About two o'clock yesterday morn
ing a darby named Sam Smith bored
holes through the real door Of a
grocery near the corner of DeSoto
and Union streets, effected an en-
trance and carried off about 5000
worth of meat and other goods.
The rascal was captured and a part OF
the stolen goods were found.
This poor infected city, with its few
dozen of yellow fever sufferers, and
nearly half of its thirty thousand
wanderers abroad, out of money and
in want, is about the only place in all
of our broad land where hustle and
activity is not. We unfortunates are
not without hope that time will bring
with it sure TecOmpense.
Judge j. L. Sharpe, who was buried
from the residence of the late Judge
Kortrecht on Shelby street yesterday,
had resided in this community fol
many years, was a soldier of the Mexi.

extreme southern part of the city.
The departed gentleman leaves a wife,
but no children survive him.
A number of city people drove out
to the various camps yesterday for
recreation and to view the general
situation. The residents threof were
found fat, saucy, lazy and as happy as
calves in high grass. Many will re-
greet when the time comes to break ur
and leave camp. No work and free
r%ations is the cause of this feeling.

The folks thereabouts wonder how
the gentleman ran the Arkansas
quarantine blockade. 1t is an oper
question upon which those most inter.
ested decline to throw light.

t the bluff, yesterday afternoon, drew
a large audience of both white anc
