vered human skeleton OF gigantic size and
in excellent preservation. Its length, from

They could not measure the circumference Of

imagine about six feet. Two of the teeth were
dislocatcd, and these they brought to town,
and ] have seen them. They are now upon
the counter of the office OF the Pacific Hotel

BURIAL OF a CADET.-The remains of young
Willie Cabell, son of Dr.. r. G. CabeL, OF this
city, were Inferred yesterday at Holly wood
Cemetery. He was killed III May, 1864, in the
memorable charge of the Cadets of the Nir-
ginia Military Institute at Newmarket. He
was buried near the battlefield, and few
days since his body was br ,ught TO Richmond,
his native place, by his parents, for burial here
His funeral was attended by many of his OLD
companions of schools and of arms. Young
Cabell was universally beloved by his fellow
Cadets, and from the high stand he occupied
at the Military Institute, promised to do much
honor to our city. But we will not now enter
into the hopes, virtues, and noble character
istics of one 50 long deceased. 1t would only
serve to open and make fresh old wounds
'Tis sad enough when we follow the remains
of one of the brave TO their last res ting place,
10 think that he is but one of the many OF
Richmond's brightest and best who sleeps III

Tuv ROADS OUTSIDE THE CORPORATION LII
v1Ts-Some of the streets within the city
limits will bear considerable Improvement be-
fore they become endurable, but outside Inc
cornoration line several of the roads are IN Il
condition which might have been eXcusaoie
twelve months ago, but which cannot be now.
The Mechanicsville turnpike, between How
ards Grove and Tenable street, is nearly i'm
passable. Deep ruts and gullies have been
allowed 10 encroach gradually upon the road
way, and at one point the road is so washed
away that these is scarcely space enough Tor Il
wagon to pass At night this part of the road
would be extremely dangerous, as Tor 1our-
fifths of its width it is intersected by steep
and deep gully Two or three more nara
rains will finish the work, and unless the ro;ld
is repaired al once the Mechanicsville turn
nike will soon cease to be one of the avenues
to Richmond. Nenable street is in an even
worse condition than the turnpike. NO Vehi-
Gle but a spEingless cart dare attempt TO pass
along it, and although il is not of great I'M
portance as Il highway, still ii should be kept
in order, if only for the convenience OF th9
neighborhood.
The attention of the county authorizes Is
called 10 these matters, and 1t Is hoped that
they will take immediate steps TO alleviate the
evils of which we complain. If they have not
the means or the power to do II, let them say
30, and the public will not then blame them
fer what cannot be helped.

LOCAL MATTERS.

MAYORS CorRT.-Mayor Saunders disposed
of the following cases yesterday morning:
William G. Valentine was charged with
beating and assaulting his wife. His wife, n
little girl apparently of about fourteen sum-
mers, who had more the appearance of being
his daughter, testified, at n race horse speed,
to the facts of the husbands maltreatment.
Other evidence went 10 show that little Mrs.
Valentine was "little Tartar and was in
the habit of quarreling constantly with her
husband.
Mr.. Jameson, father of little Mrs. Ealeu-
tine, came TO the stand and testified that
Valentine had faxed him for his gal,' but
that he had refused pint blank to let him
have her, because she was too young TO
marry, and % he couldn't have her nohow.
Valentine afterwards married "his gal
without his consent, and I" he must take the
consequences" Doubtless he would have con-
tinued his testimony for several hours had not
the Mayor interrupted him by requiring
Valentine to give security for his future good
behavior.
Maggie Bradley and Nelly Brown were
charged with beating and assaulting Emma
Smith. The Mayor discharged Nelly Brown,
as she had attempted to part the opponents
Maggie Bradley was required TO give security
for her future good behavior.
r. II. Davis was charged with being drunk
and creating q disturbance on the premises OF
L. Cooke by threatening to assault him. lie
was fined twenty dollars for being drunk, and
required to give security for his future good
behavior.
The case of \. J. Berry, charged with
selling lottery tickets, was postponed until to-
day.
TRIAL BY MILITARY CoMuIssGoE.-A few
days since, p. c. Wescott, keeper of a livery
stable on Franklin street, was arrested by
order Of the military authorities on charge
of horse stealing. After a secret investigation
by the Judge Advocate of the Military Com
mission, he has had charges preferred against
him which have not yet been made public,
and he is to be sent on in a few days for trial
before the Military Commission. We under
stand that Mcssrs. J. II. Gilmpr X Son are
employed as counsel for the defendant but as
yet they know but little of the charges.

With fleet of twelve large and splendidly
manned and equipped steamships, and its
immense capital, this Company is without

merchant steamships in the world; these
vessels will be over five thousand tons bur
then, and for speed, convenience, safety and
comfort, will he unrivalled. AS none but
experienced seamen have command of the

nience, speed and comfort, places the Pacific
Mail at the head of our ocean steamship
