REPRESENTATIVES HALL. We learn that
the seats in the Representatives Hall are to be
rearranged with regard more to the comfort
and convenience of the members than hereto
fore. The desks will be ia rows parallel with
the north and south walls, and having aisles
running down to the front of every second
seat. Thus no member will be placed in the
inconvenient position of an insider, unable to
get in and out of his seat without disturbing
one or more of his neighbors.

their parade through our streets, and precise
military movements elected the attention and
praise of our citizens generally.
This company was organized Sept. 18th, and
since that time have uniformed themselves and
acquired much tact in the latest style of mill
tary dicipline, as their maneuvres in our streets
clearly demonstrated.
