applicants for charters for the new national

bonds in equal amounts. There appears to
he difference Of foPinion among fnanciers
in different parts Of the country as to the
comparative value of these bonds, and
changes are being constantly made by de-
positors. Foreign purchasers invariably
ask for the bonds first issued by the Gov

first mortgage, and very few Of the issues Of

Our readers will remember AN account
published in the Patriot, last spring, Of the
elopement of Mr.. Hus<, an elderly woman
of Doniphan county, with rather young
married man named James Wollard. The
elopiag parties took with theD q wagon and
team and some greenbacks belonging to Mr..
Huss, and Wollard left behind wife and
two children. 1t seems that after wandering
around the world for several months with her
paramour, and disIs~ing Of most Of the
property they had started away with, Mrs.
Huss returned to Wolf river few days ago,
and, proceeding to the residence of her hus-
band, succeeded, with the assistance Of her
son, in taking possession of the homestead,
driving the old gentleman away to seek pro-
lection among strangers. At last accounts
she was still holding the post, and her hus-
band was afaid to venture near it. Wollard's
wife and chiApen are staying with hi father
in-law, Esq. Dsrby.-Alekiso~ Iahia.

this account of 500 SO.
wORKHOUsE.
Through the cooperation Of the police
and the several Recorders, the commitments
to this institution during the quarter ending
June thirtieth, had more than doubled the
number of inmates. This course of action
had already driven many noted thieves
from the city; probably relieving the COM
munity of far greater number of persons
of criminal character through fear Of incar-
ceratiOn, than by actual arrest. The au-
thOrity of the Recorders in making some
of these commitments has been questioned,
and a recent decision from the Sixth Dis
trict Court has rendered it prudent for the
Recorders to send many heretofore com
mitted to the WOrkhOuse, to the Parish
Prison. This course of action is already
showing itself in the reduced number at the
Workhouse, and we may expect that again
1t will be nearly empty. There is great need
OF an efficient vagrant law, and till we have
one, the police and the Recorders are not so
far responsible for the government of the
city as the public have generally supposed
The number of inmates, June 30, were
one hundred and eighteen; males tifty-twO
females siXty-six. Greatest number at any
one time. one hundred and twenty-six:
average number, one hundred and fifteen.

Hon: E. W. Pierce, Administrator of Police City OF
New Orleans:
SIR have the honor to state that. in
company with DR.. Russell, secretary of the
board. made an inspection of the Locust
Grove Cemetery, as requested in cOmmu-
nication from your office dated the twentieth
instant.
l recommend that the portions of the
cemetery not already used should be filed
at least eighteen inches: that the graves be
dug IN regular lines, and that a small head
board be prepared for each grave, with
name and date of interment, which could
easily and cheaply be obtained by the use
of stencil plates.
further recommend that once filed. the
ground should be grassed over: all inter
ments cease, and other ground secured for
purposes of burial some miles away from
the edge of the town, as no interments
ought to be made among the crowded pop
ulation of the city.
Very respectfully,
Your Obedient servant,

President Board of Health, State of Louis
lana.
The recommendation of the President of
the Board of Health that grounds for the
purposes OF burial should be secured some
miles from the city, is worthy of the careful
consideration of the Council.
The interment of the dead in the heart of
.populous city, where decomposition takes
place more rapidly than in any other sec
ton OF the country, is certainly inconsistent
with good sanitary laws. Oral complaints
against some of the Incorporated cemeteries
are of frequent occurrence, and it is prOba-
BILE that they will be presented at an early
day in such manner as to demand the at
tention of the Council
The following is an exhibit of the ex
penditures of this department during the

Net cost of institution for month. $3.50 90
The number of employees at the Work
house, including the drivers of the charity

each OF these is equal to that of only two
prisoners, we find the cost for each prisoner
to be about seventeen cents per day.
