To.nishrs Lecture and Concert,

The lecture and concert at the First
Presbyterian church tonight will prove
n OF the most interesting entertainments
Of the season. Rev. Frank Moore has but
few rivals as a speaker, and to this lecture
he has gwen a great deal Of time and much
careful preparation. Ii is devoted to a
criticism of American society Of tie pre-
sent day, and a detailing Of the dangers to
be feared theTefrOm.
The lecturer takes the opposite Of the
opinion generally held as to the present
mode Of education, and insists that 1t is
altogether too practical, nOt enough atten-
ton being given 10 mental and aesthetic
culture. lie holds that We, as a nation,
devote too much Of our time to money
making, and that, as the natural result, the
professions and trades are o~vercrowded,
while the arts and sciences are ignored al
most entirely.
The musical portion Of the entertain
ment will be all that can be desired, being
furnished as if is by such singers as Mrs.
Craig, Miss CUrrey, Mrs. Vim. Duncan.
Mis-. Patton, Mrs. Bleniner, and Messrs.
Dorman and Stewart.
The entertainment is given for the pur-
pose of raising a portion of the funds ne
cesSary to defray the heavy expense incurred
i'm repairing tine roof of Moore Memorial
Church. As our readers are aware, this IS
the first call this church HIS made upon the
public. and We trust a hearty response viii
he made, especially as all who may attend
this evening will get value received 70!
their money.

ALL OVER H CITY.

Fifty-iye dollars at the police court yes

Broad street was enIivened by another
fox chase yesterday.
There will be a pigeon shooting match,
near the Race Course, at 3 O'Clock to-mor-
row afternoon.
vii Oden, a colored gamin, was arrest
ed by Officer Skalley yesterday on the
charge of vagrancy.
The passenger trains arriving yesterday
were more densely crowded than usual,
and in consequence the hotels are at pres
ent quite literally patronized.
Oar experience is, that the best way TO
avoid collision or delay on a crowded side
walk, is to keep always tothe right-unleSs
keeping TO the left is found to answer just
as well.
S-tar-gazers find consolation for the disap-
pearanoe of the comet in the change Of the
moon and the brilliant star now keeping
company with the dip corner of that great
iuminaTy.
Candidates for Aldermen and Council
men are beginning TO stir around at a lively
rate among the voters of their wards. The
day of trial is not far distant, and aspirants
seem determined TO make hay while the

Owing TO a strange oversight, we failed
to mention the st. Joseph Total Absti-
nence Society band in our report Of the
which our city is justly proud, took part in
the parade, and presented a splendid ap-
pearance in their new uniform.
1t is a well established fact that decay
ing cabbage, especially in warm weather
emits odOrs not altogether pleasant and not
very limited in extent. A little more care
in this respect on the part Of vegetable
dealers would spare their neighbors the oc-
casional use of explosives bordering on pro
family.

some three hundred pounds attempted the
LIGHT. agile and graceful dance. He chose
tie smallest partner he could find. I'm

There was a band on the music stand,
which PLAYED quadrilles without any
dancers for some time, owing to the known
modesty of the fat people. Through an IN
advised sentiment l was induced to dance

Ke.union of the second Tennessee

Reunion OF tie SeGOnu IenueSsccs
Yesterday was a proud day for Sumner
county, and especially the people Of Gala
tin. II was the second day OF
her Agricultural and Mechanical
Exhibition, and the enc selected by
the survivors of the old Second
Tennessee Infantry Confederate for a re-
union, In order that they might once more
extend To each other the hearty hand clasp,
and indulge for a moment in "reminiscences
of those memorable days of battling, OF
weary marches, of noble deeds, of glorious
victories and Of thousands Of stirring Incl
dents peculiar to the life Of soldier.
The special train did not reach Gallatin
until after l o'clock p. NJ, hence those who
went from this city, were allowed but a
brief stay, as the returning train left Gala
tin at p. NJ, at which time Gen. VIM. b.
| Ba.e, of Nashville, the orator Of the octa-
sion, had but fairly commenced his ad-
dress.
The reunion was largely attended and
| everything passed off in the most s~atisfac-
tory name the citizens Of Gallatin spar
| ing no pains to render the occasion a grand
success.

a MONUMENT TO GEN. ROBERT
HAETON.
Murireesboro Monitor.


The friends Of Gen. Robert Haftou ass
making arrangements 70 erect amOnument
over his remains AZ an early day. This IS
q duty that has been neglected too long al
ready. Owing to the destitute and impOv-
erished condition in which the war left his
family. his remains lie in the cemetery at
Lebanon. with absolutely nothing to mark
the Srot where they repOse, except the little
grass grown mound above them.
As is well known. Rutherford county
was a portion Of the district which he 50
ably and faithfully repres nted in Con-
cress al the breaking ont Of the war.
From his seat in that body he retired to
take command Of the Tth regiment Of Ten
! nesseee volunteers, and, after a years ser
vice rs Colonel. he was constituted q Brga-
der General BY the Confederate Govern
! ment. and on the same day that he received
his commission as such, lie fe!l while lead
| inc his brigade through the hottest part Of
the hard-contested battlefield IF Seven
Pines. in Virginia. One who knew him
well writes: Il honestly believe
that he was the nObleSt speci-
men of the Tennessee soldier that
went into the late war" HUnircls OF
| men. in this county, vino absolutely loved
the man while living, to-day reverence
and almost adore the memory "f the
dead hero. Knowing this fact, the commit
| tee. having the matter in charge, have Te-
auested Capt. Richard D5ard. one Of the
! earliest members Of his old regiment, to
receive any contributions that the friends
of Gen. HattOn may see proper 10 glve to-
ward the erection Of his monument. This
is no begging enterprise. No personal so
licitatioDs will be made, but al. who dc
sire, freely and voluntarily to DO ST., eau
hand their contributions To Capt. Beard,
who will take p~leasere in forwarding them,
| with the names Of the donors, to the COM
| mittee, az Lebanon.
