A STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.
Our Educational Interests Demand
Such an InsGifutiOu-The Livest Com.
muDity will secure Its Location.

The project of establishing a State Nor
nal School, for the education and training
of teachers, has been long under cOnsidera-
ton by the Tennessee State Teachers As
ISOLATION, and by many friends of popular
education not connected with that body.
The school interests of Tennessee now de-
mand such an institution more imperative
ly than ever. At a recent meeting of the
Executive Committee and officers OF the
State Teachers Association, the undersign-
ed were appointed a committee to receive
from the different towns and communities
desiring the location of such school, pro
pOsals of donations of lands, buildings, fur
niture or funds, for the establishment and
maintenance of such State Normal School,
in connection with such aid as may be re-
ceived from the Peabody fund and the
State, for the support of a faculty for the
same. Communications should be adj
dressed TO JnO. NJ. Fleming, State Superin-
tendent, prior to the 18th of January next.

Very Badly Needed.

The following very sensible suggestions
are offered by tine Springfield Record of
yesterday:
''If those who have the authority would
give Springfield an accommodation train,
this end of the St. Louis and Southeastern
Railroad would pay ten times as much as
il now does. We want a train To pass
Springfield about o'clock A. NJ, and re-
turn about 4 or o'clock. This train
might be run between Nashville and Hop
kinsville. Ii mas been long time since
we have had anything like accOmmOda-
tons at this end of our road, and the re-
suit is that but few travel on it. There is
TO question as II its paying. Mr.. Shep
herd, former superintendent of the road,
looked after the local trade of the road,
whether he made any other connections or
not. The result was that the road paid
handsomely. Every month it met its
Liabilities promptly and kept a large force
keeping it in good repairs. Let us have
this accommodation by all means.

SALE OF A NOTED FOUR-IN-HAND
TEAM
I.nnisrille Conrier-.IonrnaI. Dec. b

Louisville COurier-JOurnal, Dec. g.
DIR. l.. p Blackburn has sold his mag
nificent four-hOrse team-AstrOnOmer, Star
gazer, Blaz.ng-star and Comet to Mr..
Reed, of San Francisco, for large sum.
This team is said to be the finest in
America; indeed, when on exhibition at
the St. Louis Fair, last October Gen.
Grant said TO DIR. Blackburn that lie be-
Ieged it to be the finest fOur-in-hand team
in the world. At this Fair the team car
ried away all the premiums for
which it was exhibited, and attracted
more attention and admiration than any
team has ever done in the West. The four
horses are brothers, very much alike in APP
pearance, and, together, make as stylish
and striking a show as a man may see in
many long day. Ii is stated thar an offer
had been made for them by Gen. Richard
Taylor, Of Louisiana, and several other
American gentlemen, as present for the
Prince of Wales, from'whom they had re-
ceived many attentions, while on a recent
Eip to Europe.

This gentleman was greeted With an
audience at the Bspts>t Church in Edge

feel proud. The close attention and
frequent applause fully attested The keen
appreciation Of the speakers merits. The
lecture had delightful effect. As an in
tellectual production it shows thought and
the most careful preparation, icing replete
with the finest touches Of wit and humor
sparkling with gems of fancy and adorned
with pleasing creations of the imagination
and yet eminently practical and instruc.
tive. His satire and irony are particular
happy, and his delivery easy, graceful and

the highest figures of the day. Thursday, with
paratvely light transactions, it was apparent
that prices were sustained more BY show Of
anxiety to buy than by real buying, and
after o'clock it gave way from apparently no
other cause than sheer exhaustion, closing at the
lowest points of the day. Friday brought with its
opening q steader feeling. and Tor short time a
fractional advance was sustained, only to be fol-
lowed by break later in the day, leaving the mar
ket at the close not far rom the figures OF tuesday
night for the general list The market for the week,
comparing the closing prices to-day with those OF
last Saturday, shows decline ranging from to 81
