Ceremonies and Casualties In Mem
phis.
LMEMPHIs, December 25.-The attend
ahce at the churches to-day was very
good, but the utmest disorder prevailed
on the streets in the discharge of fire
arms and fire works. The day was unu-
sually warm, the mercury reaching 50
degrees. A large number of accidents
are reported, but, with few exceptions,
without serious results. ADuot noon,
while party of boys were firing toy
cannon, it exploded, and portion of it
struck Willie Galloway, aged eighteen, II
nephew of Col. Galloway, editor of the
APpeai, in the face, destroying his right
eye, breaking his nose, and
infcting wounds which will doubtless
prove fatal. Another piece struck II
negro man, who was passing by, on the
wrist, lacerating it horribly. Another
piece struck Captain Walter Goodman,
Secretary Of the Planters Insurance
Company, on the leg, iniicting slight
wound.

The Day in New York.

New YORK, December 2j.--Christmas
was ushercd IN with driving rain
storm which degencrated into Il drizzlc
that continued intermittingly Though
out the day. The people had hardly
ceased making preparations for the social
observance of the festival, when the
religious servccs were begun at
midnight in few of the
Catholic churches, and in all of these
churches from early morning until noon
now and then solemn high mass was
celebrated for crowded congregations.
The Episcopal churches were filled to
their utmost capacity, especially Trinity,
whero music and decorations are ever
grandcst and most tasteful. In
most of the churches of other
denominations special services were held
and in the lecture rooms of nerly all Il
Christmas tree was raised and laden with
presents for the children. In the charit-
able institutions the Christmas dinner
was provided for the inmates, while the
newsboys, in their two homes, were
bountiiully provided for by Rev. Father
DrumgarIe and Mr. VIM. NJ. Floss. In
neighborsg cities services were of
similar character.

Prospects Of a railroad.

We, are led to refer to the sub
jact of railroad through this sec
ton Of country, by having received
u confirmation Of previous rumors,
that Mr.. Charles Morgan intends
to extend his road from Berwick S
Bay. We have information, in
which we place great confidence,
that if he gains the pending suit
for the franchises of the projected
road from the Bay to Opelousas,
Mr.. Morgan viii apply for char
ter from Opelousas to Alexandria,
and at once begin tho work. In
addition to the large capital at his
command, bis well known energy
and enterprise are sure guarantees
that the road will be rapidly cou-
structed. Mr.. Morgan is q reliable
and responsible man, and what
ever he undertakes, is promptly
accomplished.
Some years ago, MIR. Morgan
applied to the Legislature for a
charter, to build a road to Texas
within short time, and offered to
bind himself to forfeit large
amount, ii he failed to do 50. He
asked nothing from the State, but
the right Of way. The Legislature
thought proper to refuse this
proposition, and accepted one
made BY the Chattanooga Conn
pany, BY which the State was
swindled Of several millions Of dol
lars, ard we have no road yet. The
taxpayers must foot the bill Of
such robbaries, and it is to be
hoped that hereafter, the Legisla-
ture will not commit similar alb
surd and costly blunders.
The country from Berwick's Bay
To Alexandria possesses unsur-
passed agricultural advantages
being noted for its salnbrious oh-
mate, fertile soil and general love
Illness. IA railroad will make it the
greatest country la Che world. we
therefore hope and pray that Mir.
Morgan will gain his suit and live
many years to assist us In devel-
oping Tie immense dormant re-
