An OLD and Reliable House.

We notice among the business announce
ments in the leading New York papers,
that q Mr.. Edward W. Tiers, who had
been identified with the tea trade of that
city for more than thirty years, has Just re-
tired from business, carrying with him
into his retirement an ample fortune, and
what is still better, the esteem of all who
knew him, and good and unsullied name.
His late associates, Mr.. John NJ. White
(who has been managing partner for
several years. and Messrs. Thomas Hewitt
and Thomss-A. Phelsn, will continue the
business with ample means, under the firm
name and style of John NJ. White & Co."
From what We know Of these gentlemen,
We cannot too strongly and cordially COM
mend them as the managers Of the old and
reliable house, 10 the trade throughout the
country. 1t has been one of the leading
houses in the tea trade for over a quarter
Of a century, and the ne6 firm will fully
sustain the we'll earned reputation of the
old and we predict for them a splendid
success, for by their energy and vast re-
sources they will anticipate and meet all
the demands Of an increasing patronage,
affording most liberal facilities to the trade
everywhere.

Fire at Camden,

a correspondent at Camden writes US as
follows, under date of March 6: "a por
ton Of our town was destroyed by FIRE on
Wednesday night, the Sd inst, producing
considerable alarm and some loss. The fire
took place in the jewelry store Of R. K.
George, at the southwest corner Of the
public square, in the Postofice Block.
The jewelry store and contents. consisting
Of about sixty-fve or seventy watches, and
some jewelry, tools, etc, were all de-
stroyed. The Postofice, and portion OF
the goods in DIR. Whifeld's drug store,
were saved, but the entire block of build
ings were destroyed. The property be-
longed to Strickland & CORN, and there
was no insurance except by the Southern
Insurance Company, which, suppose, is
equivalent to none at all. j"

In MenlOrinlEa.

P. G. Silver Perkins, on presenting the
proceedings of the Nashville bar on the
death of James NJ. Brien, E-q, to the
Criminal Court yesterday, delivered him
self as follows:
At meeting Of the members Of the bar
of Nashville, called TO pay their tribute o.
respect to the memory of james NJ. BrieB,
ESQ.,, was requested to present the pre-
amble and resolutions which expressed
their sentiments with such unanimity, 10
this court. Mr.. Brien had from his early
life been citizen of our community, and
for some years member of this bar. We
are assured of his high moral and social
qualities.
His demeanor was courteous and ahable,
his manners were agreeable and social,
his sentiments we're generous and kind,
and his intercourse was that OF one
prompted by an honorable sense of the re-
ciprocal obligations of politeness and a
genial friendship. To these he added
those mental qualifications and endow-
ments, which with devotedness to his pro
fession, fitted him for the proper discharge
of the duties of his Office as States At
torney for the Seventh Judicial Circuit.
In this he won the esteem of all. He
scattered flowers and strewed smiles all
along the pathway Of life; and was pc
culisrly man embued with the milk of
human kindness.
But we have the brighter assurance that
his closing days were sustained by the
consultations of the Christians hope; that
the clouds which settled about his sick
chamber were dispelled by the bright rays
which beamed above his moral horizon /;
thai from his dying pillow he could look
through the trembling gloom which
shrouded his all of earth, fix steadily his
eve of faith upon that covenant sealed in
blood, and be cheered by the bright pros
poets which rose therefrom and when
the last silver cord was loosed and the
golden bowl was broken, his disembodied
and redeemed spirit was in-gathered home
to an eternal blessedness.
Thus terminated the life Of James NJ.
Brien. With the traits Of character have
mentioned, sanctifed by the divine grace
he protested, and which is consolation
to his family and friends, could he have
survived, he would have accomplished
much good and attained that prominence
in life and in his profession which he so
Justly merited. This cherished boon
would have cheered him along the path
way of life, sustained him in every trial,
and frightened his prospects in pointing
to the destiny which he should attain here
and the reward which awaited him here
after. But he has closed his earthly ca
reer, and we bow TO the dispensation Of
His will who is the Disposer Of all events.
With these few brief remarks, move the
court to spread these proceedings on its
minntea.

| GENTLEMEN: DR.. LIGHTHILL expects tc
visit your city soon, and for the benefit Of
the suffering wish to say, through you,
to your very extensive acquaintance in
this and other Southern States that DR..
Lighthill can do all for the suffering that
can be afforded bv skill. sciences and a
comprehensive experience.
Indeed, DIR. Lighthill performs some
almost miraculous cures. One case for in-
stance. Iplaced under his treatment, over
two years since, my niece, Miss Eliza
Mitchum, of McLemoresville, Tenn. She
had been suffering from a child with
rising in the head, which had for years
emitted through the ear very ugly and
offensive corruption. Her case had been
treated by the best physicians of the coun-
try and had baffied the skill all. Dr.
Lighthill kept her under his immediate
charge for ten days and then sent her home
with remedies. She used the remedies as
directed and in three months was entirely
well and still continues in excellent health
1t may be proper to state that when Miss
Mitchum went under DR.. Lighthil's treat
ment she was unable to walk and, az her
friends thought, was rapidly approaching
death.
If you have any friends among your ex-
tensive acquaintance suffering with any
chronic disease you may safely recommend
them to DR.. Lighthill.
Yours, very respectfully,

Last Monday night thieves entered a
grocery establishment on LINE street,
opposite the Hines school house, and got
as the reward of their pains a small lot Of
groceries, about twenty dollars in money,
and 6ne silver watch highly priced by the
owner. They got into the house by first
getting under it and making hole through
the floor. 1t was not necessary, therefore,
to interrupt the door or windows. The
guilty parties are still at large, but sus-
picion begins to set in strongly towards
their Identification.
