Governor Amrs has appointed
Mr.. Jacob Adler to the position of
City Judge. an Office created by an
act of the last Le.i,la urc. A. the
people of Vickrburg were not con-
suited in the matter, and az they

the duties of his office very cmbar-
RAISING or lahorious.

ments and DEGREES will be treated

The death of four Massachusetts


Representatives. during a single term
has given rise to considerable talk
about the bad ventilation of the
capitol. In this connection the New
York Times has the following:
1t is said that the condition of the
air in the House was never 40 bad
as during this winter. The night
sessions were simply killing to those
who sat through many of them.
And more than one death Is direct
