PERSONAL.

We are glad to be able to state that our
highly esteemed fellow citizen, Mr.. Joseph
Bruce. Of the firm of VIM. S. Bruce & Co.,
who has been seriously i'll for several days
past, is rapidly recovering.
DR.. TicheuOr, pastor of the First Baptist
Church Of this city, returned yesterday
froal st. Louis and Chicago, whittier he
had gone attending the Southern Auniver-
sarias lB2ptist) at the former, and the
Northern Anniversaries sc the latter
place. The Doctor is modest and retiring
in disposition, avers8 to that character of
nOtOriety acquired from newspaper no.

improper method Of placing men of real
worth before the public, and men of de-
served merit lose none OF their influence
for good, by all the p~rOminancy which
may b9.giv8n them by every legitimate
means. DR.. TicheuCr comes among bur

given his life, and such men never fail Of
success in communities so well fitted to

have been induced TO make these remarks
and this alIusiou to the Doctor, because
less has been said of him through the me-

to his own wishesl than Of any other
prominent minister who has come among

citation demanded by his eminent abilities
and worth.
We are panied to learn that one Of the
oldest and most esteemed physicians OF
our city, DR.. James Young, who, for many
years, enjoyed large medical practice in
our city, is lying at his home, four miles
from the city, on the Raleigh road, in a
very dangerous condition We consider
It due to so old and respected q medical
man and citizen to give this notice, that
his friends may see that he Is Well-cRred
for and uursed a5 a critical period. Several
good Samaritans have been in attendance
on him, and his family are giving every
attention to his wants and needs thai ar
lection can suggest. But all his friends
Should know his condition and assist in
afording relief if necessary.
We observe with pleasure The general
satisfaction felt at the result Of the late
election for Assistant Bishop of the Do
cese of South Carolina. Mr.. Howe, late
Of st. Pauls church, Charleston. is we'll
known as a man Of sound and liberal
views, and one well fitted to sustain and
assist the aged and in6rm Bishop Davis,
who, in addition to his total blindness, is
in very feeble health. That no better Sc
I lection than thst Of Mr.. Howe could have
been made, is proved by the fact that the
only opposing candidate voluntarily with
drew, and thus secured for the rector OF
st. PguIs the unanimous vote Of the Con
YentiOn.
