Bishop Qulntsrd viii preach in Calvs-
" Church this morning, and administer

in the First Circuit Court, on yestsr-

Company against r. Dean and others, was
removed to the L. s. Circuit Court, as to
Thompson Dean.
The Memphis Baptist says, tersely
and honestly, Memphis has, in this year
| Of grace, 1871, been favored, or fooled,
with an exciting and silly ghost story,
which, in the language which gives our
/ rency' to lies, sis reported and by many
/ believed"
"A sad accident occurred on the Mem
/ phis and Ohio railroad yesterday. A re-
/ spectacle citizen of Memphis. named
/ Daniel Farrell, was killed 20 Galloway
station. A train ran yer him, killing
him almost instantly. His remains were
brought TO his former home, 400 Main
street, this city. His funeral viii take
place to-day.
AT the regular monthly meeting of
the MendeLsS0hH Quartetts Cub, the fol-
lowing gentlemen were elected officers
for the ensuing year: L. HerZOg, Presi-
dent; Mercer Otey, Vice President; ".

Elliott, Librarian; j. Kirkland, Frank
Seay, and J. Gideon, Committee on Mu-
sic.
The Gr~sves-POstOn case was up before
the Criminal Judge yesterday again for
argument. IC took up all day arguing
points Of law and worrying former jury
men with the view of getting out some
thing on which TO hang q preteXt for a
new Trial. but with what success remains
to be seen. A decision may be given az
sny time within the month.
The Coroner held an inquest on the
body CT a person named Fulkhem yaster-
day, on Jackson street, who had dropped
dead g. ten o'clock the previous
night. The few facts elected in regard to
the msn merely went TO show that he had
been hsrdiug cattle for a Mrs. O'D8unell,
on the Raleigh road. and that be had come
into town the day previous for medical
assistance FOR the diptheria, and that at
ten z cock that night he dropped dead.
The jury said he died Of diptheris.
in The notice We made Of the presenta-
ton Of handsome stand Of COlOrs to the
Emmett Guards, we failed. though mad
vertently, to mention the fact that smong
those who were principal in getting up
and subscribing for b nag were Mrs.
Bsbb, Mrs. Owen Smith and Mrs. owen
Dwvsr, ladies' distinguished for earnest
pisty and patriotism. They not only gave
Of their money willingly but eXerted
themselves 20 induce others to follow
their example. The Catholic community
Of Memphis affords no more earnest
workers than these three ladies.
A lady correspondent writes US upon
the education Of daughters. and suggests
some articles upon the subject, and says:
81 think the daughters Of d house should
be taught some occupation that would
make them feel proud 70 say: u can take
care Of myself and not have to be
wounded and mortified every time you
need a Cress OF a pair Of shoes. A great

their whole duty if they feed, cloths and

daughters after misery; but I do. 1t is a
sin Of omission Of duty. A father should
