Her Triumphant Entry into the Port
Of Nashville.

The ct. T. Hillmau," the new steamer
built at Plducah, Ky, for Joseph and Doc

afternoon, with sold Joe" on the hurricane
roof. She left Paducdh at Q o'clock last

Doc Ambrose and a number Of his
friends got in yaWl yesterday, with a
small cannon, aud went down the river
some seven miles to meet her. After get
ting aboard they kept up lively cannon
ade till reaching town. Her trip proved
entirely satisfactory, and the Captain and

WHEAT.
Condition Of the Crop and Status of
the Market,

the Market.
a Nashville firm sent six samples OF
wheat to ST. Louis a few days ago to ascer.
tain what could be had for it. We were
shown yesterday the answer received from
the merchant there, who had the samples
inspected. Most Of them graded No. 4,
one or two coming up TO No. 3. The letter
continued: From the appearance of sam
pies from your section we fear your crops
must be materially damaged by the con
tinued Tains.n
The notion was generally entertained
yesterday, after the appearance of
wheat threshsd since the wet spell, coy
ering the interval from the 9th to the 18th
inst, that the damage from rain was not as
great as was at first supposed. That ar
irving yesterday was of good quality and
in good cOnditiOn-meaniDg by that eX-
preston "dry." Of course there had been
damage, it was said, but the quantity of
wheat which had passed through unstfect-
ed altogether, would exceed any ordinary
crop. Allthe farmer had to do 10 realize
upon his crop handsomely was to keep the
sound from the sprOuting by thTeshing
separately.
a reporter was told by a gentleman from
st. Louis, that the fields Of wheat in the
vicinity .0Iat place were in the same pre-
dicament that those south Of the Ohio were
a short time agO-Tipe and falling down
and sprOuting under heavy rains, which
prevent the cutting.
The effect Of the general rains has been
10 buoy the markets, especially those of st.
Louis and Chicago. Ours las strengthened
considerably, and will afford lively move
ment, doubtless, as soon as the farmers are
ready.

ADaring DayIIght Robberx

High street, a short distance south Of
Broad, was the scene yesterday of a most
audacious robbery from the person. Two
young ladies, Misses Wharton and McLe-
more, were walking side by side, and Miss
Wharton had some small bundles of goods,
and in one hand purse containing 50.
They were met by a negro man, quick
witted for villiany, who instantly snatched
the purse and ran off through an alley.
An officer was informed Of the fact. but
to 10 purpose, as the scoundrel could not
be found from the description the young
ladies were able TO give.

Scott Bryant, COIOred, Loses His Res.
idenee, Wheat Crop and a Child i'm
the Flames.
The light mentioned as having been seen
from this Office about IL o'clock Saturday
night, was caused by the burning Of the
residence and smOkehOuse of Scott Bryant,
cOlOred, situated neer the old Lebanon
road, about eight miles from the city.
There was no one on the premises at the
time, except a child of Bryant's, about four
years old. The parents had locked it up
in the dwelling and gone off to church.
The first persons to reach the scene were
a crowd Of fox hunters. They got there
only little before Bryant and his folks.
The houses were part frame and part log,
were burning rapidly and falling in. As
the timbers Crumbled in, the corpse of the
child was discovered Just inside the front
door, as if it had gone there to get out
when the FIRE first started.
The Smoke-hOuse contained Bryant's
wheat, all of which, together with the
house, were totally destroyed. Scarcely
anything was left. The owner was one Of
the few OF his race who are well-tO-dO.
About three weeks ago be had a child
burned to death in handling coal oil.

OPEN.AIR MEETINGS.
The Sunday Evening LabOrs Of the
Y. VI. &. A.

Y. VI. &. A.
The open-air meetings Of the Young
Mems Christian Association are getting to
be objects Of general remark. They are
designed to reach that class OF persons who
never 90 to church (nDt those who seldom
60, like newspaper men). Members Of the
Association are appointed to conduct them
usually a leader and two assistants.
These parties generally take an
organ into an express wagon and
drive to the place where the
meeting is TO be held at the appointed
hour. Here the organ is taken from the
wagon and placed upon the ground
and music commenced. If a crowd be not
already present, one Is not long collecting.
The listeners sea- themselves about on the
curbing, fences, steps, or boxes, while res
idents in the neighborhOOd hoist their win
dOwS and look On-all intent upon the
novel spectacle seemingly with a so
bered kind Of curiosity. The
attention paid is respectful and
unWearying and no doubt good impressions
are received. Besides the singing of several
pieces Of music, prayer is offered AMI a
short exhOrtatiOn or two made by the lead
er and one of his assistants. So far, we
believe the chOirs are made up exclusively
Of male voices. The young men who are
enlisted are not satisfied with this, and
expect to try to induce some Of the young
ladies to 90 out to the meetings with them
and participate.

WANTED IN ST. LOUIS.
Where Daniel =. Milne Got Those Kid
GIOyes-His Services Needed Here n
While Longer.


Last Thursday officer Walter Cavert ar
rested a man named Daniel 5. Milne on the
charge Of peddling without license. In the
Police Court on the following morning he
was fined $50, aud failing to fork over that
amount was sent to the CIk-hOuse.
Milne had in his possession several dozen
Of genuine Alexandra kid gloves, and be Of
fered to sell them at something less than
half their market price. This led Captain
Yater to believe that the gloves had been
stolen, and he at once set to work to find
out their owner.
Sending a description Of Milne with let
terry Of inquiry TO a number Of cities, he
ascertained that the gloves had been stolen
from VIM. Barr q Co., one Of the largest
dry goods firms Of st. Louis. Milne then
acknowledged to Capt. Yater that he had
been employed in this house, and had
stolen the gloves from the establishment.
Officer Frazier, of St. Louis, arrived here
yesterday and made application for the
prisoner.
The fine Of $50 was imposed by Judge
Duling for selling goods without license.
The Judge says Milne cannot be taken
away from the city till he works out the
fine, which will be little over two months

A july FLOOD.
The Cumberland Rivers Unpreee-
denied Freak


By the gauge at the upper wharf, the
river was tweEty-nine and half feet above
low water mark yesterday a. 5 P. N. Il
had fallen an inch or two. Many old citi-
zens remarked that they never before knew
the Cumberland to reach that stage IN
July.
The rise must have been the result Of
water-spOuts 10 the river, since the oessa-
tion Of rains at this place. A gentleman
from Rome, a small town on the river, fifty
or sixty miles above Nashville, arrived in
the city yesterday and reported that a great
deal Of damage to the crops had been
caused by baCk-water, submeI gIng fields Of
wheat and corn along creeks near where
they empty into the river. He himself had
a field Of corn six feet under water. But
there had been a subsistence of seven inches
before his departure for Nashville.
