He went from here in 1867 to Ruah medical ooilege, Chicago, with which he was connected np to the time of his death. He also com ributed largely, in his younger days, to the medical pruss. Dr. Gunn, leaves three children, a married daughter and two sons. His remaius were taken to Detroit for in terment. Mr. Parker, is the first possibility which has appeared of fllling Mr. Bereker's pulpit. He is the first minister to whom a serious thought has inclined umong any number of the congregation. Dr. Parker was eminently matter of faot. The first things that attracted attention were his voice and his peculiar delivery. The voice is full and resonant, but is made to go through the entire gamut of vocal expression. The effect is at times quite theatrical. When it is combined with his original methods in elocution, the resnlt is novel and strange. He has his owq ideas of linguistic effect in speaking. He frequently ends a sentence with a rising inllection, making the auditor wonder how he íh going to get down. His voice rises and falla and dies a war and roars up in a series of changes whioh eyidently follow no law, but are the result of long habit. Th effect is not unpleasant. It could safaly be said, in fact, of last evening's discourse, that the voice helped the words much moie and much oftener than the worda helped the voice. Dr. Parker is essentially a popular preaoher in his manner. He receiyed a large amount of applause last evening, and he spoke in the manper of one' who is used to applause when speaking. Dr. Parker lectures in university hall this eveuing- New York Tribune. October 4, Dudley Loomis is home again . Bishop Harria was in the city Wed nesday. " A Chip of the Old Block," at the grand this evening. Now that there is a vaoanoy in the office of chief of the fire department it would uot ba out of plaoe to suggesi the name of Moses Soabolt as a gooc one for the place.

He would be apt to find out where .1 fire was before throwing water for a half hours or 80 where no fire existed. ín f act, it would pay various fire oompanies doing business in this city to club together and pay euch a man a salary, as it might be the means of saving them hundreds of dollars.- Courisr.

Tbe house was packed, and hundreds stood in the aisles or paced too and fro in the lobby, unable to flnd a vacant seat. Miss Margueritte Fish as Pixcy, iu "A Chip of the Old Block." dawned her Detroit audienoe as something a revela tion. She was so winsome, so piquant, so altogether attractive, that those who attended the per'orraance only to endure were oaptured liorsc, foot and dragoona before the end of the first act. Siie is bright with a brightneas whioh ie out of the ordinary, and as fresh and new as ttie first kiss tolen over the front gate when nobody s looking. Slie sings well, dancen even jettor, and is as f uil of kicks and suddeu surprisea as the old-time Lotta. 3er support is excellent. Kobert L Soott, as the Commodore, ia a pretty fair sized ahow in himself. Harry Mills, as Liightfoot; and Edward Bates, as Michael O'Bhaghnessy, are "juat too funny for inything"- to use the language of a ady who stood up all through the perormance so aa not to miss any of their un. The Jerusha of Miss Hattie Hayne waa also a piece of artistio work, as was he Francesoa of Misa Marie La Pelle. .n fact the play througout was a popular succeas. To night at the grand.
