The colored church deacon and widely
known Whitewater, Henry Bri,ton, is dead
The funeral services were held in the coorcd
M. Il. church in the commons, yesterday,
and was attended by the largest congrega-
ton of colored people ever called out in
Cairo, on like occasion. The procession,
composed of wagons, carriages and people
on foot was fully half mile long. Brit

good Judgment and, although unlearned,
he maintained CONSPICUOUS position among
his people.
About 9 or o'clock, yesterday morn
ing, man named S. S. Kcnshaw, was &C
costcd by two strangers, to him, whom he
met on Commercial avenue near the Ninth

for the time of night. Mr.. kenshaw I'M
suspectingly drew his watch, and while try
ing to decipher the time the watch was
snatched from his hands He instantly
yelled police" and the two strangers
seeing an acquaintance approaching, re-
turned the watch ana decampcd; but not
until one of them was fully recognized.
Mr.. Lohr appeared before Squire
Comings, yesterday, and complained of
one Ellen Foy as disturber Of the quiet of
the neighborhood. In due time Mrs, Foy
made her appearance With bruised,
scratched and inhamed face, she excited Il
gush of sympathy until it came out that she
had been giving Mr. ''another
| threshing" Her husband. (whOm she re-
peatedly referred TO as "a little peaceable
bit of man who was not able to belt the
| beggar'') attcmpted'his wites defence, and
became SO noisy, protnne and insulting that
he was fined s. for contempt of court. His
wife beng fined $40, and neither OF them
being able to pay, the dclectable couple
were started for the calaboose.,
The "Great Southern Ministries that
appear at the Atheneum tonight, are not |
corll-smcarcd imitators but genuine darkics,
done up in natures own colored wrsppings,
forming a company whose originality and
mirth provoking gifts and requirements are
unrivalled. The patrons Of the "Southerns'
get negro minstrclsy in its purity, and not
an imitation. Every member has a special
ty in which he is simply wonderful, and
whether as solo, duet or chorus singers, or
as clog or breakdown dancers or as come
dams, their rivals are most difficult to find,
and the superors are not on the American
or any other stage. Crowded houses greet
them everywhere, and Of course, Cairo will
not be an exception. If you purpose tax
ing lady, secure seat during the day,
and avoid the jam.

purpose of agGravating citizens who have

scrptions of money to pay for spirc that
will be in harmony with the building, let
them say so, and circulate the paper. The
required amount will be raised. II the
reader can picture candle extinguIsher on
the top of quarter tea chest, he has
fair representation OF the bclfry and spirc
in question. In looking at it, the stranger

self, and his inclination to climb up and
pull it out, becomes almost irresistible We
belong TO the impecunious order; but if
anybody asks us for money to aid in ceyat-
ING that spirc about forty feet, he can com
mand our pile, at any time.
The death of eX Governor Doughcrty,
