little Virginia, infant daughter of Ira P,
Jones, Secretary and Treasurer and Bust

Nat Drew wanted q hole dug in the
ground, so he looked about him for some
responsible person to whom he could let
the contract Of digging that hole, which, al
though comparatively small, bad to be
done Saturday afternoon. After some in
qniry, Mr.. Drew found the desired
responsible party in The person of Ike
Finley, Esq a gentleman of color. Mr..
Finley, owing 10 press of professional
engagements, could not dig the small hole
himself, but he agreed to undertake the
job, and sub-let it. The contract was
closed; Mr.. Finley engaged two lsborers to
do the work; the hole was dug, and the
iaborers came on 10 Mr.. Finley for the
amount of wealth which had been pre-
viously agreed upon as fair and reason
able compensation. Then Mr.. Finley and
bis sub contractors repaired to the resi-
dence of Mr. Drew, who had let out the
contract in the first instance, but when Mr..
Drew was requested to 'poney over" he
did not s'drewp ont his pocketbook and
settle up, as he should have done, but ems
ticed the besiegiDg party outside his house
and then 'twithdreH" for mo-
ment, returning armed with
sluDg -shot, which he Carried
in his trowser's pocket with the strap hang
ing cut. Then Mr.. Drew told Mr.. Finley
to so to some other man for his pay, when
the latter responded that Drew was the
man he had made the contract with, and
OF course he would look to him for his
spondulicks. Angry words followed, Finley
jerked the, sluug-shot out of Drew's
pocket, and in the melee Drew's
left eye went into mourn
lug very suddenly, by reason of the slung
shot coming in violent contact with that
useful organ. Finley was represented by
two legal limbs of color, and Drew by a
white lawyer. A number of witnesses
were examined, something over an hour
consumed in the trial of the case (Which
might have been disnosed of in ten min
u.es), and the result was Finley vas fined
SIS, and Drew discharged.

Now, when man gets drunk in Knoxville

the reflection that the slumberer
will probably awaken when he gets ready.
But in Nashville they do business different
~; hence, when on last Saturday night one
of our policemen espied Mr.. Patterson COM
fortably Sno0zing under tarpsulin at one
of the railroad depots, he reached for
that individual, and guided his tot
tering and unsteady footsteps to the Gala
boose. The case was dismissed by the
court yesterday, on the promise of better
behavior on Patterson's part, when he visits
Nashville in future.

THERE is CITY ordinance in Vienna

THERE is a city ordinance in Vienna
which requires the front doors of all dwell
Lighthouses to be locked by the porters at
10 o'clock at night. Those returning home
after that hour, and rousing the porter, are
required to pay him ten groschen, about
five cents, and if after II O'Clock, twenty
groschen. As there are few dwellings in
which there are not from ten TO twenty
families, this ordnance has almost universal
application, consequently at quarter of 10
o'clock there is general getting home, and
The cafes and restaurants are soon vacated.
1t seems singular that there should be such
law in a city with population of nearly
one million.

Death of on E.timabIe Young Man

We chronicle elsewhere the death of John
o. Thomas, an estimable young man of this
city. He was in the employ Of DR.. Joseph
Richards, the druggist, and contracted his
disease by the strict discharge Of what be
considered the duties of his profession. The
death of the wife of Or. Richards, and sub
sequent illness, required his absence from
The store, and the labOrious duli IS Of filling
prescriptions devolved upon Mr.. Thomas,
and while giving his attention to orders for
the relief of his fellow sufferers, Mr..
Thomas, by over eXertion, was stricken
down with flux, but remained at mis- post
until the disease was unmanageable, and
finally death was the result of bis over
taxed duties. The father of the deceased is
a resident of Lewis Vigo county, Indiana,
and upon The reception of the intelligence
Of such bereavement it will be gratifying
to him to know that his son gave up bis life
by administering to the comfort of others.

forced beneath, the wound being allowed to
heal When the valuable objects are want

Our Stale officials and others whose du-
ties require their presence at the Capitol,
are losing their society manners, and are
fast relspsing into barbarisn. This deplor-
able state of affairs has been brought about
by the desrth, or rather, utter absence of
lady visitors at cur State House for month
past. If this sort of thing continues for a
month longer, the gentlemen referred to
will lose all desire for society and become
gloomy misanthropes.

To the Union and American:
NASHVILLE, June 81, 1S73.-Some o.
our Nashville sick ones had themselves
transferred to that elysium OF summer resi-
dences called Ei'gefialj; thinking, no d0ub5
its pure air, its whole ONE water, its charm
ing verdant parks, and the sweet perfumes
of its beautiful flower gardens, would re.
vIve them even from cholera collapse. But
the White-robed Sisters step was unheard
in Edgeield, and her placid benignant face
ungazed upon, and all these natural
blessings aforesaid were incomplete without
it. Her assurance that all was going on
well gave more confidence than any favor
able feeling from change of atmosphere,
aud her encouraging voice aud aspect gave
more energy to The Responding than dozen
homo pathic pills, or twenty grains of cal
Omel.
Would not the Sisters come to see Us in
Edgefelt? The Sisters know no distinction
between the right and left bank of the Jor-
dan they hasten to Edgefeld, but 10. their
vehicle is halted at the bridge, and toll is
demanded in groWl hat would become
Cerberus. The Sisters unprepared for this,
plead their mission of charity, but t G
bridge man "must hive his tol!-tis down in
his bilI-he must have his toll" Oh ron was
never more memorable in demanding his
toll of those whom he ferried over the Sly
gisn lake. A quarantine on charity is es-
tab!isbed on the bridge not TO keep the
plague from Edgefeld, for you may carry
pollution to its veyy beautiful villa-provid-
ed yon pay toll-but even charity Itself can
only sip through By throwing its accustom-
cd sop to this CerberIIs.
Is the Bridge corporation, Mr.. Editor, so
lost to all shame as TO demand toll of the
Sisters in their mission of charity to the
bedside of the afflicted? If the Bridge cor
poratio3 approves this action, | hope the
citizens of these two cities will set about
building a free bridge at once, and thus
punish their graspinG greed.
