NURFREEsBORo, Tenn, June 8, 1870
Since last writing TO you, our "little city,
has not been stirred up about anything Of
much consequence. Our military company
continue to practice the eyolutiOns Of sol
diers, and are making fine progress in that
profession.

since Monday, Judge Marks presiding.
The various schools of our town are now
carrying on their examinations and COM

close to-day, and the Female Seminary
closes its present session on next Thursday

The iirst session Of the school at SOule
Female College, under the charge Of DR..
j. B. West, ended last night with a grand
entertainment in the way Of music and es
says. The entertainment from beginning
10 the end was fine, and could not be easily
improved upon, and the exercises through
out showed careful training and skillful
teaching. The following young ladies took
part in the entertainment: Misses Helen
Baskette, Alice Beard, Lizzie Cooley, Ella
Childress, Lizzie Duiler, Willie DromgOOle,
Rowe Eakin, Matte Frost, Sallie Hughes,

Hope" s'The Reveries of a School Girl"
was the subject Of Miss Wenders essay.
All Of the essays showed careful training
in composition and thorough understand

The community Of MurfreesbOrO are
deeply indebted to DR.. West for securing
the services Of such excellent teachers as
Misses S. E. Yerby, Sallie Hughes, Annie
Hughes, Vie. Dryden, Abbie Speer, Jennie
A. McElWee and Belle DromgOOle.
IL was really a treat to see the many
specimens which the art department Of the
institution furnished, consisting Of paint
ings, drawings, wax flowers and specimens
Of embroidery, all Of which were executed
with a skill that it seemed impossible to
surpasS.
Among the many pleasant instances Of
the evening was the presentation by DR..
West Of a medal offered by Miss McElwee,
vocalist, to the young lady in her class
making the most improvement in singing.
Miss Helen Baskette was the successful
singer, it being decided that she had. made
the most marked progress in that art. After
the presentation Of the medal, DR.. West
awarded the diplomas, which concluded the
entertainment, l., PRIVATE.

HARD ON THE CRUSADERS.

An important judicial decision was rem
dered Saturday in the thousand dollar
damage case Of Mr.. Dunn against the Hills
borO Crusaders. The jury found for
Dunn, with nominal damages at five dol
lars. The value of the damages is, that
they throw the costs upon the defendants
and the costs amount TO sixteen hundred
dollars. This decision will probably settle
the question whether persons with certain
moral ideas shall be allowed to cCerCe their
Deighbor holding to a different opinion, by
Surveillance over his private business, and
by spying into his personal habits.

Our attention has been called to the new
marble shop of N. Karins, on Church and
Vine streets, where we noticed most beau
tiful pieces Of work with raised shield and
raised inscription. This design is original,
and the work is artistic. Mr.. Karins
showed us several very nice Jobs lately
gotten up, and sold within the last few
days. This speaks well for our new conner

FIRES CAUSED By SOLAR HEAT.
Pail Mall Gazette.


Two incidents nave Just occurred which
more than suggest that some mysterious"
fires may have their origin in the action of
the sun on glass. a few days ago the mas
ter Of the Volunteer steam tug in Plym-
Outh Sound found that q large hole had
been burned in the centre Of the covering
Of his berth, and that the FIRE had pene
trated to the bed itself, which was smoking.
1t was then discovered that this resulted
from the concentration Of the suns rays
by the glass dead lights" in the side
of the vessel. The grounds Of a new man
sion at Paignton are entered through gates
richly Gilt and OTnamented. To protect
them temporarily they were covered with
canvass. On Sunday afternOOd this cover
log was found to be on fire and was burned.
one of the lamps above being broken by the
heat. All ordinary theories Of the causes
Of fire failed to account for this one, and it
was discovered thai the glObular lamps Of
the gate concentrated the solar rays and d.
rected them on the spot where the canvas
had been, and thus doubtless OccasiOned
the fire.

MUSICAL CELEBRITIES.
AIbanf.
London Times, May 3.

London Times, May ,.
On Saturday night the opera was "RigO-
letto," in which Mile. Albani, as the limo
cent, unhappy Gilda, confirmed the imIres-
sious she made last season and the season
before last. 4 fresh description Of her per
Torrance is not required. To say that it
has still further improved is saying good
deal, but not too much. 1t
is an ideal embodiement Of the
character, touching in its simplicity, yet
impassiOned in those movements where a
strong display of emotion is required by
the situation, and everywhere true TO ma
ture. The uuetts with RigOlettO and the
Duke disguised as the student, Walter
MOlde), so opposite in character, were
equally effective; and the sOlilOquy, "Caro
nome" where Gilda dwells with lingering
tenderness on the nome and re-
membrance of her unknown lover,
was given throughout with genuine
musical feeling. The pathetic scene with
RigOlettO. in the palace Of the Duke, showed
to admirable advantage the dramatic power
which, season after season, becomes more
remarkably exemplified in the assumptions
Of the young Canadian, whose every con-
spicuous effort was greeted with the warm
est tribute Of applause.
WAGNER.
Berlin Correspondence London News.
Wagners person is so familiar to most of
us that have no need TO attempt any des-
criptiOn of him. l was struck, however,
bv his curious resemblance to NJ. Theirs,
as the latter used TO look twenty years
ago. The selections given at his two
concerts were quite new to the greater
part of the audience, having been only once
previously performed before a Viennese
public. They consisted of fragments from
the third Just completed portion of the
great trilogv, which will be performed for
the first time as a whole next year in
Baireuth. The pieces present all
the usual characteristics Of the school
of the future, with its beauties aud
its shortcomings, and aided by admirable
execution, produced a very striking effect.
At the close it seemed as if the public
would never part frOm its favorite, for every
time that he moved toward the door he was
called back with frantic applause to the
front of the platform.
STRAUSS.
London AtheneUm, May
Herr Johann Strauss, eldest son Of the
famed dance composer, has met with signal
success at the Renaissance, in Paris, witt.
his three-act opera bOuffe, La Refine Indigo
1t was originally produced in Vienna
some four or five years since, and
Herr Strauss subsequently was for
tuuate with three other comic |
operas, Of which 'CagliOstro,' was the last. |
Ii seems that it was NJ. Ofenbach who ad- |
vised Herr Strauss to compose operas, being |
struck with the vein OfmelOdy shown in his |
dance compositions. Indigo, in Vienna,
had the supplementary title Of the Forty |
Thieves but the story had no reference to |
Ali Bahia. The libTetto does not aid the |
composer much; it has some resemblance to |
the sItaliana in Algeri'' of ROssini. The |
music, however, quite delighted the Pa |
risians, who enco7ed several numbers. |
The cast included Mdlle. Zulma Boufar, |
Mdlle. Alphonsine, MN. Puget and Vau-
thier.
