joined IN the 8. Wacht am Rhein," and the Ger

feeling Is still retained, and these interchangs OF
visits increase it. The ChOrals will be received

GREAT IMPROVEMENT.

fernando street 20 be Opened into
U~niOn-GayOsO street abSut TO BECOME
a Highway OF Trame-A Splendid
4 bridge.
Yesterday we visited q place at the
juncture of fernando and Gayoso streets,
in this city, which has been an eye-sore
for several centuries. It was a regular
sink-hols for sometime, at least. The
bridge which led across GayOso street has
been down somstime, and fernando
street never had 3 passage in that direc
ton. At this particular point the bayou
takes several whimsical turns, so that 1t
was thought the neighborhood was past
ali surgery. Alderman Dent, however,
had an abiding faith IN the capacity of the
place. Nearly two years 9 be had an
ordinance showed through the city gov
eminent authorizing the construction Of q
bridge at this point and a general straight
ening out Of the bayou. Nothing was
done, however, during that winter. Dent
kept hammering at the authorities
until 4 contract was entered into
with Charley Jones. This was
in December, 1858. The work was
to be finished by the following August,
but nothing was done except the digging
of two big holes for foundations. The
time at which the work should have been
AAAo4CA w. AoA-F11@u 49,
was under a penalty of FORGETTING fifteen
dollars q day ss long as it remained IN
finished. 1t would have remained unhn-
ished to this day mad not Dent kept ham,
meriug st the business hot and heavy.
He managed to get the contractor at the
work this spring, and when once fairly at
it he pushed 1t ahead with vigor. The
bridge is now finished, 60O,0 O0 brick are
laid In it; and it will last for a hundred
years. It has the advantage of affording
passage for two cross streets. The bridge
runs d~iagoually across the intersection Of
the streets, and is one hundred and ten
feet long 1t will serve as a bridge across
the bayou for GayosO street running east
and west, and for fernando street run
ming north and south. Several men are
now working with barrows cutting away
the dirt to allow the bayou a clear sweep,
The improvement is such as will make
that corner a place OF beauty In the future.

STORM.
Houses Blown Down and UnrOOfed The
Lightning Flashes, the Wind blows,
and the Rain Falls, Bringing Delight
-

Houses Blown Down and OMrOOled -Ihe
Lightning Flashes, the Wind Blows,
and the Rain Falls, Bringing Delight
full Goodness
The storm Wednesday night was pre-
coded by flashes of lightning, which
PLAYED in the heavens from about seven
in the evening to three O'Clock in the
following morning. The play OF electrl-
CITY wss incessRnt. The atmosphere,
which had been remarkably hot and OPP
presaive during the day, was considerably
refreshed by light southern winds, which
blew regularly all Tuesday night. Past
midnight the electrical flashes were tnten-
si6ed. and followed each other with
startling rapidity. The first mutterings
of thunder were heard after two o'clock.
Just as we had Our weary hand on the
door-knob specializing on the possibility
Of sleep, after eighteen ours constant
driving, and fussing, and fretting, and
sweating, the rumble of distant
thunder, away among the far-Of clouds,
reached our gratiied ear. During the
next hour there was a refreshing roar OF
heavens artillery and q constant flashing
of the "vitsl fuid," accompanied by
fresher winds and rain. In the southern
part of the city, the winds blew fearful
Qusts-'great guns" as a old tar would
call it. The lightning danced around the
chimney tops beautifully, and the
rain battered in the most refresh
ing way. If it were not for the
vast benefit of the storm, one would be
inclined to quarrel and fret 0 the
damage that was done. The roof OF Col.
LOOnsy's house, in the Southern part Of
the city, was nearly blown of. The New
Mission church being built in Fort Pick
ering by the Rev. W. M. Patterson, was
blown down. A house on Causey street,
occupied by Mr.. Davis. was blown down.
The house was q double brick tenement,
one half occupied by Mr.. Cleary, spolice-
man, and the other by Mr. Davis, who Is
a member OF the force also. The house OF
Mr.. Whitaker, on Tennessee street, was
terribly shattered by the storm. The
stove was moved twenty-five feet. The
chinneys were blown down, iDjIring the
roof so badly that 8 new roof will be
necessary. Several other buildings in
/ south Memphis suffered to q greater or
less extent. We did not hear Of any
remarkable disaster having occurred.

Mr.. Norton, the energetic President of

the CITY Yesterday. He has passed over
the line Of the road trom Memphis to
D~yersburg, and is confident that counties
and towns along the route viii contribute
all that he asks at their hands.
DR.. W. h Chldress, of LAGRANGE, is at
Minneapolis, in Minnesota. The Doctor
saysit.is hot enough away up there to
melt the conscience of q thieving carpet
Dagger.
We had the pleasure Of meeting Mr.. B.
W, Warner, formerly q resident of Mem
phis, now a citizen of New Orleans. Mr..
Warner il q member of the Board of Di-
rectors of the Southern Mercantile Com
pany of the State of Mississippi, organized
upon the mutual plan. The company is
Incorporated with $1,000,0 600 of capital, and
has the power to increase to $2,OO0,OOO.
It's business will be to advance to planters
and shippers on cotton or other produce,
or to purchase either on its own or on
Joint account with others. The arrange
ments of the company will be so complete
that the charges acsinst the products Of
shippers will be c n .siderably diminished.
The plan of the company is thoroughly
mutual, and shippers are invited to lock
into It, and to become subscribers to the
stock in order to more directly participate
in its mutual benefits. 1t is proposed to
open g branch Office at Memphis. Offices
have already been established at New Or
leans, and one will 500 be at New York.
Vicksburg is the headquarters of the
company.

tended by the jury to erase the sections
from the report. John CRnnavan, h. ID.

Having been assured by the grand jury
that the paragraph in their late report
which asserts that the City Recorder was
in the habit of committing prisoners TO
the County Jail for violating city Ordi-
nances, ETC., was inadvertently left IN the
report, il having been their intention to
strike IL therefrom, and not either to
assert or publish it-alsO, that they did
not intend. to embrace the City Recorder
as such in the said paragraph ofssid re-
port. 70 which objection Wss made by me
I take great pleasure in stating that l
intended nothing personally offensive TO
Mr.. VIM. Gay, the writer OF the said
report. or to any member Of the grand
Jury, by anything contained in my card,

I entertain the kindliest feelings to every
