fully printed copy of this report, for the
months of May and June, numbering -
pages, lies on our table During these

successor, has arrived in town. ana the
work Of transferring the property, papers
&C., is progressing. Capt. C. is from Min
nesota, and was formerly Quarterm.ster
in the Indian expedition which started ont

discharge the duties Of the office which he
is about to enter with satisfaction. If he
does it rs well as his predecessor, there can
be no grounds for complaint. We wish
him happy career in Davenport.
