The Late DIR, LaDSIey,

The New Albany Ledger thus refers to
the death of this well-known divine:
ave have not time, even if our feeli
permitted, to give here fitting tribute
the memory of DR.. Lapsley. lie had been
a servant in Christ and a master in Isarel
that merits more than can be written while
the painful news of his death yet Expresses,
and the sad thought fills our heart that we
shall receive his friendly greeting and hear
his faithful words on earth no more. A
nobler, truer christian gentleman, more
faithful friend, a more earnest, devoted
minister of Christ, a more kind, genial and
afable character in social intercourse, it has
never been our privilege to know. His
death will cast cloud of sorrow over
many hearts. Such men as he are the iv-
ing epistles of the life and doctrine of Christ.
lie had many warm friends at Louisville
and Nashville, who viii learn Of his death
with the deepest regret"

A large Portion OF The Methodist
Roelk Cnnearr, I'm Rt1iras-

Seek Concern I'M Ruins.
About u o'clock last night, IRE broke
out on the northeast corqltr OF the Public
Square, In the extensive building occupied
By the Southern Methodist Book Concern.
For considerable time the flames were
confined to the interior OF the build
inc, and the fire, which had gain
ed considerable Roadway when the
alarm was given continued to spread
rapidly. The building being covered with
tin prevented the flames from penetrating
the roof but all the while the work of de-
structiOn continued inside.
Owing TO the condition of affairs, it was
little difficult for some time TO form plans
for formidable attack. When a fire is
raging under tin roof it requires extra ex-
ertion on the part of the firemen to become
masters of the situation.
The fire commenced in the bindery, and
as the house was closed since o'clock yes
terday evening, its origin is not known.
This was the individual property of John
Locken, of Philadelphia, PENNSYLVANIA, and
was uninsured, though the building belong
ed to the Company. The loss in machin-
cry, ETC., TO this department amounts to
over 100000. There had been an insu-
rance on this until the present year.
Under the bindery were the press rooms
and stereotyping department of the compa-
ny, the contents of which, together with
some small account books, and the
library of DR.. T. o. Summers, containing
some of the most valuable volumes in the
South, were destroyed. The fire was
checked when it reached the rear of the
Book house, on which there is an insur-
ance of $4,000, eq1any divided between
the Andes and Tennessee companies. This
building sustains no damage. What the
loss will be can not at present be arrived
at. Printing material, the composing room,
ETC., with machinery and books were
burned. Including the above amount on
the building uninjured, the company had
$4,000 insurance on the stock and build
ines destroyed. This amount viii not ap-
prOximate the value of the buildings and
stock.
Water was obtained from the Square,
and owing to the distance and the bursting
of the hose, it was, with the exception of
one engine, some time before the Fire De-
partment was enabled TO affect much. One
engine had to change her base of operations
on account of the scarcity of water, and at
one time it was thought that the book
house, McFerlin, Hunter & Co.'s stationery
house, and Kinkaid, Handy & Co.'s drug
house, would be burned, which, however,
was prevented by the exertions Of the
firemen. The loss by this fire will be Sc
verely felt, and its extent is greater than is
generally supposed. A large number of
persons are unexpectedly deprived of en-
ployment which constituted a means of
honest support.

RIVER News.

The river commenced falling at this point
yesterday, with 7 feet scant on Harpeth
Shoals.
The only steamboat movement yesterday
was the departure Of the Tyrone for Cairo,
with fair trip.
The Talisman is due to-day, and is the
regular packet fcr CSirO tomorrow at
P. n.
The Cincinnati Gazette IF Tuesday says:
alright and beautiful was February 18th,
1872. Not only was the sun bright, but the
faces Of our citizens wore a brighter look.
Everybody seemed pleased, but more es-
pecially were the steamboat men in their
best mood. At 8 80 A. NJ the gorge gave
way at the Newport bridge, and the ice
hOated down TO the foot of Walaut street,
where it lodged, quarteTing across the river
to the mouth of Licking. The Champion
No. 8 went up the latter stream to the
Three-mie rifle, and broke the ice 70 that
point, where it lad lodged, having broken
at Falmouth the previous day. At noon
the ice again began to move under the Sus
pension Bridge, and at P. Il. it broke en-
tirely loose above the Newport bridge. The
cakes foated lazily down past the city
wharf, as though 10th 10 leave us. Hun
dreds of citizens were collected on shore to
observe Its departure. it was the easiest
breakup known here for years, but not
without some casualties, as noted in an
other part Of this column. The river rose
about feet, with 10 feet Of water ia tha
channel last evening. All was life and an
imatiOn on the wharf. Boatmen COM
menced preparations Immediately 70 load
their steamers. All the packets win re-
sumo their trades as their regular days
come around. There is not boat at the
landing receiving for the South that could
not secure a full load in a hours time II
the ice was out Of the river. Tonnage Is
scarce, freight is plentiful, and rates are
very high. Add to this the fact that the
railroads leading South are blocked az Nash
vile and below, and it wiz be seen that
some of our steamers are likely to get at
least one paying trip. To-day 50 cents viii
be asked on bacon to New Orleans, $3.50
per bbl. on whisky, and other articles IN
By Telegraph.

The world AImannc for Isze

is without exception the most complete
publication of the kind that has ever been
published in this country. As political
handbook it viii be found most invalu-
able book of reference in the approaching
Presidential campaign. The statistical and
other information it contains is complete
and thorough. Nothing is omitted that
anyone interested in political movements
could desire to ascertain in conducting an
election canvass. The historical depart
ment contains among other things the pro-
visions of the Washington treaty, and
complete chronological record of the i'm
portant events of the past year. Perhaps
the most generally useful department
is that containing the census
and statistical statements, not only of the
United States, but of all the important
countries in the world. The valuable COM
pendulum in this department alone is worth
twice the value of the book to any intelli-
gent newspaper reader. There is besides
all this sporting department giving list
of Yacht and horse races, etc, to take place
in 1872, and complete United States Off
cial list, revised to the day of going to press.
The Almanac contains 156 pages of closely
printed matter, and is sold at twenty-five
cents per copy, post paid, or five copies for
one dollar, post paid. Published by the
World newspaper, IS Park Row, New
York.

Ia PalatiaI EstabIishment.

The new saloon of Nilsson & Waslsh,
Masonic Temple, has been finished and fur
nished, and will be opened to the public
this afternoon at 4 O'Clock. 1t is the most
elegant saloon ever seen in Nashville, and
furnished in pAatial style. The floor in the
saloon proper IS covered with an English
Brussels carpet, and the appointments
Throughout are costly and magnificent. A
large mirror, the same that was on exhibit
ton at our Exposition last springs, has been
placed in front of the bar, and Suspended
from the walls are four handsome paintings
representing the different styles of beauty
in the respective quarters of the globe. The
front entrance is for a cigar and tobacco
stand, and Immediately in the rear is the
saloon, and back of that a sitting room,
furnished in style, with tables and chairs
for the convenience of visitors. There will
no doubt be a large crowd of visitors to the
new establishment to-day.

ALeap year Custom-Perhans.

One of the most decidedly novel and
practicable fancies that Leap year is re-
sponsible for, has been developed in this
city. Last evening one of our uptown
merchants celebrated his nuptials with a
handsome and popular young lady and
started en- route East for a matrimonial
tour. Prior to ''the new departure" and
before the ceremony of bliss was performed
the expectant bridegroom visited the house
of his future spouse aud not only sorted out
but did then and there, being actuated by
cupid and the other attendant angels of
love, pack her trousseau, trunks, band
boxes, etc. This being done he packed his
own and left for bis lodging to array him
self for the ceremonies, doubtless feeling,
with the aphorist, "a bird in the hands
worth two in the BUSH" Long life to the
utilitarian-Ornamental groom and his
partner.

A STABLE INsTITUTION.-Just at the
period when all stabIe-men were complain
ing that the horse-ointments of the day
were unstable remedies, the MUSTANG
IMMINENT made its entree in Missouri,
without any flourish Of trumpets, and with
in one year became the favOrite embrOca-
ton for the external distempers and inju-
ries Of horses and cattle in all the Western
and Southern States. From that time to
this, it has never had rival in the estima-
ton of accomplished horsemen; nor is its
household reputation as a cure for rheUma-
tism, neuralgia, sore nipples and caked
breasts, tumOrs, humps, sore throat, ear
ache, tOOthache, bruises, burns, wounds and
sprains, a whit behind its celebrity as a
horse liniment. The mothers Of America
know its value, and apply it promptly to
the external injuries of the ''rising genera
tiOn," and in fact there is not a city or
township in the United Sattes where the
MUSTANG IMMINENT is not regarded by
both sexes and every class, as blessing to
the community. tebl3 deodlW&W1t

Terrible Storm and Loss Of Life.
CHICAGO, Feb. IA special from Sioux
City saysa terrible storm ragged in that sec
ton Monday evening and night. The
weather was warm and pleasant until P.
NJ, when the storm burst forth with great
fury. The mercury dropped forty degrees
in two hours and the wind blew an icy hur-
ricane, accompanied with binding snow
storm. 1t is feared that the suffering in the
country has been fearful. Samuel Ellison,
living eleven miles out Of the citB left here
at p. NJ. with a team for home and was
found five miles out this morning frozen to
death. Other deaths are reported but moth
ing positive is known as to the truth of the
reports. All the trains on this division of
the Illinois CenEal road are showed in.
The weather is intensely cold. The Their
nOmeter this morning is eighteen degrees
below zero. Owing to the prOstratiOn Of
the telegraph lines by the storm we have
nothing of the reported freezing of Spotted
Tail and eight of bis band, but the story is
generally credited here.
