Maryyille Items.

Last Monday, the Coroner, III. o. Will
son, ESQ.,, held an inquest over the body
of an infant, the child of colored woman
named Wear. The jury found that the
child had come to its death from a stroke
given it by its mother while correcting it..
The horses in town seem to be afflicted
with many diseases, all of which appear
worse thon the epizootic. A young mare
belonging to Will A. McTeer, died last
week, after few days of intense suffering.
Old horsemen cannot account for it, hav-
ing never seen anything like the manner
in which she was attacked and worked by
it. 1t finally assumed something SIMILAR
to lockjaw, and was apparently effected in
every part of the body; the nerves twitch-
ing and shaking her violently, her joints
became stiff and soon she was rendered
helpless and died. A horse of A. Kennedy,
Jr., has been affected by some strange dis
ease which in some respects was similar to
McTeer's, while in others it is very differ
ent. Also mare of Mr.. d. G. Wright has
been in bad condition for some time, un-
til yesterday, she was, to all appearances
stricken with paralysis on one side, the
eve half closing and presenting death
like appearanc e, the ear dropping and the
entire side seemed paralyzed.
Can't. James H. Walker was thrown
from his horse near the residence of Mr.. s.
=. Cowan, some three miles from town,
and kicked by the horse, breaking his leg.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: have read with
great interest the correspondence of "Sci-
entia" and Common Sense" in yester-
days and to-day's CHRONICLE. In my
opinion both are right. No doubt our
University has enough of its own work to
do, without taking upon itself the labors of
the Archeologist and Antiquary, and yet
it is shame that these deeply interesting
relics mentioned by 'Scientia, should be
gathered up by strangers and removed for
away from us. My object in writing this
note is to see if we cannot start in Knox
vile an Archaeological Society, whose OBJ
ject and aim would be to do the work that
"Scientia" wishes the University to do,
viz: To explore the rich mines of pre-his-
toric wealth that abounds in East Tennes-
see, to gather up and preserve their treas
ures, and SO form a Museum. Knoxville
is just the place for such Museum. Ev-
erything has to have beginning. / be-
lieve people throughout the country, who
have in their possession ancient nipple
ments, fossils, interesting relics, &c. would
gladly send them to this Museum. un-
derstand there are quite number Of young
men in Knoxville who are willing to SUBJ
scribe $500 each for the formation of a
Reading room. Could we not have the
Museum and Reading room together? Per-
haps the valuable assistance of the veher-
able DIR. Ramsey could be procured to ar
range things. .

city schoo, Teacher. and Their Salaries.


The action of the City Council, on last
Friday night, on the resolution presented
by Alderman Baxter, having reference to
the increase Of salaries of the teachers in
our city schools, is certainly very remark
able if not very unfortunate.
The schools in Knoxville are we'll and
actively managed. They will compare
favorably with schools of the same grade
in any other city in the South. The Prin-
cipal and most of the teachers by time
and close application have gained the scho-
lastic attachments and literary degrees of
the various Institutions they have attend
ed. Most Of them have years of experience
as teachers; and yet a majority of the
and women toll and struggle to build up
these schools and give TO them genuine
scholastic character, and not allow them
sufficient salaries to keep the hungry wolf
from their doors.
The majority of our teachers are not re-
ceiving as much per month as the common
laborer who cuts stone in our quarrleS or
digs coal in our mines. To my personal
knowledge, the majority of the coal miners
at Coal Creek and ,Careyrille make FROM
$40 to $50 per month, while the average
price Of the teachers in the city schools Of
Knoxville is less than S3S per month.
Members of the City Council talk "econo-
myn and vote against all increaseOf salary,
and the next moment move to increase the
number Of policemen, and that at salary
double what most of the teachers receive.
Is not this a burning shame upon the i'll
telligence OF orr city? 81
The teachers of the city schools in Knox
vile do not receive one half as much as
teachers in ether cities in the South.
In the city of Memphis the Principal of
the Adams street schools gets So 1000. The
first and second assistants, 1900 each.
Court street Female High school, the Prin-
cipal gets 81 800, the first assistants, 5000,
and the rest, $500 each. Linden street
school, the lowest grade i'll the city, the
Principal receives 81 300, the first assist
ant, 81, 200, and the seven other assistants,
$500 each.
In the city of Knoxville, the Principal
and general Superintendent gets only $500
salary, while his assistants average about
$3.50 each.
Can it be possible with these facts before
them, our City Council will persist in vot-
ing down all attempts to raise the salaries
of our teachers?
Such starvation salaries is "econOmyn
with vengeance. Give our teachers liv-
ing salary, and instead of increasing the
police force we shall be able to reduce it,
and instead Embarrassing our city taxes, we
shall reduce them. A TAX PAYER,
