Hill, as he was seated at the window performing his work. It is now a victim to Mr. Garrison’s smiles of satisfation at its death, CSTWINE CF CARD'JI, a Tonic for Women, chas sweet, Alto. a N Bsillamy, walnut Hill, uatbccck & Cos, walnut Hill, After the Board of Education had organized and settled down !<> work on Tuesday morning an officer appeared wifh a warrant for the* ar rest of oae of the colored appli cants for license.
