heath of am Esfimahla Lady.

We chronicle this morning the death of
Mrs. Sarah A. Cartwright, wife of our well
known and highly esteemed citizen III. l..
Cartwright. Just one week ago, when IN
the apparent enjoyment of her usual good
health, she was suddenly Frustrated by q
violent attack of pneumonia. The disease
refused to yield to medical skill, and she
continued from day to day growing worse,
expiring at IL O'Clock yesterday morning.
Her death will be lamented by host OF
friends. No womanin our community was
more noted for her charitable deeds and the
great energy she displayed in ministering
to the wants of the needy. During the
war, when the hospitals in Nashville were
filed with wounded Southern soldiers, she
was conspicuous in her attentions, and gave
I'D nearly her entire time in providing for
their comforts. And while her death will
be regretted at home, where she has ever
been known as a mlnistering angel, there
are heroic spirits in every Southern State
that will read with sorrow the paragraph
announcing the demise of one whose mis-
sion of benevolence saved many from an
untimely grave.

Poverty and Misery.

There is nothing more touching than the
misery of old age when disease binds down
the totte:ing form and holds it all friend =,
less on the lonely couch of sickness. In a
little wooden building on South Cherry
street, near Church, an old man, moneyless
and without friends, is now on his sick bed
unattended during the night. Loving
hands soothe brow of youth in its feverish
affections, and silent forms with gentle
care sit by its couch. But when poverty
and misfortune seize the old, who is there
to add one comfort or cheer its neg
lected couch? Alas, that humanity
forgets its task when age and misery
only greet its duties and charity shrinks
from the afflicted form of friendless age
when nothing but the tear of gratitude
beams on its presence, in the scanty room
where the sick man is lying, is dying, what
reproaehes might his signs tell and what
lessons of noblest duties be taught there.
Do the kindly duties of charity direct the
modern Samaritsn's step only to the glitter
ing homes of wealth or with hope TO the
bright palaces of pleasure and mistaken

The Swiss Immigrants.

The Knoxville Press and Herald, March
5, says:
A dispatch from Gen. Hitz, received by
Mr.. Peter Staub, on Monday night last,
stated that the Swiss immigrants for Grun-
dy county would be in Knoxville, en- route,
on the noon train, yesterday. The news
soon spread among our Swiss popula-
ton and a meeting was held the
same night and preparations made
to welcome the new corners from
Fatherland. 1t was decided to have the
party, which included men, women and
children, to remain over in this city until
the 11:90 train last night, as by leaving
here at that hour they would arrive at
Cowan, on the Nashville and Chattanooga
Railroad, in daylight. The utmost en-
thusiasm prevailed among the warm heart
ed Swiss, and there was no limit to the
cordial and generous treatment they were
preparing to give their travelling breth-
rem. A handsome dinner was
among the plans decided on. IN
fortunately for the display oftheir kindness
and warm welcome, dispatch from Gen.
Hitz was received by Mr.. Staub, yesterday
morning, announcing that the train on the
Virginia and Tennessee Railroad had failed
to connect at Bristol, and that the party
would not arrive here until the night train.
This was heartily regretted by the Swiss
residents who desired to make the immi-
grants feel that they were welcome to their
homes in the great republic.
Mr.. Staub left the city, on the noon train
from the west, yesterday, to meet Gen. Hitz
and his party, near Jonesboro, and accom-
panied them down to Knoxville. He was
laden with souvenirs of friendship from his
fellow-countrymen of the city to the mem
bers of the immigrant party.
The party passed here a little after II
O'Clock, last night, Mr.. Staub and Gen.
Hitz going on with them.

Police PickiuEs,

Business at Judge Duling's rendezvous
was very light yesterday. Jane Parish and
Lucretia Robertson fell victims to mans
tyranny, and all because they had their
own ideas as to what constitutes chaste and
elegant conversation, in which they we're so
unfortunate as to differ with the police au.
thorities. 1t is matter of sincere regret
that there is such a wide divergence OF
opinion on this subject, between these dam
sells and the court. They were each fined
five dollars, which sum they paid with a
cheerful alacrity beautiful TO witness.
Richard Glennen was drunk; that was
all that was the matter with him. The
sum of five dollars, silently transferred from

city Golfers, satisfied the demands of the
municipal authorities, and Richard went
out to try it again.

DEATHS IN TME GREAT MINNESO.
ia SNOW 81 ORM.

There has either been great misappre
tension of facts on the palt Of the Mime
sofa papers and of correspondents general
ly, regarding the number of lives lost by
the terrible snow storm which swept over
the State on the It'll of last January, or else
efforts are being made by the Minnesot
authorities to conceal the true loss. 1t will
be remembered that Immediately after the
storm, the accounts given by persons from
the scenes of the greatest loss of life, plac-
ed the list of frozen among the hundreds.
Names, places and circumstances were CIV
en-, which bore every appearance Of having
been the truth, allowing even for the nat
ural tinge of exsggeration which might
have been expected from the excitement
that prevailed. Now, however, the report
of the Storm Commissioner, appointed by
Governor Austin on Jan. to make
q personal examination into the circumstan-
ces of the casualties of the storm, is in,
and only eighteen assured and two suppos-
sed cases of freezing to death have been
found. OF these twenty, eight were froz-
en- in Watouwan county, four in Martin
county, three in MOBILES county, one each in
in Fairboult, Brown, Cottonwood and Nj
collet, and two in Blue Earth county. If
this be the sum total of the loss of life, how
ever unfortunate 1t may be, the Minnesota
papers ened in giving false impressions of
the number of those who had fallen victims
to the fury of the storm.
