is a problem to which, in our coun-
try, there is nc apparent solution.

have just been received by Mr.. II.
j. Ham, in this city, to supply the
demands of his constantly increas-
ing trade. His market, under the
Arlington Hotel, two doors east of
post Office, on Chestnut street, is
we'll stocked at all times with this
6ne.beef, pork and other fresh meats,
and he keeps open early and late.
The death of Mr.. Joe NJ. Latham,
whose critical illness was announced
in yesterdays ARGUS, occurred early

the eastern part of the city. He was
nearing 40 years of age, and leaves a
wife and several children, a wide
circle OF relatives and many friends
to mourn his untin,ely d. ath. His
funeral will be held at 10 o'clock
this morning from the horae, and
the interment will be made in the
CID familF burying ground on the
Street plantation, about 6 miles
