Notice to the Public.

Seven years ago. we adopted the plan
of sending our Farmer" Cooking
Stoves through the country with wagons,
by our travelling salesmen, in order to
supply want long felt in the South,
and that each family might have an
opportunity of seeing if not purchasing
one of these indispensable household
articles. The abundant success of our
enterpr.se throughout the States of Mis-
souri,, Kentucky, Tennessee and Geor-
ria. and the universal favor with which
our Stoves are received everywhere, con-
yinces us that in order to supply the
continued growing demand, we must
largely increase our forces at the foun-
dry; hence we have increased our daily
manufacture of this one pattern to thir-
ty, and will still further increase it to
| fifty if our trade continues to demand
| it; so you may at all times rely upon
being supplied. Our salesmen, who
will visit you, are authorized to give
same terms as though you made the
purchase direct from ourselves at the
Foundry. We have but one price which
is cast on the stove, and from that we
never deviate.
This stove las no complicated arrange
ments such as hampers and inside Hue
plates as in all other stoves, but is so
simply constructed that any one may
use it successfully. It IS very heavy
and made only of the best qualities, OF
new iron so mixed as tosecure t,oughy'
strong plate, which nevcr cracks by ii fire: e:
TO those persons in the Stove trade
who think their bus iness will be ruined
by us, and who therefore oppose; us and q
nsrepresent us and our goods at all
places, we desire to assure them that
instead of being an injury to them, we
are doing them benefit, by building up
a business which has heretofore been
neglected, and by introducing al article
of household utility, which must ultlm-
ately bring them into general use In ev-
cry family. Respectfully Yours,
CULVER BPOTHERS.

neeherd Telegrnnh once.

It having been alleged by government
officers here that contents of official dis
patches designed to be kept secret had been
disclosed by the telegraph agent at Decherd,
the Winchester Home Journal :has this to
say in vindication of Mr.. Joseph Carter, the
agent against whom this imputation has
been made:
"Mr. Carter, the Railroad agent and Tel
esraphic Operator at Decherd, is a gentle
man well known, having been reared in this
county. And his character is unimpeace-
able. No man who knows him would be-
leye that he could be guilty of allowing dis
patches to be intercepted at his Office in or
der to defeat the ends of civil law, be it
never so tinctured with military tyranny
and Grant usurpatiOn. We will venture to
ASSET that Mr.. Carter is a thousand fold more
Innocent of wrong than the person who
caused the paragraph to be printed is limo
cent of bad intent, and if Mr.. Carter will in
vestigate the matter we believe he will find
malice near home making an instrument of
inconsiderate locslism abroad to effect its
object"

SOMETHING ELSE.
DOLLY WARDEN LIZARD.
A veritabIe Horned Frog from Tie

A VeritabIe Horned Frog from exas.
Jolly Billy Carroll, quondam boss of the
Cotton's rattlesnake menagerie, yesterday
received box by mail from Texas, and
upon opening it found the following card
which explains itself: "Horned or Mexi-
can frog, captured by S. ]. Bracken, Waco,
Texas" This frog is an iguanian lizard of
the genius phryROSOmd, and is called both
by the above name and by that of toad, re-
sembling in its general aspect the former,
and having a sluggish movement not unlike
the latter. This genius comprising seven
species, all North American, has usually
an oval or circular body, not much unlike
terrapin, hattened and covered with
differentiated scales. The head is short
and triangular, the back part hay
ing sharp spines or rough knots.
Persons wishing further information will
find a full description of the species in Capt.
Stanbury's Expedition to Great Salt Lake,
and vol. ii of the Mexican Boundary Sur
vey." The horned frog or horned toad is
not batrachian, and is found in Mexico,
Oregon, California and the Southwestern
States. The species best known in the
United States, and TO which that of Mr..
Carroll belongs, is phrynOSomd corlutoun,
usually from four to four and half inches
long, generally of duslly gray, with black
bars or markings, below being of a silvery
white. This species is that which is found
in Texas. The one sent here has a
kind of buff or pale saffron color
and the black marks OF bars usually
found on the body Of this lizard are
best described by comparing it with a
Dolly Warden. 1t has short tail conical
in shape with spring scales like those on the
back; legs nearly equal in size and length,
with five toes on each, the second being
the longest, and also sharp nails curved in
shape. 1t is lazy, rarely taking food, living
on insects. 1t is gentle in disposition and
often annoys travellers who sleep on the
plains, by obtruding its scaly companion
ship under their blankets.

The Northueslern Railroad.

A trip Of inspection was taken yesterday
by Col. Cole, President of the Nashville and
Northwestern Railroad, Superintendent
Thomas and Lands, NJ. r. g. Morris,
civil engineer, together with several of the
stockholders of the road, and a representa-
tive of the UNION AND AMERICAN.
The train was under the charge
of Conductor Aldrich. Leaving
here after ten in the morning the party
proceeded to Mckenzie and returned in the
evening, a distance Of two hundred and
forty miles. The road was found in excel
lent condition. From having been the
worst road in America, it has become one
of the very best in the South. Thirty
miles an hour are made with ease and
safety. Nearly one million of dollars have
been expended in repairs. All the bridges
on the road have been completely rebuilt and
new cross-ties have been put down the en-
tire length of the road. Trains run through
to Memphis in fourteen hours, as fee from
accidents, if not freer than any other road
in the South.
1t will be gratifying information to the
citizens Of Nashville to learn that this i'm
portant road has, under the present official
management, been made to take rank as a
first class road, and is fully worthy the pat
ronsge Of the public.
