other Inducements superior to eastern markets
CA1rox 1nox MAcK1NAc.-The Herald says
the cannon now al Mackinac arc ordered to be
transported to Chicago, doubtless ultimately
Intended for Cairo. This movement Of big
guns is In response to an application to the
Var Department by citizens Of Chicago, who
represented the important nses that these
heavy ordnance might bo made to serve in
the armament at certain points Of this State.
A Ho4E GUARD WAHTED.-Much might be
done, and cheaply too, at the present time, to
clean up the dirtier parts Of the city. Some
OF the alleys are in condition Of indescriba-
BILE filth, and on the coming Of hot weather
can but affect the health Of the city. The
1aborers are mxny who would enlist on smau
pay as home guard, to be armed with shoyels
and picks. We ere quite sure they would
hold an important relation to the defence Of
the city against soma OF Its worst enemies, in

Etyle Of azt, and bear on It's tile-page faith
full and excellent likeness Of the brave young
officer, of whom no better meneoto can be
secured by the many who lament his fate
NIGHT IND SUNDAY LETTER Box.-Thc
public will be glad to learn that box for the
reception OF letters on nights and Sundays,
has been fitted up on the Dearborn street
front Of the Post Office, at the second door
from the north end Of the building. This will
be welcomed a. an excellent improvement by
those who have On occasions been forced to
find their dark and devious way around the
rear Of the building, to find the letter box,
HOW brought into the front rank Of convent
encea ard so nearly adjacent to street lamp
that it can be readily found on the darkest
night.
WHERE LEE TIE BEST suors ?-We see it
stated by the highest sporting authorities that
the best rife shot In this country is Henry
Berdan, Esq, Of Michigan, formerly Of this
city, whose name is otherwise widely associa,
ted with several celebrated inventions, among
them the Mechanical Bakery. He is, We learn,
to lead a crack regiment OF sharp.shooters
In the same connection, to the credit Of oul
State, 1t is aaid that young Whitehead, Of I'LL
nois, is the beet pistol shot probably in tht
world. He has proven himself more than .
match for Travis With common duelllns
pistol he can split lemon on mans head a
thirty yards, every time.
