CMRo.-The st. Louis Republican says
Cairo is improving, and her greatness. which
for years has existed only in the magination,
promises now at least partial realization.
Within the last eight months some forty or
fifty buildings, we are informed, have been
erected. A new and commodious Hotel is
is almost completed. and there is every evil
dence OF future prosperity. Most Of the lots
fronting on the levee have been sold to par.
ties who contemplate improving them in a
substantial manner. A levee eighty feet wide
and four feet above high water mark, is now
being constructed around the city BY the
Railroad Company. A system of sewerage
has been devised, and the hands are cow a,
work upon it, which it is thought will have
the effect of securing permanent drain.

AN AWFUL MURpER.--A man named Fos-
ter, living near Pontiac, Michigan, murdered
his wife last Tuesday. The Detroit Tri-
bune says:
p Foster had been abse mt in California two
years, and had recently returned. tie wos
not great favorite in the neighborhood, and
certain persons poisoned his mind, relative
TO the conduct Of his wife during his absence
-a,woman generally esteemed and above
all reproach.E This was done until the hus.
band become maddened and blinded by his
jealousy. Monday morning, Foster accused
his wife ofin6delity TO him and proceeded to
threaten her safety and lie. Terrified at
his menaces, she fed from the house for the
house of neighbor. He pursued her with
a large bowie-knife, and, seiziog Fer, struck
downward blow which entered just below
the breast and went into the abdomen, in
flicting most frightful wound and killing
her instantly, This is horrd to contemplate!
This makes four murders, in this State,
within the short period of two months.
In Michigan the death penalty for murder
has been repealed, and since such repeal, the
increase OF the crime Of murder has been
alarming.

HS The editor ofthe Evansville Journal
Justly complains Of the Auditor of Wander.
burgh county defrsuding him out Of the del
inquent tax list. II seems that the Journals
bid for the job was several dollars less than
that of the Enquirer; but as the Journal be-
longed to different school of politics to that
of Mr.. Auditor, the Enquirer was allowed a
second bid and the Journal denied that priv.
ilege. No blame attaches to the editor OF
the Enquirer; but the Auditor has acted dis
honest and dshonorable, and has made him.
self amenabIe to public censure. Had he
have had some editors to dealt with we wot
of, he would not have been "let down" quite
so easy as he was by our good natured friend
Of the Journal.
