| by the city, in lieu OF costs, DC paid to
Souircs Robinson and Comings, an equal
portion to each, while they are performing
the police magistrates duties. The tub to
be thrown to Squire Osborn is all the fines
he may collect. The proposition is fair
enough, if the three justices are agreed. If
we mistake not the matter was brought to
the attention of the council, last week, but
elected no discussion:
--Phocion Howard has established new
weekly paper in Danville, to which he has
given the name of the "Danyille Bourbon"
The head is awkwardly imbcllished with
bust cuts of Jackson and Calhoun. The
editorials are exceedingly aggressive and
possess all the fire and snap that Phocion is
wont to impart to his writings. The Bour-
bon declares for the reelection of Tilden
in 1880. The local advertising patronage is
not what it ought to be, if there is purpose
20 sustain the paper.
Perhaps the drunkest man in Cairo,
yesterday, was the larricue Andy Cain
picked up on Thirteenth street, about six
o'clock, in the evening He was as timber
as an empty bag; and had he been the
ownefof the world he would doubtless
have given it all for the privilege of throw
ing himself at full length on the sidewalk
and of taking three hours sleep. He
managed, however, with the support of two
men, to plunge along until he reached the
calaboose. Once there he was in the arms
of Morpheus in four seconds.
Mr. William Kendall, the gardener is
short a fine mule, and he is inclined to yield
10 the impression that the animal has been

come dissatisfied with their acquisitions and
after riding EN- a score Of miles OF more,
turn EN- loose to shift for themselves. Four

The resorts Of patent medicine ped
oilers to draw crowds are often ingenious
and decidedly original. We had a peddler OF
liniment here the other day, who travelled
with a learned horse. Another liniment
peddler is on the way here with negro
minstrel troupe that he draws around1n q
two-holse-wagon. He is in Paducah, now,
and viii, if he stays long enough, bankrupt
the town. Business men close stores, labor
ers quit work and the whole population
gather about the wagon to witness the per-
formances OF the ministries. II is con-
! iectured that, with the possible exception
of three persons, every man in Paducah has

1t may be assumed that the report OF
The pistol that signahzed the death Of jim
Mccham, awakened all the slcepcrs in the
house That none OF these heard the fcrO-
cious watch dog bark, is convincing cvi-
dence to lis that the murderer did not run
away from the building Immediately after
firing the shot Tins very fact furnishes a
clue which the officers should not overlook.
That the wife, awakened by the report, did
net sec anybody or hear any rctreating
footsteps, is another fact OF no little consc-
