ed upon his person, was brought to q conclusion
Yesterday evening. DR.. Cabeil who attended the

TO see the sufferer, he denied having been injured,
but on the following morning admitted that he
had received severe blow In the abdomen while

blow.
From other evidence. n was cla.r that ,th. A.

Dock SrREET.-The condition Of this
thoroughfare has at length attracted the attention
OF the Council, and resolution requiring an ap-
preparation OF 5000 to pave it, has ben intro
duced into that body, where IL was laid on the
table, probably 10 ''seep the sleep that knows no
waking" We know that the city treasury Ia not
oyerburshened with funds at this true, and that
the work, If substantially executed will cost sew
eral thousand dollars, but every taxpayer iu the
city who knows anything of the inpassabIe con-
dition OF Dock street, and its importance 10 the
mercantile community, will readily pay sn extra
tax to have the work begun at once, and pushed
forward to completion.
VISITING VoLUNTERRs--Iti is not to he
expected that the volunteer companies of this city
will be able to receive and entertain all other
companies that may visit Richmond on the 22nd
instant, for they all poor aud could not afford

welcome to their brother soldiers. Some Of the
companies who have determined to witness the In
auguration, have made arrangements for comfor-
table quarters and others will endeavor to do 90,
before the day arrives The State has, as yet,
made no provision for entertaining the volunteers.
and in all probability will not do so. These that
come, however, will he quartered TO the best ad.

they might at another time, will. no doubt feel
gratifed in having the privilege Of doing hon.
or to the memory Of the greatest citizen soldier
that ever lived. R8N
DEATH TO DoGs.-The Mayor has given
notice that on aud after Msnday night the police
are directed to arrest and Kill all dogs going at
large against the provisions OF the ordnance. IL
any of our readers has faithful or valuable dog,

all he has do Is to call on the Chamberlain, pro-
cure a license, pay $l12lz, obtain medal, attach

THE OREGON HILL people are loud In
| their complaints that the Improvement, promised
them some months, has not been commenced and
Is not likely TO be for some time 20 come. They
are now heavily taxed by the city, and yet cannot
get into the business part Of the town without
first going into fhe county Of Heprico. Not only
are they taxed on their persons and property BY
the city, at the rate with other citizens, bat
In bad weather they have 10 pay an sdditionsl tax
to draymen and wagoners TO get the nscssssries Of
life carried 10 their doors, and all because they
have no thoroughfare between the remainder VI
the city and themselves. How long win they be
required to snfer this inconvenience, is question
OF no little importance to the tax payers OF that
isolated district.
