| Carl Peters, not to be out-done by his
fellow grocers now sports handsome de
livery wagon, and delivers his supplies to
any part OF the city. Carls hennery is a
success, even beyond his expectations. 1t

offer proper encouragement, he will increase
the number of his chickens until the mere
grinding operations of their gizzards will
require the constant employment Of thirty

Mr.. and Mrs. A. j. Cunditf, of Padu-
cab, with their respective lawyers, appeared
before Squire Comings, yesterday, and took
the dispositions of James Mason, A. j.

Collector Hodges sold delinquent town
lots, yesterday, the tax upon which
amounted 10 over one thousand dollars.

peoples temper if the jailor would use
three or four of the lusty fellows, especially
directly after showers, in the work Of
clearing the mud from the crosswalks

While the Champion was the act OF
leaving our wharf yesterday morning, Il
colored woman on the bank gave vent to
her feelings Of anger and resentment, in
language neither studied nor elegant. She

Quite q number Of our Cairo young
folks have been hidden to n 4th of July
ball at the Winstead House, in the town of
