TENNESSEE NEWS.

Cholera-morbus is prevalent in Morris
town.
The Morristown Gazette, of the 1lth
inst, says: During the past week we had
some seasonaole rains, and the corn crop is
looking fine and luxuriant.
The Fayetteville Observer of the 18th
inst. says: ALI our artisans are now busily
engaged, and the sound of the many ham
mers assures you that business is lively.
Improvements still move o.. We hear no
inquiry by laborers for work, but we hear
many inquiries for somebody to do work.
Fayetteville is no place for loafers, but one
of the very best places for honest laboring
men who earn for themselves living and
a competence by honest labor. 1850
The Pulaski Citizen of the 18th inst.
says: A man named John Reeves, who
shot another man in Maury county about
two years ago and took refuge in Giles
county, defying arrest, was arrested by
Deputy Sheriff E. f. Aymett at Aspen Hill
last Monday night and placed in jail at
that place. 1t will be remembered that his
arrest was attempted some time ago by q
Mr.. Reed, when he was shot. He lay for
some time in a critical condition, but re-
covered sufficiently to elude the Others be-
fore they were apprized of it. Mr.. Aymett
shot at him twice before he brought him to,
but missed him.

THE SCHOOL LAW.

From the memphis heglSISI'
The Tennessee school law is favorably
commented on by the educational and lite
rary journals as sinpler Than some OF the
systems OF the older States, aud as embodY-
ing all the provisions required for behef-
cial execution, If supported by the p5oPle in
its developments. Professor Thompson, a
m an of high reputation among teachers in
New ! ork, says of it:
fsI avn much pleased with your school
law. 1t is the best that has ever come un-
der my obs Il Walton, and if the people sus-
tain the officers charged with its execution,
it cannot fail to produce good results. I'm
der its ap 7lication and influence, Tennes-
see, doubt not, will soon have as good
public schools as any State in the Union. +"
The same view is expressed 10y quite q
number of the most distinguished and high
ly educated editors OF the Northern States,
on The same condition If suitable practical
execution. In this State, the Jonesboro
Herald and Tribune, whose editor is the
Superintende { for Washington county,
says:
& 1.-The new school law will not work with
cut more or less friction. We must have
patience to give il 3 fair test. 1t will not
exactly suit everybody, neither is it expected
to. The law in itself is not free from i'm
perfections, but il is right well suited to the
condition of affairs ia Tennessee. 1t will
REQUIRE time to develop any system, and es-
pecia Nv will this be the case with US. We
suf gest that the school commissioners make
themselves perfectly familiar with the pro-
visions of the law. Ii we CA have the law
properly administered in the school dis
tricts, progress will be certain and rapid.
In our Judgment this is an important mat
ter. We want men as school commission
ers who will endeavor to make all out of the
law that is possible to be made OFT of it
men who will work aud await results"
On the first Monday in July all the su-
perintendents not yet chosen are to be chos-
en-, and on the first Thursday in August
the school districts will choose their board
of directors. II sufficient attention is psid
TO the mstler, with good selections of com.
missioners, the work viii begin well and 60
on to improve with experience. The or
panization being thus effected nothing will
be in the way of the execution, unless 1t
should be TO supplement, if necessary, the
provision air ady made by the STATE with
q suitable appropriation by the Quarterly
Court. The interest Of the State school
fund, with the poll tax, and the tax OF one
mill on the hundred dollars already provid-
ed will leave no great deal more TO be done
bv the county unless it is to provide some
thing in the outset to put the system into
immediate and active operation. With
Democratic government and people al
equal before the law, the education OF the
masses becomes extremely important.

Last week our friend Col. J. W. Baker,
who lives at the foot of the Ridge, eXhlb-
tied TO us the skull of an unnamed "Yar-
mini" in natural history, so far as we are
iufol med. and if it is within the scope of
any other persons knowledge we would
like TO hear from him. 1t is thus described:
Triangular shaped, ?! inches across the
rear angle, ! inches thick at same place,
with gradual slope toward the tip of the
nose. The roof of the mouth is matted
with irregular grinders and faugs, varying
in size from that of the point of cambria
needle to medium English pea. The out
er edge from point to point has - tangs Of
diff, rent sizes, while the remainder of the
roof contains IS grinders of larger order,
though not regular in shape or size-mak-
inc in all SO teeth. There are no percepti-
bic places where the eyes should have been,
neither can we tell whether 1t ever had any
hut inst above where we think they
should have been, are two bony projections
shared like ears. There is natural seam
running from the top to the front, resem'
bling that in shape and appearance of other
skulls. Col. Baker fund it while out hunt.

LARCENY, ARSON AND MURDER.

The house of Jim McEweD, colored, who
lives upon the place of Esq. Jesse Fry, near
Lynnville, was burned last Sunday night
between Z and 8 O'Clock, while be and his
wife were absent at church, burning to
death two of his children, aged about s and
10 years, who we're locked up and asleep up
stairs. A negro named Geperal Griggsby,
aged about 10 years, was arrested in Maury
county by some negroes Monday, and
brought to Lynnville and turned over to
Constable John Hindman, charged with
having committed the crime, and was tried
before Esq. j. W. McLaurine and commit
ted without bail, Mr.. Hindmsm arriving here
with him Tuesday morning. Griggsby was
identified by the popularity Of his track,
and his guilt was further established from
threats previously made by him and from
clothes in his possession identified by Nc
Even. 1t appears that be first robbed the
house and then set fire to it, attempting
thus to obliterate all evidences of robbery.
His crime is the most hideous we have
ever recorded or known, and the law will
certainly visit upon him its direst ven
geance.-PuLGski Citizen, June II.

a Railroad Smash.

PIFTsBURG, Pa, June IA collision
occurred on the Penn, Central Railroad
this morning which although of a serious
character did not result in serious injury to
any passengers. As the Pittsburg Express
was nearing Walls Station at the usual rate
of speed coal train from the Oak Hill
Mines ran across the track. The engineer
ofthe Express train applied the brakes,
but the distance was so short that the train
could not be checked. The engine plowed
through the obstructing train, scattering
the coal cars and piling them up on both
sides of the road. The engine attached to
the coal train was thrown from the track
and rolled over the emDsnkment into Tur-
tie creek. TIE engineer and fireman es'
capped with slight bruises. The Express
engine was disabled, but no further dam
age done to the train.
