The name Of the unfortunate plaster
or who fell from the fourth story of the
Old Post Office Building, night before last
as reported In b APPEAL yesterday
morningI was Mclaughlin. He died
shortly after daylight, yesterday morning
We are pleased to learn that Rev. J.
+. Lstimer, a graduate of the Theological
Seminary az Columbia, s. c., has been
invited by the session Of the Second Pres
bytsran Church to assist the pastor, Rev.
Dr.. Witherspoon, during b Summer
I months. Rev. Mr.. Lstimer has arrived
in the city and will take charge of the
Mission Chapel on Union street, where
he will hold his first service this morning
at l04 O'Clock.
a vicious dog jumped at 8 horse at,
tached to a buggy, and driven by an Old
negro man, yesterday afternoon, on South
street. The horse becoming frightened,
plunged to a side and snapped of the
shafts. Luckily the OwDer Of the dog also
! auearo1 was close by, and drove OF the
vicious brute before any further damage
was done. These sort OF attacks are be-
coming all too frequent. Scarcely q day
passes without one being reported, and
we hope that the municipal authorities
viii take some vigorous action in the
matter immediately.
We are indebted to the p~oliteness OF
John w. Faxon, Esq, Treasurer of the
GAINESVILLE Board Of Trade, for an invita-
ton to be present at the First Annual
Tobacco Fair to be held In GAINESVILLE, on
the 18th .proximo. This fair is intended
TO invite competition among tobacco
raisers from all parts of the country, and
there is no restriction as TO looallty m
making entries. This is a move in the
right direction, and n of great tmpor-
lance 80 all tobacco r~aisers.
Going down to Joe Seligmsn's IN
rivaIed stables yesterday afternoon to get
the well known trotting roadster Rather
to drive out to the race, we earned that he
had been sold during the day to MI. John
Overton, Jr., for the especial use and ser
vice of his lady. We have driven Rather
aud know him thoroughly, and while we
must congratulate MI. Overton on his
purchase, we must acknowledge that we
are sorry that the public has lost the use
of q of the shOwiest, geDtlest and best
rOadsters that was ever Fat livery" in
Memphis. We do not know what Mr..
OVerton gave for him, but a thousand
| dollars was none too much for him. We
once saw him when an accident had over
turned the buggy which he was pulling,
and instead of running Oh, the well
trained and sagaciOus animal quietly
sood still until damages we're repaired!
We congratulate MI. OvertOn OF his pur-
chase.
There is no saloon or establishment OF
lis kind and size in the city on which so
much money, labor and taste have been
lavished as on the st. Charles Saloon and
Restaurant, corner of Jefferson and Sec
I ond streets, by its enterprising and saga
eious proprietOr, Mr.. W. w. Kingdom.
Not long ago we gave a full and accurate
description of the various branches of the
establishment, and the personnel of the
employees. since this appeared there
have heeu several improvements made,
worthy Of note. Chief among them are
the patent automatic fans and hy-brushes
attached over the dining and bar counters.
These fans are constantly in motion, and
not only serve to keep off those terrible
pests the hOuse-hies, but to cool the at
mOsphere in remarkable manner. They
are the only ones Of the sort in b city,
and it is worth a trip to the st. Charles to
see them at work.
The attention Of the readers of the
APPEAL is called to the advertisement of
the Greenbriar (Va.) White sulphur
Springs, which appears in our columns
1E[5
today. These springs are now open for
the reception Of visitors, and are pre-
pared, under the enlarged capacities, to
accommodate from fifteen hundred to two
thousand guests. The reputation OF the
White sulphur is so extended that little
need be said in commentator of it. As
the center of fashion II has no rival in the
south, and is fast rising to the popularity
of the great resorts OF the North. In point
of the value of its water and the beauty
offts scenery, IL is far ahead of them, and
should attract many of those who are in
the habit of spending their summer vaca-
lions at Saratoga and Long Branch They
will ind more real enjoyment u benefit
there in Virginia than at those over
crowded places. Now that the railroad
Is completed to the White Sulphur and
that access is so easy, we expect to see
the number of its guests greatly in
creased and circumscribed only by the
capacity to accommodate.
The General Assembly Of the Cum
berlaud Presbyterian Church at War
rensburg, Mo-, adjourned Thursday, 26th
inst. The Assembly of this Church was
held this year in the western border Of
the State Of Missouri to accommodate the
states Of Texas and California, as well as
the great Northwest, hence it was the
largest ever held by the Church, between
us and 200 members being present. The
Warrensburg Standard says: The most
able, the most learned, and the most dis
tmguished divines are Invariably chosen
for ModeratOrs. The selection Of DR..
Provine, of Tennessee, by this Assembly,
Is by no means an exception to the rule.
We trust we incur no displeesure by al
luding TO his noble appearance and pleas
ing he seems perfectly at
home as the presiding officer Of a oelib-
erative body, and his methOdical way of
conducting business is truly inimitable.
When he makes a mistake in points OF
order (which he seldom does he submits
to the decision Of the house 50 gracefully
as to cause the appealing brother to
blaze with a blushing regret. There may
be those present who might perform the
duties Of Moderator as well, but surely
not one that can do it better"
The auetioneers' flags are flying and
the stakes are all placed upon those
splendid grounds on Vance, Linden, Gym
thia and Orleans streets, preparatory to
the great sale on Thursday, which we
predict will bring out the most snimated
competition that has been seen at any
real estate sale in Memphis since the war.
If n one has failed to read the III
nouncement Of the sale, we would spe-
cially invite their attention to it in our
columns this morning,
