of Major and Mrs Edward Aagruder

former citizens OF Birmingham in whom
centefed the affectionate interest and the
admiration of hundreds. 1T has not been
many years since Bishop Murray was rec
tor of the Church of the Advent, the pull
pit Of which was recently vacated by the
Rev DR.. William Edwin Evans. During
his pastorate in this city both he and his
charming wife were favorites in society
generally as well as among the people
of their denomination, to whom their de-
partuFe came as a calamity. The visit
of their lovely daughter last summer was
the occasion of series of hospitalitias
inspired not alone by her sweetness and
universal cordiality, but also by the re
gard in which her parents were held, and
thus their own coming was hailed with
the announcement of a series of prospec-
tive social arrangements, thus bespeak-
ing a cordial welcome. Maj. and Mrs.
