that one or two of the CIRCULARS" accom-
panied the Marshal on a recent visit paid
to that section" \ company of the 10th
Infantry, now quartered at Ash Barracks,
is to be sent to HillsbOro, July 6.

which were fast fastening on the disSOlu-

sling language in that style, with the
thermometer standing at SO in the shade, is
worth dollar day to any paper.
