FUsEEAL SERMON, Upon THE LATE F. #. PARMELE.
The Rev Dr.. Palmer, of the First Presbyterian
Church, yesterday morning, at the instance of the
members Of Mississippi Fire Company No 2, de-
Hyered funeral sermon upon the death Of their we'll
loved brother, the late Frederick F. Parmele.
The hail Of the Company was crowded by the mem
bers and their invited friends; and all listened with
the profoundest attention and telling to one of the
fttest tributes we ever heard eoquence pay to de.
parted worth. We did attend for the purpose of tax
ing down notes Of the Sermon for publication; but
we foundit to be such that any abridgement effort
at condensation would spoil it, would be unjust to
the speaker, and disappointment to those who know
how he speaks The sermon was necessarily a short
one, having to be concluded in time to enable the
reverend gentleman to ociate usual at his Church
but short it was it struck all with its power and
its appropriateness to the occasion The services be-
fore and after the sermon were eelngly participated
in by all present.
BY invitation we learn, DR.. Palmer is to preach
again at the same place, next Sunday morning.
DR.. CRANES INSTITUTE The treatment Of chronic.
functional and pulmonary disorders, BY Dr. Crane, we
can safely state never been exceed by any other
treatment To go further we will say that it is more
successful than other methods of treatment The in
halation Of indicated vapors has been demonstrated
TO be the very best that can be offered to ailings of
the lungs, whilst the application Of chemical baths
and electromagnetism to rheumatic alings, the dis
orders arising from poison in the system, etc, is
equally efioaceus. To those who are afflicted in this
way, we say, go to Or. Crane, Investigate his sys-
tenn learn his methods of treatment and, above ALL
read the numbers of certificates he has from citizens
of the first responsibility, who suffered and now en-
JOY health and happiness. DIR. Cranes Institute is
at No. 146 ST. Joseph street.
