"A little girl who assists her fathcr in
rag-picking about the city, swallowed a
glass of icc-watcr, yesterday afternoon,
and passing out into the street was prostra-
ted by sunstrokc. She was carried into Mr..
Carson's where she received prompt med
zeal aid, and where, during the evening
she regaincd her consciousness.
An individual, who was not aware Of
the fact that our first class saloons do not
adultcrate their liquors, as is the custom in
Memphis, dumped old rye and Bourbon
behind his countenance with . Memphian
looscness, and, Of course, fell. Being very
noisy, very abusive and very drunk, he
was escorted to the calabooso. This morn
ing Squire Shannessy listened to recital
of the aforesaid's cuttings.up, and OF.
pressed the opinion that the dignity of the
city had been damaged to the extent Of
80 60, The % 60 was handed over, and
the city's dignity thereby made as good as
ever.
Tho country is becoming overrun
with mad-dogs. During the past few
days five were killed in st. Louis, two in
Bcllevillc, three in Rock Island, two in
Bloomington, two In Centralia and two in
the neighboring county Of Pulaski. A
fearless discharge Of duty on the part Of
Marshal Bambrick has lessened the mum.
Der Of dogs in Cairo about two hundred.
The virus Of hydrophobia has, therefore,
that much loss material 70 operate on
Thanks to Bambrick for that much, and
renewed thanks for every dog he may add

The reappointment Of Mr.. William
McHale to the position Of city jailer is
fitting recognition Of that officers fidelity
and worth. During the past year he has
given the fullcs, satisfaction, whether act.

tendent Of the chain-gang. The Jail and
grounds have been kept in excellent order
the prisoners have been we'll fed, and not
the slightest imputation has ever been
brcathed against the jailcrs Characters an
honest and upright officer. His continu.
snce in Office, We repeat, is only jus, re.
cognition Of his faithful services.

About nine o'clock last night the Jury
IN the case Of the people rs Abraham Mis-
enhcimer, returned verdict OF Not
guilty. The jurors no doubt honestly
believed Misenhoimcr innocent Of the
charge preferred against him. We have
no disposition to question their honesty but
their verdict surprised quito number Of
our citizens, and among thi. number were
several who had heard the evidence
and weighed all the doubts suggested by
the defendants attorneys. But, while thccr
are many who believe that Dammermuth
died at.the hands Of young Missnhcimer, We
have seen no one who was not willing 10

Nobody believes that he intended to kin
the deceased. The wcpon he used not be.

struck but one blow, go to confirm this
belief. But the matter has now been
passed upon, Whether guilty or limo

the crime, and there are, therefore. only
few who regret his acquittal.
