Thursday nishtTTt Franklin Hair; was acted the pirable of the Ten Vir-g'ns, a sacrel drnma. Ten young ladies from Nashville personated the vergins.

Their costumes were gotten up with much taste, and in their performance they ahow much careful training. It is a perilous attempt to dramatize a parable of the Master: the leaon conveyed is so impressive, the parable itself so simple, so that it is a task of exquisite taste to elaborate it. The first scene represented the outer chamber of an eastern dwelling, at)l the Virgins enter to the music of the Wedding March. The opening chorus, "Behold the Bridegroom cometh," was. well performed and showed some fine voices well trained.

Then followed solos by Brave Heart, Love-the-World and PiausibleT. Growing weary whle the Bridegroom they choose Lovc-the-World queen "and commit to her judgment the direction of their amusements. queenly taste then furnished 1 the audience as Cd attention tb Stock of Domestic Goods, which will be found complete and desirable.

Ir it "has not already been done, we tVinV, it a good idea for the Grangers to agree among themselves upon sy-iem for reclaiming their exhausted field, looking to economy, as an important condition As far as we can learn fro reading and refection, next Ut a liberal application of fertilizers, ha best system is that of turning un-ier green crops. I' or instance: Plant the field in rye, about the first of September, that it may take root before eold weather, graze it during the win-terj liok'Es the' growth is too'foeble, turn it under about the of June, and sow upon it a crop rt stock peas; this throughly plowed under, ths first ofSe ptember, will leave the fieldin good condition for a crop of wheat and clover. The advantage of this process are that the rye if well set, will afford profitable grazing up to the latter part of March, and then attain growth of a foot or more, by the first of June. Turned under will be thoroughly decomposed by the time the peas are ready to be ploughed under, and these, in fern, will jot by the time the wheat sb.oi.lA. ha The two distinct crops, thus ploughed under, will add a greater variety of plant to the soil than either separately and if the process has sufficiently fertilized the field for a healthy growth ''of clover, the work of regeneration maybe left, for completion, to the fertilizing qualities of.

clover, aided by judicious rotation of The cost is light compared with the annual purchase of fertilizers, though the" progress of regeneration may be hastened by their application' a. J. A.

It is made the duty of-the Grand Jury by law, to examine and report the condition of the county jail.

The following is the report submitted -To (he Hon. C. W. Tyl Jiulge We, the Grand urora respectfully report to your Honor, that after a thorough investigation of the jail and examination' of the subject, we recommend that in view of the fact that the building is a very old one and very insecure and that the patching and repairing absolutely necessary now, would have to be repeatedly done, and would, pot be much improvement and further that the rooms are so that males and females cannot be kent apart but in separate cages in the same room, and at times they cannot be kept in different cages but altogether. We therefore, recommend that if the county could unite with the city and build a work house and tail jointly, it would be greatly to the in terest ot tue county to do it, and it would also be a step in the cause of humanity.

Respectfully submitted, D. Dick, a Foreman; The Nashville American says: "A change will be -made shortly in the Dickson; county mail routes. The route to Charlotte will be changed, running from Dickson Station instead of White Bluff, as heretofore.

Some of these pieces were well, very well, executed. a While," a poem by Prudence, was good and well delivered. Faint Heart was then required by her Majesty to sing "Eve's Lamentation" on leaving Eden, and acquitted herself well. And so the time passed under the gentle sway of Loye-the-World until she invited them to a banquet when rebellion came. Prudence, JBrave Heart and Timidity refused to join them and are banished from her royal presence.

Here we had the first tableau, the Protest. The banquet was celebrated by seven, two of the wise virgins remaining, Little Faith and Faint Heart The scene at table was varied by drinking song and riddle, and was closed with the tableau. The Bjanquet Scene third exhibited all the Virgins lulled to sleep by charmers invoked by Queen Love-the-World, from which they were awaked by the Herald announcing the coming of the Bridegroom. Then follows a scene of great hurry and confusion. The Wise Virgins arise, trim their lamps and go forth to meet the Bridegroom.

The Foolish Virgins try to borrow of the Wise but cannot and have to go and buy. fL The Bridegroom eomes, the Wise enter with him and the Foolish return just as the door is closed, only getting a' brief glance at the magnificent scene within. They abandon themselves to despair. They apply for adm'si'oa, but are answered from within; "Too late, too late, ye cannot enter now' and the curtain falls on the impressive tableau "Despair." The tableaux were all very beautiful. The very large audience seemed to enjoy the performance.

The delicacy of the task of dramatizing this parable is extreme. Not only literary taste must not be offended, but ihe more sacred tastes of the religious mind must not be wounded. The peerless beanty of the Master's work must not be marred. may safely say that the performance offended the religious feeling less than the literary iaste. Drama is hardly an appropriate name for it Drama is a word of high Jm-port, and calls to mind such names as Shakespeare, Addison and a host of others.

Prof. Legare, T. II. Hyman, Dr. Larkin, and Mr.

Nailer, of this city, went on board of the Silver Spring to a point near Sailr or's Rest to spend the day in duck hunting. When preparing to return, Mr. Armstrong, the engineer of the boat, noticed the irregular running of the wood-saw, and attempting to regu late it, while in motion, was struck on the left hand, severing it nearly through the center from the back, the saw making not one but three cuts quite through the third and fourth bones, dividing them as well as the palmer arch, from which Mr. Arm strong would have bled to death but for the presence and prompt action of Dr. Larkin, who, without instruments arrested the hemorrhage We learn that Mr.

Armstrong is doing well. Knoxvillk Tribune. About the 18th of March next Messrs. J. Fleming and Sam.
