large audience was in attendance at Fords
Opcra-lIouse last night to witness the latest New
York success, entitled The Guv'nor." This farci-
cal comedy, as 1t is called, has enjoyed most
extraordinary run ut Walack's Theatre, and after
witnessing II last night we can readily under.
stand why II has become so popular. 1t has an
abundance Of fun, pure and simple, and the curl
ous misunderstanding thnt arise during the play
enhance the ubsurditics and cause the most in.
tense merriment. Thcmost decidedly drawn char
acer Is that of the old boat builder Theodore ldc.
cefeld sr, which Is cxcellently sustained by Mr..
Curley. His makeup, expression, and action are
all in perfect consonance with the character, and
his expression Yer and, Guv'nor yer and" will
become rs much used in Washington as 1t has been
in New York.
The hereof the play is Freddy Buneyscoich, who Ia
q young man who affects rowing, and who is af-
ilictcd with decidedly comic habit of stammer-
ing. Mr.. Barton lIil who is well known us one of
the most brilliant light comedians upon the stage
showed by his rendition of this part that he had
made II n thorough study, and 1t Is one which will
increase his reputation. His interview with the
boat.builder, in which he proposed for his daugh-
tcrS hand, was one of the most irrcgisibly comic
scenes that has been witnessed for q long time
All the characters are well sustained. especially
those assumed by Misses Cameron, Rich, Mngnus
and Thompson, and Nessrs. Hogandorp, keenan,,
This play should be greeted by full houses at
every performance.

Our GAINESVILLE artist, Mr.. Shack
elford, has recently finished por
trait which cannot fail to be of int
crest to old readers of the CHRoNI-
Gle. 1t is portrait Of r. w. Thorn.
as, Esq, formerly editor of this pa.
per,
In counterfeit presentment, as he lived.
This painting is taken immmedi-
ately from photograph, but the ex-
preston, complexion, etc., are large
ly derived from the artists personal
recolIections of his subject, with
whom he had an intimate acquaint-
ance. 1t is one of the best, as well
as of the most interesting portraits
which Mr.. s. has produced here,
and many OF the friends of told
Bob" as he was familiarity styled,
will think, when they see it, that
their old friend has returned to life
again.
Mr.. Shackelford has also painted
excellent likenesses of Mr.. A. r.
Hall and of his son. The studio of
this artist is always worthy of a
visit.

Religions Insanity.

A shocking case of murder under
the influence of mental derange-
ment occurred on the south-side last
week. A family of negroes, con-
sisting of Dan Lyle, his wife and
his sister Susan Coleman, had been
attending some of the tumultuary
revivals SO common among the coll
ored race, and symptoms of insanity
were developed out of the excite
ment fostered at these meetings.
They would gain possession Of
churches, driving out the regular
congregations and then keep up
their rawlings for hours.
For some time they refused adj
mission to their house to anyone,
and at last one of the children
escaping from the house gave such
an alarming account that Constables
Ramey and Saunders were dis
patched to arrest the parties. The
negro struck at Saunders with an
axe, fortunately striking hiIn only
with the handle; but he was weak
ened with the blow so as to be COM
PEELED to retire. 1t was soon found
that the arrest could not be made
without serious conflict, which,
under the circumstances, it was
deemed best to avoid, and they re-
tired. They then sent for Sheriff
Moseley and police officer Morrison,
who made the arrest. The negro
had been slightly wounded in the
previous conflict. On entering the
cabin the two younger children,
aged respectfully three and seven,
were found dead with their necks
broken. The negroes are now con-
fined in Jail, and, we presume, will |
shortly become inmates of the luna
tic asylum.

A friendly discussion of a subject
interesting to the community is ben
eficial, and the columns of the
CHRONICLE are free to such discus
sion. We make this remark be-
cause of the interest in our public
schools developed by the action of
the school board and articles on the
question of grades in our schools,
which have appeared in our col
umns. But we must not in the
meantime neglect the outside ap-
pearance of our buildings and
grounds. We have large, impOs-
ing and elegant school building.
We have a large fine lot surround
ing that building. These grounds
need improving. Located on a
high point, a good deal of grading
Is needed, and in a short time will
be absolutely necessary. The lot
should be graded, grass should be
sown, trees set, and pavements
laid. To put the front in the con-
dition above indicated, would re-
quire some 5000 or $500, and when
put in such condition, no public
building and grounds in the state
would present handsomer appear
ance. The school fund is not sufi-
cient to keep the teachers paid up
and do the work. These premises
belong to the city, and every citi-
zen has an interest in them. Will
the city appropriate a portion of
the necessary funds, say 500, the
citizens, BY private subscription,
would raise the balance. Let us
hear from public-spirited citizens.

The GOOde Case.

Several years ago E. o. Goode, a
young man from Virginia, in search
of employment, came to Tennessee
and became a brakeman in the ser
vice of the Louisville & Nashville
railroad company. AT Erin, soon
after his employment, while coup
ling two freight-cars, one of which
was loaded with telegraph poles,
which extended some IA inches over
the end of the car, he was struck by
one of the poles and killed. Mr..
H. G. Merritt qualified as his adj
ministrator and brought suit for
damages, claiming that through
negligence of the company in load
ing the train with the poles extend
ing over the end OF the car, and not
having a long link with which to
couple this car 10 the next, his in
testate GOOde was killed. The rail-
road company denies liability and
says that the cars were loaded in
the Usual way, and could be coupled
with perfect safety to the brakeman
if he used ordinary care in perform
ing his duty. These are, in brief,
the grounds for recovery and the
defense. This case was tried at the
January term of the circuit court,
and resulted in a verdict for plain
tiff for $4,000. The company
moved for new trial; and it is
said by those who heard him that
Judge Lurton, for a new trial, made
one of the most able arguments of
his life.I The court granted new
trial, and the cause was taken up
Monday for a second trial, Gen. w.
B. Bate and Messrs. Merritt and p.
G. johnson representing the plaint-
III, and Messrs. Smith x Lurton and
Quarles d Daniel for the defense.
Interesting testimony, especially
expert testimony, has been intro
duced, and a fine field for the able
speakers has been opened.
Since writing the above, the trial
has resulted in a verdict for $l2,5O0
damages. A motion for new trial
has been entered.

On Sunday morning last, the Ju-
niOr local OF this paper boarded the
steamer G. w. Anderson for Nash
vile. We found quite a number of
passengers already on board, and
some eight or ten more were added
to that number from this place. We
left here about o'clock a. M, and
commenced taking on passengers at
Edmondson's ferry, and continued
to do so every few miles until we
left Ashland city after night. As a
matter of course the ladies occupied
all the state-rooms, leaving the men
to choose between a cOrn-saclk aud
the cabin floor. We chose the lat
ter but did very little sleeping. We
arrived at Nashville Monday morn
ing about daylight, and proceeded
in company with several ladies and
gentlemen to the private boarding
house of DR.. J. III. Mallory, where
we were warmly welcomed by him
and his Rmiable lady. After par
taking Of a sumptuous breakfast,
we proceeded to attend to the bust
ness which had taken us to that city
In our travels we paid our respects
to Messrs. Roberts and Jones, of the
American; Messrs. Clark and Bell
Of the Banner, and Mr.. B. M. Hord
of the Dixie Farmer, to all of whom
we are indebted for courtesies ex-
tended to US.
In the afternoon we visited the
exposition, and spent a couple Of
hours very pleasantly. We will |
not attempt a description. of what |
we saw, but suffice it to say that the
building is now complete and is
crowded with the works of art,
mechanism, ETC., and the visitor is
well repaid for the time and money
spent in its inspection. Let all who
visit Nashville go to the centennial.
We boarded the train at o'clock
that same evening, and arrived at
GAINESVILLE at 7:23 and was at our
post early Tuesday morning, ready
to receive all the money that is due
us.
