four pieces of'ordnapSs, four lumber wagons

ance, and looked terror to all evil doers.
Two young men were arrested last night for
disturbing the Union meeting at Forest Hall.
One was made, for his dsorderly conduct, to
fork over S. and costs the other was dis.
charged with severe reprimaud.
1t is confidently expected now that our vol
unteer officers will receive their commissions

prepared 30 that we may soon expect to see
them all out in their proper dress.
Considerable satisfaction is felt among US
