The members of the Lemont Cornet
Band came to town, Saturday, on little
pleasure excursion, and while here did some
excellent playing. Much Of the success
with which this new organization has met
is due to Mr.. John jacobs. This enter
prising gentleman terms the band referred
to "my infant class" but We suspect very
little better music is furnished by older
bands. Come again boys, you tighten up
the gloom as 1t were.

extinguished the flames and rescued the
little ones. Nearly all Of the facing around
the window was burned away. The young
man deserves great credit for bis presence

Asphalt Pavements in Assyria

On Monday evening, at the Victoria Insti-
tute, Mr.. Rassam, the well known discoverer
of Assyrian relics, made the following state
meut in reference to his recent researches in
the neighborhood of Bagdad: sin March
last went out again to the East for the pur-
pose of finding out the old cities which lie
buried there. As l was journeying l met
with an Arab who told me that he knew of
an old ruined city within fifteen miles of
Bagdad. AS / never refused to act on any
information likely to lead TO some practical
result, I said / would go with him to the
place indicated. I therefore accompanied
him, and as we were travelling along the
route pointed out by the Arab, we came at a
distance of four hours journey upon an old
ruin that / had never seen before-s ruin of
about three miles in circumference. 1 at
first thought that this was the place of which
my guide had spoken, and l said to him,
oh, this is the placer He replied: No,
that is not the place l told you of; it is fur,
Their on Then l said, What is this place z?
He answered, 4 don't know However, L
made up my mind that l would certainly ex-
plore it when came back We consequently
went onwards and at last the Arab showed
me most wonderful ruin. l set to work and
excavated there but found nothing of any
antiquarian value. l afterwards went back
to the place had first seen, and commenced a
thorough search there. The result was that
after digging for four days we came upon the
top of some walls. This induced us to perse-

found that we had come upon ain enormous

An Aneedote Concerning the late Hon.
Ralph 1. Ingerson.
To the Editor of JOURNAL AND COURIER:
"Mans humanity to man." There are a
few who remember the trial and hanging of
Potter for the murder of Osborn. II was
my lot 70 ride with the father of Potter in his
own farm wagon only few weeks before his
son was to be hung, and, speaking Of the trial
and terrible fate which hung over his son, the
oil gentleman remarked, that there was one
consolation in this sad business, for Mr.. Inger-
soil $50 conducted this trial that none of us
censure him for single word spoken, or act
done. He only did his duty, and left the rest
to the jury. We shall always respect Mr..
Ingersoll."
Every prosecuting officer should lean to-
wards humanity in every case and rejoice If
any person accused of crime shall be able to
prove himself innocent. HUMANITY.
