John Heaston will appear before
Squire Miller this afternoon to explain
why he carries certain burglarious tools
about his person, and Jack German will
state why he keeps company with such
suspicious personages as Heaston.
The editorial corps of the LEDGER
were made happy this morning by the
appreciative Literally Of the great con-
fectioner, Mr.: Joseph Specht. We have
always known that Mr.. Spechts estab-
lishment on Madison street was the pop
ular resort Of the lovers Of ice cream
and confectionaries, and now, having
tested the quality Of his ice cream, straw
berries, bon-bons and wine, we can ac-
count for it. The berries were some
what smaller than an ordinary sized
pineapple; the cream may have been
the fractional part of degree less cold
than an iceberg. and the wine little
less delicious than Jupiter's nectar, we
say it may have been, but we doubt it.
Thanks to Mr. Specht. llt8MN

The splendid panorama of Bunyan's
Pilgrims Progress, which has attracted
much interest everywhere it has been
shown, will be exhibited here at AS
sembly Hall, on Monday next and dur
ing the week. The following notice Of
this panorama we clip from an ex-
change:
The P1LGRIM.-To-night the beautiful
panorama of Bunyan's Pilgrims Pro-
gress will be exhibited at the theater.
The beauty of this entertainment is that
all classes of our citizens can attend
without fear of having their feelings
shocked. Indeed, the exhibition is
more interesting to members Of our
churches, for they will take deeper in
terest in the beautiful scenes than those
who are counted as among the ungodly.
Many of our citizens have witnessed the
panorama, but not so gorgeous as the
present, which has been painted at an
enormous cost and is entirely new.

has five feet to Jacksonport The Qua
chita has a good stage to Camden, and
other lower tributaries are falling. The
weather to-day is variable, and indica-
