by II. z. Mills some two feet and put granite

In the item last week about the Grand Army
post 1t seems, from further investigation, that
we were not fully informed by the person from

wishes us to say that no pay was promised the
drum corps and that they did not ask or ex-
pect any pay.

within short time the animals living only
about twelve hours after being taken. Camp
says that for the first four five hours the

till they die. Veterinary Surgeon West was
up and made examination of some of the ami
mails and pronounced it pleuro-pneumonia or the
regular cattle fever.
