At a late meeting of the Board of Trustees of Cumberland University, Lebanon, Tenn., it was decided to establish a medical department. — This University is under the special control of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Fancy or Ornamental Printing is always pleasing to the cultivated eye. There is a pecu liar beauty in its artistic arrangement and distri bution of colors. To excel in this style of the art, as executed at the Franklin Steam Printing House, Nos. 4 and 0 Broadway, would give special eclat to the succeessful competitor. Workers for the cause, through these columns, will find it successful to accept of six months sub scribers, and receive therefor one dollar and fifty cents. We suggest this plan to aid the largest num ber. Clubs of three or more could be easily raised in every church upon the six months idea. Test the efficiency of this plan, all who love to see the truth spread throughout our entire domain. Mr. Jilson P. Johnson, Business Manager of the Galt House, in Louisville, has certainly not been to Atlanta recently. Consequently lie may be pardoned for the following bit of extravagance.

The Methodist Advocate of the 3d, notices the in vasion of last week in the following kindly terms: A Surprise— The sanctum of our neighbor, the proprietor of the Index and Baptist, whs in vaded during his recent absence, and so changed in its appearance that he hardly recognized it. One principal feature of the renovation was a beautiful carpet with which the raiders bad covered the lloor. The proprietor returns his thanks to the party, and says, “ the surprise was complete and agreeable.” The following report was recently made to the East Tennessee Sunday School Convention: “ Your Committee on Statistics beg leave to re port: Number of schools re-ported, 169; number of teachers, (average attendance,) 1,417; number of scholars, (average attendance,) 11,119; number of conversions, 995 ; number of schools reported to bold all the year, 102; number from which no such report is made, and to include those reported to suspend during the year, 67.” “The Country Gentleman says: Clover hay con taining the seed, should be allowed to become fully ripe, and if it has been wet once, it Mill shell all the better. Thresh it thoroughly, and pass it through a properly adjusted fanning mill. The threshing should he done in frosty weather.— When farmers sow their own seed, it may be sown in the chaff, if done early in spring. Health-Seekers are generally on the alert at this season of the year, for the best and most com fortable resort at which they may spend a few months during the torrid season.

No disappointments await tit)se who spend a month or more at Beersheba. We know whereof we speak. XVe class Sam. Scott among the best Hotel keepers in the United States, and know that Dr. J. D. Winston is one of the best of physicians. \X r e heartily endorse all that is claimed in the advertisement, which please see in its place. The Nashville Union and American , which has been the leading paper in Tennessee for many years, is now one of the most influential journals in the South, and deservedly so. XVe fully endorse the remarks of the Western Methodist , with refer ence to the U. A.: “ The Nashville Union and American, published by Messrs. J. O. Griffith & Cos., with its three editions, daily, semi-weekly, and weekly, is one of the most interesting and successful' newspapers in the land. In fact, avo put it at the head of tho list of secular journals received bv us; for, while it is equal to them in intelligence and enterprise, it is superior to all in its noble regard for the moral well being and im provement of society. Its political, commercial and local departments are edited with great abil ity and propriety, and its agricultural department is full, instructive and satisfactory in the highest degree. XVe congratulate our friend, Col. Griffith, who, with his co-laborers, lias achieved a noble success, in furnishing the people a paper most worthy of patronage. May its patronage, now large, increase greatly from year to year. XVe advise all our readers who wish a newspaper from the Capital of Tennessee, to send for the Union and American." Progress in tiie South—Printing—Prog- ress in the South is in nothing more manifest than in the art ancl extent of printing. The newspa pers of the South spend from two to five times as much at present in procuring and printing news than six years ago. In job printing the same ad vance has been made, and now all offices entitled to the name in the South are prepared to turn out as line work as any in the country. In some kinds of railroad work, for example, the lettering and numbering of coupon railway tickets, all of our roads, for many years, have been compelled to apply tit the North for their work. The Frank lin Printing House at Atlanta, owned by our old and well-known Nashville citizen, J. J. Toon, is now prepared to do that kind of work in the best style, and as cheaply as can be had at New York, Buffalo, or any other place in the Union. He lias the only regular and complete ticket numbering machine in the South for that class of work. In deed, he lias a model printing establishment, and Southern railroad companies will find it to their advantage to stop at home for work which can be as well and cheaply done as elsewhere.

Indeed the whole establish ment has been manipulated by a skilled and ex perienced teacher, and presents an air of taste, elegance and comfort. It is Prof. Eastman’s object to make the pupils comfortable, while he trains them for the stern and actual duties of life. He is determined that there shall bo wanting no effort on liis part to facilitate the rapid advance ment of all who come to get the benefit of his long experience. As to Mr. Eastman’s character as a gentleman of solid worth anil ability as an instructor, it is unnecessary to say more than that he comes to us fully endorsed by leading business men of our acquaintance—and by a number of Southern gentlemen of the highest respectability, now' in business in this city, who received their business education at the Eastman College, of Poughkeepsie, of which popular institution he was a leading spirit. Hence we gladly welcome to Georgia and the South Prof. A. R. Eastman, and recommend his College to the favorable con sideration of our people, who feel interested in the acquirement of a thorough business education, either for themselves or others.

The book sings simply of Jesus, and is admirably adapted to the wants of all our South ern schools. Oue of our best Professors of Music says of it: “I venture to say, that the book contains ntoro useful tunes and hymns, and those that will wear, than anything of the kind in the market.” Another of our best Southern musicians says: “While the book is Southern, all political and national songs are wisely excluded from its pages. Our schools are tub of North ern books; and these, without exception, have some reference to political or sectional opinions, which make them objectionable. The book is a good one, and lam persuaded that it will be received, aud that it will ob tain a wide circulation throughout the South.
