The Necessity for a'Strict Scrutiny of
the Market.

To the Union and Americans:
Regulations for the preservation Of the
health of our city ought to be enforced
without remission or indulgence. In SAM
tary economy, negligence in one thing or
many allows the formation of the seeds of
disease. Our winter is extremely change
able; some days it is very cold and fluids
are changed to solids; other DAYS it is
very warm-delightfully warm-and our
meats and vegetables slowly decar. Now
let us candidly criticise our markets: Ger
tainly our butchers are constantly offering
meats in most desirable condition They
try hard to make their trade success by
procuring healthful animals. 1t is to be
hoped that they do not Immediately kill
animals that have been driven lorg wav.
Being tired and weary, they are then fevered
and unfit for slaughter They want
feed and rest But there are Objectionable
articles exposed for sale in our markets.
Market men generally traverse tn: country
and buy up all kinds Of wild fowls. rabbits
and deer from sportSmen; dressed chickens.
turkeys, geese from farmers, and number
of days pass before the huckster gets &c geth-
er enough game of these kinds to mike it
pay to bring it to market. 1t is. there fore,
no wonder that half of the dressed meats
which are offered for sale, are tasteless. in
sipid and hutful to the consumer. ANY
one who visits our market knows these no.
| toriOus facts. 1t docs nocdake remarka-
bly, acute oltactOIy nerves to detect the
spontaneous decomposition Of these organ
ic bodies. How often are Stalls loaded
with fish whose eyes are not full, rather
sunken-a sure sign that they have been
handled a number of days by the fisherman
How many eggs are daily exposed which
are decaying by the natural process of
| spontaneous combustion. Many, whose
sense of smell is obtuse with cold, are the
victims of swindles in the nature of decay
ed food. In all cities everywhere, thew have
officials who sharply scrutinize ali pro-
visions exposed for sale, and if they find
any of them in damaged condition they
seize them forcibly and arrest the seller,
who is subject to heavy fine, Is there not
i'll our market an officer whose duty it is to
keep the market clear of everything cbnox-
ious, and to bring offenders to punishment?

American liabilities over
Nett loss of the entire
fire business of the
company at home and

abroad. ,845,711 90
1t Will thus be seen that the forego-
ing companies, except the Amazon,
made heavy losses on their business of
the year 1872. This no doubt proceed
ed from their taking improper risks,
on hazardous subjects, often without
due regard to the moral hazard and not
from insufficient rates on ordinary
risks. Agents are prone to take risks
offered them and unless closely watched
are apt to do a losing business.
The Amazon is safe, solvent and
reliable company, as much so as any
company represented in Nashville, and
a long way ahead of a majority of
them. 1t does safe business, running
no extra risks, and as we well know
from experience, keeping a strict
watch upon its agents.
Its President, Mr.. Gano, well known
to many of our hardware merchants, is
a gentleman of high character and a
successful business man. He is no
figure head President, but leaving a
profitable and extensive business in
charge of his partners, has devoted his
valuable time, experience and energies
to the business of this company, since
his accession to the Presidency. Mr.
West, the Secretary, is too well known
in insurance circles to need any en-
dorsement at our hands.
In conclusion, we would remark that
the Amazon statement of profit and
loss for 1872, shows a greater profit in
dollars and cents than any other COM
pany represented III Nashville. But
four or five companies represented in
Nashville, in. 1872, made any profit at
all. None of them made near the
amount per cent. that the Amazon did.
We have more shots in the locker
and can give them a little more grape"
when required.

Private Schools Merging into the
Public System.

70 the Union and American:
CHARLOTTE, Dec. 90 The fifty
ninth session of Tracy Academy closed
with a fine concert which brought out a
large and appreciative audience. This
institution as well as Cloverdale Acade-
my are now included in the list of pub
lie schools. Both have commanded a
liberal patronage for the past three de-
cades. Fifty: eight public schools have
been in operation in this county the
past five months. There are eleven
schools and sixteen teachers in the
Charlotte district. Every private es-
adjustment in the county has accepted
a register and graded its studies under
the public school law. If every acade-
my in the State were to do likewise,
think all clash of interest would be OBJ
waited and complete harmony estab-
lished between the two systems.
