amble and resolutions, relative to the death of Bro.

WHEREAS, It hath pleased Almighty God, the
Dsposer of human events, to remove from our
midst, our highly esteemed and beloved brother,
George W. Groom, who, from the time of his ini-
tiation until his death, has been a most exemplary
member of our Division, and a Jealous advocate
and ardent supporter Of Temperance. Therefore
be it
Resolred, That in the death Of brother Groom
our Division has lost a warm and ardent advocate
of its principles, and the community a highly re-
spectacle and worthy citizen.
Reso1ved, That we truly sympathize with the
widow and relatives Of our deceased brother, in
their sore bereavement though they are called
upon to mourn the loss Of one who was near and
dear to them by the ties of nature, they sorrow not
as those who have no hope.
R~eso10ed, That as a tribute Of respect ever due
our deceased brother, for the love he manifested
for our Order, we wear the usual badge;of mourn
ing of the Sons Of Temperance for thirty days

TO THE CITY COUNCIL:
/ will not be able to attend the Board tonight
l recommend that a day be appointed for the free
negroes to attend at the Intendant's office and get
permits, Sc.
An Ordinance ought to be passed requiring those
also who arrive afterwards, to report to the author
tiles, and these duties should be enforced by penal
ties. Perhaps persons of this class who reside out
of town and work in town, should be included.
| also recommend that troughs be ordered to be
made to conduct the water from the roofs ofhouses
across the pavements and side walks to the els

one Of the new and handsome military
companies just formed in this city, the 4" In
dependent Guards in attendance upon the

This is tho first time that any of the different
military organizations, that have existed
in our midst. has been present at these

pie so well set by the Independent Guards
will form q precedent that shall be generally
followed and observed hereafter. 1t delights
me to give honor, where honor is DUE

If you are sick, the probability is that the root of
your suffering is in the stomach. From a weak
stomach proceed dyspepsia, languor, oppression in
the diaphragm, ~iaundice, headache, nausea, bodily
weakness, dimness of sight, heartburn eostiveness,
dysentery and a legion ofother tormenting diseases.
Indigestion produces thin blood, and therefore de-
stroys the strength and vigor of the system. To
restore the tone of the stomach, and enable it to
throw off and dismiss forever all these tormenting
and dangerous complaints, nothing is necessary but
a persevering use of Hoofand's German Bitters,
prepared by DIR. G.. NJ. Jackson, Philadelphia
