The New York Herald claims that "a

is one hundred and twenty columns, of
which seventy eight were advertisements
and fortY-two reading matier. The
Herald says:

power were kept in motion by burning
six tons OF coal in the furnaces. To form
the stereotype plates for the cylinders,
eight tons Of type metal were used to cast
one hundred and isrty-eight plates,
weighing when finished and dressed,
thirty-eight pounds each, The ink on a
single copy would not be taken into OBJ

required seven hundred and twenty-five

7. G. Mulligan, Attorney General for
Sumner county, was in the city yesterday.
The Gdiidtin TeRneSSeeGn says: Maj.
Harry Heiss, who has been managing the
81. Louis Times for two years past, has
severed mis- connection with that paper, and
taken char-e of the NASHVILLE UNION
AND AMERICAN. Maj. HeiSs is a sterling
Democrat in his principles, live and pro-
g~ressive in lis i.els, an energetic, per-
SpicuOus. and graceful writer, well posted
upon the various phases of all the political
questions Of the day, and the relations OF
party thought to them, and in all the de-
tails Of editorial and journalistic duty, and
polite and courteous in his bearing. We
predict that the UNION AND AMERICAN
will advance in usefulness under his COD
trol and management.
Capt. Frank VI. Duffy, formerly Of the
HGrtSriVe (Tean.) TJdette, will shortly
assume editorial charge Of the Franklin
(Kg) Patriot.
The M,uphysborO (IT.) Independent says:
We learn that DR.. 5. II. Bundy, for many
years n resident of Southern Illinois, has
located in the city Of Nashville, Tenn, and

profession, here, as a successful physician
and surgeon, especially as an obStetrician
and is well known all through this portion
Of the State, as a gentleman Of fine culture,
a splendid speaker, and strong, fuen. writer.
We congratulate the people of Nashville,
and especially those engaged in its great
charities, OF the acquisition of so strong
and good q man.

Nashville singers at GAINESVILLE.

From a lengthy notice of the Old Folks
Concert at GAINESVILLE last week, we clip
the following with reference to Nashville
singers:
Mrs. Patton, Mrs. Craig, and Miss
B.. and Mr.. Dorman, Of DUTman's music
| store. and Mr.. French; dealer in sheet
music. at the same house, were our visitors
from Nashville.
The Fishers" by r. Dorman and Mrs.
Craig, was magnificent singing. Mrs. Craig
has a pure soprano voice, flexible and high
IN cultivated, rs sweet rs musical laughing
waters, and clear and faultless. Mr.. Dor
mans voice show high cultivation and
great compass; with music in all its tones.
"Auld Robin Gray by Mrs. Craig in
her glorious voice, was the saddest, sweet
est Of music, and deeply touched the audi
ence. Few can sing ..RObin Gray" well,
and of all the ballads il is the most pathe-
tic. 1t could not have been sung better by
Mrs. Craig, and the wonderful echo song
which showed to such advantage her pow
ers Of voice, followed the stirring encore
after Aud Robin Gray. Ii carried the
audience away. We hope to hear it re-
peated tonight.
The old time ballad of Barbara Allen
descriptive of the pangs of despised love
by Mrs. Patton, was sung i'll good taste in a
soft ballad style, in a clear, distinct tone,
and it was one of the pieces most highly
appreciated by the audience.
The public pronounce it the finest enter
tainment ever given here. The comic
songs carried the audience away. Mrs.
Patton was loudly ~applauded and eneOred
for Barbara Allen, which she responded to
r-oaafIrTv We homo IN baar II ranaafad
tonight, and we know it is the wish of the
public who will not be satisfied unless
they hear Mrs. Patton in Barbara Allen
and Mrs. Craig in the echo song. Mrs.
COuts and Mrs. Patton deserve especially
the thanks of the public for their taste and
energy in getting up this entertainment.
