A south nashville Girl Attempts Sui
eide.
A few days since girl residing in South
Nashville purchased a quantity Of l&uda-
NUN, and swallowed enough of it to soon
put larger aud more robust person beyond
the influence Of the sorrows and cares of
this life. Her mother, however, suspected
something wrong, and upon making in
quiry, discovered that the former had pur-
chased some poison, whereupon with a
promptness which cannot be too highly
commended, she stirred a dose of snuff
into a cup of tea and forced her daughter
TO swallow the mixture. The result was
that poison once more appeared to human
view, and the life of the would-be sui
cidess was spared-let us hope to many
years of usefulness.
1t is stated that the girl was impelled to
her rash act in consequence of an unfortu-
nate termination Of a love affair in which
she became involved.

Knoxville Press and Herald, Sept. q.
Sometime during the year 1865, a party
of three men went to the house of a citizen
named Philip Bell, in this county, about
eight miles from the city, for the purpose
of robbery. Mr.. Bell resisting, they
commenced beating him, when a
daughter threw herself in front of her
father, when one Of the robbers fred
a pistol shot which entered the girls tenn
pie and stretched her lifeless across her
fathers body. The citizens of the neigh
borh cd turned out in pursuit 6f the muir
derers, and one of them being captured,
paid for the deed with his life. The others,
among whom was the one who is said to
have fired the pistol shot, managed TO make
their escape and were never heard Of till a
few days ago, when the latter, who Is
named Pryor Coleman, was arrested in
Bradley county, and after trial before a
magistrate, was committed to the Knox
county Jail, and arrived here yesterday in
charge of the officers Of the law, and was
placed in jail to await trial in the Crimi-
nal Court.

ing the first field trial ever held in the
United States under the manage
ment of an organized body, it is
determined to make il thorough,
complete and interesting in its every
feature. The bench show of settlers and
pointers will be the means of attraction to
a Feeders of fine dogs. Perhaps the most
interesting and exciting feature Of this ex-
hibition will be the field trials of pointers
and settlers, the prize being an elegant sill
yer service. I he shooting tournament will
collect C, ack shots from different parts of
the country, as the prizes amount TO one
thousand and seventy-fve dollars in cash.
