The ENGLISH LUTHERAN CHURCH.-The
Lutheran con2re CATION, formed in this city
about twelve months ago by the Rev. J. G..
Niefler, with only a handful Of followers of
the great reforlner. has steadily increased in
numbers until now that faithful servant OF
God has under his paternal care more than
one hundred members on his church regis
ter. The service is impressive, and resembles
that of the Episcopal Church. The singing i
especially good. A better quartette choir is
not in Richmond. The soprano, Miss b.,
has voice CT great power and sweetness for
one so young. With application and train
ing she will not have her superior in this
city. The basso, Mr.. g.. has a splendid
voice, and under good control. The tenor,
Mr. O., is a cultivated musician, and sang
four years in italian opera. The alto, Miss
s., who is also the accomplished organist, is
good. as is also Master s. This little fellow
will make \ trst-rate singer, with proper
training. The selections are from the best
masters, and rendered in al elegant manner.
We trust this weak congregation, worship
ing now 1T the Universalist church, on
Nayo street, will be encouraged by the pre-
sence OF our people. They contemplate
erecting at no distant day granite chapel,
so soon rs = suitable site can be gotten. The
granite has already been contributed by one
of its members. The chapel, when con-
pleteG, will he an ornament to our city.

JUSTICE EMERY's COBRF.-There
was trial before Justice Emery last
night after dark, which seemed to at
tract great deal of interest, as his
Office was crowded almost to sufoca
ton. 1t was impossible to obtain ad-
mittance or ascertain anything about
the merits of the case. There seemed
to be an array Of counsel, and at 8
o'clock they had not fairly got under
way, Gen. Shackelford at that hour
being engaged in trying to convince
His Honor that the counsel. for the
prosecution had no right to demand
an exposition Of the defense intended
to be set up before they would say
whether or not the State was ready to
go into trial. We believe the Justice
was convinced. As we know nothing
of the case, we can say nothing OF it.

GRAvELED STREETs.-The gravel
ing of the streets of the city is an
immense improvement ON the mud
streets that prevail to such an alarming
extent in this city. Water Street was
graveled late in tho Fall, from Full
ton Avenue to the bridge, though a
portion of it was not completed when
the weather put an end to the work
FOR the season. With the exception
of small portion where the gravel
has been cut through by wagons, the
street il quite passable to the bridge,
for vehicles, and beyond the bridge
the street has been paved or Me-
Adamized nearly to the Marine Hos
pital grounds, affording our neighbors
of independence a rather pleasant
drive in to the city via Fifth or Full
ton Avenue and High Streets, por-
ton Of these streets having been
graveled also.

DROWNED. = Fidal Wasseschu, a
young man of seventeen years, was
drowned, yesterday morning, in the
back water at the culvert, on the
plank road. near the old fair grounds.
A Coroner's inquest was held on the
body, yesterday evening, and the fol-
lowing facts were elected: The young
man was trying to float log in the
water to the house near by, and was
upon the log. which, rolling over,
precipitated him into the water. and
before assistance could reacl. him, he
was drowned. The jury rendered a
verdict in accordance with the above
facts.

EVANSVILLE BUSINESS COLLEGE.
This old and reliable Business Col

when in Evansville a short time since,
we unhesitatingly say, has but few
equals, and no superiors In the West.

Kliner, are gentlemen of the first or
der of talent, and understand their
profession thoroughly, and labor
earnestly to prepare each student for

in this case. without success.
We cannot imagine any reason why
the city should be put to the expense
of a census just at this time, when the
taxes are about all collected and the
city government compelled to run for
eight mouths on an empty treasury,
except it be that some hungry parti-

legally include only the corporate
limits of the city, and will make a
very imperfect exhibit Of our pepula-

that it will be accepted as the correct
basis of population, it looks like fool

census now. We hope the Council,
at its next session, will revoke the
order on the subject.
