A HUNTER ACCIDENTALLY KILLED ny PAT
KELLEYs Gun.
On last Friday morning, Pat Kelley,
formerly of this city, and party Of friends
started on deer hunt from q rendezvous
about six miles from Grenfeld's landing
in Missouri, opposite this city. Some Of
the party were on foot, and others were
riding. Kelly was on mule. After the
party had gone short distance the mule
became unru'y and threw Kelley who had
his gun before him resting before the sad
die. The gun was flung violently against
a fence, and was discharged, sixteen buck
shot of the load it contained entering the
groin of one of the party inhicting q fatal
wound. The sufferer, whose name we
could not learn, fingered in great agony
until Sunday when he died.
OUR RAILROAD lSTEREsT.-The present

perity should induce every citizen Of Cairo
to patronize Fred. Theobold, who has re-
turned to the city and taken charge of his
popular tonsorial palace, on Sixth street,
between Ohio levee and Commercial av-
enue. Fred. is a master in his business,
with reputation that extends far and
wide. He employs only the most skllful
workmen. His razors are sharp, his tow
els fresh and sweet, and his ba rber-shop as
clean and bright as new pin. Give Fred
a call, all for the sake of auld lang syne.

Gus headache jaundice, indigestion, con-
stipation, dyspepsia, blliousness, liver

DR. X. V. Price, of Buffalo, n. T., in his
book on Chronic Diseases, says in regard
to his Golden Medical Discovery, with
which our readers are familiar, "from its
wonderful power over Consumption of the
Lungs had thought strongly Of calling it
my Consumptive Cure; but from the fact
that it is a perfect specific for tho sore
throat and hoarsness to which ministers
and public speakers and singers are subject,
aud also for Bronchitis, and all serere
! coughs, and is an invaluable rsmedy for
diseases Of the Liver, and also rs q Blood
purifier. decided not to apply to it a
name which might misead and prevent its
use in other diseases for which it is so ad-
mirably adapted.
1t will cure a cough in one half the time
necessary to cure II with any other medi-
cine, and it does it not by drying it up but
by removing the cause-subduing the irri.

am away up here in the coal mining
regions Of Western Pennsylvania and

things orlocal importance happen here
once in while thought l would write
you few linesin regard TO tho latest hor.
ror which seems TO have agitated this
community not q little. AT o'clock on

Is attached to the cage, broke and pre-.
cipitatcd Il and five men to the bottom Of
tho SHAFT, o distance ofabout one hundred
and twenty feet, killing four OF them In
stantly and dangerously wounding the
firlh. Tho names OF the unfortunate men
arc as follows: Matthew MCDonel, VIM.
Crawford, - Snedden, - Watkins,
killed; Mordica, wounded. The rope
which broke had long been condemned
by the miners rs unfit for use, and rs the
owners had neglected TO put on n safety
catch there may be some trouble
In adjusting affairs, rs tho mining law Of
Pennsylvania attaches heavy penalties to
operators who neglect 10 have their safety
catches attached to their cages In their
shafts. Although tho law calls Tor them
to be in every shaft in the State, there Is
hardly one In tho Shenango Valley, and
very lew In Western Pennsylvania.

From what information ! can gather n
strike may bc expected soon In the btu.

the top ofthe barn, and then flying away
with Il in the direction Of 0 distant wood.
The next morning son of Mr., Taylor,
providing himself with q gun, proceeded
to the wood, and discovered the monarch
OF birds perched upon high limb, but
was unable 10 approach sufficiently near
to obtain an effective shot. Although he
eYinces such healthy appetite for young
lamb, he by no manner Of means confines
himself to that delicate and savory flesh,
but, unlike the Jews, shows a grosser
taste. A few days previously to his op.
erations as o sheep dealer he entered the
porcine trade, and carried off three pigs
belonging to William B. MNay, of the
same township. He has committed other
deprcdations in the same neighborhood,
but we did not learn particulars. He is
represented us being very large, and the
instances above mentioned show that he
has considerable power. His success as a
rDbber has justly alarmed farmers in that
vicinity, and no doubt strenuous efforts
will be made to close his career.
