THE SIDEwALKs.-We are glad to OBJ
serve that the sidewalks around Capitol
Square have been entirely cleared of snow
and ice. The work was done Saturday,
and church-goers Sunday were duly CRATE
full. We see little to commend in other
portions of the city, however, the walks
being still generally covered with snow
and ice. The street crossings are also
covered.
MILITARY FUNERAL.-Company A,
Lee Guard, Captain Chas. F. Taylor COM
handing, turned out in full uniform yester-
day afternoon, to attend the funeral of
their late comrade, W. E. Prescott. The
funeral services were performed at the
Seventh-street Christian church, when the
remains were escorted to Hollywood and
inferred, the company firing the usual mil
itary salute over tho grave.
THE FoUNTAINs.-The fountains in
the Capitol Square have the appearance and
proportions of icebergs. We should inn
agine, however, that the pipes are in dam
ger of being broken by the great weight of
the steadily accumulating ice, and suggest
the propriety of turning off the water until
the freeze is over.
MORE SUBSCRIBERS.-0ur WEEKLY
subscription list was increased Saturday by
the addition of a club of fourteen new sub
scribers from Pittsylvania county, a club
of six from Westmoreland county, and
quite number of single names from Bote-
toErt and other counties of the State.
NARROW EscAPE.-A horse attached
to street car slipped and fell on the ice
at the corner of Eighth and Main streets
this forenoon, and but for the slippery con-
dition of the ground would have been Sc
riously injured by the car.
EX-STATE SENATOR LATHAM.-Thos.
N. Latham, late Senator from the district
composed of the counties of Fauquier and
Rappahannock, is reported still in very
enfeebled condition of health at the resi-
dence of his sister-in-law, in New Jersey.
