wrights with the Schulenburg- BoeckelerLum
Der company, arrived home yesterday from
New Orleans. They report more favorably of

! journey has beed profitable one.
The funeral Of the late Joseph O'Brien was
largely attended yesterday forenoon at St.
Michaers church, and the services were IN

| portant decision in the case of Welshons vs.
| Assignee jerks. The case arose out Of

the firm of Walker, Judd 81 Veazie to use
money Of a minor of which he was guardian,
! but the firm secured the repayment of the
money by lien on quantity OF lumber,
which lien was given before the firm failed.
Assignee jerks commended that as the lien
had been given less than sixty DAYS before
the assignment, the claim became general
! Que and belonged to the estate of the in
/ solvent firm. the judge decided that the
/ lien was valid, and that the lumber on which
! it was secured was liable for the amount.

! for sale for the social hop to be given next
! Thursday evening at Music hall for the bene-
! fit of the Universalist church are meeting

/ Geo, Bolles, who took hold in such an
energetic manner to raise the amount, are
! deserving Of the thanks of the congregation.
Mr.. Isaac Staples will show the citizens
this year that his long promised Building,

! Tie floors Of the corner building will be
raised, as well as the upper story, and the
| building will be made uniform. The street
will be raised, so that the sewer will be the
requisite distance below its surface, so that
! drainage may be had from the lots into it.
| He contemplates other building operations
and extensive Improvements, and should a
/ handsome building be erected on the POI
| site corner to mate the one south CT it, the
| citizens need not be surprised.
