Albert and Charles Siblev, have enlisted,
making eleven recruits from this office We
wonder if Q. c. (Which We suppose means
queer cuSs) won't be encouraged to turn out
at least one recruit from the Courier.
Too BAD Mrs. Edmonds died last night
at the old hospital building. At the time her
house was torn down, few days since, she
was sick. The fright ana exposure (havng lain
all night in the woods probably fastened her
death.

labors, in canvaSsing that part of the city
above Iowa Avenue the following statistics
Total number of recruits $50; already in SER
vice 136-leaving balance due the Govern
ment of 446. This speaks we'll for the East
ern portion of the city.
~ Enough barracks have been erected at
Camp Strong to accommodate one regiment.
The frames were up for four more yesterday |
afternoon. These will probably be completed to
day The balance will be rushed through as
fast as possible The camp is beginning to as
sumo something ofa military appearance.

siderable excitement over the rumor Of band
of five hundred Indians being encamped on

enough to do so with impunity,
Coon SUccEss.-Capt. Fry informs us he
has thrA, hundred and eighty names on his
roll all resi-, nts of that part of the city situated

his way to join his regiment, the 10Th, at ke- 3
okuk.
PRovosT MARsHAL.-Marshal James, of this =
city, has been appointed Deputy Provost Mar

linquents. f
