We were pleased to notice Capt. Bar
ney Grey around again yesterday. He is
still barely able to hobble about the sta
tion-hOuses, and it will be some days
before he is again fit for duty. His inju-
ries were of a much more serious nature
than at first supposed.
mo license on dog" is another
charge which is scored on the docket very
frequently at present. Adezen individu-
ais were fined IS each for violating the
dog law yesterday morning, and as many
more arrests were made during the day.

be should he consent to run and receive
the nomination.

Nathan Menzel, who left this city several
days ago with q stock of notions, was
found dead in a skih on the Arkansas
shore, nearly opposite Norfolk lin De Soto

Our nelghbor, the Ledqer. hits the
nail on the head in its remarks about
correcting errors" We recommend the
paragraph to the many who fancy them
selves injured or misrepresented by news
paper articles or reports. A civil request
TO correct a misststement is never refused
by a decent newspaper, but there are few
that can be bullied into retractions. We
do not allude TO the particular case re-
ferred to by the Ledger, but lay this down
as a general rule"
We learn that the net proceeds of the
exhibition so generously donated by Mr..
Robinson to the Church Home and
the Masonic Temple Fund, amounted to
1868. b sum was divided as follows:
Masonic Temple Fund, SI59 50; Church
Home, 500 80. The ladies received the
lions share on account, as thew claim. /
that they procured the remission of the
city tax for the entertainment. This is
more than fair. In the name of the
people of Memphis we thank Mr.. Robin
son, and hope that his magnificent circus
may meet everywhere the success that
his generosity deserves.
