ings in all the counties to appoint dele

ed for some kind of business" Under
the head of "Work for Women" it pre-

girls:" photography; Engraving; Lace
Making, Net and Trimmings" The
reform for which it labors involves sew
eral things: "First, That a thorough ed

That all honest trades and callings may
be made learned professions Third,
That trades and professions, that are

the illiterate carpenter or farmer, while
our Burritts and our De Medicis rank
with our Anthons and our Stories.
Fourth, That every boy and every girl
should be educated and trained for some
special business, whether they have a
college education or not"

Academy street, near the house of
James Pryor, by an unknown party.

the probable discovery of silver at a
Dlace in that county known as the grape
Vard.' An old mine has been opened to
some extent, and utensils consisting OF
picks, spades and crucibles, used by
10
been found. The oldest inhabitants are
unable to give any account of the
mystic money diggers.' The vein of
ore has not yet been reached, but trag-
meutS of nearly pure silver, one of the
pieces about the sizes of walnut, have
been taken out, The mine is in cave,
which opens in corntieId on thu land
of Squire Il. b. Baker. A hand-spike
was found which, being picked up,
into dust, showing that the
length of time which has elapsed since
the former working of the mine has
been very great. The discovery was
made by Mr.. Lord, living south of the
river in this county. Our informant
was present at an exploration of the
cave, and saw number of the trag-
ments of silver ore which have been
found. Considerable excitement is said
to prevail over the discovery"
Franklin Journal: "Several of the
citizens of Franklin, in conjunction
with others of Nashville, Columbia and
Pulaski, have taken the required stock
in steam wagon to be run between
Nashville and Pulaski. This wagon is
a new invention weighing 5000 pounds,
and is to carry 10000 pounds of freight,
or go passengers, with ease. The speed
is to be ten or twelve miles an hour.
1t will be no disadvantage to pixies from
the fact that the wheels will be very
broad, on the contrary, it will make and
keep the road bed smoother than usual.
Ii will be a very convenient affair if
and we see no reason why it
may not be-"
Memphis Ledger of June 18th thus
notices the assessment bill passed by
the last legislature: We understand
that the assessors of Eayette county are
about to give it up as bad job. Four or
five of them have resigned, after reading
the schedule and the laws several weeks.
The rest are and affected with the same
tendency. and we would not be surprised
hat they go and do likewise. That law
was fearfully and wonderfully made,
and we venture will not be enforced
alike in any two counties in the State.
