There is a smaller number OF crimi-
nal cases to be tried at the coming term
of the circuit court than at any previous
| term for a number OF years. So far the
docket contains only about dozen cases,
and when the grand jury shall have
passed on the charges against prisoners
now in Jail 1t is believed the number of
cases will not be swellcd to over twenty.
At this rate it is thought the court will
be able to dispose OF all criminal business
during the second week of the term.
There are no criminal cases of import
ance on the docket.

Willie Ghilchrist, q colored lad, took
Oh too much Christmas whisky, and not
knowing what else to do concluded to
put an end to a ball being held in Phil

The ice gorges and the consequent
low water in the Mississippi river below
this port, is working great hardship on
Cairo commission merchants. Hundreds
of cars of through freights tor New Or
leans are arriving here daily by the Cairo
Short Line from st. Louis and over the
Illinois Central from Chicago, This
through business renders it difficult to
procure cars at this point, nearly all the
Illinois and Mississippi Central, as
well as large number OF
cars belonging to other roads, being
loaded with through freight. While this
is the condition of affairs with the rail-
roads.river business is practically" played
out" for the present. The river is so
low that stcamboatmen cannot be in
duced to take the risk of an attempt to
get out with anything like heavy cargo.
How long this condition OF affairs will
last cannot be even guessed at with
safety.
