Hon. Joseph l.. Smith. late greenback can
didate for Governor, came to the city, yestcr
day, and was cordially received by his part,
friends. He is solid, substantial looking
gentleman, apparently nothing fiat" in hi,
composition. He states that he asks for No
fayors from the democratic party, and knows
of no event likely to happen that will carry
him into the embraces of that party.
The following minute, in memory of the
late Mrs. j. w. Bradbury, was passed at the
meeting of the Board of Managers of st.
Marks Home, on Tuesday afternoon, the 4th

1t has pleased Him "Who docth all things
well, to take from us our dear friend our
fellow laborer, and President of this Board,
Mrs. James W Bradbury
In this visitation of Gods Providence a
great aiiiiction has hctallcn us. Our sorrow
is one which we share in common with many
others. Not only this Home, but the commu-
nifty, has lost in her diligent friend and IL
generous bcnetactor.
As helper and leader with us, her interest
in and service for the Home her careful
management. her wise suggestions, her eff
fcicnt execution, her generous gifts, her un-
wearicd labor in enlsting the sympathy and
interest OF others her extreme thoughtfulness,
for the welfare and comfort of all who were
in any way dependent upon her, even through
days AMI weeks of suffering, and on the very
day when 'hc was taken from us-thcsc and
the like, were the indications t. those among
whom she moved, OF spirit ever earnest in
doing good. of Il heart whose highest content
mcnt was to be found in acts of thoughtful
and loving minisiratior.
For the grace given t. His servant for her
example, for her memory, to be dearly cher
ished in many hearts, we thank God. lie
gave lie hath taken away. Blessed be Hi,
holy name.
With those who have lost in her SO much Of
earthly cpns1ation--,hc faithful wife, the
thoughtful mother, the stcaltast fricnd-wc

1t is surprising how many questions of yital
interest the State Sup p,rintcndcnt of Common
Schools i called upon to decide. The fol-
lowing Letter was received the other dav at
