The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1868-03-18

A person familiar with the appearance OF
our good old city in times gone by would De
puzzled to be set down in the business portion
of the city. Not only have the old landmarks
vanished, but most of the well-known names
of the business firms of those times have been
replaced by new ones Among the few fami-
liar names which still remain is that Of LEVY.
The LEVY BROTHERS are conducting busi-
ness which was established by their grand
father, "ABRAHAM LEVY" who was succeeded
by his son, JACOB a. LEVY, and he, In his turn,
by his sons, the LEVY BROTHERS. Thus for
three generations has this house enjoyed the
confidence and patronage Of our citizens, and
its reputation for fair and liberal dealings has
been we'll earned and successfully intained
for over fifty years. No better evidence OF
merit could be required than the constantly
increasing popularity of this enterprising
firm, who, from first TO last, have been 60
verned by the strictest integrity.
We feel satisfied that whoever reads this
notice will agree with us in pronouncing the
es stablishment Of LEVY BROTHERS u credit to
the city.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1868-03-18

THE DESIGN OF THE PROPOSED CHURCH
FOE THE EvANGELIC LUTHERAN BETHLEHEM
CONGREGATION.-We were shown yester-
day, at the Office of Messrs. Lybrock u
Gibson, the plan of the church edifce to
be erected for the German Lutheran con-
gregation, of which Rev. Mr.. Louis Loch-
ner is the pastor.
1t will be erected on the northwest
corner of Sixth and Clay streets, in front
of the church in which the congregation
now worship. The style Of the building
is ,Byzenttine, and will be surmounted
with spire one hundred feet in height.
The front of the building will be forty-two
feet with height of ceiling, which is
arched, and intersected by ornamental
transoms twenty-five feet in height. The
gallery will be in front, to receive an organ
and the choir. The pulpit, altarpiece,
reading desk, and font, will be in the rear,
and elevated above the church floor, and
carried out in the style above mentioned.
AS popularity, we may state that the
pulpit is raised above the level of the altar
and reading desk about two feet, which
will give the speaker much advantage in
addressing the congregation. The build.
ing, when completed, Will cost ABOUT
$4,000.
This church was established only about
twelve years ago, and now has about
thirty-fve members. Too much praise
cannot be bestowed upon those who, not
their limited numbers and
their numerous difficulties, have succeeded
in raising sufficient funds to commence a
church in which to worship tho Jruo and
living God.
We hope that their endeavors to raise
sufficient funds in their own congregation
will be successful; but if they should
fail, we trust that our citizens generally
will literally aid them.
In August next the General Synod OF
the German Lutherans Of the United
States, comprising about ono hundred and
fifty ministers, will. assemble in this city
by which time this church will be COM
pleted, and the proceedings of the Synod
will be carried on in it.

LOCAL MATTERS.

DEAD BABY FoUND.-Late Monday night,
as the city scavangers were cleaning q lot
on Broad between Twelfth and Fourteenth
streets, they came across the dead body
of mature mulatto child. The au-
thorities were notified, and about o'clock
yesterday evening an inquest was held.
In the absence of DR.. Little, the coroner,
Mayor Mayo presided. DR.. Bealc was pre-
sent. An examination of ono or two wit
nesses proved nothing more than the find
ing of the body. A second examination
of it showed that string was around its
neck, and DR.. Beale stated that it was his
opinion that the child had been born alive,
and then strangled.
The jury, wishing to summon moro wit
nesses, adjourned to meet at the Old Mar
lSet at l o'clock to-day.
