Why Do Not the Richmond Mechanics
Advertise?


Advertise?
The writer of this article has had occa-
sion, more than once, for the services of
mason and carpenter for small jobs, and
has been at loss to find some one to un-
dertake the work.
The mechanics Exchange" to be of
any use to one wanting such services,
ought to have the names, residences, and
occupations of those interested in it, post
ed up, so that any one can find the man
he wants, or man who understands the
kind of work desired.
Some kind of advertisement is much
needed, and the man who has enterprise
enough to advertise himself, not only makes
himself known, but by so doing gives in
some sort pledge of his competency for
the work and his faithfulncss in executing
it. Such man would certainly have pre-
ference given him by the unhappy possessol
of SMOKY CHIMNEY.

The Chicago Common Council has drafted
arordinance that all bread, etc., shall be
stamped with the initials of the makers
name and with the figures indicating its

thus stamped will subject the maker to
a fine Of $40 and the cost of prosecution.
Another section imposes fine of 500 for
any adulteration of bread.
Just what we want here in Richmond.
Much of the bakers bread nowadays is
too mean to eat, and, friend says, sour
and acts on the stomach like "pizon."

A DEAD HOUSE, necessityis very
apparent that the city authorities should
provide adequate facilities for properly talk
ing care Of dead bodies when the circum-
stances of death render it the duty of the
officers of the law to take charge Of such
dead bodies. At present there are no pro-
visions for the exigencies of such cases, and
the coroner is left to his own resources, and
is often compelled to allow bodies to lie ex-
posed to public gaze and remark for want
of place Of deposit for the purposes of in
QUESTION, identification, or post mortem ex-
animation, as the case may be.
OF course, no intelligent, humane citizen,
would like to refuse to open his doors to
to the dead and dying, but it is an imposi-
ton which the city has no right to ask. A
room or rooms for the proper care OF
bodies falling to the charge of the city,
should, therefore, be at once provided,
We hope the subject will be considered by
the Council at an early day.

Another Act OF official Oppression

The circumstances of su arrest made in
this vicinity at late hour last Friday
night, are of such a fisgrant and outrage
Gus character as to demand public execra-
ton, if not the indictment by the grand
Jury of the perpetrators. With the su-
thority CT warrant issued by the negro
Justice Campbell, charging Mrs. Garrett,
an elderly white lacy, with obtaining
goods under false pretenses, g negro con-
stable, in company with two negro ''depu-
ties" proceeded TO her house after she had
retired to bed and demanded admit
lance. Forcing open the door the
black miscreants f1rcibly seized the
dragging her into the hack, conveyed her
to the residence of Justice Wilkinson with
the ayowed intention of having her COM
mitted to jail. Justice Wilkinson declined
to do as desired, aud telling the woman to
report next day, released her FROM arrest
aud sent her home. On Saturday Mrs.
Garrett appeared at the Office of Justice
wilkinson, who, beiI 6 at the time too
| much engaged to hear the csse transferred
it to Justices Wherry and Paul. The trial
resulted in the acquittal of the accused,
the evidence showing that the prosecution,
Ike the arrest, had been malicious and
| without sufficient cause. Mrs. Garrett
vas subsequently srrested on g similar
warrant, and declining very properly to
be tried by negro Magistrate, the case was
transferred to Justice Cassetty, by whom
she was again acquitted, no prosecutor ap-
| psarirg against her. Il is to be hoped that
The parties guilty Of sny participation in
this vile outrage against a sick, defence
| less and innocent woman will be pointed
| out to the officers of the law and condiguly
punished for their rascality.

The barometer has fallen slightly at
Rocky Mountain stations with increased
temperature since Monday evening. The
pressure, after rising considerably in the
Southern and Gulf States, is now station
airy OF falling, but remains highest in that
region. The falling barometer which on
Monday extended. over the Lakes, has
been followed by a rise in the extreme
Northwest. An area of very low barometer
has moved very rapidly eastward, and is
tnow central in New York. Southwest
winds prevail in Atlantic States and west
ward to St. Lawrence and Ohio rivers.
Northwest winds are reported from Lakes
Michigan and Superior. The temperature
has generally fallen east of Mississippi
with increased humidity in the Atlantic
States. The area of the threatening
weather and zeal storms has moved very
rapidly eastward, and now extends along
the coast from Maine to North Carolina.
Light rains are reported from Tennessee
southwestward. A severe storm of special
severity appears to have passed from Viz
GINA to Cape May.
PYo6a6iIsties.-Theb barometer will prob
ably rise with partially cloudy and pleas
ant weather Wednesday north and west OF
Ohio. Cloudy and threatening weather is
probable for the Gulf States. Fresh south

struck Oil.

While Col. A. R. Alley, who lives near
Wartrace, had some hands at work on
road near his residence few days ago, 1t
became necessary to remove a large rock
on q bill side about twenty feet above the
general level. In doing so the hands
broke off piece weighing about one hum
dred and fifty pounds, which upon e1amin-
alton was found to contain a number OF
holes, all filed with oil. Col. Alleys son,
who YVES with the party, obtained from
this rock upwards of quart OF oil. The
rock when broken appears perfectly solid,
with a dry blush cast, but Immediately
oil oozes out, and changes its color, and
soon begins to drip. Col. Alley is elated
with the prospect Of oil, and expects very
soon to make thorough investigation OF
the matter. We have received specimen
of the discovery, and it certainly has the
right sort of favor.

Close Of the Alrgumenf IN tae Case
Of Col. A. n. Oolyar vs.. w. G. Ewin,
Clerk of the tIouney Court.
Before Judge Baxter, sitting by inter-
change with Judge Guild, of the Law
Court, Col. A. s. Oolyar yesterday made
the closing argument in the agreed case to
test the constitusionality of the act of AS
sembly passed on the 18th of March, 1865,
requiring attorneys who have been prac-
ticing five years to pay privilege fax of
fifteen dollars, now in all amounting to
forty-fise dollars. The argument of Col.
Colyar was indeed a mastery effort, and
full of strong argument and profound
reasoning. We regret that our limited
space ct present forbids extended reference
to some of the leading points made in this
argument. Judge Baxter, in order to
thorough examination of the authorities
cited, defers for few days rendering his
opinion in tina case. --s ID &.

Interesting suit.

An interesting suit is now being tried
before Chancellor Marks at Columbia,
Tennessee. 1t is that Of Lemuel Long and
willis B. Long vs.. Heirs at Law of Willis
81. Boddie. Upon part of the complain
anti, it is legged that Willis H: Bcddie,
who died in 1841, died testated leaving
the large bulk of bis property, estimated
to be worth now about $500, 600, to the
compliments, who are his grand nephews.
It is further alleged that this will was de-
stroyed, and that the knowledge of these
facts was but recently made known to
complainants. These allegations are de-
MED by the defendants. A large number
of respectable witnesses have been exam
ined by both parties, and it is supposed
that the reading of their dispositions and
the argument of counsel will consume the
week. The high responsibility of the par
ties, and eminent legal talent employed by
both sides, taken in connection with the
facts given to this suit, create very great
irfare ct

preservation of Dead Bodies

The efficiency of Tsy or's system for the
reservation Of dead bodies preparatory
10 interment, recognized BY undertakeTs as
tie most perfect ever devised, has been
in several cases practically demonstrated
by ]. Il. OurIes W tn n the past lew Gays;
The body of j. W. Hickman, who dieo
last Friday evening, and was not inferred
until Sunday afternoon, had this means OF
preservation applied to it, and had under.
gore no perceptible change at the time OF
burial. The same may be said OF several
other Instances Of recent occurrence.
