enthusiasm rose with his ntterances, and final
" he said: ] am glad to say that l represent

10000 Union soldiers rotted within the city

Comrade Tarsney had been growing more
and more FESTIVE under the rebels gasconade,

posed, and when $500 more was obtained, the
price Of the house had again advanced. Now
the committee wants $4,000 10 complete the
purchase. The wealthy philanthTOpist, Mr. w.
