SECOND WARD,


like in the first, the big fight was for the
treasurer. The friends of Rittenhouse
and Blake were on the alert, and it was q
hard matter to pass through the crowd
that thronged the sidewalk in front of
the voting places without being
asked at least half a dozen times
for which one of the candidates your vote
would be cast. Mr.. Smyth also had
friends at work here, but they we're not
30 numerous as in some of the other
wards, - will DO seen by the vote as pub
lished below.
Hawloy and Hawkins were tho princi-
pal candidates for clerk, the other young
gentlemen 10 the fold receiving only a
few votes. Both the frat named being we'll.
known and popular, both Of the same faith
politically, and equally competent to dis.
charge tho duties of the office, there was
little choice between them, a, the vote
below will show.
For aldermen, Messrs, II. Never
and Capt. N. Is. TLis,lewood for the
long term, and Mr.. u. d. Mathuss and A.
Comings to fill the vacancy in the board
occssioned by the resignation of Mr.. Rt-
tenhouse, were the candidates. They are
all god men, and well qualified to serve
in the council. Capt. Thistlewood for the
long term, md Mr.. T. d. Ma,huss to fiji
vacancy, were the successful cand dates.
For city attorney, II w. Webb and II.
IL. Black had it single handed.
M Webb received u very handsome ma
jority in this ward.

circus, who does not know or heard of Old

philosopher and philanthropist. Although
the hand Of time has been laid upon him,
he Is still the fellow of infinite lest, who
delighted our younger days. Dan Rice
will again exhibit his great river show
and circus here, at Cairo, on Friday,
April Gath, with a company
full and complete, and presenting
an entertainment highly commended by
the press generally. Dan Rice is tho best
circus man in the world. He has 90 long
been engaged in the business tina, the best
OF chronologcrs believe him to be a hum
dred years of age. Dan Rics's name re-.
wives "reminiscences OF youthful days. 1t
brings to mind ginger cakes, cider and
apple pies, and to-day Dan Rice offers as
good an entertainment as attracted eyerv
one in anti-bellum times. Remember TO
