Conmendabic.
Quite a number of the liberal prop
erty holders on Bridge street, in view Of
the deplorable condition of the city
finances, have takca upon themselves the
task of grading and grave!!ing that street.
When the work is completed, the street
will be one of the handsomest in the city,
and property will be worth at least
twenty per cent. more than it is now. We
contend that property owners are stand
ing in their own light when they, from
motives of mistaken economy, refuse to
put the necessary improvements on the
streets, in the vicinity of such property.
We should like to see some of the other
streets follow the good example set them
by Bridge street.

On the delinquent tax list have paid

to examine closely his tax receipts, to
see there is no mistake. A good deal of
trouble has already grown out of this
Circumstance.

Marshal's Hall Wednesday night was
numerously attended; and, Judging from
the crowd present, it must have been very
profitable. The tables were freighted
with the richest viands. One of the
features was the magnificent pyramid
cakes that adorned each table. The edi-
bles were furnished by the ladies of the
church, and argue most commendable
liberality.

knoxville RIbIe society.

The Board of Managers of the Knox
vile Bible Society held a meeting at the
counting-room OF Mr.. A. Barton, yes
terday.
The report of the Corresponding Score.
tary, giving some account of the opera
lions of the Society since the last anniver-
sary meeting, was read. 1t appears from
this report that since the last meeting of
the Society, the Board of Managers has
had the counties of Cooke and Cumber-
land canvassed. The former was canvass.
ed by Mr.. Albert Halves. He visited Cos
families, and found 293 of them destitute
of the Holy Scriptures. OF these, he sup
piled lS9 families. He distributed ll3
copies of the Scriptures by sale, and do
mated 100 copies.
Cumberland county was canvassed by
Rev. r. p. Rudder, in the months of Octo-
Der, November and December, 1873. He
travelled l ,104 miles, delivered public ad-
dresses in behalf of the Bible cause, and
visited 236 families, 1877 of which he found
destitute of the Written Word of God, all
of whom were supplied either by sale or
donation. AS will be seen, the operations
of the Board have been limited to two
counties. This has been for want of means.
The people of Knoxville have no better
field in which to display their Christian
liberality than by donating funds TO this
Society BY reference to the figures above
something may be gathered of the imporS
lance Of the field, and the means at the
disposal Of the Board.
