LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

AN EMPTY CIsTERN.-In the rear of the
store corner Camp and Natchez streets was,
yesterday morning. cistern, fifteen hun
dred gallon capacity, mounted on slight
brick wall and frame work, recently erected.
Recent rain had filed it to overlooking. and
the weight was more than its strength could
support. The props gave way and the cis-
tern toppled over, the top falling to win
dow which opened into the bar.room, spilling
the fluid, flooding the lower floor with a
heavy surge. A waiter, George Taylor. was
at the time standing almost beneath the cis-
tern, when piece of scantlirg, being vic.
lently forced out of position, caught and
threw him to the top of the horizontal els
tern. leaving him outside of it, well drench-
ed, but otherwise unframed.

The UNMARRIED MoTHEB.-The young
woman whose history was partially given in
yesterdays REPUBLICAN, charged with in
fanticide, has not been alraigned, but is
still in prison, an object of sympathy to all
who possess knowledge of the affair. Efforts
have been made to effect her release on
bail, and, perhaps, success will follow to-
day. Coroner Roche will not fully investi-
gate the allegations before Monday. As the
culprit is of refined manners, and evidently
not to be greatly blamed for the alleged
ofense, we refrain giving her name
especially as it can crafty our readers to
only slight extent, and would be likely &c
brand her with infamy for the remainder o,
her life.
