Andeesonville, January 30-Mr.
James Parhcm, our city marshal,
died ou Thursday last, after an ill
ness of some months. Mr.' Parhem
was a faithful officer, a good oltt-
zen, and respected by all who knew
him.
The board of Aldermen elected
Mr. S. Huffman to eueceed Mr.
Parhem. Mr. Huffman >e quite a
young man for so responsible an
office, but no doubt he will make
up, by energy and etriet attention
to business, what he lacks in years
and caperience. An effort was
made to reduce the pay of marshal,
out after some discussion tbe city
fathers decided that as tbe past
year had been fairly prosperous,
they coaid afford to be liberal, so
$150 per year will be continued as
tbe pay of our merebal. Some
honor goes with above amount, for
which no charge is made.
Tbe weather ha* become pleas
ant, and anticipation* of fresh
vegetables In the near fntnre art

troublesome; eating up tbe peas as
fast as they reach the surface. They
are injuring fruit and other tree*
also, barking them as high up as
they can reach.
