ever prepared such a sumptuous repast
in such a magnificent style as that set
: by Col. Prayer for the Feast Of Purim,
in the year 1857. He is indeed the
Prince of Caterers, and deserves the
highest praise of the Club. Our want Of
space forbids US at present doing him
full justice; but we cannot leave the
table without expressing our conviction
that the vlands, as we learned from the
labels bsd haen furnished by Nathan
Brothers & Co., were most superb. IN

PRESENTATION TO THE PRESIDENT OF
THE CLUB.
The most interesting feature Of the
zo-.-so, 80. H. 0rneorNoR;o, of a 49, |
nifcent silver pitcher to Nathan Hoff-
heimer, Esq, President of the Club. The
presentation was made by A. e. Frank
land, Esq, in a neat speech. He said it
was presented to him not so much for
the manner in which he conducted the
proceedings of the Club, but rather for
their appreciation Of him as a friend
and gentleman, and that he should be
queath it to his boy Sammy. The pitcher
is a splendid piece of workmanship, and
bears the inscription; Presented to
Nathan Hoftheimer by a few of his
friends as a token Of their esteem and
friendship, March q, 1857" Mr.. Hof-
heimer, in returning his thanks, said he
was taken by surprise, and, like a defeated
general, he could only thank his friends
for the compliment paid him, and felt
that the only way of getting out of the
dilemma was to accept the ~"situation."
UNMASKING
commenced at twelve o'clock, when
the party proceeded to the Supper
Room and did full justice to the
E" good things" prepared for them
by Prayer. After the sumptuous
repast, ladies and gentlemen again
marched to the Ball Room, and
continued the dance until near day
light. Never did we witness such
hilarity, enjoyment and %festiv-
ity; and we wish that the Feast
Of Purim, if possible, could occur almost
every week. The Memphis Club has set
a glorious example to all cur citizens as
to how they should enjoy themselves.
Warning TO the Public Who Use Burn
ing OHs.-The states OF Pennsylvania
and Ohio forbid the sale of burning oils
that will ignite at under n hundred
degrees Fahrenheit. Missouri specifies
one hundred and ten degrees, and these
tests must be branded on the barrels.
All reputable dealers in Illuminating oils
understand this. "To prevent the pub
lie frem being imposed upon by ire
sponsible men, and to avoid accidents,
we respectfully give notice that benzine,
benzole or naptha viii not stand the
above tests. All of these new patent
burning oils now being advertised
are made from one Of these ar
tieles, and in the absence of any spe-
eifc law in this state, may be sold with
IMMUNITY. The public can best judge
whether it is safe to use any burning oil
which is forbidden CON account of its
dangerous qualities) to be sold in the
above named states, and others. The
terrible accident on Adams street last
winter, by which three lives were lost,
resulted from the careless use of benzine.
We will also state that we obtained from
the original inventor and di~seoverer,
more than two years ago, the exclusive |
right to make oils and fluids u0a-erDgO-
sire, and yend the same, in West Ten
pessee. Parties who infringe on our
rights will take due notice, under PEN
atty Of prosecution
