Yesterday the Board Of Directors Of the
Tennessee and Pacific Railroad met at the
Company's office in this city, The Presi-
dents report of the finances of the road was

The President presented to the Board the

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June /, 1S72,-Gen.
Geo. Nancy, President of the Tennessee
and Pacific Railroad-Dear Sir: As it is
the opinion of some of the Board of Direct
ors, and friends of the road, that the du-
ties of President and Superintendent can
be consolidated and performed by the
same person, thus saving the expense Of
one officer to the company, / respectfully
tender you my resignation as Superintend-
ent, in order to place the Board at perft ct
liberty TO consolidate, and take any steps
that they may think for the best interest
of the company and the success Of the en-
terprise in which no one can feel DEEPER
interest than myself. q
Returning to you personally and the
members of the Board my sincere thanks
for kindness and courtesies received at your
hands. 4E
L have the honor to be, very respectfully,
| your obedient servant. 10
j. w. PARAMoRE, Snp't.
After some discussion on the question OF
economy and the necessity of reducing ex-
penses, the resignation was accepted, TO
take effect the first day of July. Thereup-
on the following resolution was offered and
adopted
Resolved, That the duties heretofore per
formed by the Superintendent shall here
after be performed by the President.
After further discussion relative to the
extension of the road to Carthage, this res
olutiOn was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, as the sense of this Board, that
the company's interest would be largely
promoted by the extension Of the line to
Carthage.
Resolved, that it is the judgment Of this
Board that the surrender of the bonds here
tofore subscribed by Smith county will,
with other means attainable, justify the
company in Immediately putting the road
under contract to Carthage.
This resolution was passed as PROPOSE
ton for the consideration Of the County
Court of Smith, and the President request
ed to attend its July term and present the
facts attending the same, and to see if ar
rangemen's cannot be effected for the with
drawal of the suit pending in that county,
so as to Immediately extend the line.
The Board then adjourned, subject to a
call of the President.

An IuIr Shoofinr.

We have heretofore made mention of the
arrangements being made for trap-shooting
on the Fourth of July at the Fair Grounds.
A correspondent furnishes us with the fol
lowing in regard to the forthcoming sport:
To the Editorof the Union and American: ~
The arrangements for our 4th Of Jnly
shooting are almost completed, and we an
ticipate having a fine days sport. We al
ready have several hundred birds, and will
have double that number by the 4th. In
all northern cities of any size, the sports
men have full days trap-shOoting at least
twice every year, ard l cannot see why
Nashville, city which has more good shots
than any place of its size in the United
States, could not have a days shooting
once 4 year. 1t is indeed a pity that the
citizens OF Nashville do not take more
pride in this "growing popular SPORT A
sport in which Nashville could excel if her
shots were encouraged. ia.
The 4th of July shooting will be held at
the Fair Grounds. There will be FIVE or
six matches shot during the day. Every
body and their kin invited.

Education i'm the country.

The Brentwood school, numbering As
pupils, under the direction of Mr. g. r.
Berry, closed a successful term on last We'd
nesday, the 26th inst. A large number Of
the parents and friends of the school were
present TO witness the exercises, which were
happily conducted and of a highly interest
ing character. Every member participated,
and the ease and precision with which each
performed his part showed clearly the NOR
ale OF the school. The exerc ses commenced
with singing, "Shall We Gather at the
River" and consisted of declarations, dia-
lOgues and essays By the pupils. And it is
no disparagement to more pretentious in
situations to say that the essays by the eight
young ladies of the senior class equalled
many we have heard from Graduating
classes The Yaledict0ry was "a touching
and beautiful tribute to her companions and
teacher, by Miss Z. Hays, of Brentwood,
and was well received. The Principal of the
school read an elaborate essay on the Al
phG6et, after which Prof Baldwin, Of Nash
vile, delivered an appropriate address.
The citizens Of Brentwood are Justly
proud Of their home school, which offers to
their SOILS and daughters an opportunity for
thorough academic course.

Early yesterday morning negro entered
the Traders Bank and presented a $50 Con-
federate bill and wanted to know what it
was, worth. When told that it was worth
less, he then presented ducat, a small
German gold coin, worth about $3.50, and
wanted the greenbacks for it. The teller
of the bank not knowing its exact value,
stepped over to Sax's banking house to as
certain what it was worth. Mr.. Sax recog-
nized it Immediately as coin stolen on the
night previous from A. Gutman. Mr.. Sax
accompanied the teller to the Traders
Bank, and attempted to prevent the negro
from getting away until he could send for a
policeman, but the darkey made break for
the street, and although pursued, made
good his escape, leaving the gold coin in the
possession Of the banker.
In addition to the coin stolen from Mr..
Gutman, we learn that he also was robbed
of gold watch and chain, and some jew
elry belonging to his wife. The negro had
not been arrested last egeniDg

officer to the jail at this place, which he
reached safely on Saturday morn nc last.

shoe pulling Off aud thereby releasing him.

RrILDING SATELLITES

These organizations flourish luxuriantly
among our British cousins, if we may Judge
from the last official repot. 1t is estimated
that there are now in England and Wales
not less than 1900 building societies, hay
ing an aggregate membership of 100000.
The subscribed capital amounts to over
$4,000, 900; the lean and deposit capital to
over $50,000,000; the total assets to $751;
100000; the mortgage advances to S80,O00,-
900, and the annual income to So, 1000, 900.
One society alone has 1900 members,
and the annual income Of another is set
down at S7,5OO0,000. The deposits came
in so freely that the managers have been
compelled to reduce the rate of interest as
low as three per cent, but even at this small
figure the influx of cash continues. The
societies occasionally loan large sums to
mills and factories, but the bulk of their
business is with the working classes, and
those Immediately connected with them.
In the northern portion Of England espe-
cially, the mechanics and laborers are en-
abled by assistance furnished from this
source to own their own dwellings to a very
considerable extent, thereby lessening the
cost and increasing the comfort of living.

shOt.Gun Amusement.

Some time since we published an article
about the shooting Of man named Roberts
and bis wife by Charlie Tucker, in West
Tennessee. In giving these facts at that
time we stated that "We do not vOuch for
the story being true, but only as a state
ment made by Roberts" In speaking of
the article, the SomeryilIe Falcon gives this
explanation: The man Roberts applied to
Charley Tucker for employment, represent
ING himself as a respectable, reputable man,
willing to work, but without means. Mr..
Tucker charigably and generously provided
him a home, furnished himself and
family with supplies, also land and a mule
and implements to cultivate same. Rob-
erts neglected to work and Mr.. T. remon-
strated with him for his idleness, and see
ing that he was not disposed to plant or
work his crop, and having advanced him
much mere than he could possibly realize,
told him that unless he went to work he
would be compelled to take his mule from
him. With this Roberts drew his pistol,
called TO his wife to bring him another,
snapped once at Mr.. Tucker, and was in
the act of shooting him, when, fortunately
for Mr. Tucker, he fred, thereby saving his
life. NIr. T. was perfectly justified in this
act, and could have pursued no other
course, as Roberts seemed determined to
take his life,

city, was fred by unknown persons, and
the attempt to destroy the building came
very near being successful. The kitchen
door was broken open, and that part Of the
building set on fire. Mr.. Turner and fam
lily were awakened by the cracking timbers,
and seeing at a glance the situation, lost no

of the flames. Fortunately there was plenty
Of water close at hand, and the fire was
soon eXtinguished with comparatively little

Plantation Bitters, the most wholesome in

would be comparatively useless without this

One of these rascals recently arrested at
Newburyport, Mass, had on his person a
letter to his wife, from which it appeared
that he had cleared, above all expenses,
$3.50 by one days "work" in that town OF
1900 people. Every scheme of systematic
beneVOlence designed to transform drOnes
into workers finds its worst foe in that
criminal Carelessness which pays such pre-
miums on idIeness, and women are most
to blame for encouraging this kind of vice,
as il is womenkind who generally believe
