The Proposed Reception to Melville.
1t is understood that Engineer Melville has since
his recent family troubles expressed some doubt
as to the propriety OF accepting the public recep
tion on his arrival in this city which it has been
expected would be given to himself and comrades.
The sentiment OF those having the matter In charge
Is that the reception should undoubtedly take place,
and arrangements to that end are being perfected
Mr.. Melville will probably arrive in this city by
the limited express reaching here at p. m. on
Saturday next. and it is expected that the Demon
straton In his honor will be grand popular oya-
ton. Members OF the committee say that this re-
ceptOn IS intended to honor others as we'll as Mel
Vile, and THAI furnishes reason for not surren-
dering to Melyille's doubts.
