DEATH OF Mr.. MALCOLM MCLEAN.-Mr.
Malcolm Mclean, who, as before stated was
stricken with apoplexy on Saturday while
conyersing with his brother in the store OF
Messrs. Mclean & Uhler, died that night
between nine and ten o'clock, having re-
manned unconscious from the time the attack,
assumed aviolent character. The deceased,
few minutes before the fatal stroke began,
to manifest itself, was APPARENT in his nor
nal good health and jovi;,ity, and when the
effects of his ailment appeared Was conduct
ell to 81 chair in which hn remained until tho
arrival of DR.. Il. c. Powell. Consciousness
had not entirely departed when the physi
clan appeared, as the deceased recognized
the doctor, but in short time the deadly
work of the insidious malady set in, and Mr..
Mel. became oblivious to everything around
him. 1t being deemed inadvisable by the
doctor to have him removed, bed was i'm
provised at the store, and shortly afterward
the family of the apparently dying man
were at his side. Exhibiting no signs of re-
turning consciousness, the doctor. upon fur
Their diagnosis of the case, concluded that n
blood vessel on the right side of his head
had been ruptured, and the chances for re-
covery being extremely few, it was finally
determined to remove the sick man to his
residence, and between six and seven O'Clock
he was lifted with his couch from the store,
placed in spring wagon and slowly con-
veyed to his home, on Alfred street, be-
tween Cameron and King, where rs before
stated, between nine and ten o'clock he
breathed his last after having remained ina
comatose condition for 6 or hours. Mr.. Me-
Lean was gentleman extensively known,
and liked by all being of a clever and iovial
disposition and of temperament calculated
to make friends and acquaintance wher-
ever he VENT Though but thirty-eight
years old, he WAS one of the oldest employ
ees of the Virginia Midland Railroad, hav-
ing entered the service of that company in
1862 in the shops ut Lynchburg, and from
this beginning, by energy, probitY and
trustworthiness, worked himself up from
minor to responsible positions on the road
He will be especially missed by the hosts of
employees of that company, among whom
he was Justly esteemed, and regret will fill
each heart when the solemn fact that he
has been snatched from their midst is COM
pretended. The deceased had for some
years represented the Third ward in the
Common Council, which body met to day
at - o'clock and passed suitable resolutions
of respect to his memory. He was Presi-
dent Of the Columbia Steam Fire Engine Co.,
which company ut a meeting yesterday af-
ternoon adopted an appropriate testimonial
to his memory. Mr. Mclean had been, too
from their organization here member of
Mt. Vernon Royal Arcanum and of Belle
Haven Lodge Knights of Honor. The flu
neral will take place this evening at six
o'clock and will doubtless be largely at
tended, not Only by his relatives aud depu.
tations from the various bodies mentioned
above, but by many friends and acquaint-
anceS.

! RETURN OF THE CADETs-A little before
I'VE O'Clock yesterday morning the steamer
Jane Moseiey landed the cadet corps of St.
johns Academy, on its return from camp
at Virginia Beach. The tents were struck
at seven O'Clock on Saturday morning, and
at nine the train left for Norfolk, on arriv-
ing at which city the limo of march was
taken up for the armory of the Norfolk Light
Artillery Blues, which had been again kindly
placed at the disposal of tho Principal The
day was excessively hot, and the march,
| though short, fntiguing, and though leave
of absence until three o'clock was grant ed j.,
lew avniled themselves of the opportunity
TO see the city. Some went down to the
boat for rations others stretched them
selves out on the floor and went to sleep a.
few went over 10 the Gosport navy yard or
visited friends. AT three the drum and fife
called III straSglers and dress parade took
place in the armory, after which the corps
marched down to the wharf and embarked
The. passage up the hay and river was in
striking contrast to that down. The nj ght
was calm and starlit, and the motion OF the
boat scarcely percrptble. She was crowd
ed, and rs few could get staterooms, most
OF the boys slept either on the blankets in
the saloon or ON the benches of the after
dcrk where it was cooler. At Fort Wash
ngton they were reused and a few of their
parents and friends who had risen early
met them on the wharf with joyous wei
come The boys are sunburnt, but look
well, and have everything to say in praise
Of Virginia Beach and the kindness with
which they were received and treated there,
as well as by the citizens of Norfolk.
On the day of The memorial parade, as ar
engagements for IN extra train were imprac-
ticable, Capt. Gilmer and his officers and
men generously proposed to entertain the
entire command from their arrival in Nor
folk until the next morning, and free trans
portation was secured; but rs the camp
could not be left unguarded, it was deemed
advisable to decline, much to the regret of
both parties.

WE ARE requested to say that the Norfolk
landmark wasaltogether msinformcd when
il stalled that ''the steamer Jane Moseley,
on Thursday, carried a number of the cadets
OF st. Johns Academy back to Alexandria.
They could not stand camp life" The only
cadets who returned in that boat, or at any
othcr time during the cncampment were two
sons of Senator Jones, Of Louisiana, SER
geants in the corps, whose religious princi-
Piles forbade their travelling on Saturday
and who, consequently, went down with
the advance guard and returned on Thurs
day night us had been previously arranged.
An officer and another cadet went down
with them to the boat to secure state rooms
for the return trip, which, probably, gave
rise to the rumor. The ST. Johns boys say
they are not the sort of fellows that can't
stand few hardships, and don't want to be
classcd with "dudes." Their refusal of
ovcrcoats from the Norfolk Light Artillery
Blues, and of sleeping accommodations in
the dining room at Virginia Beach during
the storm, proved sufficiently their determi
nation to stick to their camp, Sin spite of
wind and weather"
