-Four COloTed juveniles were before the
Police Court yesterday, charged with steal
ing coal from various coal yards in the city,
The fact that the coal has1been stolen was
fully established but it was found a diff
cult matter to establish a connection be
tween the boys aforesaid and the missing
carbon, and they were discharged.
A colOred girl was fined SIC. for striking
and abusing a little white child.
William Hewlett and another young man
were arrested by officer Reedyestarday, on
charge of vagrancv. The nameleSs young
man had q stone about the size and slope Of
a goose egg in one Of his pockets. This
stone looked as though it would serve as
an excellent substitute for a slung shot,
and no doubt has been used for that pur-
pose.
A man about thirty-iiye years of age was
arrested yesterday afternoon upon sus-
picion Of his being the one who robbed Al
mand, but upon being confronted by that
wavward youth. the latter said that he was
not the man. lie was therefore released.
Luther Conn and Frank Carter, aged
sixteen and seventeen respectively, are a
couple of colOred gamins who seem to have
made a fair start on that road which leads
to the penitentiary. They were arrested
Yesterday Oh the charge Of stealing six dol
lars and pair Of pants from Ben Petway,
who does business at the corner OF Cherry
and Franklin streets. Conn was tried be
fore Justice Everett and was sent to the
iail Carter was sent to the wOrlhouse
and will be tried tomorrow.
Andrew Brown, colored, was sent to jail
by Justice Everett yesterday TO stand trial
in the Criminal Court upon the charge Of
larceny.

The river is slightly on the decline at
this point, yet with wafer sufficient for or
binary as well as extraordinary purposes
say II feet on Harpeth Shoals.
\ number of our marine friends, we
learn, are in treaty to get the steamer Vir-
ginius to be tOwed to this port for cool
harbc as well as a reliable point for con-
testants to get their rights.
Our home boats are now daily arriving,
preparatory to a raid upon the upper waters
Of the Cumberland, the only point that is
now available for steamers. We are now
looking for the Bransford, Bolivar III. Cooke
and Shippers Own, the last two named
being entirely new, and will be a credit to
their respected trades.
The Eddyville did not leave Yesterday,
as expected, but departs for the head of the
river Monday evening.

Isabel.
The Ada Holman is due to-day, and is

John Massengale, Captain, and Billy Bow
man, clerk.
Efetter to the HdrtSudIe Sentinel says:
Capt. Ryman is much pleased with his sue
cess in the completion Of the Shippers Own.
He says she will eclipse anything in the
way of a steamer ever in the trade above
Nashville. The hull is of the best work
manship, her cabin finely finished, and is
furnished in magnificent style. InpOint of
speed and capacity for carrying freight and
accommodations for passengers, she is SUI
periOr to any boat Of her size.
The HdytSraIe Sentinel alsOcompliments
Capt. Cartwright as follows:
The Ella Hughes was at the landing ON
Tuesday and passed up. Capt. Cartwright
commands the Hughes. He is known as a
courteous gentleman and a skillfUl COM
mander, who sees that everything is done
TO give satisfaction to the patrons Of his
boat, and what is a very material consider
alton, he doesn't try to make fortune ont
of every shipper. The Hughes takes the
first tobacco of the season to Nashville.

On the 1st day Of January, 1874, a war
of determination is to be levied against the
hogs who have 50 long held possession of
this city, turning up the filth and garbage OF
the cutters, wallowing in mud holes, and
then brushing against pedestrians with an
impotence and equanimity resulting from
long years of indisputed liberty. City
Marshal Pitman is making extensive pre-
partitions to make this war terminate sue
cessfully in favor Of the city authorities,
and. with this object in view, has been
drilling the regular bOarders at the city
Work-house for several weeks past. They
have been organized into a
company, and have become so expert i'll the
drill (Which is Pitman's own inyention)
that the biggest porker now roaming the
streets of Nashville would be perfectly
helpless in the hands Of his captors. On
the first. or at latest, the second day Of the
new wear, this valiant, nely-disciplined
company will move out from the Work
house with iiying colors. \ portion will
be deplayed.as skinuiSheTs, while the main
body will be accompanied by wagons con-
tanning athletic young butchers with their
weapons Of warfare, and we anticipate
glorious results from the days campaign.
1t will he well for owners of porkerS TO
dispose OF them this month. 1t is hardly
probable that they will be allowed to keep
Them in pens, for then they would be de
clared nuisance because of their filthy
habits

We learned yesterday a few additional
facts with regard to the robbery Of the eX-
press agents Office at Franklin, KY, Thurs
day night, and from these we infer that it
was the intention Of the men who assault
ed Mr. Wood, the express agent. to rob the
bank ut Franklin. but in this object they
were frustrated.
Mr.. Wood had been at the death bed Of
his sister-in-law, Mrs. Salmon. The mother
of Mr.. Salmon was also present, and when
she was about tOrctWn home, asked Mr..
Baibor. who is engaged in the banking bus
hess with her husband. TO accompany her,
with which request Mr.. Barber complied.
Mr.. Salmon's house is surrounded by very
extensive grounds. and Mr.. Barber Tad left
the laGy at her house and was
returning home. but had not reach
ed the street. when he was fired
upon by a party Of three men, who were on
Mr. Salmon's grounds at The time. Nj.
Barbor Al once returned the fire, whCrGupCn
tine men turned and ran. lie gave the
alarm. and the condition of Mr.. Wood was
soon discovered Mr. Barhor came on TO
Nashville. and returned to Franklin Friday,
taking with him The two men, John
Mcclure and Duncan Mcpherson, who had
been arrested in this city, and who Mr.. Bar
Dor identified as two Of the three men who
had fired upon Kim.
Mr. Salmon carries the keys Of the bank
with which he is connected, and the sup
position is that the robbers mistook Mr..
Bubor for his partner, and that it was
their intention TO kill him and take the
keys Of the bank from his person, 'and thus
secure an entrance 10 that building.
At a late hour yesterday evening nothing
additional concerning the matter had been
heard from Franklin, with the exception
that Mr.. Wood was in a precariOus condi-
ton, his life being deSpaired OF.

-. Ntcho,as and Cur Young Folks.

Much good has come Of the respect which
modern literature has deigned to show to
children. Ever since Mrs. Maria Edge
worth, about the beginning of the present
century, put forth the best efforts of her
genius for the pleasure and editication Of
theyoung. Juvenile literature has been re-
garded as an instrument Of great power to
elevate our race both in intellect and sensi-
bility. Oar Young Folks, which has been
published by Jas. Il. OsgoOd & Co, BOS-
ton, is regarded by parents as one Of the best
Juvenile periodicals in this country,
and has the reputation, also, Of being the
thing "to please the children" 1t has
lately been merged into the So. Nicholas,
an illustrated magazine for boys and girls,
and is to be published in future by Serb
ner & Co., New York This popular mag
azine will hardly lose anything by this mu-
tation, but will probably gain vast deal
of interest. j. I. Towbridge, late editor
Of Our Young Folks, is to be a cOntribu-
tor to the ST. Nicholas. He begins in the
January number an illustrated serial story
! entitled Fast Friends" ST. Nicholas will
thus have all the prestige of Our Young
folks. There is every reason to believe
that it will be one of the best juvenile
magazines ever produced i'll this country,
and therefore worthy an extensive patron
aye.

a Mistaken Iu,praSSiOn.

The attention Of our police authorities is
called to the fact that young men riding
about the streets Of Nashville mistake them
for a race course, and consequently utilize
them by trying the speed Of their horses,
regardless Of the danger in which pedes-
trians are placed thereby. We heard Of 4
case yesterday afternoon where a
couple Of nObby young men
were driving down Cherry Street at a
furious pace, and came very near knocking
down and running over a gentleman who
was crossing Cherry at the intersection Of
Union. 1t was only by an extraordinary
effort that he escaped, and if he had been
an old, or feeble person, he would have
been either killed or seriously injured. An
example should be made Of few Of these
rapid young men.

THE 2tST YEAR or HER AGE.
In life's sweet morn, i'll the bloom of youth,
She has passed like dream, away,
And We think of her guileiesS, love and truth,
As We weep DER her beautiful clay;
For Kind and true was your darling here,
In her home Of earthly love,
But her spirit turned from its pain and care,
To hOlier one above.
Like a pure. white lily, crushed by the storm,
Death shadows her fair young brow
But o! could YOU see the radiant form
That Is smiling DER Won now;
We would weep no more tor the uedr one gone
To Join with angCl-haHd,
In songs of praise that are echOinT here,
From the beautiful spirit land.
You'll miss her low, sweet voice at eve,
When We gather your little bandf
And sigh for the glance of her soft blue eyes,
And the touch of her gentle hand;
But grjeve not thus, in few brief years,
You'll meet and part no more;
And sweet FRANKS and Kittie, shall greet you
first
On the ShiJiHg eceTgrcca share

Shirt Of Pleasantly,

To the Union and American.
In your report Of a somewhat sporty c
discussion touching book agents, during
the closing hour Of the County Superin-
tendents' Convention, am thus reported:
"Col. Fleming said that he had dreaded,
before assuming the Office Of State Super
intendent, the inevitable encounters with
book agents that awaited him. He had
been led to associate book agents with
liGhtning-rod men, insurance and sewing
machine agents, tombstone men, etc, but
since that time he had become better ac-
quainted with the class of men in question,
and now held a much higher opinion OF
them"
l will raise no question with the reporter,
but simply desire permission to say that
any allusion made by me to insurance
agents, sewing machine men, ETC., was a
jocose one, made in a spirit Of pleasantly,
and not designed by any manner Of con-
strlction TO reflect upon the worth of such
callings or the responsibility of gentlemen
engaged in them. 1t is usually bad jest,
or badly reported jest that requires eX-
PLANTATION, know, but | explain nevelthc-
less. Very respectfully,

4 Negro Attempts to Throw or Two
Trains, and is Caught.


The KaorrHie Chronicle Of the 18th
SAYS: "a negro who had been employed
on the Dalton branch of the East Tennes-
see. Virginia and Georgia railroad, and dis
charged for some cause or other, made two
Intellectual attempts, on Wednesday, at
throwing trains off the track. He had
placed a croSs-tie across the track just be-
fore the passenger train came along, in or
der to throw it of, but the desired effect
was not reached. as the engine threw the
cross-tie Off and passed safely. He then
placed another croSs-tie over the track ahead
Of the regular freight train, but with the
same result, with the exception that sec
ond freight ran into the rear Of this train,
which had stopped to ferret out the pelpe-
TRAITOR of the outrage, and some slight dam
are was done. The railroaders tracked the
man to his home, and found him to be the
colcred man who had been discharged from
the road. as above stated, and aTeSting
him. he admitted the crime. lie was
brought yesterday to Capt Jaques, who at
once sent him back to Georgia, to be turn
ed over to the authorities in that State, as
the outrage was committed there"

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
Flour WILLIS and Gin House in sEaufy
County DESTROYED

Our correspondent telegraphs us that on
Friday night last, between ten and eleven
o'clock, Gregorys Flour Mills and Gin
House in Maury county, three miles north
Of Columbia, ON Rutherford Creek, were
destroyed by fire, the heavy wind prevail
ing at the time, preventing the owners
from saving anything. The total loss is
estimated at between $4,000 and 1000;
but the representative of the UNION AND
AMERICAN, up to the time of telegraphing,
had not received full details. Rev. DIR.
Green Erwin had his whole crop of cotton
destroyed at the gin house. 1t is reported
that there was no insurance.
