M. j. Howley has taken the real estate
business of John Q. Harmon, Esq. Mr.
Hartman will probably 60 to Mt. Vernon
next week.
Miss Sarah Black, daughter of Mr. A.
Black, has returned from an extended tour
of the eastern cities, and is now in the city
She had been absent several months.
The snow fall of yesterday was one Of
the heaviest that has visited this country for
many years. Had the ground been frozen,
instead of wet and sloppy, the snow would
have reached depth of seven or eight in
ches.
Our fire bells give out so many false
alarms that citizens give but sluggish re-
Spouse, until convinced that the alarm is
warranted. There is altogether too much
of the crying "wolf. wolf. when there is
no wolf"
We are comparatively happy. We
have found river editor who does not COM
mence all of his paragraphs with the article
Tor adjective, if you would rather have it
that way "the.' That editor is devoting
his time and talents to the river columns of
The BULLETIN.
j ]. Stelzcr, late of this city, finding
Harrisburgs demand for watchmakers
abundantly supplied, pulled up stakes
there and migrated to Shawneetown, where
he now is. He will complete the circle
and get back home, in few months more.
A wedding of some note is to come off
in Centralia on December end. The con-
tracing parties are Mr.. Fred Allen, train
dispatcher at that station, and Miss Jennie
Roberts, of the same locality. Mr.. Thomas
Morgan, of Cairo, and Miss Eva Roberts,
sister Of the bride. will be the supports.
The criminal, law and chancery dock
cts for the next term of the circuit court are
small. Upon the last named docket three
or four suits for divorce are entered, notice
of the tendency Of one of which suits APP
pears in another column. The parties to
the other cases are colored people. On the
criminal docket there is not single case in
which the public take an interest
AT late hour last night we learned
that the wife Of Mr.. Louis Petrie living
near the box factory, was very seriously
burned. Mrs. p. was washing at the time
Of the accident, having her back toward
the fire, when her dress caught from
the stove, and before the flames could be ex-

Owing to the lateness of the hour we were
unable to learn further particulars.
We can't charge it to the compositor.
There is no loop-hole through which to es-
cape, We did it ourselves, and must and
do beg pardon. Without her knowledge
or consent we changed Miss Rogers, of the
Eleventh street primary school, into Mrs.
Rogers, and with persistency quite exas-
perating, used that unauthorized prefix
three several times. Why we did 50, we
have not the remotest conception
If Capt W. P. Wright doesn't succeed
Col. McKeaig in the Cairo post office, the
fact will not be ascribable to any want of
effort on the part Of the captains friends,
or any lack of endorsements as to his fitness
for the place, or favorable expression of

1t sometimes happened, but not often
that the meeting Of two or more youngsters
yesterday, did not at once provoke snow
balling contest For period of two OF
three hours scarcely man, woman or chile
passed the corner of Thirteenth and Wash
