man named William Vernon, narrowly es-
capped being murdered last Friday morning.
He was leisurely riding along on his way
to a neighbours. when the sudden crack Of q

The would be murderer was stationed be-

times fed through the field. Mr.. Vernon
saw him leeving, but not sufficiently well
to identify him. He has bis suspicious,
however, and if what we hear is tue has

ADJUSTMENTS.

Grayson's Dramatic Company played to
another good house last night at the Ma
sonic Hall, the matinee being also well at
tended. This troupe embraces quite a
number of good actors and actresses, and it
is to be regretted that they did not select a
play which would afford them an opportuni-
ty to display their ability. "The Child
Stealer" is composition not worthy of the
Gr5yson Troupe, and it certainly Is not
worthy a Nashville audience. The PEOPLE
of this city will always turn out to witness
first class performance, but they cannot
take very lively interest in such extrava-
CANT, wisy-washy stuff as the Grayson
Troupe did their best to make presentaoie
last night. The Manager and Agent OF this
company seem to be industrious aud reli-
able gentlemen, aud as such they deserve to
succeed.
The agent of the Gilbert Sisters, Mr..
Brown, has been actively engaged for sew
eral days in billiog bis company for bis
city. They make their appearance at Ma
sonic hall on the 10Th, when they COM
mence two weeks engagement.
The "Scouts of the Plains" have evident
ly come up missing, so far as Nashville is
concerned. Nothing whatever, of relis-
bic character has been heard of them since
their agent visited the city, week
before last last. They were to ap-
pear here Friday and Saturday nights,
going from here to Memphis at which place
they are advertised TO appear tomorrow
night. We see by late Cincinnati papers
that they are also advertised to appear 10 that
city tomorrow night, to commence a two
weeks engagement. A great many reserv-
ed seats had been engaged for the perform
ance here, but of course the money will be
refunded if the troupe fail to visit Nashville.

Dedication of a New Odd Fellows
Hall

Dedication of q New Odd Fellows
Hall.
Yesterday was big day for Bellevue in
the 14th district of this county. As previous
ly announced the new Odd Fellows Hall at
that place was dedicated in due form by
thu members of the Grand Lodge. The
hall is one Of the Deatest and most commo-
dious to be found anywhere in the State
outside of the cities and large towns, and
has been finished 10 q manner which reflects
the greatest credit upon tbs members of the
Order at that place. The Lodge is but six
months old, and we doubt if any Lodge in
the State has made such progress in so
short time.
A special train left here at Dds crowded
with people. Arriving at Bellevue the
members OF the Grand Lodge found every
thing in readiness, aud proceeded at once
with the dedication ceremonies, the II be-
ing thrown open to the public and crowded
to OVERLOOKING. The ceremonies were very
beautiful and impressive, and were witness
ed with much interest.
AT er The dedication was over the large
crowd present were notified TO repair to
grove ne2r By where speeches would be
made by members of the Order. Under
the direction of Col. VIM. E. Demos,
Chief Marshal OF the day, the Order of ODD
Fellows formed in procession and marched
to the grounds, where a stand had been
erecteG in one Of the most beautiful groves
to be found in the country. DR.. j. r. Har-
well, Grand Secretary, was first introduced,
and made q telling speech, in which he
gave facts and fures to show what Odd Eel
lowship had accomplished in this country
10 the past fifty years. BE was followed
by Past Grand Master ]. L. Weakley, who
spoke upwards of an hour, in which
be referred, and eioquently, too, to the
beauties of Odd Fellowship, aud to its
teachings and benegts. The speeches of
both gentlemen were listened to with mark
ed attention, and we are satisfied accom-
piished much good.
After the speaking, the assemblage was
invited to fine barbecue prepared for the
occasion, and which was partaken of with
a relish.
jim Hills string band then came to the
front, and the young folks present put in
the balance of the day tripping the light
fantastic. Il was one of the most pleasant
affairs that has ever taken place in the
county, and rendered doubly enjoyable by
the hospitable manner in which the citi-
zens of the Fourteenth entertained their
guests.

PARAGRAPHICAL.

The Memphis Avalanche, with that ire
pressible playfnlness Characteristic of the
Memphis press, speaks OF "Yellow Jack"
now raging in that city, as "Bronze john"
Some men are so particular. A Georgia
widower advertising for wife, fastidously
adds that no school girl need apply.
We learn from an exchange that Savan-
nah, Ga, is proud of dry goods clerk who
has been horse whipped by several different
women, but he remains in his place as if
nothing had happened.
The ST. Louis Journal thus frowns down
q reprehensible practice of a Detroiter:
"Detrois develops some goou ideas, even if
the city is away out of the world. 1t is
stated that a Detroit woman wants di-
yorce and should have one because her
husband insists upon sleeping with his feet
upon the pillow 30 that he can tickle her
feet when she shores. We are glad that the
Detroit woman has thus asserted herself
The practice to which she objects has long
seemed TO Us tyrsnnical and unnecessary !,
especially since it has been discovered that
a common clothes-pin applied to the nose
will check snoring in the most aggravated
cases."
The Memphis appeal has new editor.
In the course of his first editorial, he took
occasion to remark, incidently that "any
fool Can attract attention when Any disa ter

edges, and Instantly attention is given to
every India-rubber word that rebounds from
walls and pavements. Eager crowds catch

Professor Winchell says that the earth is
continually cooling, and in doing so Is abb
sorbing water, and in tims its thirsty crust
will not only drink up the ocean, but even

of talk "recreations in popular science"
The Kansas Chief says thai "two Cedar

Now for Excursions.

This is delightfully."- pleasant weather for
travelling, and now is the time to make excur-
sions to the cit es where amusements Of vari-
Gus kinds are to be found. The Expositions
at Louisville, Cincinniti and indianapolis are
said to be unusually full of interesting and
useful articles, while amusements of vari
Gus kinds are to be met with in these cities.
An excursion to these cities, or even to one
CT them, would form a del ghtful recreation
for a party Of gentlemen and ladies, while
it can be made at comparatively small cost.
The Louisville and Nashville and Great

three days in the week-Mo3days, Wednes-

FORMER CITY OmciaI Heard From.

The following modest but slig ltly poetic
estimate of the Importance Of Chicago is
contributed to an AtchisoD, Kansas, paper
by Judge W. Mills, formerly Recorder of
this city. "TO question the iIlimitable
growth of such city, and the achievements
of such people, would be to doubt the
Divine order Of cause and effect, and to set
the wheels of Providence running back.

north lies at her foot, perennial reservoir
for every need, beautiful to the eye aud use
ful for every art, adjoining the intermediate
blocks with Jets and fountains and lesser
lakelets, and at the same time affording q
commercial highway to the outlying ocean
beyond"
At this point the Judge scars still higher
and to the naked eye becomes invisible,

special trsin left the depot of the Nashville
and Chattanooga Railroad at half past ten
O'Clock, and Nashville was well represented
on the grounds where the exercises took
place. They found large crowd, composed
of citizens of that and the neighboring dis
tricts. A stand had been erected under the
spreading branches of an oak tree, around
which were to be found large number of
benches for the accomnlod alton CT the la
dies.
The services were opened by prayer by
the Rev. Mr. Cbaudoin, of Georges. FL.
Buchanan. e q, Afterwards explained the
object the meeting, and then the assem-
blage repaired to the site of the new church,
the dimensions of which blu lding will be

Rev. w. Il. Inman then made short ad-
! dress, explaining and giving history of the
Gust IN of laying corner stones, and how
the custom originated. He then placed in
the stone the New Testament, history of

After the ceremonies of laying the cor

stand, when VIM. G. Brien, Esq, of this
city, was introduced as the orator. of
the day. Oar reporter on the GROUND has
heard this gentleman on many occasions,
but has never known him to be so eloquent.
He appeared 10 new role of oratory, and
eclipsed all former efforts. He alluded to
SO years ego when the first stone of the old
church was laid by our fore-fathers, and
whose ashes now rest about the ruins
of the old structure, and referred 10 the
long line of bright names That have minis
tered in the same. He afterwards branch
ed off On history and theology, and made
speech altogether that will long be remem-
bered.
A committee was afterwards appointed
consisting of ladies and gentlemen, to cir
cuiate among the audience and solicit con-
tributions. They succeeded in collscting
$104 80. ..
A magnificent dinner was served up, and
the supply was bonntiful. After which
Rev. w. G. Inman delivered an eloquent
address, remindir g those present of the du-
ty they owed to their children and posterity
in the building of churches and schools,
and referred to the existence of such iDsti-
tutions as an index of the enlightenment
and prosperity of every community. Alto
gether the occasion was a most ageeable
one, snd all present put in The day pleas
antly.
