have thought of such thing. We have
no censure to cast upon the unfortunate
one who lost her life, but to add to those
views already given additional strength,
and that those for whom they are intend

Persons who will deliberately and will
fully take off of tho grave of dead

by his living comrades, is guilty of theft
and should be dealt with accordingly

them better. A strict watch and an earn

guilty parties, will be made and il posi-

crime set forth will confer favor upon
the comrades of the Post, by informing
them of the fact.
To make arrangements and properly
entertain four hundred guests is no small
undertaking, therefore II must be source
of qualification to the citizens committee
to feel that their arduous services were
SO successful. On every side we heard
nothing but universal praise, and especial
ly from the officers and men of the Sew
enth Regiment. Our reputation for hos
pitality was fully sustained.
We overheard an officer on Sunday
evening in polite and gentlemaniy man

seated upon one of tho steps of a corner
grocery store, smoking: Mayor Nc
Dowell has given us instructions to keep
the corners free of persons standing or

We have once before called the atten.
ton of the city authorities to the condition
of house on South Main street. Every
day we see children playing about this
house, aud il it is not pulled down soon it
will fall, and perhaps at time when there
are children in it and some of them be
hurt. As an ounce Of prevention is bet

wreck pulled down.
Since writing the above, cyclone. hnr-
ricane, water or wind spout has despoiled
the said structure, and the children need
not fear to venture or parents worry
about funeral or physicians expenses.
The City Council have instructed the
fire department committee to ask for an
inspection Of the Fire Department. The
chairman of the committee will no doubt
consult with the Chief in few days and
arrangements will DO then made for the
inspection, Of which due notice will be
given.

To thoroughly inspect every piece of
regiment, Is no easy work, aud there are
very few officers who DO it more effec-

for at least fifteen years, he has handled

National Guard, and If there is the least

clothing, accoatremcnts, armories, books,
ammunition and everything pertaining to
a soldier. We arc pleased 10 note that
Colonel Murphy was exceedingly gratifled
at his reception here, and spoke in tones
of commentator for those having the
matter in charge. He was ably assisted
by Lieutenant Colonel Thomas L Cham
