the same State, on Saturday last, in

CONC TO KNOXvHLE.-We learn
from the Press and Herald that the
publication office of our confrere, the
Holsaor lIethodist, will be removed
from this place to Knoxville about
the first of November. The lfetho-
dist, in the short time it has been
published, has won a reputation for
editorial strength, and efficiency as a
Church paper, that demands larger
and more representative city for its
location, while its subscription list
has increased with rapidity never
before equaled by paper in East
Tennessee. The principal editor, Rev.
r. n. Price, has all the purity and
perspecuity in composition that
marked and popularized the writings
Of the venerable DIR. Patton, in the
old Methodist EpiscopaIiaa, and en-
joys similarly the entire respect and
confidence of neighbors and the
Church in the position he fills. We
can readily see how such man could
be forced to surrender personal pre-
ferences in the matter of location to
the voice of the majority. We are
sincere in our regret at losing such
1eighbors and citizens, but wish them
IN abundant success in their better
field for usefulness, and hope their
Methodist will continue pecuniarily
a success.

would necessarily be some deposit, which one
might call. ashes OF tho dead; and these
might be reverently gathered and placed in q
beautiful urn or vaso. to be disposed Of accord-

easily be deposited in consecrnted places, IN
