Sam. Cbilders was requested to take it in and keep it until morning, when they would send 1 or it. About fifteen minutes after the party had left, Mr. Chllders went-over to the depot after the trunk and found that it was gone, ilo concluded that Mr. Perkins had changed his mind and had managed some way to carry the trunk along with him.

Nothing more was thought of it, especially as the next day passed without the trunk being called for, but upon Thursday morning Mr, Perkins come over after it, when the fact that it had b3en stolen first became apparent. Search was commenced, and the empty trunk was soon found iu an adjacent field, its valuable contents entirely gone. Mr. Perkins then came to town, pjocured a search warrant, and on Friday succeeded in srrestins: a ne gro with about half the goods in his posses slon. His name was Julius E.

Bell, and he was committed to jail by Esq. Abernatby. The goods not yet recovered comprise articles all marked, which can readily be detected by any person who can read. Mr. Perkins thinks he will recover all the goods.

Indianapolis Journal. A young man named Charles Johnson was arrested yesterday afternoon on a charge of cruelty to animals. Ho was driving an over-loaded sandcart up hill, und wheD the poor beast would stop to rest he mercilessly beat it over the back with a board. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Mr. Charles Johnson is a ffo-legged brute. A Nashville young man who was waken ed out of a sound sleep the other night by me demonstrations oi a serenading party wno opened nre in ms vicinity, says, In speaking of said serenade, that it demonstrated one of two things: He is not a sav age, or else thoio was no "music" developed upon that occasion, as hl3 "breast" wasn't "soothed" a particle thereby.

The Journal tells of a kind and affej-tionate mother-in-law, who found her lately acquired son-in-law playing cards in a saloon with the wife of the proprietor. She endeavored to persuade him to go horns, by bitting him over tho head with a water pitcher, and was arrested by another son-in-law, a policeman, for disturbing the pcace, and was fined by the mayor, but as she was short of funds, the son-in-law who arrested her was compelled to pay the fine, and now there is at least one unhappy home in Indianapolis.

The Cincinnati Commercial furnishes its readers with this discouraging of focial-chit-chat: "Toung girls from ten to fifteen are particularly injured by this sort of life, says a Long Branch letter. Rising at 10 in the morning, a breakfast at 10ls or 11, dawdling through tha day talking and playing croquet until 5, then dressing for dinner at then a drive, and after that the evening hop, is a programme for the day. These young girls are not satisfied with the attention of gentlemen or boys of their own age, but must have real grown-up beaux upon whom to exercise their fascinations. Little chits often O' twelve walk around the halls on the arms of men old enough to be their fathers, and talk by tho hour." Dr. Peters' Beport to the Hew Torfc Board of Health.

Dr. J. C. Peters ha3 presented a very In teresting report to the New York Board of Health, as the result or ms investigations in this vicinity, in relation to cholera, from which report we mike the following extracts: In advance of a more full report, I can state that to my personal knowledgo cholera was conveyed from New Orleans and Memphis by steamboats to Louisville and Cin-cinni ti. I also have very positive information that cases were brought by railroad to Nashville and died there.

In Gallatin, Woodburn and Bow.ing Green, the first cases, sometimes three in number, were imported ones. But tho momentous stands out very strongly that, however fre disease may have been brought to, or have originated in, Murfreesboro, Nashville and Bowling Green, and many other places, the pestilence quickly and almost exclusively localized itseii in tue nuntest parts ot these towns, while the cleanest portions almost entirely ccaped. At Nashville She localizing causes of cholera wcro so extended and apparent that no importation of tho disease was looked for or generally believed in. Nor are tho Nashville physicians much to blame for fastening their attention almost exclusively upon these secondary and localizing ciuses of the disease. They are so patent in Nashville that they force themselves upon every one's attention.

Comparatively ft.w deaths occurred in the highest, cleanest, best-ventilated, best drained, and best paved portions of the city. The best residence and busi ness portion of Nashville during the whole of the terriblo epidemic which raged on Its outskirts was almost perfectly safe to live in. The chclera was almost exclusively confined to the outer limits and low por tions oi tue city, ana carried oil hundreds of those living near the small streams or so- called branches, licks, and rung of water, especially tne lick urancn on one side and Wilson's Spring branch upon tho other. On Juno the Physician published a card, as there was "quite an excited con dition of the publi-i mind upon the subject oi cnoiero, Decause wiuun the lew days some deaths had occurred so suddenly iuq.B uiu puysicians, anu many good citi- icajcu iuo uaibluijcu oi epidemic or Asiatic they wero produced oy cnoicra moruus, or sporadic cholera, he asserts, there is not a doubt. The list of deaths was not published till June 9, on which day they amounted to twentv-one.

Two venders of corporation wood, named McWright and Farless, were arraigned be fore Judgo Duliug yesterday morning on the charge of disorderly conduct, and, It being proved against them the sum of five dollars was demanded of them.

Having heard the most marvelous stories regarding the many attractions to oe louna at ueersheba Springs and "thereabouts;" the delightful air: tho refreshing coolness of the nishta and the blisiful condition of tho fortunate visit ors to that charming resort, I put my other collar and handkerchief in a valise TuesJay litsi, gun auuaiu iuu XL. ju.

In due timo Tracy City, tho terminus of tho travel by railroad, was reac ed, and our party, consisting of eight persons, was compactly stowed into a two ho-se hack, the driver cracned ms winp, said and our journey of seventen mile3 by stage, was fairly inaugurated, and a rough old ride it was up nm ana down again over boulders, into ruts and across streams In this way the next four hours passed slowly by, until, at seven o'clock, p. we drove down a spacious street, lined on either side by cosy looking cottages, turned a corn er with a whirl and landed in front of the Beersbeba hotel, tight in the midst of three hundred guests, or less, a' majority ot whom were "ladies lair, In gor geous array." It required no small amount of nerve to s.umble out ot he hack into this collection of beauty and calico, gather ed together ior the express purpose or see ing "who'd come." However, this trying orneai is soon passed, the baggage i un loaded, names registered, supper disposed of, and an hour later the members of our party find themselves in tho spacious ball rcom, where dancing is kept up until a late Those- or us who hail from Nashville are pleased to find that three-fourths of the guests are from the "Rock City," and tho time passes pleasantly by, one of the characteristics of Beersheba society being an entire absence of formality and ceremony.

Thursday was pleasantly occupied with the numerous attractions to be found about the hotel and in the immediate vicinity, An investigation into the arrangements for reeding the large crowd oi visitors demon st rated tho fact that even a much larger number could be easily accommodated so far as the board is concerned. Mr. M.

Morrow, the diffident, bashful traveling man of Howerlon's harness establi hmcnt in this city, has charge of the buying and issuing-out of the pro visions, and I was very much interestad in his description of the manner in which the guests are led, and ot the vast quantities of provisions used daily. Among other things, he said mat the hotel disposed of either eighty, or eighty fdojen chickens per day. I am not certain as to which of these is the correct figure, as I never had much taste for statistics. Jl owever, I know that tho residents of that entire county are devoting all their time and energies to rals Ing eatables for the Beershaba Springs hotel and that they find a ready sale for all they raise. At 12:0 Thursday night I bid a reluc tant farewell to Beersheba, get idto the stage, to find myself the only passenger, and for the next hvo and a hair hours, occupy all tho space or that vehicle, back or th driver's seat.

When the front wheels plunge into a hole, I make a sudden dive towards tho Tracy City end of the road; when the hind whels follow snit; I chango my tactic i and start towards Beersheba; when the right hand sido of that luxurious establish ment elevates itself three feet in the air. without a moment's warning, I dash for the opposite side, to reverse my course whenever that eccentric vehicle gives the cue. Everything considered, I have a real lively time until we reach Tracy City, my only regret being that as the night is dark and cloudy, I cannot see the performance, but get my idea of it en tirely from tho sense of feelitig. And it's perfectly astonishin the clear and vivid im pression I am able to get of that trip, in that way. liy the time tue nuo is over aud i am safe aboard the train bound for Nash ville, I make up my mind that the man who is so r-nd oi tnat.

sort oi thing that ho would voluntarily take two Bch night rides, must be an individual with a decided partiality for eartbauakes, and one that a male might kicfe at all day wunout mamng any impres sion upon him. Lnote to tne reader: When you visit Beersheba from this city, go by the way of Tracy City, and return by way of McMinnviiie.j RECAPITULATION. Beersheba is a delightful resort. All the visitors tell you so, (putting an unnecessary amount of emphasis uoon the second syllable.) upon your arrival, an after you have been there, say ten minutes, you readily agree with them. The hotel accommodations aro ampie, and the wants of the guests are promptly attended to.

The air is puic and invigorating. There are a great many points of Interest to bo seen in the vicinity, the country being picturesque beyond descrip tion, and there aw plenty of horses and vehicles at tho Springs to con. vey parties to these points of interest. Dr. Dake, one oi our most popular phy8iciar who is at Beersheba with his lady, says that, while some wore inclined to complain of the distance of the Springs from the great lines of travel, it really was a great consideration In favor of the place, as a resort for health.

He said epidemics, the cholera in particular, had always followed the great lines of travel formerly the rivers, but now the railroads ss well; and that the height of the pUce, above the rivers and railroads, and thirty or forty miles of primitive forest and r-' Hing country between it tnd them, had and doubtless always would protect Its inhabitants from tho cholera and other dreaded epidemics. Several Nashville nllemen own cottages at Beersheba, and are making of them very desirable residences. One of the most valauble pieces of property there i3 the cottage bolonging to Mrs. Armfield, whoso Me husband was the first to locate at Beersheba, he 1 avlng gone there eighteen years ago, and bought the Springs with a large tract of land. His widow still resides upon the home place, and Is a valuable acquisition to Beersheba society.

THE YOUNG LADIES at the Springs say they want more beaux, as there is a deplorable lack of desirable young men among tho visitors, the young ladies being largely in the majority as to numbers, and I assuro Nashville young men who may be taking a vacation that if they visit Beersheba, they cannot fall to havo a pleasant time.

The Sanitarian for August deals with the great subject of Health and Disease in a spirited and Intelligent manner. The blood and offal thrown away fn Chicago last year would have been worth as fertilisers if saved, about $750,000.

The strong hits of characterization, and quick, masterly touches of pathos, which we hud in these opening pages, show that the hand of the poet-ro mancer has not lorgot its cunning. Dr. Holland's "Arthur Bonnlcastle" is contin ued, the accompanying picture, by Miss Hallock, illustrating the scene of the de struction of tec will. Mrs.

piunkett gossips of "Modern Hotels," and J. Esten Cooke about "My Knee-Buckles." Mr. Blauvelt's leading essay on "Modern Skepticism" will doubtless attract the attention of the re ligious press. Among tho poetic contribu tors are iu. U.

stedman, John Hay and George MacDonald. Dr. Holland's Topics of the Time are entitled "The Morals of Journalism," "A Rply to Many Letters," and "The Liquor Interest." In The Old Cabinet ia as usual, full to ovei flowing of goou things, fccribner Publishers, JMew iorK. The uaioxy ior August ha3 an uncom monly varied and promising Ubleof con tents, and its promise is more than made good by the articles which follow. The loading article is a picturesque sketch of lenna, not a description of scenery but a passing glance at costumes, customs, char acter, and general features of a city which tne writer says ne loves.

Two very entertaining and suggestive ar tides upon language follow. Another strong article in the number is "Personal Recollections of the Revolution in Berlin in 184ct," a long title which fully explains the sutyecr. The writer, Hon. Theodora S. Fay, was American Ambassador at the Court of Prussia during the exciting period of which he writes, and the sketch has the charm of personality.

Mr. Albert Rhodes contributes a graceful character sketch sim ilar in style to those which have made him so well known during the past three years to magazine readers Having traversed Europe, Asia and Africa, he now brings his pen to America, and de picts a half foreign racs living in our midst, mo ureoies oi Louisiana, oi which ver fsw Americans have any knowledge what ever. An article entitled "The Martvr oi Balaklava" gives a graphic description of iue memoraDie cnarge oi me six nunoreJ. and explains tne causes or the disaster in the clearest manner, vindicating tho charac ter of Lieut. Nolan, to whom the title of the article refers.

The Parkman murder is the subject of another historical sketch of intense interest, which will be new to the younger class of readers. The other arti cles, including lien. Custer's Indian war record, poetry and literary and scientific miscellauy, make up the number, which is in all respects an excellent one. Sheldon Publishers, New York. Bcal Estate Transfers.
