Manning formerly of this City has greatly improved in health since he reached his new yield of labor. It also says that the Rev. Or. Warner w. M. Missionary there has just recovered from a severe attack of illness which would probably have proved fatal had it not been for the care and attention bestowed upon him by the nuns at the establishment there. Or. Manning is Well pleased with the Prospect Standard. Before him. Alderman Way s qualification. The question has been raised whether Alderman Alloway is duly qualified. The act stipulates that the persons qualified to be mayor or aldermen shall be rated upon the last re Vised assessment Roll for two thousand Dol Lars in real estate. The oath of office How Ever makes no mention of the assessment Roll. In the Case of Alderman Alloway his forgery theft and flight. The two Young men whose sudden de parture from this City was announced in a former Issue of the free press have made Good their escape across the line. The names of the precious pair Are John Trittle and Ezekiel Mcleod. The former is a discharged Volunteer and the latter is according to the latest definition an adjuster of movable alphabets. The operations of these Fellows were not on a very extensive scale still numerous creditors for Small amounts Are left to mourn their absence. The facts of the Case Are As follows Trittle borrowed the discharge of a Volunteer named Boyce a substitute and made out a Transfer to himself affixing Boyce s name to the paper. The name of col. Smith was forged to a certificate that the discharge was a regular one and on new year s Day the discharge was sold to a Young Man named Dunlop for the forgery was shortly afterwards discovered and Steps taken to apprehend the couple. They How Ever left the City having stated their intention of visiting Springs eld where it is said Mcleod has some property.

The american police have been put on the Alert for Mcleod and Trittle. Felt for Harmony and co operation among the different religious denominations so that their work May the More effectually be done. In this regard or. Scott is looked upon As a representative Man.
