THE GRIM. Con. CASE. we were
mistaken, yesterday, in saying that
Logan and wife had stopped all night,
Wednesday night, at the boarding
house on Cherry Street. They left
that place and went to a hotel. Yes
terday Logan recovered $1,000 Of, his
money. The madame says she and
her paramour spent about $3.50, and
the balance is in her possession.
Col. DENLY, as attorney for Wood,
has taken steps to bring Wood out of
Jail on writ of habeas corpus, and is
only awaiting the return of Judge
Parrett to have hearing. Logan is
waiting to see the case through.

A New and Grand Epoch iE Mesliein,

DIR. MaggieI is the founder of new Med
ical system! The quantitarians whose vast
internal dos es enfeeble the stomach and
paralyze the bowels, must give precedence
to the man who restores health and appe-
tfte, with from one to two of his extraor-
binary Pills, and cures the most viruIent
sores with a box or so of his wonderful and
all healing Salve. These two great specif-
les of the Doctors are fast superceding all
the StereOtyped noStrumS of the day. E,x-
traordinary cures by Maggiel's Pills and
Salve have opened the eyes of the public. to
the inefficiency of the $50 called) remedies
of others, and upon which people havelso
long blindly depended. Maggiel's Pills are
not of the class that are swallowed blythe
dozen, and of which every box full taken
creates an absolute necessity for another.
One or two of Maggiel's Pills sufflces to
place the bowels in perfect order, tone the
stomach, create an appetite, and render
the spirits light and. buoyantl There is no
gripping and no reaction in the form of con-
Stipation. If the liver is affected its func-4
tions are restOred;s and if. the nervous ssys-
tenn is feeble, II is invigorated. This last
quality makes the medicine very desirable
for the wants of delicate females JJlcerous
and erupttye diseases are literally ex--
dpgulshed by the disinfectant power of
Maggiel's Salye. In fact, it is here an
nOHnced that Moggiel's Bilious, DvsIeDtfci

RECORDERS RT.-His Honor,
Recorder Nelson, toiled all day yes
terday, and caught next to nothing.
The only case brought before him was
Moses Kohn, charged with leaving
his buggy on the street when not in
use. Moses plead guilty, but put in
as a plea in abatement, the declara-
ton that he was absent from home,
and his people did not know that it
was violation of the city ordinances.
He thought, moreover, that it would
have been a neighborly act on the
part of the police to have first notified
his family of the risk they were taking
in leaving the buggy in the street, and
we think in that he was right. The
law, however, is plain, and has been
well published and circulated, and it
is good one, Five dollars let him
off, and he left comforting himself
with the belief that new officers
would be elected some time, who, he
probably thinks, will fail to execute
the laws, even if they do violate their
oaths of Office. We believe the ordi-
nance was passed unanimously, and
we think it is a wholesome one. IF it
is not good, let it be repealed, and fill
the streets with wagons, drays, bug,
gies and carts It looks SO city-like
and tidy.

Evansyille Board Of Health.

Board of Health feel that they can
not perform their duty to the citizens
faithfully without again expressing
their views, and uttering word OF
warning, on the dreaded approach OF
cholera to our city. aat
Although we would not excite alarm
unnecessarily, it is well known that
in the neighboring cities of st. Louis,
Cincinnati and Louisville the disease
is prevailing with considerable fatali-
ty; so that its appearance in Evans
vile may be expected from day to day.
Its absence up to the present time, we
confidently believe, is mainly due to
the attention paid to cleanliness, and
to the careful observance of sanitary
laws within our city sTag,,-e sar
We would however urge upon our
citizens an increase of vigilance, if
possible, SO that if the scourge should
not be kept off entirely, it will find US
SO thoroughly prepared for its recep-
ton that it may pass US oyer lightly.
We insist that the laws of health
be strictly attended to. Let every
family again make complete survey
Of their premises See that the eel
lar contains no garbage, or other or
ganic matter that may have been over
looked, and that may upgergo decom-
position, and thus poison the air,
which necessarily arises and passes
through the rooms above. Let them
inspect their priyies, and see that no
unwholesome stencil arises from them.
Let them examine all out-houses and
sheds, and see that no filth or source Of
impurity has beenleft about them. In
all cases where it is necessary, disin
fectants should be. used, such as cop
peras or lime; these should be scat
tered about the premises freely. Cop
peras is cheap article for the pur-
pose, and lime will be supplied free
of charge for such purposes by apply
ing to the Council Chamber.
The strict observance of proper
diet should not be omitted Every
family should leave off the use of such
articles as cucumbers, melons, gree
corn, egg plant, cabbage, &c. We be-
lieve it would do good to prohibit the
sale Of the above articles, by law, and
we hepe, at all events, that the fami-
lies of our citizens generally will, for
their own welfare, abstain from their
use as articles of food The obsery-
ance, of such precautions is our only
plan and hope of safety. e1a 30
Simple remedies, such as paragoric
and mustard, ought to be kept con
stantly on hand, so that in attacks of
vomiting and purging, they may be
promptly used, until time is given for
physician to be called Pain in the
bowels, or diarrhea without pain,
should not be neglected for. a
moment, for in them may be contain
ed the germs of cholera. Without
previous diarrhea oh olera is almost
unknown; so that simple diarrhea,
that other times would not be worthy
of notice, should at such time as
the present, be promptly arrested. >
The Board firmly believe that a
careful observance of the following
rules will either entirely ward off this
pestilence, or, at least, SO mitigate its
severity, that its presence will scarcely
be noticed amongst us, until its course
shall have been run. = ed

no cause for the least excitement on

nothing but wholesome food, keep
sober, and. keep yourself and your
premises clean, and you stand just as
good chance to be struck by light
