CoSTRAnASD..-Twoca car loads Of contra
:,ands arrived from Cairo yesterday. Farmers
were here waiting for them, who took most Of
them away Immediately to work on farms and
help save the crops. The war has nearly de-
populated some townships Of able bodied
men, and consequently there isan immense
demand for labor to gather the crops. The
necessity is SO great that people don't stop to
cayii shout colo.. Any one that can work is
accepted But the Egyptian farmers are Sc
curing most Of the contrabands that arrive at |
Cairo. Comparatively few reach the northern |
3.cstion of the State.
SUSPECTED ISFANrIcIpE-AEREsT OF A |
FUNERAL PAKr1.-On Sunday afternoon the
first precinct police, upon information laid |
before them, made q descent upon 4 funeral |
procession and arrested the principal parties, |
Conuor Brennan and his wife, who reside On /
Wells near Tay lor street. They took posses |
zion Of the coffin containing an infant eight |
weeks old, and notified Coroner James, who |
held an inquest yesterday morning.
Ii appeared that Brennan, who is dissi-
pated. brutal fellow, returned home Saturday
evening, intoxicated. He struck lis wife,
who was holding the child in her arms, to the
floor, and then kicked her several times. One
OF bis blows fell upon the head of the child,
just back Of the left car, intlic.ing an ugly

Tue SANITARY COMMISSIONS WEEKLY Re-
roRT.-For want Of space, we are compelled
to omit the weekly report Of receipts By the
Sanitary Commission Of this city-which
should appear in GU. columns this morning.
We learn that on tha receipt Of dispatch,
yesterday afterncoz, from the;ra agent at Cairo,
for shirts and drawers, for the expected
wounded from the late Cor1nth battlefield.
there WIS next TO nothing On hand to meet
the demand. Shipments had been made in
advance TO Columbus, at which point the
wounded were expected to be transferred
The camp at this city had also been supplied
on Saturday 1ast-there being deficiency for
thcsick Of our own volunteers, and the pa-
rolled Harper's Ferry men.
Although there is a gradual increase in the
Supplies received here, yet there seems sad
watt Of action among the people ofthe North
west this fail, in regard to the wants Of our
brave and con4uering brothers in arms Our
own city is not exempt from this charge OF
apathy. All will agree that som thing should
he done to change this state Of things
yet it Is rot quite SO clear how, or what will
accomplish the end desired.
