“Madame Bishop has been reported dead, and her many friends in this city will be rejoiced to find her still in the land of life and song. Her concert last Sunday evening was excellently attended.â€

From a letter dated Dec. 16. “Bishop after having been horribly burned to death by some Hoosier paper, returns to us as crisp and palatable as ever. Her voice is a little worn, but she sings with the same happy success. The widely circulated report of the fatal disaster to this lady is happily without foundation. She still lives.†Signed, “T.W.M.â€
