Meeting of the Bar.

During the session Of the Chaneery Court,
yesterday morning, w. b. Reese, Esq, an
nounced to the court that intelligence had
been received of the death of Robert G,
Foster, ST., at Florence. Ala, and he moved,
as a mark ct respect to the memory OF one
who had been SO long and honorably ass0-
ciated with the Bar, that the court adj
jorIrn. As token Of respect 10 the de-
ceased, Chancellor MciIenry ordered that
the court be. adjourned for the day. The
members of the Bar present were. then
called to order, and, upon motion, Chan
cellor w. +, Cooper was called to preside,
and j. II. Shankland, Esq, was appointed
Secretary. Upon taking the chair, Cham
ceilor Cooper expressed his deep regard and
veneration from earliest childhood for the
deceased; that Mr.. Foster was probably the
most venerable counselor at law in the
State Of Tennessee, and that he was con-
temporary Of the Chancellor's father, now
eighty-three years of age.
Gov. n. 5. Brown, in a few remarks
spoke Of his sorrow on account of the mel
ancholy tidings just received. He had
known Mr. Foster all his life. Before he
thought Of practicing law he believed Mr..
Foster was already at the bar. His name is
impressed prominently with high honor on
many page of the Legislative and Judicial
annals of Tennessee for a long series of
years. Remembrance of the past now
rises before us, quickening our reverence
and regard. We are loath to part with old
friends. Upon concluding his eloquent re-
marks Gov. Brown moved who desired to
be presentto do SO. Removed that the meet
ing be adjourned to Wednesday, Dec. "a, at
) O'Clock, which motion prevailed. The
chair appointed the committee, composed of
the following: Francis B. Fogg, Nathaniel
Baxter, ST., Neil S. Brown, ST., Jackson B.
White, and William B. Reese.
Adjourned to o'clock Wednesday next.

DIR. Y Dung at Elm street Church.

At the earnest request of the pastor, DIR.
Young filled his former pulpit at tie Elm
Street Church, last Sunday evening, to the
qualification Of a large congregation. He
spoke with an earnestness that brought the
truth home to every one present. His text
was full Of weighty thought and suggested
a careful study Of ''our walk and conversa-
ton 1t was the latter clause of the 9Th
chapter Of Nehemiah, 9Th verse: "Ouglit
We not to walk in the fear Of our God. be-
cause Of the reproach of the heathens, our
enemies" He spoke Of the common mis-
take made in judging Of a religion by its
professors, and showed with great clearness
that We should exactly reverse it and Judge
the professor by his religion.
In this connection he spoke of French
man who had doubts as to the divinity of
our religion and gave his attention to the
subject by carefully watching its professors.
He decided that it must be Divine or it
never would have lived so many years with
such faithless inconsistent professors.

DeStitutiOll.

Our readers are aware that officer Davis
has been detailed to look up all cases of
| restitution reported to the Mayor, of which
| there are doubts as to their genuineness. A
reporter on this paper accompanied officer
| Davis in making a visit of this character
| yesterday.
The house is located on Church street,
west of the depot. 1t is in back yard,
and is mereshell, consisting Of two rooms.
Upon knocking at the door it was opened
by sallow looking woman, and Mr.. Davis
and the reporter were invited to enter.
They found that bed, a table with few
dirty dishes on it and a stove comprised all
the furniture the front room contained,
there being nothing buta few sticks ofwood
in the back room. Avery light straw tick
was on the bed, and on this a man was ly-
ing with all his clothes on, hat included,
and was covered with very dirty blanket.
\ dish containing some corn dough was
on the table, and the woman was trying to
roast some coffee on the stove. These two
articles were all the room contained in the
way of provisions. A white-headed boy
about six years old chung to his mothers
dress at first, but soon left her, and walking
up to the bed, kissed the sick man andthen
stood caressing his hand.
The woman said that her husband used
to be railroad engineer, but had been so
sick for the past three years that he was I'M
able to work. They came here from Vir-
ginia about two months ago and were on
their way to Missouri, but her husband had
spasms after reaching Nashville, and a
doctor said he would die if they attempted
to 90 on. The man is now entirely help
less, and cannot raise up without assist
ance. Sunday night he had two spasms,
and his wife sat up all night with him,
alone. She says that she has been assisted
by Capt. Stockell, Col. Cole, Mr.. GleaveS
and Capt. Sheets, but yet they are in very
pitiable condition. They pay six dollars
per month for the hut they occupy, ard four
dollars additional for the use of the bed
and stove

POLICE PICKINGS.

There is something very tender and
touching about the love and respect a duti-
full daughter entertainS for her mother-the
being who watched over her in infancy,
who nuIsed her through all the ills that in
FAINT flesh is heir to, and who spanked her
for crying when concealed pins lacerated
her tender flesh. Who among us can do
otherwise than commend Tina ClaXtOn for
resenting the unbecoming language Nancy
Armstrong addressed towards the immedi-
ate maternal ancestor of the former? Echo
answers, Not Oner' To be sure Tina is
no spring chicken, and her nose is remark
able for its rosy blush, and when she passes
you you think that fairy, fresh from some
wine cellar or gin-mill, has just fitted by,
and to be sure it does seem that Tina was
somewhat harsh in knocking Nancy into
the fire, when a sufficient amount Of chas-
tisement might have been inflicted by
chJIcking her under the table and throwing
hot ashes upon her, but these are mere
matters of taste. The fact that Tina stood
up nobly in behalf of her mamma entities
that cOmbattive female to the heartiest
praise of our readers, all of whom will be
panied to learn that she was fined s.
because of this display of filial tenderness.
Armstrong donated the sum of one dollar
and a half (S1.50) for the use and benefit
of the city.
When Catharine Nelson was asked what
she had to say to the charge of having used
vulgar language, she replied that she '.hadn't
used no SIGH word" and when the same
pointed inquiry was addressed to Sue Allen,
the latter responded, 81 don't say nOthin'.n
The sum of ten dollars was added to the
already bursting Golfers of the city treasury,
inconSequence of the wicked language these
women were proven to have INDUCED in.
Joe and John Kirk were before the court
on a rather serious charge. The testimony
was to the effect that they met colored
man by the name of Richardson, on Fill
more street, Sunday, Joe made an assault
upon Richardson with knife. His brother
John joined in and the two got Richardson
down and were beating and cutting him,
when two white men ran up and urged
them to desist, whereupon the two Kinks
left Richardson and made an attack upon
the two white men. The latter ran into
house, one Of them firing at Joe, as he ran.
After they got into the house, the Kinks
made an attack upon the building with
stones. They were arrested by officer Dale,
and were fined $50 each, on three distinct
charges.

"Affer the Rabbit.''

\ couple of chromos on exhibition in
the show-windOw of Donbusch's picture
store on Union Street have attracted great
attention from pasSers-by for a week past.
One represents a dog harneSsed to a wagon,
in full chase after rabbit. a little boy has
Il firm hold upon the lines, to which he
clings with desperation, while his vehicle
Is dashed about at fearful rate by the I'M
eyeness of the track. BY his side is little
sister holding firmly to the scat, with
streaming hair and eyes opened to their
widest extent, while just behind the wag-
on the baby is seen flying through the air
in an inverted position, having been thrown
out by the rapid speed with which the dog
dashed over all obstacles.
The other picture represents the dog as
having caught the rabbit, but the wagon is
broken to pieces, the little girl has been
spilled out in a very unceermonious man
ner and the youthful driver is drawn half
way across a log, but he still cltngs to the
lines with an exhibition of pluck and per-
sevcrence highly commendable.
In looking at the picture first spoken OF,
one cannot resist the conviction that the
dog has made up his mind to catch the
rabbit if he kills the whole family and con-
verts the wagon into kindlng wood.
