RASPBERRY FEsTIvAL.-The rasp-
berry festival at the Cumberland Presby-
terrain church, on Court street, was well
attended last night. Everything gotten
Up by the ladies connected with this
church is sure TO succeed, because they
know how to bring it TO a successful
completion. The new features added TO
the festival is the beautifully and artist
ieally arranged post office, in charge of
Miss Edith Curtis and Mics Edith Wolf.
The ladies are under obligations to Capt.
Dan. Mussulman, Of the popular steamer
Belle memphis for a very beauti-
full cake containing q valuable
gold ring, which will be given to the re-
cipient OF the lucky slice. Miss Jennie
Wolf does the cutting it up. Capt. King,
of the Cleaner, l.. Rocco and JOS. Specht
also contributed handsomely ornamented
cakes to the festival, and we know of no
more pleasant and profitable way Of
spending an hour in the evening than at
the raspberry festival. The array of
youth and beauty to be seen there is well
worthy a visit. The ladies of this church
deserve success in their christian under
taking, and we wish them every bit Of it.
CORINTH IOTs-THEIR VALUE.-The
thirteen COrinth lots distributed by the
Southern Asylum cover a whole block.
Each lot runs through from Third to
Fourth streets, three hundred and twenty
feet. The block adjoins that Of the same
size for which r. c.. Brinkley, Of this
city, paid three thousand dollars in cash.
The Southern Asylum, in equalizing the
face value of tickets to the value Of prop
erty distributed, used these lots as equal
to two thousand dollars in money. The
railroad from Corinth to Hamburg runs
within fifty yards of these Is, which
are not further than a fourth Of a mile
from two other railroads, the Memphis
and Charleston and Mobile and Ohio
roads. This Corinth property, at the
price, was the cheapest bought by the
company. Twenty-siE lots were made
into thirteen by the Southern Asylum.
We write this ip answer to an inquiry
made by the winner Of two Of these lots.
GEN. CHALMERS LECTURE.-The at
tendance at the Tabernacle last night to
hear the brilliant lecture of Gen. j. r.
Chalmers, on obedience to law, was very
fair. 1t was a brilliant effort. No para
graph Of ours could possibly do it JUS
tiee. At the close Willie Nelson, a
Young planter, recited the address OF
CNaILAEuH " kAlC NAaAA1lOAo IA y hAaAuAaEt
that would have done credit 10 a
professional. Next Tuesday night an
entertainment, literary and musical,
will be given by several amateur voIun-
teer young ladies and gentlemen, which
will prove very attractive. No doubt
the house will be well filled on the Ooca-
sion. It Is to De hoped so for the benefit
OF the widows and orphans.
