The Case of Mai. Reno.

The Geographic report, in THE ARGUS
Of last evening, in relation to the trial of
Maj. Marcus A. Reno, of the Seventh U.
s. Cavalry, show him to be anything but
fit for command. Instead of being the
father of that military family, at Fort
Abercrombie, he was sort of bulldozer
who domineered over those under his
command and insulted and tried to intimi-
date woman whose husband was absent.
He should be dismissed.
The Mrs. Bell who was insulted by
Reno was at the Harper House several
days, year ago last summer, waiting tc
meet her husband, Capt. Bell, who was
expected from the east. She came down
from st. Paul on boat, and on the arriva
of her husband she returned with him
She was much liked by the ladies at the
hotel who made her acquaintance, and
was regarded as a very exemplary and
interesting lady. She was pretty, anc
attractive, but exceedingly circumspect anG
careful OF her manners and associates
Maj. Reno's ISLANDERS and abuse deserve
severe punishment
Some of our people think that this Mai
Keno Is the same man who was quarter
master here, in the early days of thu
rebel PRISON here, during the late war;
but that is mistake. His name was B
+. Reno, and he is now engaged in tn,

INTERMITTENT FEVER Is so common 10
the country as scarcely to need comment.
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertion, low
spirits, night air, exposure to miasmat;c

edge tools aud agricultural implements are
manufactured, the grinder protects his
lungs from the injurious effect of the Dust

young man living four miles west of there,
who had been visiting at Hamlet the same
evening, and was intoxicated, brandishing
pistol about in an unhealthy way. The
affair will be investigated
