The Cairo daily bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1870-1872, 1872-11-10

KENO; CORRECT.
Election day was the most quiet one ever
held IN ST. Louis. Steam YVES shut of
,arly in the morning and was not turned
On again till after dark, after which things
we're red hot till midnight.
The excitement attending election has
driven oil thoughts ofthe
SMALLPOX
Into the shade. 1t is said, by the doctors
that the deaths last week were more nu-
although tho cases were not as
many, than the week previous. Many
persons are wearing about their neeks, rs
a prophy lastic TO help off the disease,
little bags filled with sweet smelling asn-
fetida and camphor,a delicious compound,
the aroma Of which, MS it is constantly
wasted by their nostrils, must transport
the happy possessors to the clysian fields.
THE EpIzooT
Has not taken root yet--not much but we
live in happy expectations of the snme.
The week has ushered in with = cold,
wet, driving storm.
ADJUSTMENTS.
The different places Of amuscmcnts have
been only tolcroblv well attended during
the week with one exception. We refer to
DKBARs OPERA HOUSE.
The general countenance of George J
Jones, Esq, the worthy treasurer of which,
has worn an unusually placid smile for the
past two weeks, rs the greenbacks have
flowed through the little pigeon hole the in
box-ofiice in liberal quantities night after
night, by crowds eager to see Chanfrau
in kit" which, though a purely sensa-
'ional piece, full Of shooting FIRE, stabbing
&c, has created quite furore by his in
mitabe acting. After all "DeBar's" is
he jovial place for the old citizens of st.
Louis, and will continue to be until new
and more modern temple for the drama
IS erected. Kit" has been handsomely
mounted and placed on the stage in unex-
,eptionable style. Several of the local
scenes, including the bar and billiard room

ure of the "Medora," the cabin of the
sr,e under way, together with the final
explosion and burning up of the steamer
ire we'll wrought up and nightly bring
orth enthusiastic applause A much de-
ired improvement has been effected in the
heatre, by extending the paraquet'e back
o the dress circle and removing the pit -
which puts the "boys" all in the upper re-
;ions, where they can yell to their hearts
content.
THE HAYDN ORCHESTRA.
An amateur association, composed of some
fifty of our well.known citizens, gave the
first of series of subscription concerts Mt
the Mercantile Library hall few even
ings since, TO crowded audience, which,
for musical discrimination and refinement,
has not been surpassed this season. We
we're much surprised at the precision,
harmony and exquisite style with which
the contents of the excellent programme
were executed. They could not have OBJ
tanned better compliment than the fac,
that the entire audience remained till the
close of the concert, which, we are sorry tc
say, is seldom the case at any entertain
ment in ST, Louis.
