@ Up to the present writing
the bully Metropolitans here have
been quiet, and seem to take things
easy. They crossed the Ozark to
our side of the river, on Saturday
and spent the day with us, but
from prudential motives refused to
spend the night with us. With the
exception of a three miles Tip up
Bayou Rapides, on Saturday, they
have made no other demonstration.

was no denial OF the unwarranted assault made on
the stranger but the assaiants entered nimsy

might have blown the poor strangers brains out.

War is being vigorously prosecuted upon the fat

Health. The monster nuisance which has for so
long q time spread disease and pestiience In the
neighbornood OF West Thirty. eighth street is in
process OF removal, and tomorrow will probably
witness a demolition Of the dock. The necessity
for those measures were most urgent. The filthy
process OF lat boiling and its attendant evils had
become SO intolerable that the Inhabitants would
have taken the law into their own hands had not
the Board OF Health intervened In time.
