Mr.. Joseph Jefferson.

The Philadelphia Bulletin Of the 10Th
inst. says:
"There is not in this country man who
loves dramatic art in its present and best
form, who will not have a deep sense OF
personal sorrow over the calamity which
has come upon Mr.. Joseph Jefferson, the
personator of Grip Van Winkle." Mr.. JEFF
ferson announces that one of his eyes is so
badly diseased that he is threatened with
complete loss of sight, and he has therefore
Withdrawn from the stage so that he may
undergo surgical operation and obtain the
rest which is necessary to recovery. 1t is
to be hoped that the retirement of this
great artist will be but for time. His
final removal from active practice of his
profession would be a calamity which
would be keenly felt by all who know any
thing of his character, his career and his
genius. 1t has been his good fortune,
while standing with few other gifted ar
lists upon a stage which contains much that
is Objectionable, to devote himself to inter
probation of drama which is not only what
may be called legitimate, but which is es-
sentially pure, thoroughly refined, and in
every sense instructive, elevating and pro-
ductive of good"
A New York dispatch of the 18th inst. to
the Cincinnati Commercial says: GA pain
full report is made public that Joseph Jeffer-
son has become suddenly blind, and al
though the disease may be but temporary,
it will prevent his appearance before the
public for some time. It is believed that
constantly standing in the glare of gas and
calcium lights has affected his vision. Mr..
Jefferson is now under the care of the ablest
Oculists." A press dispatch on the 18th
stated it was feared the severe affection of
the eyes from which he was suffering would
render him totally blind.

AN IN0uIRY

EFo the Editor of the Union and American;
Dogs, dogs, dogs. What shall be done
with the dogs? To raise sheep, or not to
raise them? To have eggs and poultry. or
not to have them A? To sleep sweetIv. or
not to sleep? are now the questions of in
terest to farmers of this county. Win the
County Court settle these questions; or
must the farmers in desperation form them
selves into bands and exterminate the WORTH
less ours? =
The hungry, half starved dogs pervade
every department Of ones premises in Quest
OF food; and unfortunately the maxim still
prevails, ''if you love me you must love nv
dog" or il you kill him you perpetrate an
evil for which l may justly become your en-
envy.
What shall we do, Mr.. Editor? Shall we
humbly petition the County Court to abate
the nuisance or give up in dispair? Shall
we abandon our farms and seek homes
where such dOggish tastes do not obtain. or
shall we kill the dogs and take the cOnse-
quences?
Now that our well-fed Magistrates are
commercially affected in regard to the pau
pers OF the County, perhaps they feel as
kindly toward another class, for whose
sustenance however they are in noVise re-
spOnsible.
l propose to be one of one hundred farm
ees to furnish TO each of the Orphan Asy-
lums, fat sheep every day ,of the wear,
Tor every year the Court will levy and col
lect tax Of 81 on each dog in Davidson
county. A FARMER.

M SENIOR GLASS.
An Old Resident

Fifty-two years to-day Col. Sam Ament
landed in this city, where he has resided
since. During this period, what changes
have there been, and how few of those Old
citizens who were in Nashville at that time
are now left to tell us of these changes.
From a small town, with rugged stree 8, un-
shaped hills and uncouth buildings, Nash
vile has grown to be a great city, with
towering houses, great manu-.
factories, and smoothly paved avenues,
winding near the resting place Of tie old,
old, citizens now gone away and unhearing
the busy tramp of the living. To one who
has witnessed these eventfuI
changes and seen the friends
Of youth silently bow TO death and
pass gently behind the scenes oflife, as each
day beamed its brightness or night unroll-
ed its star gemmed shroud, existence has
brought many suggestions OF wisdom and
thoughtful knowledge. Yet the old man
lives to look over the past, a cemetery it.
self, and sees perhaps in many a childful
face what recalls the memory and the form
so dear and treasured of friends long lost
but not forgotten

4 Daneerous Practice.

Our attention has more than once been
called to the fact that in many sections OF
the city children are in the habit of playing
with water plugs, and amusing themselves
with throwing streams of water in the street
ance of pedestrians, and the danger Of per-
sons in vehicles or on horseback. This
practice should not be allowed. Yesterday
afternoon as a gentleman was riding along
Church street, children who where playing
with the water plug on the corner Of Nc
Lemore, frightened his horse, which came
very near throwing the rider. We have
noticed children every day engaged throw
ing water at the above place, and much COM
plant is being made about it. We do not
know whose children they are, but trust
their parents viii put a stop to it.

Gov. John G. Brown left for Pulaski last
evening.
Maj. Adolph Hunerwadel, Typographical
engineer, Swiss army, is among the recent
arrivals in this city prospecting site for a
new cotton mill. His ideas on the subject
are interesting. He proposes to locate this
establishment some where in Tennessee

raj foundation for the building and machfn-
cry, and thus economy will be advantage
Ously availed Of in even the very
erection Of the building. Of

SCENE ATAN AUCTION.

A writer in the Spirit of the Times thu.
sketches scene in an auction room that be
witnessed few days since. The articles
offered he said were damaged goods
and that women dOte on them as they dc
on curly headed babies.
The first articles put up were a pair OF
blankets, for which more than a dozen bids
were Immediately offered. The puzzled
auctioneer, however, caught up the highest,
which was a dollar, from a female who
seemed determined to have them at any
price, when ere be could say ''going,"
male cried out 'dollar fifty" from the Op-
posite side Of the room.
"Two dollars p echoed the woman, ell
bowling her way through the dense mass of
females, who were separated from the
males by a long counter upon which the
glib-tongued auctioneer walked to and fro
with his goods.

"Thank ye, sir going at two fifty"
cried the auctioneer. ...
"Three y screamed the woman.

turning to the woman with a halfsup-
pressed smile on his small, sober visage.

"Three fifty I'm offered; give me four;
come, don't be afraid, they're worth double
the money"
"Yes, and that's all.

Miss Dunn,s school.

We yesterday had the pleasure of attend
ing the closing and very interesting eXer-
cises for the session Of Miss Dunn's school,
corner Of Broad and Vauxhall streets.
The very thorough examination to which
the pupils we're subjected, reminded us of
the old time schools. 1t showed devotion
to duty in the teacher and a proficiency in
the pupils which received its highest re-
ward in the pride and gratitude of the
parents and friends 10 attendance. The
unusually thorough manner in which the
rudimentary branches of education are
taught was peculiarly striking. The read
ing Of essays, the recitations from the poets,
the valedictory, the delivery Of the prizes
were highly interesting and instructive to
the audience and elected deserved encomi-
um for teacher and scholars.

Davidson county to ell the vacancy in the
Office OF County Judge, occasioned bv the
death Of the Hon. W. K. Turner. The
election viii come off the first Thursday in

to be worthy man. In 1859 he laid down
his ''rule" and "stick" and went TO Lebanon
where he struggled against adversely and
hardship, until his reward came in the shane
OF diploma from the Law School. For
many years he has practiced law in Nash

About o'clock yesterday afternoon one
depot saw a little child about three years
old standing on the track within few feet
Of an engine that was in motion. He
promptly seized the child and saved it from
a horrible fate. After going some distance
with the child, which could not talk, he
found it belonged TO Mrs. Levy, living on
Church, near McLemOro street. Parents
should exercise more diligence concerning
their children and not permit them to roam
about the streets.
