WOULD call the attention of undertakcrs
w and the public, to their large variety of
Hearses of the most approved patterns, and of
the finest tinish-unrivaedf for elegance, utility
and durability.
We are constantly improving the style and
construction of our Metallic Burial Cases
Our ''New Plain Case patented December
II, 1860, combines all the most recent and Yal-
liable improvements, and is more complete
than any Burial case ever before invented
Our Metallic Burial Casllet, in its simplicity
OF design, and its freedom from all associations
of grief, is unsurpassed. 1t is almost entirely
covered by the best polished plate glass It's
finishis that of the finest rosewood. The Orna-
mental CaSket, with its heavy and elaborately-
wrought embematical ornaments their bright
silver contrasting with the dark polished
ground work, is of striking and appropriate
elegance.
Over wooden collins, these Burial Cases and
Cakets possess many important advantages.
Ihey protect from water, Yermin, and other
intrusion, answering for generations every
necessary purpose of a vault. Removal from
the original place of buriaI-should it ever be
deslred-can easily be accomplished. Bodies
can be preserved for days weeks, awaiting
the arrival Of absent friends Removal to any
part OF the globe, at any season of the year, is
entirely practicable The surest safeguard is
effected against contagious diseases.
Directions accompany every Burial Case and
C"sket, IN reference to closing, and should be
strictly followed.

DEkTH OF DIR. T. c. MADIsoN.--The
death of DIR. Madison, in passenger train,
from st. Louis TO Jefferson City, the other
day, has already been announced.
The Lynchburg Virginian states that he
was nephew of President Madison; en-
tered the regular army ofthe United States
duting the Florida war, and served with
distinguished ability in Gen. Taylors
column during the Mexican war. For
twenty years previous TO the late war he had
been serving upon the frontier. On hearing
Of the secession of Virginia, he determined
to unite his fortunes with his native State,
and resigned his commission as Surgeon in
the United States army. He was Medical
Director of Generel Magruder's command on
the Peninsula, in 1892. For the last three
years he was the Medical Inspector of the
Confederate States Hospitals in Virginia and
Tennessee. He was the second in rank in
the Medical Department of the Confederate
States army.

void that the contest will be restricted to Speaker
Baldwin, A. ii. III. Stuart John Minor Bolts and

friends in both Houses who desire his election,
but we regard him now as out Of the ring
Mrs. Stonewail jackson is now in Richmond,
and herself and child are the guests of Mr.. Lewis
d. Crenshaw. The fact that she is in destitute
circumstances, has induced Captain Caghlan, of
the Wing, and others, TO get up concert at the
theatre for her benefit Madam Rhul, a profess
sional singer of note; James Grant, a son of a
wealthy citizen of Richmond, who has voice
equal TO Formes, and other amateurs of that city,
have volunteered to appear. 1t will, of course
be success and yield an immense sum, as the
memery of her great husband is cherished by
every Nirginian with reverence that no lam
guage is adequate to express or describe.

propriate solemnities at Laurel Grove Gem
etery yesterday afternoon. Notwithstanding
the inclemency of the day, at the appointed
hour, three o'clock, very large number of

tlenlen and youth, including the relatives
and friends of the gallant dead, had assem-
bled at the entrance of the reception vault,
where the boxes containing the remains had
been placed side by side and covered with
laurel wreathes and boquets of choice flow
ers. The sad company had gathered round,
and in the silence of deep feeling-more ex-
pressive than the military pomp and swell
of martial music, with which the last hon
ors are paid to fallen soldiers-awaited for

from the city of Chihuahua up to December
ID has been received hers.
President Juarez had entered upon his
new term without any opposition, with the
exception that one General made a protest
against the extension of his term, and went
over to the French side.
General Regules, a very successful officer,
had been appointed General-in-chief of the
Central Army in place of the lamented
General 0rtega, who was assassinated by
order of Macmillan.
Generals Ignuira Mejia, Eplairo Nucta,
Nicolas Regules, Diego Alvarez and Josef

The following item appears, in one OF
our Eastern exchanges:
The religious belief of the deceased Presidents
Of the United States as Indicated by their atten-
dance upon public worship and evidence afforded
m their writings may be summed up as follows ;
Washington, Madison. Monroe Harrison Tyler
and Taylor. were Episcopalians; Jefferson, John
Adams and John Quincy Adams were Unitari-
ans; jackson. Polk and Lincoln. Reformed
Church. The surviving Presidents are Fillmore,
a Unitarian; Pierce, q Trinitarian Congregation
alist; Buchanan, an Episcopalan, and the pres
ent Chief Magistrate. johnson, who is a Presby-
terian."
Our cctemporary is in error in several
particulars. Gen. Washington was an at
tendant upon the Episcopal church, and
may in infancy have been baptised in that
church, but he was never a communicate of
any religious denomination. Gen. Jack
son was Presbyterian, and President Polk,
Methodist having united himself with
that church but n few days before his death.
President Pierce has recently associated
himself with the Protestant Episcopal
Church. As to the present Chief Executive
his most intimate acquaintance are unad-
vised as to his preferences between the diff
ierent religious denominations
