aoement OF the military will fall ON
Lieutenant Little. Mr.. Davis was prob
ably one of the oldest men who shout
dered arms on the part OF the North in
the late rebellion, being in his 7ith
year. Nothing but patriotism could
have called him to the front, and the
soldier boys should honor his request

was a member of the Forty-third Nete-
ran Infantry, and his private life has
been as exemplary Us his patriotism was
unquestiOned.

need Of more dwellings in all parts OF
our city should induce capitalists to
build. They would be speedily occupied.
