the purpose of going to the Post-otfice 10
mail a letter, and, when opposite the
Courthouse, was attacked by two men
who came up behind him, knocking him
down and attempting the idastardly
deed. He recovered sufficiently to re-

| LEXINGTON, KY.-Elder W. H. Hop
son, OF st. Louis, preached to large ,con-
gregatiOns at the morning and evening
exercises in the Main-street Chris tian
| Church ON Sunday. AT the conclusion
of the merning service $1,000 was raised
for church purposes, Mr.. Hopson having
previously appealed to the generosity OF
the members. Elder Hopson is a very
pleasant and talented speaker. During
the years of 1851 and 1862 he was in
charge of the then only Christian Church
in Lexington, which grew under his
charge SO fast as to require the purchase
of another meeting place on the corner
of Broadway and Second streets. Dur
ing the late protracted meetings forty
eight persons united with the Main
street Church.
The hasty condemnation Of the old
Catholic Cemetery, on Third street,
which was forced through the City Cuun-

has created some unpleasant feeling
among some lot owners. Col. Breckin-
ridge appealed to the Council on behalf
:. of these persons, and inquired ii it
would not be infringing on their title 10
close it up without their consent. Mr..
MuIligan arose and denied that these lot
owners had any title to the ground, de-
claring that the title was in Bishop
Toebbe's name; and continued insisting
4 until he had every member silenced.
When the final vote came, Mr.. Boyd,
with much reluctance, voted in the
affirmative. Mr.. Mulligan should be
made to know that this land was pur-
chased for its present use before he was
able to toddle.
