Too Much 10 Endure.

Some time ago tax OF $50 for the priv
ilege of selling liquors within the corporate
limits of Huntsville was passed as law by
the authorities of that town. 1t being
claimed that the municipal authorities could
not make the tax, by law, more than S25,
much discussion relative to this tax ensued
both in the Board of Aldermen and among
the citizens. Last week saloon keeper
named James, being informed that Mr..
Hart had said that sunless ne could pay the
tax he had better get beyond the corpora
ton, which could do without him." caused
this gentleman to repair to Hartsville for
the purpose of setting matters right. Meet
ing Hart at the store an alteration ensued,
in the course of which the above Eamed
gentleman was struck by James with club
above the right eye and fe!led to the ground.
An ugly cash was made in Harris forehead,
causing much pain, but not serious in its
character. We learn that Hart denies hav-
ing made any such remarks as have been
imputed to him, and which resulted as
above stated,

instance Of Fiiinl nexotion,

A few days sinee'a passenger conductor
on the Nashville and Decatur Railroad dis
covered upon his arrival at Franklin that he
had among his passengers unattended by
any older person bright little boy, appa-
rently four-year old, named Willie Ma
son, who got aboard at Nashville with
the intention of visiting Franklin for the
purpose of seeing bis father, Mr.. Robert F.
Mason, of South Nashville, who left here a
few days since on business trip. When
the conductor asked VII lie for his ticket,
the latter promptly produced street car
ticket, and appeared some what surprised
when informed that it would not pay for
transportation 50 far beyond the limits of
Nashville. The boys father was not in
Franklin as expected, and the: efore the
obiiging conductor left the youthful So
journer at that place and on his return
safely brought him back to his distressed
mother here. Willie now says that the
train to Franklin goes faster than the stree
cars, but goes t, o far for little boys who
have never been much away from home.

Lively Chase.

Another account of the James. Hart diff
fculty at Hartsyiile, published elsewhere in
this days paper says that at the time of the
rencontre two men, named Booker Wilson
and Frank Gibson, with drawn pistols to
prevent interference, stood by while the as
sault and battery was made. Since then
the sssailant and his abettors have been at
large and not captured, though holly pur-
sued by the sheriff and,a posse comitatus.
At one time the fugitive was known to be
concealed in house which was approach
ed on opposite sides by the pursuing party.
One party approaching too quickly
enabled James to escape by jumping out Of
a window on the far uide of the house.
Much excitement has resulted from this
affair, which to say the least, has been very
racy, though as yet no one has been able to
say unto the fugitive thus far shalt thou go
and no farther.

Lively Rum and successful Capture

Some two weeks ago John B!lakely, a
negro, whose thieying propensities have al
ready earned him some reputation in that
line, succeeded in stealing watch ana 9TH
er yaluables from Mr.. Goodman, and max
ing his escape. Since that time the move
ments Of Blakely have been more closely
watched than be probably imagined, and
last Sunday, Mr.. Newton G. Vaugn, of the
Workhouse department, discovered him in
the city and took him in out OF the rain.
Blakely ran out in the direction of the pen
itentiary, near which institution he was
captured by Mr.. Waugh, after a lively run
over considerable space. He is known as a
sharp and slippery offender, and his arrest
is creditable circumstance to '.PODy's"
efficiency in such matters. The accused
was yesterday taken before Justice Bsssette
by whom he was sent to jail to await trial
at O'Clock this afternoon.

Badly Cnr with a Knife.

A personal difficulty, with very serious
results, occurred yesterday afternoon at
Woods foundry on Broad street, between a
boy named Ed. HsNley and man named
Curley Hines, both of whom were employ
ed at that establishment. We are not fully
informed as to the facts of the occurrence,
but hear it said that the boy did the cut
ting after being himself violently assaulted
by the man. Mr.. Hines was wounded in
the back, breast and thigh, the instrument
used being an ordinary jack knife. The
wounded man was conveyed TO his resi-
denee, where prompt medical attendance
was provided, and the hey, who lives in
Edgeneld, succeeded in making his escape.
He had not been arrested at late hour
last night.

The Rock Throwing Brigade.

Juveniles addicted to the reprehensible
practice of throwing rocks about the city
are giving citizens considerable room for
complaint on account of such vicious con-
duct. These offenders in many instances
take great pleasure in demolishing flower
pots, knocking down bird cages, and break
ing out window glass. Most of them are
doubtless ignorant of the fact that lately
enacted corporation law provides for the
punishment of such acts of vandalism, and
may save themselves and their frisnds
trouble by retaining from the commission
of such offences.

Mr.. WHIPPLE, the Boston critic, says
there is one thing in favor of Mr.. Greeley.
He is physically and morally pure. 1t Is q
satisfaction to the moral sense 10 look at
his face. He is sixty-two or sixty-three
years old; but his cheeks are almost as
pure as those of babe. No other public
man in the county, subjected to tenth
part of Mr.. Greeleys wasting partisan
struggles, can show such rosy cheek as
he now presents to the public. 1t is ua-
stained, not only by any excess but by any
Indulgence. Coleridge defines genius as
the feuclty of carrying the feelings OF child
hood into the powers of mankind. 1t Mr..
Greeley has not carried its feelings into
his maturity, be has certainly carried its
s'cheek." $50

them more readily into money upon arriv-
ing here. Hickman and the leather were

showers during Sunday, and constant show
ering throughout Sunday night and the lat

the ground is thoroughly saturated, yegeta,

of the season. This fall of rain may, how

Disaupearance ofHvdr

The moderation in the extent of atmos-
pheric heat, or some other fortunately ia
vorable circumstance, has caused crafty
ing abatement in the mad dog sensation
with which timid and nervous persons have
been of late so sadly afflicted. at present
we hear but little said of hydrophobia or of
dogs likely to get beside themselves on &C
count of that terrible malady. As conse-
quence, innocent dogs enjoy gratifying
immunity from the blows and shots of
those whose duty it is to abate public null

Watering Places.

The population of our city since the
coming in Of hot weather has sensibly di
minished. Many Of them are seeking the
cool retreats offered by tbs numerous wat
ering places in our State and are enjoying
the much needed rest after a very busy
season. For those who are inclined to be
dyspeptic, or bilious, or cross, or who are
'same and halt and blind" and who wish
to enjoy gay society without the trouble OF
being fashionable in hot weather; who wish
to have some rest and quiet
and an opportunity to build
up their wasted health and crippled
energies; or who wish to be within easy
reach of Nashville where they can get q
morning paper and keep an eye on the
vities-to all such we most heartily conl-
mend Hurricane Springs, near Tullahoma.
They are kept by Messrs Miller & Bros,
who pays just enough attention to guests to
make them comfortable, and who supply
their table with choice variety of food
and, better than all, who charge such a
moderate sum for board that men and wo-
men in INDECENT circumstances needing the
curative effects of the water are not obliged
to spend the earnings of year to get the
benefit to be derived from them.
Many citizens of Nashville are now so
journing there, and large delegation of
citizens are expected from West Tennessee
the present week. The whole place is alive
with enjoyment, and even dyspeptics (some
of them weighing an eighth of tony forget
the grabbed word and sour thought, and are
seen sometimes to smile in huge horse
Lugh. Euchre and croquet and fishing steal
away the hours so softly that day and night
pass in rapid succession, and before one is
aware Of it the time comes for his departure.
Improvements are being made that will
add largely to the comforts of the place,
and the time is not distant when the water
of these springs will be sought for as greed
lily as health itself. 1t gives us pleasure to
bear this testimony to The excellence ofthe
water, and can, with truth, assure our
readers at it has no equal in this country
for building up shattered and decrepid con-
situations.

Gently censured severely by a prominent
English writer, in a passion for writing
tender letters to celebrities Of all kinds.
The extent to which this is carried on at
the North would hardly be credited in this
section of country. Not only do all lead
ing actors, singers, statesmen and artists
receive them in profusion, bat they cross
the Atlantic and fill the msil-hAgs of all the
prominent English authors. 1t is difficult
to properly estimate or understand the ex-
