Death by Drowning.

We are called upon this morning to
chronicle the sad and untimely death of
little Philip Dobson, a bright-eyed lad of
eight summers, and son OF our esteemed
citizen W. <. Dobson, the architect. In
company with two sons Of Maj. William
son, partner of Mr.. DoOSop, Philip went
up the river in the neighborhood of the
Reservoir TO fish. The Williamson boys
threw in their lines some little distance
above the place where Philip was fshinc,
and did not particularly notice what was
going on. After being seated on the bank
for some time the Williamson boys heard
splsttering in the water, and looking down
saw Philip bathing. They soon disc overed
that he had got out over bis bead and
knowing that he could not swim, ran down
to offer assistance. They stripped
off and wxded in the water, one catching
hold of the others band so as to endeaVor
to reach him, but could not do it. Neither
being shle TO swim, and being afraid to
venture out into the stream, the two boys
saw their little comrade sink TO rise no
more. They shouted for colored man on
the opposite shore to come over, but not
withstanding he made all possible efforts,
he did not arrive at the spot until the little
fellow was droyned. TIE body of the de-
ceased was recovered in abOqt an hour and
3 half after the occurrence. Coroner Brant
ley held an inquest over the remains, and
the jury rendered verdict that he came to
his death by accidental drowning.

Another effort was made in the Board of
Common Council yesterday, to do away
with the hog nuisance, but it was efeCtual
ly squelcbed for the present. Our readers
will no donbt be interes ed. in knowing
who it is that vote to continue the inf C.
ton upon the city Of Nashville, of a stand
ing disgrace, and custom which any en-
terprising village of two hundred inhabit-
ants would be ashamed OF, and this curios-
iLy can be gratlfied by a reference to our
report Of the council proceedings. It is
quite evident that there are eDou Of
these slow coaches in the Common
Council to vote down any measure
looking TO an abatement Of this disgusting
nuisance, which their more vide awake
and enterprising brethren may propose.
The bill might have passed yesterday had
it not been for the determined obstinacy
with which two members sat on the fence,
lacking the Independence to vote in favor
of the bill, and being deferred by a faint
sense of shame, probably, from openly en-
dorsing continuance of custom which
is burning disgrace nd an open reproach
to our city-just awaking to proper reali-
zation of importance and the grand future
she has before her if her natural advanta-
ges are but half improved.

Which it is not my style
To produce needless pain
BY statements that rilc

On that Caucasian head
There is no crown of hair
It has gone, 1t has fed!
And Echo seq ''where?"
And asks, "Is this Nation White Mans
and is generally things on the square?"
She was known in the camp
As "kye's other squawn ~
And folks of that stamp
Hez no rights in the Law,
But Is treaeherous, sinful and Shiny, as Nye

But she said that she knew

And the statement was true,
For it seemed that she did;
Since she led William where he was covered by
Seventeen Modocs, and-slid
Then they reached for his hair:

'Gainst the law OF the land,
And grieves it is true!'
And he buried his face in his blanket and wept
as he hid it from view.
"But you're tried and condemned
And skelping's your DOOM"
And he paused and he hemmed-
But why this resume?
He was skelped 'gainst the custom of Nations,
and cut off like a rose In its bloom.
So asks without guile,
And trusts not in vain,
If thisis the style
That is going to obtain
If here's Capt. Jack still livin', and Nye with

sudacp Death of an Old Citizen.

We are panied to announce this morning
the death of our old and wellknown eitl-
zen, Ben S. Weller, Esq. He died at bis
residence late last evening of heart disease.
He was stricken down without moments
warning. He had only entered his room a
few moments before, and when the door
was opened he was found dead. No man
in the community was better known than
old Uncle Ben Weller, as he was Familiarity
called. He was long period of years
engaged in the tin and coppersmitb bust
ness, and was also the proprietor for Sc
ries of years of the Weller House. In the
DAVIS of old Whlggery his house was re-
0arded as headquarters, and as far back as
i84O there could be no political gathering of
his party that he was not crowded. He was
a man of generous impulses, and always
good citizen. His untimely death will be

How they Talk about Nashville

An the papers South have exaggerated
renorts about the cholera in this city, and
from the sensation heads that appear daily
in these papers, no doubt people are begin
ing to think that the disease is alarming
iu this civ. Somebody it seems has been
hoaxinp the Atlanta Sun. We find the fol
lowing paragraph in that paper:
aOur informant stated that the number
given in the UNION AND AMERICAN does
not include the paupers, but only those who
were inferred IN the cemetery"
This is gross mistake. The paupers
have been included every day 10 our NOR
tuary report, and every death that has oc-
CURED has been chronicled from day to
day.
