The Cairo evening bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1868-1870, 1869-08-31

From the Evansville Courier we learn
that prominent gentlemen OF that city
have organized an Evansville, Cairo and
Memphis packet company. An organ
ization was effected by the election OF
w. +. Nesbit, ESQ, president; John 3.
Hopkins, treasurer; r. X. Dunkerson,
secretary, and Capt. IL. 4. Dexter, Super
intendent. A new boat is being built
for the trade that will be finished by the
LIST day OF December. There Is talk Of
building second boat, which, with the
Qulckstep, will form the line.
All Of this speaks we'll for Evansville,
and shows that she has wide-swake, en-
terprising citizens. Cairo's interest In
the line will consist Of having her name
associated with that of Evansville and
Memphis on the wheel.houses OF the
boats. This and no more. Her mer-
chants will not sell the boats dollars
worth OF stores, her printing Offices will
have no part Of the printing, yet Cairo 10
expected to furnish about one third of the
business that Is to support the line
Thus II will always be until the people OF
Cairo learn to husband and make the
most Of their own.

Eatsn's Avenger.

A young man by the name OF Clark
affects to believe that he is called upon
TO avenge the death OF Eaton, the
desperate man whom officer Cummings
shot in self defence. Clark fortified him
self with several glasses Of blue ruin,
this morning, aud by display Of pistols
and dirk knives endeavored to create
the impression that he was very
dangerous man, and would probably
chop a very large number ofpeople into
mince meat on the smallest provocation.
Officer Cummings visited him, intend
Ing 10 pursuade him that he had justly
incurred the vengeance OF no one by
killing Eaton, but Clark was not disposed
to listen. and very savagely informed
Cummings that ifhe wanted to be hewed
up into shavings, all he had TO do was to
pass over into Kentucky.
ames Barrett, at Walker q Sisson's,
also incurred Clarks displeasure, and
was threatened with humiliation. Bar
rett not relishing such threats caused
the arrest OF Clark on o peace warrant.
The case was heard before Squire Bross
this morning, and the accused was held
10 bail In the sum of 500 TO keep the
peace, etc., until the next term of the
circuit court. Falling TO give the bail
he was committed 70 the county jail.

Observation-Disclosures.

There is probably not more than one
institution Of learning in the entire West
which has SO liberal an endowment and
30 large cash capital as the Black burn
University, located in the fourishing and
healthy city Of Carlinville, the county
seat OF Macoupin county, Illinois, on the
Chicago, Alton & st. Louis r. r., fifty.
nine miles north from st. Louis and thir.
ty-five south Of the State capitol.
Years ago, when land could be had for
the entry fee, large quantities we're taken
up by Rev. DOct. Blackburn and set
apart az an endowment for this institu.
ton which he had founded. As the
country increased in prosperity these
lands grew in value, and, from the sale
Of them, large sums have been
realized, which have enabled
the Trustees to erect spa
cious and commodlous building-one OF
the finest In the State-and to reserve an
interest bearing fund amply sufficient to
pay all the ordinary expenses of the In.
stitution. They have lands yet unsold
from which they will realize hereafter
probably ffty thousand dollars. A finely
improved farm near the University, adj
joining the city limits, 10 appropriated,
free OF charge. TO the use Of q family who
reside In the building, rent free, and who
have charge ofthe Boarding Hall, where
by they are enabled to furnish excellent
board to students At the very moderate
price Of three Dollars q week. Hand
some rooms, well lighted and ventilated,
are provided for young men In the Uni
versity Building, and the entire cost to
them for Tuition, Room Rent, Board and
Fuel does not exceed one hundred and
fifty dollars . year. Students Of Theol.
ogy pay no tuition fee.
The courses of study In the Blackburn
University are the following: 1, academ.
ic; 2, scientific; 3, collegiate; 4, theoiogi-
cal; 5, collegiate and theological. The
last named course extends through five
years, and Is designed for those young
men who are preparing for the gospel
ministry, and who desire to shorten the
time Of their preparation without dimin-
ishing Its completeness. The studies Of
this course are 30 well selected that the
young man who has pursued them dill.
gently will Hnd himself In no degree In.
ferior In well rounded education to him
who has taken the ordinary longer
course. The instruction In all depart
ments OF the University IL OF the very
highest order. French and German are
in all the courses OF study, without any
extra charge.
Another feature in this University 10
worthy OF special notice. Young ladies
are admitted into the same classes with
young men-they have the same advan.
tages for thorough instructlon-and
when they graduate they will receive
the same degrees. They board and
room In private families. BY this ar
rangement parents can educate their
sons and daughters at the same place
and under the same Influences.
aThe fall term will commence on the
first Monday Of September. For further
