SINFUL SIFTINGS.

Jerry Waller and lack Woodson are a
brace of colOred marketers who have been
bringing country produce to Nashville for
many years, and their respective vehicles
are wont to stand side by side at the markell
house. For some time lack has entertain
ed dreadful suspicious of JeTy's honesty,
but these he has sought to overcome, pre-
ferr.ng to believe the character of his fel-
low dealer in chickens, lard, onions.
sausage etc, to be like that of Caesars
wife. Yesterday, however those terrible
suspicious were verified. lack was de-
tected in felonious possession of a hog
iowl-worth, in current funds, thirty

Levi J. Leon follows the business Of
auctioneer, and in this line is called upon
to frequently dispose Of stocks of damaged

visitor to the Red Auction House on Broad

House burned down. There he assisted
in selling the damaged goods taken fromthe
burning building, after which he did his

Then the Dollar Store was burned and
Levi j. Leon was engaged last week in
selling the damaged goods from that eStab-

the charge of knowing more about the
manner in which those buildings caught
fire than any other man in Nashville. He

will be investigated by Justice CasSetty at
three O'Clock p. NJ. next Tuesday.
Mrs. Joseph Scott SAYS that JOSEPH
abuses her fearfully and begged Justice
Cassetty to stretch forth the strong arm of
the law in her behalf. The Falstaffian jus

and had Joseph put under heavy bonds to
refrain from abusing his wife during the
next six months.

evaded all her inquiries Of a financial char
acter, seeking to satisfy her uneasiness by
skillfully concOcted narratives relative to
prospective receipts OF sundry sums of
money. The landlady, strange as it may
appear, had found by sad experience that

4 NEEDED IMPROVEMENT.

There is a strong desire on the part Of
residents in that vicinity to have McNairy
st rect extended to the Granny White pike,
on account Of the danger in driving over
the tunnel with skittiSh horses. Many of
those living near the corporation line in
that direction keep carriages for the con-
venience of their wives and children, and
it is enough to scare a high spirited horse
into fits to have train of cars rumbling
and roaring beneath his feet. The expense
attending this improvement would be
trihing compared with the benefits which
would follow.
