near the depot at this place, after re-

her off by means of the steam whistle.

to Rem. Hart 1colored) was killed near
the same place.
EDGE HILL CEMETERY.-This beauti-
fnl resting place for the dead, which
was so wantonly desecrated during the
recent war, is now being finely inn
proved. Under the superintendent of
the President, Thomas Rutherford, Esq,
the old walks that were filed up are
being cut out, new ones made, and the
whole of the grounds undergoing gem
eral cleaning up, which, when finished,
will give Edge Hill quite a genteel ap-
pearance, and render it worthy rest
ing place for the heroic Confederate
dead who sleep in peace beneath its
green sod.
