City Notices.

THAT PIANO We noticed in our last that the
$500 Stief Piano, offered as premium by Mr..
c. A. Gladke to the largest cash buyer of 1872,
was awarded by the Committee to Maj Ed
Mcmahon. The formal presentation of this
splendid premium was made by the Committee
on Thursday night last, number Of prominent
gentlemen being present. A most sumptuous
repast was served, Maj. Mcmahon doing the
honors of the occasion in old Virginia style and
all present enjoying themselves to the fullest ex
tent. The pleasures of the evening were much
enhanced by Prof Richard and Mrs. j. J.
McMahon, who presided at the Franc, the latter
being the recipient of the premium Piano, as
New Year present from her father-in-law-a
most appropriate New Years Gift, and most
worthily bestowed.
Mr.. C. A. Gladke, as a live business man made,
the venture of offering this splendid prize, and
was rewarded by an increase of business during
the year of about ST. 0 GOO, amply compensating
him for the present of Piano. In this connec-
ton it occurs to US that but few merchants in
the State would take such risk, and it is there
fore to the praise of city that of it's bust
ness men had the nerve to offer such premium
to cash purchasers, and successfully carry out
the programme. Mr.. Gladke has done this in
creased his business near fifty per cent, and we
hope his liberal advertising and low prices may
increase his business still more this year.

Tributes Of Respect.

AT a meeting of the Session of the Presbyte-
rian church of Stanton, on the 5th inst, the
following Minute was adopted
1t having pleased God to take from, by DEATH
on Ihe 25th ofNovember last, our beloved asso-
ciate, ALEXANDER Il. TAYLOR, we desire to record
our appreca ton of his character and sense of
loss especially that those coming after US may
have the incentive of his example.
Mr.. Taylor was constitutionally modest and
nnobtrusive, but never declined any duty to
which he was called firm in his maintenance Of
right, but free from malevolence towards those
whose conduct he condemned; a citizen of I'M
suspected integrity in all his trarsactions
conscientious, prompt and cheerful giver to
worthy objects; safe and trusted counsellor;
a faithful and sympathzng friend. He com
manded our implicit confidence and warm sffec
ton. We are tempted to say, that his loss to
US as Session and individually eau never be
supplied, and we shall cherish the remembrance
of him as of one greatly beloved
In early life, Mr.. Taylor became member of
the church in full communion, and ever after
wards adorned the doctrine he protested He
lived daily in the fear of God lie was what he
was by the grace of God. In view of the holt
ness of God, he renounced his own righteousness
as ground Of justification, and apprehended
the Lord Jesus in all his Offices as set forth in
the Gospel Thus having lived tits hardly nee
essary for US to add that he died in the conf
dence of blessed Immortality beyond the grave.
