CORRECTION. were in error in stat
ing that the death of Mr.. Isaac Falls oc-
CURED at Peru, Illinois, and that he had
been to Memphis to recover tools which he
had been obliged to leave when the Union
men were driven out of Memphis.
Mr.. Falls, like many other St. Panl
mechanics, went to Memphis about three
years ago, attracted by the remunerative
prices paid for labor. From thence he
went to Sardis, Mississippi, remaining until
last July. He then came to st. Paul, to
see his family, intending to return soon,
but was detained by i'll health, and did not
get off until January. He then started
for Sardis, to collect his earnings there,
wind up his business, and return with his
tools to St. Paul, in April; but he was SO
much worse on arriving at Memphis, that
he could go no further, and only aimed to
return to St. Paul, to die He got as far
as st. Louis on the 18th of April, and died
on the 18th. He was member of the
Baptist Church in this city, and Of the
Odd Fellows; and it is at the request Of
some of his friends that we make this
statement to correct some erroneous inn
pressions made by our former statement.
We understand it is the intention of the
Odd Fellows to bring his remains to this
city for interment.

FUNERAL OF THE LATE MAJOR HOWARD

FUNERAL OF THE LATE MAJOR HOWARD
STANsBuRY.-The funeral of this late Ia
mented gentleman took place on Tuesday
from the House Of Hope. The funeral
procession was a most imposing one and
attracted large numbers of spectators.
The cortege moved from the church in
the following order:
Great Western Band.
Band from Fort Smelling.
Colonel Crooks.
Six Companies of Soldiers from Fort Smelling.
The Masonic Fraternity.
Officers of General Sibley's Staff
General Sibley.
Escort Escort
of The Hearse. of
Soldiers. Soldiers.
Carriages.
On the arrival of the procession at the
Cemetery, the usual Masonic rites were
performed at the grave; after which the
firing party which had done escort duty
fred three voleys over the grave, and the
procession returned to the city.

We do not believe there is city more
afflicted by swarms of worthless dogs than
st. Paul. In some localities they have
become such an intolerable nuisance that
their wholesale slaughter has been deter
mined on, by bullet and poison. The
night is literally rendered hideous by their
howlings and the sick, to whom sleep is
a vital necessity, can no more enjoy "na-
lures sweet restorer" where these nuisan-
ces abound, than they could in Pandemo-
mum. There is not one in a thousand
that is worth his daily meat, and the city
would be better off if they were all ex-
terminated.

DEATH BY DROWNING. passenger on
the Antelope, on her up trip to Man.
kato, on Friday, named Laroux, was
drowned at LIE Sueur. He got on board
at St. Lawrence and bought ticket for
Ottawa. He got out during temporary
detention of the boat at Le Sueur, and
went back with bottle of whisky in his
hand, being somewhat intoxicated. He
shortly after fell overheard and was
drowned, Notwithstanding every attempt
was made to rescue him. His wife was
on board and her distress was pitiable.
The body could not be found.

SHADE TREEs.-Much good and profta-
BILE work has been done in our city, in set
ting out shade trees, and we venture to
say that no expenditure has been more
profitably or usefully made. There is no
man owning or controlling a lot but can
afford to improve it with forest shade
trees. and after the trees are once set out
the time occupied in boxing, protecting,
and caring for them for two or three
years, until they are strong enough to care
for themselves, is but trifiing. In after
years, when we, perhaps, have all passed
awav. and the saplings we nourished so
carefully shall have grownt to giants, there
will be those who will rejoice that we
planted them, and the work OF our hands
will be the pride and beauty of the place.
The best monuments which can be reared
to the memory of man, are trees, for they
tell of good taste, or of a love for the
beautiful, and of that unselfshness which
looks as we'll to the welfare and comfort
of his fellows as of himself

schools for nine months, according to the pres
ent system, is about $1,000, no other system of
education in the common English branches,
can permit instruction at o rate so low.
TIE Public Schools of this city have been
supported the past year without any special tax
on the city for their maintenance. The funds
have been derived wholly from the current and
delinquent State tax of two and one-half mills.
Our Schools cannot be essentially improved
except by enlargement extending the system,
and erecting new buildings. We may not rea-

efficient or intelligent corps of teachers than
the present.

How the Whigs of Virginia Vote.

From the Richmond Examiner 10th.
1t would be an accusation too general
and too harsh to say that the Wings of
Virginia, as party, have determined, un-
der loud professions of "no-party feel
ings and purposes, to cast strict party
vote in the approaching election. But it
is notorious, in many counties of the State,
that they have thus voted in recent local
elections for municipal officers, and that
they are now employing the machinery of
party with reference to voting in May.
This action might be excused to narrow
ness of mind, ignorance of public exigen-
cies, and confirmed habits of intolerance
and antagonism, if they confined their
Vaccinations to securing only combined
vote OF their own party associates. But
their action assumes villainous character
when they endeavor to seduce Democrats
to their support by appealing to the old
Union sentiment which so strongly actua-
ted the Democratic masses in other days.
BY attempting to prejudice them against
the Democratic men as the authors of our
present war, and by insinuations busily
whispered into ignorant ears, that the
Wing party could have prevented the dis
solution, and is now the only party capa-
bic of restoring the ancient condition Of
things, large portion Of the Wings of
Virginia will hear of the policy of some of
their associates with horror and indigna-
ton. But as surely as the sun shines in
the heavens, these dark pictures and dam
nable Vaccinations are busily practiced in
the name and on the behalf of the Whig
party, in holes and corners of Virginia.
The practices thus alluded to are of a
character so infamous that it would not
comport with public interests to expose
them. The time will come, however, when
they will be brought to light, and it be-
hooves the Wing party, as party, if it
chooses to persist in maintaining its organ
ization through all vicissitudes, to look
well to the action of its secretly-working
agents and minions in this matter. If it
neglect this timely supervision, it may
find itself some day covered with stains of
infamy and loads of odium, which will
forever exclude its members from public
favor and popular support.
These remarks are made in no unfriend-
ly spirit to single Whig candidate in the
field for election, and without a particle
Of hostility to the party itself, or to sin
gle individual known to be a member of
it. They are made in the spirit of friend
ly warning, and to prevent, as far as tenn
perate expostulation can do, the state
ment in Virginia of great public scandal;
and we may accompany these remarks
with the declaration that the Democrats
of Virginia intend, in good faith, in the
approaching election, to cast their votes
for men believed to be of the most ability,
and most suitable for public exigencies,
with entire disregard of their past politi-
cal associations.
