Pco. was officially informed by Col Fremont that
he had taken Two cannons from the Californians;
what cannons these were he never reported to me-
Gen. X further stated that he did not, to this mo-
ment, know whether the one taken by Col. f. was
the same as he (Gen. k lost at San Pascual.
Judge Advocate wished the witness to make
clearer statement Of the matter in regard the lost
cannon.
Gen K stated that the report from Col. f., of the
lost cannon was contained in letter dated JAM Is,
He said that Col. II. had made no other mention 10
him OF the subject.
The report was then read, which stated the arrival
of Col. r. with company of riflemen, (about 1907
with some artillery pieces, among which the Two
taken from the Caifornians We're. That the Califor
MAN force had surrendered to Col. +.

cate paper dated November 3, 1916, which was

EuTERpEAN Conservation the last two evenings
Odd Fellows Hall has again been the home of the
MUSES.. 1t is surprising how much the Euterpeans
have improved by SO little additional practice since
their first appearance among u.s. The novelty OF
their cowbell performances delights less than II
astonshes the large and fashionable audiences In
nightly attendance. The tamborne and bones have
acquired still more extraordinary power; and Mr.
Crosby's laughing glee is totally convulsve of the
most stoica gravity. The excellentreputaon Of the
Harmonious is nseparably connected with the men,
ory of the former efforts Of Mr.. Crosby and Indy
who are both members of the Euerpean Band.
Aside from their intrinsic merits us artists their dis
interested kindness recently manifested at Carusi's
Saloon, in behalf of the suffering Mormons and their
noble purpose TO furnish of their best entertain
ments for the exclusive benefit of the Washington
National Monument Association, entite them to the
most liberal patronage Of the citizens of Washington
We trust the Hall will again be crowded this evening
They WERE SO TOLD Tho dust on Pennsylvania
avenue was blowing about in clouds yesterday, filling
the eyeshnd mouths of pedestrians and damaging the
goods of the merchants. How is ths7 We thought
that the paving Of Pennsylvania avenue would do
away with this abominaton-dust. But II has not
done SO, because after the paving was finished the
avenue was covered over with dirt about or 10 in
ches in depth. The persons were told that the dust
would be as bad as ever. Now If they had have put
on coat Of fine land, sufficient have filled up
~
was not done in that way, and consequently we have
the dust about thick and plentiful ever and the
only thing that can be done is to have the avenue
| swept; which, we hope, will very soon attract the
| attention of our citizens and the Councils.
The MARKETs.--Our marketwas well supplied and
