In the Hastings Court to-day siXty-two
| licenses were granted to sell liquor. The
Judge took occasion to admoniSh the appli-
canls that hereafter he should closely scrU-
tinze the returns Of the Motlett registers as
they are made 70 him each month by the
Commissioner OF the Revenue, and that
where evidences OF fraud were apparent he
should revoke the licenses OF the parties
guilty Of violation Of the law, and that in
| the future he should be more strict in
granting licenses.
Some two years ago the Common Council
appropriated the sum OF one thousand dol
| lars for the improvement OF the Soldiers
Cemetery in Blandiord-the disbursement
OF the money to take place under the dircc-
ton Of a committee OF which General Will
liam Malone is chairman. Plans for the
Improvement have been prepared by the
committee and accepted b. the Ladies' Me-
mortal Association, and the work has been
commenced. 1t is proposed to remove and
inter on " Memorial Hill'' the remains OF
all the Confederate soldiers buried in Bland
ford Cemetery, and 10 arrange them in
squares. In the centre OF each square IS to
be raised 4 granite or marble monument
about four feet in height, on each side OF
which Wlllappcar the inscription: "eonfed-
crate Dead-18G1-'65." There are to be no
no ,pI
| granite block, on which will be cut the
| initials OF the dead, OF no. tn correspond
with The name in register to be provided.
| On the apex OF " Memorial Hill" is to be
erected at the proper time splendid mon
ument in memory OF the dead soldiers.
| Avenues and carriage-Ways will run
through the grounds, and shade-trees and
| shrubbery are to be planted so rs to give
the best effect. All this will probably cost
good deal more than the sum appropriated
by the Council, but the money will be forth
coming. The work is to be pushed forward
as rapidly as possible.
