were of the most thrilling interest The
audience was so great that the doorways |
were all blocked up, and many went away |
or stood on the pavement, as ii spell
bound by the voice of Mrs. II. I. Tom
linson, who sang in the choir. Her
singing charmed and delighted the vast
throng, as is the theme Of thousand

DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN, We are
panied to learn that our old and much
esteemed fellow-townsman, r. NJ Spicer,
who had resided in Memphis for many
years, and was universally respected by
all who knew him, died on Sunday morn
ing last He leaves behind him an hon
oredo family, and host of friends TO
mourn his loss
THE swan pours out her sweetest song
when dying. In like manner the sweet
est fragrance of Phalon's Night Bloom
of Cereus" grows more exquisite as it
becomes fainter. This is not the case
with the ordinary extracts for the hand
kerchef. Their original scent soon
lapses into decidedly repulsive odor. -
