Of general distress 10 help themi We
can do but little, but that little we offer.

hope for such aid otherwise as you may

to relieve it
We are, dear sir, most respectfully

LADY.-A dispatch was received this
morning conveying the sad intelligence
that Miss Ella Shock, daughter of our
well known fellow citizen, Capt S. II.
Shock, died of cholera at the Southern
Hotel, St. Louis, last night. She was
member Of the party who recently left
Memphis for Niagara Falls, and had re.
turned as far as St. Louis, when seized
with the disease which so suddenly ter
minated her life Miss Shock was
most estimable young lady, beautiful in
person, refined in manners, aud possess
ing sweet temperament which endeared
her to all with whom she came in con.
tact. Her death is sad blow to her
parents and brothers and sisters, who
nearly idolized her; and no one who has
ever seen her bright face will be able to
repress a pang of sorrow at the an.
nouncement that SO fair and sweet
flower has thus prematurely faded away.

HEAVY ROBBERY OF A MONROE STREET
SALooS-The drinking saloon of Mr..
Theme, No. II Monroe street, was en-.
tered, and the safe and cash drawer
robbed, last night Mr.. Theme was in
the habit OF keeping his safe key ia the
cash drawer, fact which the robber
doubtless became appraised Of On
opening the saloon this morning and
unlocking the drawer, Mr.. Theme dis
covered that roll of money paid him
late in the evening and placed therein,
amounting to $500, was missing. An
examination of the safe revealed that it,
too, had been opened, the burglar using
the key found in the drawer. From the
safe the robber obtained $3.50 in money,
two gold watches and diamond ring,
the whole, including the drawer robbery,
amounting to about $500 in value. The
burglar must have entered the saloon
through the front door or transom. If
the former, he managed to unlock it, as
it was properly closed this morning
The police detectives are looking into
