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 now in order.
