, was fired, tearing off
the inside of Wooten's coal, whose arm was
grazed by the bullet. Wooten at this dropped
the pistol on the floor and darting out Of
the saloon ran down the street, but being
too Timber, by reason of whisky, to steer
his fadder, was captured before he had
gone far by two police officers. Being
taken to the workhouse Wooten became so
violent in his actions that he was placed in
the dungeon, He viii have hearing to-

MOZART of the apparel of the civilized
man causes him so much positive suffering
as his boots and shoes. The Asiatic has
his loose slipper; the Indian has his moe
casin, and the happier African goes bare
foot. But to the more cultivated races is
reserved the torment Of the tight-ftting
leathsrn shoe. Willing, however, to chron-
icle the slow course of improvement, we
will bsstOw wore Of praise upon the in
vention of "boX-toed shoes.D The end of
the shoe is elevated and stifened so as to
prevent pressure upon those delicate men,
bers-the toes This is a device that can
not be too highly commended, and promises
an amelioration of the unhappy condition
of the civilized man. The time may come
when art may furnish him with covering
for the foot as easy as the slipper Of the
Turk, or the moccasin of the INDIAN
Philadelphia Age.

AttemDted Suicide,

A widow lady named Mrs. Jones attemp-
ted to commit suicide by taking laudanum
in a stateroom on board the steamer Belle
Memphis, which arrived yesterday on her
trip from st. Louis to this city. Captain
Crane and the officers of the boat did all in
their power for the relief of the lady until
Cottonwood Point was reached, when she
was conveyed to the hospital of that place.
Faint hopes are entertained of her recovery.
Mrs. Jones lost her husband short time
since, and it is thought her sad bereavement
caused her to commit the rash act.-MeHl-

ONE of James Gordon Benefits queer
fancies was an immense bird cage filled with
rare birds from every section of the globe.
So he had it made as large as house, and
before it he would stand for hours and
study the habits of the different members
of the feathery tribe. Sometimes he would
liken his different birds and fowls to we'll
known public men in real life. Once he
stood with a neighbor, and kept him
laughing for a long time, as he would point
them out, with an apt remark. Pointing
to the robin, he said that is Henry Wilson;
the woodpecker, that is Ben. Butler; the
old goose is Sumner; the sparrow is Logan;
the owl is Grant; the parrot is Garrett
Davis; the old gobbler is Conkling; IL
hawk is Wendell Phillips, and the canary is
Sunset Cox, etc. This large house cage is
still to be seen at Washington Heights.

An Old Citizen of Giles County As
sauIted and Killed by a Negro.

Last Tuesday an old and esteemed citi-
zen Of Giles county, Alex. G. Steele, living
three miles west of Pulaski, got into a dis
pube with one of his cOlOred hands, Prof.
Bryant. The negro commenced to assault
Mr.. Steele wi rocks and the latter run
ming into his house seized pistol and fired
at the assailant. By this time Bryant had
picked up a rock weighing six pounds and
not being hit by the pistol shot rushed upon
Mr.. Steele and knocked him to the ground.
No sooner had he felled Mr.. Steele than
Bryant made haste to escape, but fortunate
ly was pursued on horseback and captured
by Capt. Lem Oliver. Being taken before
Justice Alternately, Bryant was placed in
jail.
The blow from the rock produced con-
cussion Of the brain, from which Mr.. Steele,
after suffering very much, died Thursday
night. The cause of the difficulty was that
Mr.. Steele demonstrated with BRYANT for
his bad conduct in having left his family at
Franklin and living illegally with another
cOlored woman.

The SurgeOn-General of Connecticut is
opposed to the solitary system in the prison
Of that State. After lengthy and thorough
examination of all departments of that in
stitution, he reports that instead of solitary
confinement he would have the cOmmun-
ion Of prisoners in groups and masses, and
evening schools for mental culture. He
would have the prisoners graded into
classes, and the average behavior Of the
prisoner while in the Institution should de-
termine his standing and class. He says
that Sunday is the most feared, most dread
ed day of the prisoner. The solitary Sun
days in prison, with no work and no COM
panionship, are an increase of punishment
which is lot the intention Of the law.

Sixteen Years Of Successful 1856
the now famous MUSTANG LINIMENT was
first made known to the public by an ex-

time to the present, the demand for it has
been steadily increasing until it has taken
the lead of all embrocatiOns, lotions, ONT
ments, and other external remedies, i'm
ported or domestic, ever introduced into
the American market. In the most cele-
bTated racing and trotting stables, In the
establishments Of stage and city car COM
panies, and in the stables of private gentle
men, it is the only recognized cure for such
diseases Of the horse as require outward
treatment. Nor is il less valuable as a 10.
cal application for some of the most dis
tressing complaints to which man is sub
ject. Rheumatism, stiffness of the joints,
neuralgia, sore throat, tumors, wens, ear
ache, toothache, yield to its in-subduing,

and cuts are healed with incredible rapidly

Last night J. BUrk was arrested at the
instance of a soldier named B. NJ. Barker,
who charges that the accused assaulted him
with pistol. Upon going to the station
house Bwk was released from custody IN
til this morning. So far as we have been
able to learn, the facts in the case are
these: Burk having purchased a sixteen
shooter yesterday, happened to be the house
of a friend in n orth Nashville, where he
met Baker. Pulling GU his pistol for the
purpose Of showing it, Baker imagined he
intended to do him personal harm and &C
cordingly had him arrested. Upon exam
nation it was found that the pistol was not
loaded, although it had carried terror to
the affrighted heart of Baker,
