| The filling on Seventh street, beyond
Walnut, is progressing favorably. 1t was
much needed improvement, and will add
very materially to the value of the prop
erty in that quarter of the city.
Probate court will convene this morn
ing, in pursuance Of Fridays adjournment.
The term will be only of a few days dura-
ton, as most of the business docketed for
the November session was disposed of last
week.

-Messrs. Hinkle G. Thistlewood slaugh-
tered their first hogs yesterday, and will,

fine hogs were driven into their yard yes
terday evening.
1t is a suggestion that our people will
heartily second suggestion that testi-
monial be presented to Mayor Winter for
his faithful fearless work, both as citi-
zen and an officer, during the prevalence of
the plague among us. He deserves it. and, in
our opinion, it should assume the shape of
purse of gold coins.
A Mr.. Dolan was brought before the

Of disorderly conduct-a purpose to engage
in rough-and-tumble personal renconter

Readers of The BULLETIN who become
apprised of facts, accidents or incidents
that will admit of itemical digestion, will
win our lasting gratitude by communicating
them to us, either verbally or by postal
card A mere intmation that we are wanted
will take us, at any time, except on the LIST
of April, to any part of the city.
Mr.. Jacob Martins new brick resi-
dence, on Center street, is receiving the
finishing touches, and will be ready for oc-
cupancy about the Goth Of December. 1t
has pleasant exterior, intellectually. The
interior has been arranged with an eye
more to comfort and convenience than to
elegance; and the result is it is one of the
''handiest" and most sensibly arranged
homes in the city.
IVES. Lane, who has been doing extra
duty on the Louisville and Nashville road
has accepted situation on the Illinois Cen
trail, to do switch duty in Cairo. He was
on the passenger train of the l.. n. & G.. n.
road, on Monday of last week, when the
train dashed into the rear of freight train,
killing the fireman and injuring the engi-
neer and baggageman. He intimated that
the engineer, like dad" OF the scrcnade
song,

THE BULLETIN has always been rig
id stickler for economy in corporation ex.
penditures; but we really think the COM
pcnsation fixed for the mayor, is not
enough. There is not brakeman on
any of our railroads, or deckhand on any
of our steamboats, who is not better paid
than the mayor Of the city Of Cairo. SO
much is now required at the hands Of that
officer thar he has but little time to devote
to anything else. If he neglects his official
duties TO chase down dollar or two out
side, he is heartily berated for the delin-
quency. If, on the other hand, he gives
his undivided attention to his office he must
if he be a poor man, nearly starve. The sala-
ryought, therefore, to be doubIed--raised
to 81 900 per annum.
The late night clerk Of the Arlington
IIousc-a confessed embezzler Of his en-
plOycrs funds--has turned up in West
Troy, n Y. On his arrival there he wrote
his late employer letter which, for check
mess and brazcn.faced audacity, is not to
be surpassed. Canyassing the damaging
developments that the proprietor Of the Ar
lington, Mr. McCaw.ey, has connected him
with; and passing in review the crimes
that have been fastened to his character as
with hooks Of steel, he asks Mr.. Nee TO go
ahead, and send him "a receipt in full, y
whenever he may think that the account is
squared between them. If Mr.. Nc is not
more compassionate than the most Of men
the account will not be squared until the
brazen rascal is made to cry mercy" and
shows by his contrition that he deserves it
You will perform n DUTY you owe to
yourself and the public if you will turn
away empty handed every healthy tramp
that importunes you for something to eat
