GREEN BAY. Wis.-Intelhgence of the death of
Postmaster General Howe at KenOsha reached this
city, which has been his home. this afternoon. and
created profound impression all learning OF It,
Upon the retirement of Mr.. Howe from he United
States Senate he was accorded public reception by

This demonstration of personal regard was partci-
pated in by the whole community, and properly
attested the popular feeling toward the venerable
citizen and statesman; aud his death Will be
mourned as personal bereavement.
Mr. Howe was at his home in tins this city during
a part of last week accompanied by his niece.
Mrs. Grace Howe. Although somewhat Ill
with stomach complaint, nothing IN
his appearance afforded Indications OF
probability of bis speedy death. Leaving here
few days ago he stopped at the home of his nephew
James Howe and there his troubles increased; but
as late as Friday last 1t was reported that he had
recovered hence the announcement of his death
was received with as much surprise as sorrow.

REVENUE RECEIPTS AND EXP0RTS-INTEREsT-
ING MATTERS BEFORE THE COUNC1L-IMMI-
GRAFTON TO THE SOUTH sIDE-IMPR0yEMENT
IN BUSINESS
Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.l
FEBRUARY %. 1883.
The interna+revenue collections i'm the
Petersburg district during the month end
ing to-day amounted to SG9,200. The eX-
ports of manufactured tobacco during the
month were 253, 1893 pounds. The business
in both departments has recently been light.
Among The matters OF interest to he con-
sidcred at the meeting OF the Common
! Council tomorrow afternoon will be that
of creating the Office Of City Engineer and
that OF appropriating the sum OF $4,000 as
bonus for the location of the Colored Nor
NAL School near this city. 1t Is probable
that favorable action will be taken in both
instances.
Much interest has been aroused here in
the proposed organization in London of
the +" Virginia Agricultural Company"
with the object OF purchasing lands in the
counties south OF Petersburg for cultiya-
tlon, letting, and reselling. Large bodies
OF lands can be bought in these counties at
very reasonable prices. Our people would
be glad to see such company organized,
as they believe it would largely encourage
the immigration OF small farmers to our
section, and result in the restoration Of
much OF our waste-lands.
The returns OF purchases made by the
merchants OF this city TO the commissioner
OF revenue for three quarters OF the pres
ent fiscal year show a large increase as
compared with those OF the previous year,
and indicate growing and healthy condi-
ton of trade. In many instances the mer-
chants had their licenses enlarged, their
purchases for half the year being in excess
Of their estimates for the entire year.
Only eleven marriage-llcenses were is
sued from the clerks Office this month-siX
to white and five to colored couples.
In the Mayors Court to-day the case OF
John Shelley, charged with assaulting Will
liam Carroll with brick last Sunday eve
ming, was called, but continued until next
Monday because OF CarrolPs inability TO
appear.

Edwin ROOfh's Sorrow.

A letter from Berlin to the st. Louis Globe.
Democrat, after abiding to the great az
tistic success of Mr. Edwin Booth abroad.
says "There always seems to be n shadow
OF some sort over Booths life, and the mat
ter which is now troubling him is all the
worse because his daughter is the chief
sufferer. She is betrOthed TO young
American, who, three or four months ago,
was almost asphyXiated by inhaling coal
gas. As his recovery has been very slow,
Mr.. Booth wrote to the young mans
father to send the invalid to them
while they were in England, as he
supposed q change Of surroundings and the
sea voyage would hasten his return to
health, and the pleasure which the lovers
would experience in being together would
be n great factor in the case. The father OF
the lover consented, and the young mans
sister accompanied him. They have been
with the Booths now several weeks, but
the inyalid's health has not improved. His
blood seems to be poisoned, and it has
affected his brain in a peculiar way. He
Is not insane, but he cannot remember
as formerly, and has TO be directed
and watched. He has lost all interest
in his profession and in his contem-
plated marriage. Miss Booth is plunged
in melancholy by the sad circum-
stance, and can seldom be coaxed ont OF
her hotel. The doctors say the young man
may recover inside OF two years, but they
think it doubtful. 1t is probable that he
and his sister will return home in a few
weeks, or at least they will not travel with
the Booths. as there is nothing to be gained
by making two people wretched. He adores
Miss Booth, but knows that something has
made it temporarily impossible for hun TO
show his affection and regard. The hope
lessness OF the case is its saddest feature.
And Of course Miss Booth realizes that
there Is nothing that she can do to restore
him."
