New MEMPHIS THEATER.-The exc
cradle weather psesented large attend
ance at the theater on the occasion of
Miss Melville's beneE. last night. Her
performance of Joan of Arc was fair
though out of her line, and she was well
sustained by the company, the acting of
Mr. Ellerton and Miss Pierson being
especially noteworthy. Po-ca. hon tas
went off livelier, Miss Melville being
at home" in the character, which she
played with considerable spirit. Messrs
France, Ellerton and Sloan, and Mrs
Moore contributed much to the success
of the pice by their capital acting, but
the terrible weather without, and the
small audience within, produced depress-
ing effects which could rot entirely be
overcome during the evening. Miss Mel
vile was the recipient of two fine bsu-
quets, whereby hangs tale. 1t was under
stood that two young gentlemen would
make floral offerings to the little favorite
who has played such sad havoc with a
few scores of susceptible hearts, and
each determined that his should be
the most magnificent collection of
flowers At the close of the first play
bouquet No, whizzed on the stage. 1t
was very beautiful, and triumph shone in
the eyes of the donor But in the midst
ofPocahontas another bouquet appeared.
In size it was large, and grand enough to
be the father Of all bouquets, being little
smaller than -four barrel, and contain
ing the sweetest and rarest flowers to be
found. The denouement created no lit
tie merriment among the gentlemen in.
terested, and their friends, who were
quietly awaiting results. Miss Melville,
by extraordinary exertions, managed to
"tote the beautiful offering off the
stage, receiving it with her prettiest bow
This evening the everlasting Hidden
Hdnd-a popular play-will be pre-
sented, with Miss Melville as " Capitola."
1t should draw large house.

DEATH OF DR.. T. j. SALF.-The com
munity will be panied to learn Of the de-
mise of DR.. T. J. Sale, which occurred
at his residence on Adams street, at 5
o'clock this morning, DR.. Sale was
seized with congestion few days ago,
and sank so rapidly that the best medi-
cal skill and most unremitting attention
proved of little avail. DR.. Sale was an
old resident of Memphis, and ranked
among our foremost physicians as a
thorough and successful practitioner.
He was most valuable citizen, whom
the community can lily afford to lose.
In all the relations of life-as husband,
father, friend-he was kind, upright,
affectionate, genial and faithful-a good
man. He leaves a wife and several
children, who will receive the sincere
sympathies of the public in their be-
reavement
