Tomlinson, will, in future, reside here.
We mentioned a few days since that

Memphis and Louisville railroad, had

other roads without license. He claimed
tnat the company's charter gave this
privilege. Police Commissioner Rich

yesterday decided against Mr.. Hill, and
fined him $50. The case was appealed
to the Municipal Court.
We are gratifed to learn that Major
M. S. Ward, of Pamela, whose death we
announced yesterday on the authority Of
letter from we'll known gentleman of
that place, is still alive, He is danger

hopes are entertained OF his recovery.
We sincerely trust they may be realized,
and that the Major will many years
longer be spared to the sphere of useful
ness he so worthily fills.

Church, has been ordered to Nashville.

time, none affected US more than bidding
adieu to Father Walsh. The people of
Memphis will soon learn to sympathize.
with us in the loss we have sustained, for
the loss to us will be gain to them.
That God will bless his labors and give
him long life and happiness we sincerely
pray"
