MAYORS OFFICE, CITY HALL, I
Nl MEMPHIS, TENN, November y, 1873. !
1t becomes men at all times to render praise
and Thanksgiving unto the Dispenser Of all
Good, and particularly does 1t seem suitable
for all communities, at times, to unite To-
gether in such service, and, in their several
places OF worship, to bow in humility to the
chastening hands OF the Heavenly Father in
full consciousness that " He doeth all things
we'll" do, therefore, as Chief Magistrate of
this city, especially at this time, recommend
to all our citizens that
Thursday, 9th November, inst,
be observed by them, in compliance with the
Proclamation of the President of the United
States, and the publicly expressed wish of
many OF the clergy of this city, as a day sacred
to prayer and praise Of Almighty God, and
that all places of business be closed through
out the day.

An Aged Lady Brutality Murdered and
Her House and Person RObbcd-A
Clock Cleaner Also Quietly Butchcred.
BALTIMORE, Nd, Jan. 8, 1873.
Mrs. Mary Ann Lampley, aged seventy-two
years, was found lying in her house last night, IN
the eastern section Of thscity, brutally murdered
The murder was committed during the absence OF
her husband and daughter at the theatre.
Mrs. Lampley was in perfect health when her
family left her. 1t is supposed that plumber was
the object OF the murderer, as about twelve hun
dred dollars were taken from the house and the
jewelry Mrs. Lampley's person was taken of
and carried away. No further particulars have yet
been obtained.
ON sunday evening last the dead body OF Eu-
gene A. Purdell, supposed TO have been French
man, clock cleaner by occupation, was found in o
gully In the vicinity OF Howe's store, in Anne
Arundel county, Md, with marks OF violence upon
1t which indicate that the deceased had been muir
was in company with negro whom he had en-
gagged to pilot him through the country.
The COrOner's jury in the case of Mrs. Mary Ann
Lapsey concluded the investigation this evening
with q verdict that the deceased came to her death
by violence at the hands OF some party unknown
to the jury. The post-mOrtem examination held on
the deceased failed to discover the direct cause Of
death, as no marks of violence were found upon
the body except q few slight bruises on the abdo-
men. The theory advanced in regard to the case
Is that the old lady was smOthered to death by q
piece OF carpet which was found lying by her side
and that robbery was afterwards perpetrated.
