Cincinnati Gazette, Dec. p.
At the German Reformed Church, corner

afternoon. there was an interesting mar
riage ceremony, the parties to the contract
being Alexander Franz Eur HOsen, Of st.
Petersburg, Russia, and Miss Sarah Epstein,
daughter of DIR. Ephraim Epstein, of this
CITY. The church was crowded with the
friends of the bride and her parents, the Ger
emony being conducted by the pastor, IL.
Heckmann, assisted by Rev. Mr.. Lichten-
stein. of the German Presbyterian church.
After the marriage a select company Of
friends. numbering about score, were in
yjtcd 10 A dinner given in honor OF the oc-
casiln at the st. Nicholas.
TIE bridegroom, dashing fellow, traces
his lineage back to the sturdy mercantile
nobility of Holland. He is man of
wealth. and conducts iourishing tobacco
trade IN St. Petersburg. As to the WOoing
there is a little bit of romonce. In an al
bum at the house of some of the Epstein
relatives in st. Petersburg, the young mer-
chant saw photograph of Miss Sarah. In
a twinkling of an eye he fell IN love, and
EXPRESSED an ardent wish to see the fair
original. Correspondence followed, pho
tographs were exchanged, and about year
AGO Miss EpStein made a visit to Russia.
Preliminaries were arranged, with the re-
suit above stated. The bride and groom
leave for New York, and will thence jour-
ney to st. Petersburg, which city they will
make their home.

MURFREESBORO.

The Monitor once Destroyed by Fire
and Other Buildings Damaged.
Yesterday morning Murreesboro suf-
fered another severe loss by fire, which
originated about 1:30 O'Clock in the Mont
tor printing Office, on College street. The
Office was destroyed and several adjoining
buildings damaged before the flames could
be brought under control. The loss to
Buck & Alexander, proprietors Of the
Monitor, was about 5000, and was in
sured against in the Home, of New York,
for 1000. This was on material. The
building was owned by Mrs. J. Z. Bedford,
whose loss was about $1,000, with no in
surance. Maj. j. D. Richardson lost about
500 on adjoining buildings.
We sincerely sympathize with the ed
itor and publishers of the Monitor in their
calamity, and hope they will not find it
difficult to recuperate. Their paper is
among the best weeklies in Middle Ten
nessee, and we are glad to have the as
sIIrance, which is given, that they will re-
sumo its publication as soon as materials
can be procured.

THE FREEDMAN's BANK.
Chancellor Cooper Will Interfere rs
Little as POssible-He Appoints the
Cashier Receiver.

Cashier Receiver.
Chancellor Cooper delivered the annexed
opinion at chambers yesterday on motion
to appoint a receiver for the Nashville
branch of the Freedman's Bank, in accord
ance with recent decision:
b. Hadley ct al. VS.. Freedman's Saw
ings and Trust Company ct al.
This case comes before me at chambers
upon the motion of the complainants for
the appointment Of receiver OF the prop
erty in controversy. This property consists
Of the banking house of the agency at
Nashville aud loans on mortgage TO the
amount of about $1,000. The creditors Of
the Savings Company who have, up to
this time, made themselves complainants,
are depOsitors to the amount of between
seven and eight thousand dollars, these de-
positOrs constituting about one-niDth Of
the claimants in this State.
The conclusion to which l have hereto
fore arrived in this case, is that the CON-
claimants are entitled, if they insist upon
it, to a receiver for the property and effects
of tie company sought to be reached by the
bill. But, inasmuch as the depOsitors in
this State will, in no event, be entitled to
more than their pro rata of the assets ofthe
company, and, as it may be very doubtful
whether il is their interest to burden the
fund with litigation, l feel that it is my
duty, in acting upon this motion, to look as
well to the interest of the large body Of de-
positors as 10 the interest of the fraction of
them at present directly represented on this
motion.
Under these circumstances, and in view
of the fact that the large majority Of the
depositors may prefer to allow the institu-
ton to be wound up by the Trustees ap-
pointed under the act Of Congress, am
inclined to interfere at present as little as
possible with the affairs of the institution
/ shall, therefore, allow the agent of the
Trustees, j. j. Cary, TO continue in control
Of the property OF the company, upon hi:
giving bond, with good security, in the
sum Of ten thousand (S10,O00) as receiver
conditioned for the faithful discharge o.
the duties Of receiver, and to account FOL
and pay over the money realized as anC
when ordered.

Starving Cows.
} the rnion and American.


l notice in this days issue of your paper
that there is a law in this State TO prevent
cruelty to dumb bruteS. L really did not
think there was one. Anyone can see in
this city, night after night, scoles Of poor,
halfstarved COWS roaming the streets and
picking up the garbage that they are fortu-
nate enough to find. If there is law to
prevent cruelty to those poor creatures, 1
think it should be the duty of our city Of
ficials to see them impounded and fed, and
make the owners Of them pay the expense,
ard suffer in some way beside. 1t is dis
grace to a community calling themselves
Christians. The merciful man is merciful
to the beast. 1 could say great deal
more on this subject, but a word to the
wise is sufficient. Please insert this for
humanity's sake, and Oblige

THE DRUGGISTS MEETING.
Resolution Adopted to Form a Mutual
Benefit AssOeiattOn-An OGset 20 the
Medical Society.


A meeting of the druggists of the city
was held last night, at the drugstore of w.
ID. Kline, corner Of Church aud Summer
streets, at which the following were present:
j. W. Richards, Benjamin Lillard, NJ. G..
Curry, W. G. Smith, W. II. Smith. W. ID.
Kline, r. II. Page and 4. II. Gordon.
On motion of w. d. Kline, j. W. Rich
ards was called TO the chair.
DR.. Lillard, in explaining the object of
the meeting, said it was to effect a local
organization Of the druggists for their mu-
tual benefit The physicians had similar
organization. aud if the druggists had to
deal with them, they could best do it as a
body. The question between them was
not one-sided affair; the druggists were
not doing all the. bad things.
The reason why they had
never accomplished anything here
tOfore, was because their meetings were
public, and people went there for the pur-
pose of advertising preparations they were
manufacturing. He thought it would be
best to form a secret order, but not to have
too much ritual; it should be plain and
simple. He would like to see the expert
ment tried, for he thought it would be sue
ceSSiul.
Messrs. Kline, Curry and Gordon spoke
in favor of local organization, aud showed
the advantages that would be derived there
from.
Mr.. Curry thought the druggists should
keep a delinquent list, and abolish the
practice of distributing blank prescription
lists. He moved to appoint COMMITTEE
of three to draw up plan Of organization
and submit a report at the next meeting.
The mation was carried, and NJ. c. Curry,
Benz Lillarl and w. d. Kline appointed
As the committee.
The meeting then adjourned until next
Tuesday nigh.
