FUNERAL OF GEN. LAMBERr.--It has been
suggested that it would be only fitting and proper
mark Of respect to the memory of the late
Mayor of this city. for the merchants to close
| their stores to-day during the movement OF the
| funeral procession. The volunteer regiment and
| the Free and Independent Order of Masons will
turn out in full force; also will the citizens;
business generally will consequently be suspended;
the occasion will be solemn one, and its effect
will be much enlenced by the merchants closing
their doors.
CoRREcrroN.-A short time since couple of
gentlemen from Nelson county visited this city
and became innocently involved in matter which
led to their introduction to the Mayor. One of
them, Mr.. VIM. NJ. Harris, received from the
other, Mr.. Crawford) bank note ofthe denomi-
nation OF $500, which was declared to be
terfeit by citizen ofthis city. to whom Mr.. H.
proposed passing it. The police were called in
end the parties handed over to their care. On APP
pearing before the Mayor. Mr.. Crawford proved
that he had obtained the note from a citizen of
Nelson county, who happened to be in the city
at the time, and had loaned it to Mr.. Harris I'M
der the conviction that it was genuine note
The explanation satisfied the Mayor of the total
absence of any intention to commit a fraud, on
the part of either of the gentlemen, and they
were accordingly released from custody. In no.
ticing the case Mt the time, an error was commit
ted by our Reporter. He stated that Mr.. VIM.
w. Harris of Nelson, the gentleman who
had offered to pass the note. Now it seems that
a gentleman ofthat name resides in Nelson coun-
ty, and has been sadly annoyed by the commission
of the error--frends far and near making enqui-
RES through the mail and otherwise about the
matter. We therefore ask those renders of the
the name of Mr.. VIM. VI. Harris for Mr. Vim.
W. Harris and thus do justice to truth as well
as to one ofthe most est mable gentlemen in the
State. Will those papers which copied our no
tice do us the favor also to note this correction
