Very 77YsiPriHsiI.

From a gentleman who was present
we learn that horse and buggy (open
top, was found in the road at the farm
of Mr.. VIM. Westerfield, near Whites
vile, Davies county, early on the
morning of Friday last. The horse
had evidently come upon the premises
sometime during the night preceding,
and when found, was wandering at
leisure upon the roadway, with the
buggy attached, the lines hanging over
the dash board into the buggy. Every
thing about the rig was intact, and no
sign Of an occupant, save hat which
was lying on the bottom of the vehicle.
Mr.. Westerfield waited for claimant
of the equipage until noon of Friday,
but as none appeared he went to
Whitesville to seek information, taking
the horse and buggy with him. At
that place he failed to learn anything
as to the ownership or even to get
a recognition Of either horse or buggy.
Since that !time every effort has been
made to obtain clue to the owner
ship, but up to Sunday afternoon not
a particle of information has been gath
cred.
There may be no startling Particu-
lars behind all this, but it is certainly
a little strange, not to say mysterious,
that a horse and buggy should be found
precisely as in this instance, and sub,
sequent inquiries fail to find an owner
or any one able to recognize the turn

Rough creek is higher than it has
been for several yearS, and it is
thought by many that much damage
will be done. Those living hntween
here and its mouth are vcay uneasy
about their fencing, for in many places
it is over bank full. The highest rise
known by the Oldest citizens was in
1867, and it now lacks but u few inches
of FLEEING up to the highest point reached
that rise.

A City In Danger orDrovninp,

Some time in October last the Miss
issippi river began eating into the ILL.,
inOis shore two or three miles above
Cairo, and the process has continued
until the city is threatened with serious
danger. The authorities could not or
would not do anything to arrest the
ravages of the river, at the time when
a little labor, promptly applied might
have proved effectual; and now the
abrasion has gone so far that it is only
about a quarter of a mile across the mar
row neck from river to river, and this
distance being gradually diminished
by the unobstructed pressure of the
Mississippi against the soft alluviou.
1t is feared that if some prompt action
be not taken the Mississippi will eat its
way into the Ohio, making an island
Of Cairo, and that this island will then
be gradually washed away. Some of
the railroads that enter the city are
having trouble already with their app
proaches, and the others are threaten
ed. The difficulty is too great for the
town authorities, with their limited
resources, to meet, and they have de-
termined to call upon Congress to save
their city, by building dixie to re-
claim the area that has been lost. and
protect the shore from abrasion. The
estimated cost of the work is about
S15O,OOO. Gen. Simpson has recently
visited the scene and made ar informal
examination of it, though he has no
authority to begin any work for the
protection of the city. If Cairo is to
be saved, the Illinois members of Con-
gress will have to ask the Government
to do its. Louis 3epU5licU,.

Criminal Court Wanted.

We have heard from some quarter
that the bill now pending before the
Legislature providing for the establish,
ment of a Criminal Court in this dis
trict, will be amended, so as to make
the new Court a Court of Common
Pleas, Or that an effort to thus amend
the bill will be made. We are led to
believe that a Criminal Court and not
a Common Pleas Court, is what the
interest of the public requires. The
establishment of a Criminal Court sep,
arates the criminal from the civil bust.
ness, and at once affords better facilities
for the thorough and successful prosecu-
ton of these two distinct branches Of
law. We hope at an early day to be
able to report the passage of the bill
now pending before the Legislature

A Mystery Unexplained.

Two persons walked into the Hart
ford House counting>room, registered,
had a saddle-hOrse taken to the stable,
and gave Mr.. Lyon fine double>bar-
rel shot gun for safe keeping. After
spending two or three days around
town, one of the men ordered his horse,
remarking to the landlord that he had
a lot of cattle about three miles from
town, and, engaging lot for them, he
started to drive them in. About an
hour afterward No. 2 stepped in, saying
that, if Mr.. Lyon had no objection, he
would take his gun and meet his part>
ner and assist in driving the cattle,
and, perhaps he might kill some squir.
rels on the road. Lyon, with his
most afable smile, handed over the
gun and wished him success among the
squirrels. As about week has elapsed
and the men are still absent, Lyon
is apprehensiye that some accident has
happened to them. Could he be as
sured that apremature discharge ofthe
gun had killed them both, that the cat
tie had gored them to death, or that
the high living they enjoyed at the
hotel had given them the cholera NOR
bus, Lyon would be happy.
