The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1866-07-25
FROM MANCHESTER.

ATTENTION. ladies Of Manchester,
whether they have yet attached themselves
to the Memorial Association or not. are
earnestly requested to attend the meeting
on Thursday evening at s o'clock at the
Methodist Church. It Is o national affair,
not social one, and rich and poor alike
should do all in their power to further its
objects.
IMPORTANT TO ALL CoScERNED.-The
Council OF Town Fathers convenes at the
Town Hall on Thursday night at half. past
s o'clock.
The court for the trial of civil warrants
meets at the same place, the same day, at
o'clock p. NJ.
The Philologians hold forth on Friday
night at half-past o'clock, and the attend
ancc of every member is solicited.
Observation-Disclosures has been
considerably agitated lately, first about a
cow law, and then hog law, and just as
We imagined that quiet reigned in Warsaw,
another bone Of contention has arisen, and
this time the cause Of trouble is the dogs.
Our Town Fathers in their wisdom wish the
dogs to be taxed and muzzled, but some
of the townspeople object, and say If dog
is taxed he must not be muzzled, as times
are too hard to hire person to feed and
water him, and propose instead that each
dog shall have medal as his insignia OF
taxation. Some people take it easy, and
others are very indignant, and 60 SO far as
to say that they favor the muzzling of the
Trustees in lieu Of the CANNES. We hope
the matter will be amicably adjusted, and
do trust that no one will introduce another
measure to rufile the temper of our usually
mild and meek townsmen.
THE ARLINGToNs.-The annual picnic
of this club takes place to-day, having
been for unavoidable reasons postponed
from July 2lst. In addition to other at
fractions, a band of music has been en-
gagged, and rare time is anticipated.
ANOTHER PIC-NIC.-The picnic of the
Baptist Sabbath School and the Philolo-
gians takes place early next month. We
believe they design making an excursion
either by rail or canal. The joint commit
tee will meet at the Baptist church on
Thursday at halfpast o'clock, p. NJ, by
order of r. D. Morgan and James A. Cen
try, the representatives of the school and
Philologians.
SANITARY CoSDITION.-We believe that
the health of our town is as good as it has
been at this period for years. Our people
have been blessed with their usual number
of chills, and there is hardly house in
which this unwelcome visitor has not ill.,
trudcd himself; but beyond this our people
have no reason to complain. The condi-
tion of the town as regards cleanliness is
all that could be wished. If our citizens
will only exercise prudence in every re.
spect-eating, drinking, bathing, and ex.
pose themselves as little as possible with
out callSe-we have no hesitation in saying
that this will be one of the most healthy
summers We have ever experienced.
REvIvAL.-Wc have before noticed the
revival at the Methodist church, and we
are pleased to be able to state that it still
continues, and that the meetings are
largely attended and much interest mani-
tested.
TREACHERY.-Elijah,t the colorcd carrier
i'll the employment of James A. Gentry,
news dealer, sent by his employer on
Monday evening to Mcssrs. Cole Turner 5
with funds to settle for last weeks papers,
has decamped for parts unknown, and Mr.
Gentry is very anxious to learn Of his
whereabouts. This will account for his
patrons in Richmond receiving no northern
papers on yesterday. Troubles never come
singly-thc father and brother of Mr.. Gen
try, himself, and his new carrier, are sick
and he respectfully asks the indulgence o.
his friends for few days, confident that
such a streak of bad luck cannot long con.
tinue. The boy had often been sent OF
similar errands, and was considered trust
worthy.
