CERTIFICATES FOR SPECIAL IMPROVEMENTS ON
STREETS WHERE THE nPn0vExxNr WAS NOT
COMPLETED.
To-day, Mr.. ]. E. Norris, for Horace 8. John
son, filed bin against the District Of Columbia
and the First National Bank of New York to re-
strain them from enforcing the payment Of GER
tifcates for special improvements, amounting to
about 81. 100 issued on lots 5 to 9, square IA, on
the ground that the improvements authorized
by act of August 10th, 1871. were not completed.
A temporary restraining order was made by
Judge Hagner. There are several other pieces
OF property in like condition to the property in
this case, and the result in this case will be
watched with interest. It will be remembered
that the work on the street was commenced and
an excavation made, but it was never finished.
The tax lien certificates were, however, issued,
and it is understood that the District has an
opinion on the subject to the effect that the pay
ment of the certificates cannot be enforced. The
bank is the party pressing for payment.

A special despatch from Cincinnati
Ohio, says: The Rev. Isaac Errett, wht
delivered the funeral Grafton of Presi
dent Garfield 1T Cleveland, addressed Q
large audience to-day at the Rich
mond 5 rect Christian Church upon til,
death and funeral of the la.e Pres
dent. lie said much anxiety had beel
expressed to hear something from ths
deathbed of President Garfield !; somt
last words that would reatlirm the faitl
and convictions of his life. Commen,
had been made, too, upon the absence
of religious talk or ministrations beside
the dying.
1t s1oud be remembered, however,
that, through the apparently excessive
caution of the Presidents physicians,
no risk whatever was permitted and
then, as hope grew, it vas thought that
after awhile his friends might see him.
But the last days of fever and fitful de.
lirium forbade even this, and he died
without any formal farewell message OF
testimony.
To those who believe in the efficacy
of human pt iesthOod there must bt
regret hat President Garfield had none
of these ministra,ions but the Presi
dent did not feel such a need, nor dc
We 1t would have been comforting u
the living to have had his pastor beside
him at the last; but we know thai
James A. Garfield was himself a rova
priest Of God, by virtue Of his anoint
ing as "a Christian. and needed none
save the one Mediator bet ween q ii and
man, to intercede for him with the
Fat hur.

Fight with 8 Swimming Boar.

The woods across the river from Cor
wallis are filled with wild hogs,a greater
portion of them having found refuge
there during high water last winter.
Among those that came into this sec.
tion during the flood was a large boar,
about six or seven years old, and as
large as a yearing calf, and has been
on the island above the city for several
years, where he has been several times
shot, but could never be killed or cap
tured. Last Winter during the highest
water he was seen bv two young men
floating quietly down the stream on a
log. They Immediately went TO his re-
scue in IA boat, bat on p"eceiviI z them
he left his log, and starting for tine boat
commenced 30 show fight and did catch
the boat between his jaws and but for
several we'll directed blows from the
occupants of the boat he would have
swamped the same. His would. be de-
livers, when they found themselves free
from him, |. it him to his tate, when he
took refuge in the adjoining woods,
where he roa'ned until last Tuesday.
He startei to swim lake that formed
a portion of the field fence of Professor
Emery and WiIlbank, when he was
discovered by Mr.. Willbank, who Sc
GREETED himself on the bank and waited
until the animal was within ten feet of
him, when he discharged both barrels
Of heavily loaded shotgun into his heal,
causing instant teath, Professor Emery
says he would as soon have met griz-
zly bear as tins mouster of the woods,
whose career has at last been brought to
an end.-From the Corvallis (Oregon)

what COnK ress Did For Mrs. Lin
eOlu.
Washington st

washington otdT.
1t is a matter of di ,cussion at this time
what Congress will do for Mrs. Gar
field. In this connection the acts pass
ed in relation to Mrs. Mary Lin
coin are of interest. There were three
acts Of the kind passed by Congress.
The first act passed when Congress came
together after the assassination OF Pre-
sident Lincoln, was rs follows: That
the Secretary of the Treasury pay, out
of any money in the Treasury not
otherwise appropriated, to Mrs. Mary
Lincoln, widow of the late Abraham
Lincoln, late President of the Uuited
States, VI in the event of her death be-
fore payment, TO the lawful heirs, the
SUN Of s25,OOO provided always that
any sum of money which shall have
been paid to tho personal representa-
lives OF the said Abraham Lincoln since
his dtath, on account of his salary as
President of the United st ,tes for the
current year sha, be- del1c ed from the
said sum OF S25,0OO." The amount thus
granted to Mrs. Lincoln was tho salary
Of the President OF one year. Now
that salary is $4,000, In February,
1866, Congress passed tina following
act: THAT all letters and packets
carried by post to and from Mary Lin.
coin, widow of the late Abraham Lin
coin, be carried free of postage during
her natural life. In 1866 the following
act was passed "That the Secretary
of the Interior be and is hereby author
lied to place the name of Mary Lincoln,
widow of Abraham Lincoln, deceased,
late President of the United States, on
the pension roll, and allow and pay her
a pension at the rate or 81, 200 per an
mum from ana after the passage Of this
act"
