A Y1nd or Cheeks .

The accountant Of the House Inves-
tigating Committee, whilst engaged in
looking over some papers in an apart
meat at the Capitol used as place to
store old papers, discovered some enve-
lopss carefully folded away. After
examining few Of them he found they
contained checks, currency, and cou-
pons. Most Of the checks were dated
prior TO the years To which the commit
tee are at present directing the investi-
CATION, and extended as far back Is the
year 1866. II is the opinion Of the &C.
csuntant that many Of them can be
collected, and Of those drawn by banks
on each other he has no doubt. In the
currency was found = counterfeit t2O
greenbaek. The aggregate amount
foand was $3.50.

Mr.. Joseph r. Gill, superintendent
of the Male Orphan Asylum, died Sun
day morning between ! and 5 o'clock
at the asylum, at the age OF sixty-two
years. Mr.. Gill was born and raised
in Manchester. He was for many
years prior to the war . clerk in the
Planters National Bank. For the past
thirteen years he has filled the respon-
sible position of superintendent OF the
Male Orphan Asylum. lie was a
kind-hsarted, Christian gentleman, and
took fatherly interest in the orphans
placed under his care, and all Of them
were strongly attached TO him. lie
has been twice married, and leaves
wife, one daughter and two sons.
All Of the children were by his first
wife, and are all grown. Some years
ago when il was deemed by the
Board OF Managers advisable to teach
the boys trade in the asylum instead
Of binding all Of them out, as had hith-
erto been the custom, Mr.. Gill insisted
| that the manufacture Of matches was
the easiest learned. He subsequently
decided differently, and substituted for
this the manufacture OF cigars. The
result proved his sagacity. His manu-
facturs has always found ready sale,
and the boys that have been turned out
Of the institution find no difficulty in
securing good places.
Under his management the ground
attached to the buildings, besides being
beautitied with plats of grass and flow
ers, have been greatly improved and
yield rich return in vegetables, corn,
&C., &c.
Upon hearing of Mr.. Glll's death
yesterday morning the Board Of Man
ayers had called meeting and adopted
appropriate resolutions Of sympathy,
which will be found in another column.
The funeral, which took place from
Park Place Methodist church yesterday
afternoon, was very largely attended,
and was conducted by Rev. Mr.. Evans,
assisted by DIR. VI. ID. Hlogc aud Rev.
W. W. Lsndrum. BY request no SER
mon was preached, but Mr. Eyansmade
a few remarks appropriate to the oc-
casion, and the body was borne from
the house while the choir was singing
in sweet strains, 1--WE Shall Meet Be-
yond the River"
Atthegrave, when the mound had been
rounded of, the boys Of the asylum,
about fifty in number. sang in sweet,
subdued tones the same song which had
been sung in the church, and then, each
bearing abouquet Of white flowers, filed
past the grave, and in passing deposited
their token Of love and affection on il.
Most Of the boys were in tears during
the service. Their subdued sobs added
greatly to the pathos Of the scene.
There was an unusually large number
Of elegant bouquets Of rare flowers.
