The invitation we gave yesterday TO

raid on fourth ward chicken roost, was
accepted. You invited to come observ-

Charley Henderson and an immense
fish tray, which he was lining for use in
John Sproat's fish and game market, form
ed one of the distractions we stumbled
against yesterday, and accosting him he as
sured us that he was kept " too busy to tell
the truth" Even then we did not believe
/. him.
AT half past II o'clock last night, after
the police had left headquarters, on their
rounds of duty, they heard two distinct taps
from the IIibernian fire bell. Repairing to
the spot they discovered an old gentleman
concealed under the sidewalk. He was
doubtless the culprit, but his object in ring
| ing the bell remains an enigma. He was
arrested for disorderly conduct.

NaTowgauge railroad, not because we
have partially for that thoroughtare; but
because the article possesses a local inter

cations concerning all the roads in the sue
cess Of which Cairo feels an interest. In
TRUTH it affords us pleasure to surrender
space for such a purpose, and we take oc-

of like character from the officers or
friends Of any Of the roads that find termini
in Cairo.
1t is absolutely wonderful Ten thous-
and people here, gathered from all quarters
of the earth, and yet single case drunken
ness makes up the police report for the
twenty-four hours past. But for the pres
encc of one William Turner, in our midst,
not single customer would have dark
ened the doors Of our police courts. He
rot drunk, was taken before Judge Bird
and was fined three dollars. Being tran
silent person, and promising to shake from
his feet the dust Of our city, he was given
until o'clock to vamoose our corporation
rancho.
Within the past score of years, the
Egyptian who cultivated one hundred acres
, OF ground was considered an extensive
farmer" The size Of our farms seems to
) grow with the growth of the country
, Coniirmatory of this we point to the farms
/ Of the McClme's, in the upper part of Alex
andcr county. Not many years ago sin
