ACCORDING TO Indian accounts Of the
battle Of the Little Big Horn, June &c,
Sitting-Bull did not himself participate
in the fight, but, like a discreet COM

Moon were the principal chiefs engaged.
They claim to have killed about 800
white men and captured some 600
stand of arms, besides a large number

The sewers in several places were left
open until late Sunday morning before
efforts were made to close them. The
one near the Gamble wagon factory was
not closed until near noon, and the low
ground between Ohio Levee and the
Cairo and Vincennes railroad track is
now several feet under water. Had
proper precautions been taken to sec that
the sewers were closed this might have
been prevented; and We suggest to those
whose business it is to attend to such
matters, that in the future it -hall be seen
to that when the rivers,arc Ion the rise
the sewers are properly closed before the
town is half full of water.
Since writing the above we notice that
the sewer ut the corner OF Washington
avenue and Fifteenth street is partially
open, and that considerable water Is nc
cumulatlng in that vicinity. This matter
should he attended to ut once.

II Is not necessary to tell the readers OF
the BULLETIN anything about the man
ner in which Miss f. II. Scventy-siX was
ushered in in Cairo. They know all
about 1t. That the bells, great aud small,
rang whistles blew; bands played I;
that bond fires were had; that Roman
candles. rockets, fire crackers, pistols
and guns were lired-in short that the
most terrible "rnckct' ever heard in
Cairo, was heard on this occasion, is a
fact known TO every resident of the city.
Therefore, we say, 1t is unnecessary to
tell our readers anything about the
jubilee.

His Report.

A few weeks ago MIR. Oberly was sent
to Washington, by the City Council OF
Cairo. to ascertain whether an appro-
priation to improve the Mississippi river
at this place could be obtained from con-
gress. Mr. Oberly has made a report TO
the Finance Committee of the Council,
and has said, he has no doubt an appro.
priatiOn for the purpose named can be
obtained but, he adds, sit is not ut all
probable the committee on com
mcrcc. to which Mr.. Hartzclfs
bill has been referred, will re-
port iavorably upon t,or even report upon
1t at all, unless the City Council,
the citizens of Cairo, river men,
and others who believe the appropriation
should be made, make an effort to con-
vince the committee that 1t Is necessary.
With his report Mr.. Oberly has sent to
tho council the form of memorial tc
congress, which he suggests shall be
adopted by The council and the people
This is very important matter, and tho
people of Cairo should take an interest In
1t, and do all they can to induce congress
to give to us the security that will result
from the proper improvement ofthe river
