So. Cecilia.

The Academy Of St. Cecilia was founded
in the year 1850, to supply a want long felt
in the South-that of a frSt-cldSS educa-
tiOnal establishment for young ladies. The
academy is an imposing structure of solid
brick, chaste and beautiful in design, and
stands upon one Of the l~oveliest Of the
| beautiful hills which encircle the capital
of the State.
The grounds are large and tastefully laid
out, and the only place within that distance
of the city where the noble forest trees, the
work Of Natures planting, have been saved
from the destroying hand of war. Here
the young ladies amUse themselves at re-
creation hours, prefering it, even in sum-
mer, to the tempting scenery of the river
side, on account of the cool, fresh breeze
which its elevated situation always enjoys,
even al times when the heat in the city Is
almost oppressive.
The halls and class-rOOms are spacious,
airy, and elegantly kept and the whole
establishment is provided with every mod
eTn convenience. The buildings are sup
piled from the grounds with the best
chalybeate and purest sulphur waters-an
advantage rarely enjoyed by any similar in
stitutiOn.
The programme of studies pursued in
the Academy, besides the ordinary branch
es that constitute the basis Of every solid
education, comprises Logic, Astronomy,
Vocal and Instrumental Music, Ancient
and Modern Languages, Drawing, Painting,
the Fine Arts, as waX-fiOwers and fruits,
shelEwork, artificial flowers, etc; every
thing. in fact, that goes to form the we'll
educated and highly accomplished young
lady.-NdSiCjUe Commercial Reporter.

The EdgeGeId Town Clock.

To the Citizens of Edgefield: Your COM
mittee, appointed to raise funds for the
purpose of purchasing 4 town clock for the
new schOOlhouse building, are happy to re-
port that their efforts in this direction have
been successful, far beyond their expecta-
tions. We have now in the hands of our
treasurer a sufficient amount Of money to
pay for n tiIst-claSs clock, and hope ere long
TO have one in position in the schoolhousc
tower. After paying for the clock we
will still have a small balance on hand.
which w propose expanding for a bell 10
90 with the clock. We intend that the
clock shall be fiTst-claSs in every respect.
and desire the bell shall be in keeping with
il. To do this, we will need several hun
bred dollars, and in order to raise the ne
ceSsary amount, viii give a grand concert
at McClure's Hall, Edgefeld, next Thurs
day night. MeSsrs. Robert LOwery and
ThoS. Vain have taken charge of the con-
cert and have enlisted the services of some
of the finest musical talent in Nashville
and Edgefeld, numbering over fifty ladies
and gentlemen. We feel assured that the
concert VIII be a rare musical treat for our
citizens, and we hope they will turn out in
such numbers as it will be unnecessary for
the committee TO again call upon them for
assistance. The tickets are being sold by
the school children. and we hope that no
one interested in the enterprise will re-
fuse TO purchase n

bordering on the Humorous.

The following "bill" was introduced in
the Common Council last week, by Coun-
Gilman Luck, but was declared out of Or
der:
An act to expedite business at the Treasu-
rer's Office.
Whereas, the opinion seems TO be enter
tanned by many, that g~reenbaCks are getting
so plentiful in the TreaSurer's office as TO
seriously retard the transaction of business
therein, and.
Whereas, it is expedient to dispose of
them far more expeditiOusly than hereto
fore, to prevent the necessity of renting the
Exposition building to store them in, there
fore be it enacted by the Mayor and City
Council of Nashville,
Sec. /. Hereafter the, the regular meet
ings OF both Boards Of the City Council,
shall be held at Z O'Clock, sharp, on the
evenings of the 1st, I'd, Sd, 4th, 9Th, 9th
and Tth days Of each week during the pres
ent municipal year.
Sec. 2. That the salaries of all officers
and employees of the corporation, be and
are hereby increased nine hundred and
ninety-nine per cent; said increase to take
effect from the commencement Of this mu-
nicipal year.
Sec. ). This act TO take effect on and al
ter its passage, and remain in force until
after the fall elections. Corporation bank

mind by pfcperty-hOlders along the line of
that street.
II has been reported that Mrs. Allison
purposed rebuilding the stores on the corn
er of Church and College, which were
burned down recently, but this work will
not be done al present. 1t was her inten-
ticn to begin tomorrow the erection Of a
first class four story building, containing
all the modern improvements, and to be
completed by the LIST Of July next. But
this enterprise has teen
NIPPED IN u BUD,
and all on account Of those insurance men.
The buildings were insured in four COM
panies, to the amount of Sl3,5OO. One of
these, the Commercial Of this city, is will
ing to pay her proportion Of that sum at
once, but the others claim that the proper
ty yas not worth more than $4,000. and
refuse too pay anything over that sum.
We trust this difference Of $500 may be
bridged over at an early day, and that this
valuable business corner may be utilized.
Next Tuesday q very valuable piece of
property is to be sold at auction, by Mr..
Thomas Calender, being eighty feet on the
south side Of Cherry street, between Church
and Union. AT present the ground is Gov
cred with a row Of shanties that were erect
ell for temporary purposes during the war.
They have served their purpose, and now
that the real estate will change owners, first
class business houses Will doubtless be
erected thereon.
The Kirkman building, corner Of Sum
mer and Cedar, is still undergoing repairs,
preparatory to being occupied by the Fed
eral Courts, and United States Marshal's
Office. The government property has not
vet been removed from the capitol, with
the exception of a few cases which are
being fitted into position in the Kirkman
building.
All the architects in the city are extreme
" busy, and in answer to questions regard
ing proposed Improvements, each intimates
that he has a big contract on hand, but is
not ready to make known the particulars.
One thing is certain: There will be more
money expended in Improvements in Nash
vile than in any two years heretofore.

Who Lost the Books?

A gentleman was met on the street last
night by a young man by the name of Geo.
w. Edwards, who proposed selling him a
couple of books for which he said he had
paid a dollar, but would sell them for less.
The gentleman took the books into a drug
store near by to examine them and while
questioning Edwards rather closely regard
ing them, the latter started suddenly and
ran away, but was afterwards arrested by
officers Foley and RyInan.
The books were probably stolen. One is
a copy Of Burns poems, and has written
on the fly leaf, so Howe. From Cousin
Rebecca, 1872, New Years. The other is
entitled "Falstaif and his Companions .
and is handsomely illustrated. They can
be seen at the police station.

day, on the charge of exhibiting curiosities
in the stock line without a license, was dis
missed yesterday upon it being shown that
he had no intention of evadine the law.

leaving his stock in the hands Of another
man, with instructions TO the latter to
exhibit the stock but one day, which or
