The Health Board and the city au-
thorities have seen the folly of carrying
out the health ordinance to the letter SO
far as goats are concerned. Parties are
now notified that all goats seized and
impounded belonging to persons who
keep them for milking purposes can re-
claim their property without paying
charges. There are many people too
poor to keep COW who feed children
and invalids on goats milk Many physi-
clans recommend goats milk for inva-
lids and children. Why goat kept on
ones own premises should be regarded
as nuisance under the laws Of Ten.
nessee and the constitution of the State,
which jealously protects property is
one of those mysteries which an ordi-
nance Of Memphis can only explain.
While the health ordinance has many
good features there is vast amount Of
nonsense in it also.

The Bolivar Bulletin Of Friday last
has the following
For several months man by the name
OF d. V. Miller has been employed as
night operator at TIE depot. He is a
married man without children, and was
living here with his wife until within the
last few weeks, when she left to visit her
relations in Michigan. His small salary
would scarcely supply the demands Of
himself and wife, but his hopes had
been frightened lately by the pros
pect Of securing a similar situation at
Water Valley with a much better salary.
All this was blasted on Saturday last,
and his acquaintance here were very
much astonished, BY the arrival Of two
gentlemen from Kansas City clothed
with authority to take Miller to that
place where be is charged With appro,,
priating to his own use nine hundred
dollars belonging to the express com
pany of which he was an agent: when
confronted By the officer be said he was
the man charged with tie ofense, but
that he had not intended to deiraud the
company, and had fallen short by living
beyond his income.

The Patience or Job.

One Of the serenest little romances
told by the newspapers recently IS told
by the Dubuque (Iowa) Herald, and re-
lates to a placid old gentleman who en-
tered northern railroad train at Sabula,
in that State, the other day, and in con-
yersation with fellow-passenger con-
fided to him an interesting portion Of
his history. Some time previous to the
late war he purchased farm near Green
island, paying half the purchase money
down, and married widow who was also
his second wife. When the war began he
entered the army, and in one of the hotly-
contested battles lost leg, for which,
upon reaching home, he substituted a
cork limb. His last union was blessed
with several children, and all went along
smoothly until the year 1866, when he
and his wife began discussing the virtues
of their former spouses, which produced
serious quarrel, ending by the wife
driving him from home. Like Rip Van
Wrinkle, he kissed his children and de-
parted without word of complaint or
reproof. From his own threshold he
wandered over almost every portion
OF the world, and for eight years his
AohiiJ hOfSA IcCclNeQ elIlbT ltbltE
or message from him. On Satur-
day, when he took the cars at
Sabula, he was within few miles of his
old home, from which he, too, had never
heard word since the day he left. On
the train he met an old acquaintance,
who informed him that his wife, sun
posing he had died, had married again,
and had two children by her last union;
that she was living on the same old
farm, and as Enoch Arden was told Of
Annie, was happy" The old man re-
piled that he was not grieved at that,
but that he returned to see bis children,
of whom he spoke very affectionately.
The third station the train stopped and
young lady entered, who, upon per-
ceiving the old gentleman, examined
him very closely, after which she asked
his name. He told her, and enchanting
Then you are my father" she threw
herself into the old mans arms. Both
shed tears Of Joy at the reunion, and our
informant describes the scene as very
affecting. The old gentleman has accu-
INFLATED quite neat sum of money in
his wanderings, which he says hsintends
himself and children to enjoy, and that he
will leave his wife and her new husband
to themselves on the old farm, adding
that he will be happy in company with
his daughter, who is married, and that
he feels no desire to interfere with the
happiness of his wife.

Sylvanus Yates, Mayor Of Upton,
Iowa, has sent communication to Chief
Of Police Athy Offering reward of
$3.50 for the delivery Of a burglar dead
or alive. The burglar recently robbed
several stores in Upton, Cedar county,
Iowa, and then shot two officers who at
tempted to arrest him. The dead or
alive reward is something new in this
age Of civilization.
A letter received from the officials Of
Calvert, Texas, inquiries whether or not
a reward has been offered for the arrest
of Joseph Lippari, who is disagreeable
citizen of that city. Joseph had lively
suit in this city some years ago with
Colonel Beaumont about diamonds, he
prosecuting the Colonel on the charge of
larceny. The officials Of Calvert, Texas,

is not wanted in Tennessee. Texas
seems to be the land of refuge for all

Yesterday Chairman Holman, of the
County Court, perfected the arrange
ment with Amos Woodruff, w. A. Bick-
florida nd II. A. Partee for the transfer
of the 0verton Hotel property to the
county for courthouse, purposes. The
Overton men executed deeds for the
property, and Chairman Holman issued
warrants for $4,000, which, with the
Adams street county lot, makes up the
first payment of $4,000, The remaining
100000 is to be paid in two annual in
stallments, at six per cent. interest. The
building will be examined by architects,
who will make bids on the work pro-
prosed to be done by way of alterations.
The cost of such alterations, it has been
asserted, will not exceed $4,000, and
will be considerably under that figure,
so say the County Court squires.

Lie saved by a waterfall.

Last evening three steamboat negroes
entered the grocery store of Mrs.
O'Keaffe, in Fort Pickering, and asked
for something. While the old lady was
looking around for the articles, one of
the negroes struck her on the back of
the head with club. Having on a
waterfall saved the life of Mrs. O'Keaffe,
it being knocked into flinders by the
blow, but the club cut her head through
the waterfall. She screamed for assist
ance, and the would-be robbers ran
away. Later at night the grocery store
Of Mr.. Reilly, adjacent, was entered and
plundered of several hundred dollars
worth Of goods. There is gang Of negro
desperadoes in Fort Pickering,
