"WOOD WANTED"
Discovery Of a DeeP-Iaid and Frisht-
full Plot.


full Plot
SedaliA neplOerat.
To show how low and degraded country
journalism has become, We cite this fact:
Thirty years ago all these newspaper fiends
went into eahooi, and started papers for the
simple purpose of laying up enormous
amounts OF wood. For this purpose every
country paper put this notice at the head
OF its local column;
"Wo0p WANTED.-We will take wood
for subscription for this paper. Bring on
your wood
Yes, .'bringon your wood" Mark that
Now, what are these rascals doing?
Why, they have been running newSpS-
pers for wood until they have got all the
wood in the country in their own hands.
And now wood is up-they've made cor
ner in it.
"But," the reader will ask, y'ghere is
their market What good viii it do

wood in the country into their own hands,
what do they do? Why, they 20 to work.

,i2pJ They know perfectly well, just a.
soon as cremation becomes q part Of Amer
lean politics, every man will be trying it
Gu his mOtbeT-In-law and wife's relations.
And wood will go up to 500 cord. Every
one Of these fiends will have this advertise
ment on one side Of their paper:
TO CRENATIONISTS.
Ter million cords of the best hickory,
old and dry, just the thing for burning your
dear ones in the quickest time possible
Old exchanges, for Ending, thrown in

lhen these country editors will be rolling
in wealth, instead of glue and molasses, and
they wouldn't no more think Of exchanging
with you than running patent outside.
All, this is deep laid plot!

THE little son of an ex-Chief of Police
In Terre Haute, recently suggested TO his
father that he might produce a desirable
change in their domestic arrangements by
marrying, and even went so far as to sug-
gest the lady he would like for step
mother. Prompt in all his movements, the
sx-Uhiel sought the lady, told her what
his son had suggested, and intimated his
desire to crafty his sons wish in the mat
ter. The lady heard with respect, then
awakened her little daughter, before whom
she laid the whole subject. received the
daughters consent to the arrangement and
then gaze her OFn: the wedding took
place the next day.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.
The Evangelical Alliance Conference
of IS73


History, Essays, Orations and other publ,sa-
tons of the Sixth General Conference OF the
Evangelical Alliance, held in New York, OctO-
Der PIP, ls73;..edited by Rev. Philip Schaff ID.
D., and Rev. S. Ireneus Prime, ID. D.; Harper
& Bros, publishers, New York.
In some respects, the Conference of the
Evangelical Alliance in New York last
October, was one Of THO most Important re-
ligiOus events OF the time. About one
hundred men from numerous parts of the
world, eminent for learning, ability and
worth, holding high rank OH theology,
philosophy, science and literature were thus
brought together, with the richest fruits of
their labor, and animated by common i'm
pulse to contribute each his part to the
power and usefulness of the Alliance. The
ESSAYS and addresses which compose this
volume Of seven hundred and seventy
three pages, discussing almost every i'm
pVrtant theological, religious and moral
question of the age, weie eagerly listenep
to from morning till night for three con-
secutfve days, by thousands Of sympathiz-
ing hearers, when the financial panic was
at its height, and then were multiplied,
through secular and religious papers, among
millions of readers. 1t is safe to say that
the utterances of a religious assembly
were never received with more pro
found respect by so great a num-
Der of attentive minds. For this rea-
son, as we as with view to embrace the
proceedings of the Conference in volume
that would be accessible 10 Christians
wherever His name is known. the dis
tinguished scholars mentioned on the title
page were selected to edit the papers
presented and arrange them for publication
in permanent form. That they have per-
formed this task with scrupulous care and
admirable taste will hardly be questioned
by the reader. The volume should have
place in the library not only of every Chris
tian minister, no matter what creed he
breaches, but also Of every person interest
ed in watching the religious progress Of the
world. 1t can be obtained of w. 7. Berry

.,Tn,eres,ing Diyorce Case.

The Law OuIt had under consideration
Yesterday divorce case which drew to-
sether a large crowd of spectators. 1t was
, case of a wife against husband, both OF
wlom are quite adsanced in life and well
and fasorably known in Davidson county;
They have six children, three sons and
three daughters, all OF whom appeared IN
,Ia trial as witnesses. The testimony of
.be daughters was favorable 10 the plaintiff,
while tbar of the sons was favorable TO the
defendant. Both parties 10 the suit proved
la. best Of characters. Out of mortlhcI-
ton. the defendant refused to appear IN
lurt and was represented by attorney.
The evidence tended strongly to show
that the suit had grown out of want OF
congeniality, and in order to give time for
a reconciliation between the litiSantS,
Judge Guild suspended decision in the
case.

WHO ARE THEY!
A Cow Stable Fired by Migrants.

Cow bIabIe fired by Na&rants.
At I:l0 this morning an alarm of ure was
sounded, caused by the burning of cow
stable in the rear of No. 90 South High
street, and owned by Mr.. Charles Martin.
There were two cows and calves in the
stable, but they were all removed without
injury. The building was entirely de-
Stroyed, but the loss is trifiing.
1t is supposed that the stable was fired
by party of rowdy boys, who have occu-
pied it as a sleeping apartment for more
than a week past, leaving the building at
an early hour each morning. A wees ago
Mr.. Martin said he would get after them
some night and clear them out of the build
ing, but this resolution be had not carried
into effect.
