ZMore slcighs were abroad yesterday,

-Messrs. Gerrickc and Roberts exhumcd
what was believed to be the coffin of Thomas
Cook last night; but upon opening the cof
fin it was found to contain the body of a
strange man, or, at least, a body that nobody
present could identify. Mr.. joan Cook, the
father of Thomas, was present and supposed
they had opened the right grave; but, Of
course, in this atterthey were all mistaken.
The bodies of Mr.. and Mrs. Mason and their
and their daughter were also taken up, and
will be conveyed to Villa Ridge to-day.
The boys and now and then persons
of maturcr years, had oceans of fun, yester-
day, pclting each other with snowballs.
The individual who walked hundred
yards, in certain portions Of the city, with
out receiving a thwack or two from we'll
aimed SNOWFALL. was more fortunate than
the able and dignitied editor" etc. For
the space of an hour or two the whole Sec
ond ward seemed to rest under a canopy Of
flying snowballs. But there is lots Of fun
in well contested SNOWFALL battle--if you
contemplate it from distance.
The Jolesboro Gazette says that Judge
gives Judge Mulkey cordial
support because of his acknowledged abil-
ity and integrity--cardinal virtues which
alone should have weight in choosing a
candidate for so elevated position as that
to which Judge Mulkey aspires--the SUI,
prcmc bench of the great State of Illinois.
Judge Crawford, in doing this, simply finds
himself in the company Of nine-tenths of
all the lawyers of the grand division, who
have no ambition to become candidates
The Judge understands the
needs Of the situation, and by his support
Of Mulkcy, indicates an honest desire to
properly supply them.
The wre,chcd human being who had
found his way to police headquarters, yes
tcrday morning, was an object to excite the
and compassion of the most har
dened. Sick, very weak, ill-clad dirty,
woe.bcgone and penniess we saw him
stretched upon the bare floor, the most mis-
cradle and wrctched creature we have seen
for months lie is foreigner; but ofwhat
we don't know. We could only
his name which he gave as
Paul Alexander Lewis. Where he came
from, or where he wants to 90, nobody
seemed to know. Continued neglect and
exposure will soon decide the matter, how
ever. He will 90 to the "sevcn-mile grave
yard"
The snow that covered "thc face of
yesterday morning, placed into
the hands of the tramps Of the city, the cas-
lest of means for obtaining a square meal.
Making an early start they called at every
house where the outside indications spoke
OF pretty good livers within, and applied for
the job Of shoyeling the snow off the steps.
Moved by the unusual spectacle of a tramp
applying for work of any kind, the party
applied to yielded at discretion and gave
the applicant wholesome hot breakfast,
for about five minutes work. 1t is not of.
ten, however, that the tramping vags are
fed by Cairo people with such toothscme
edibles as those Tor which they are indebt-
ed to the present "bcautiful snow"
The holidays are at hand, and Dan
