The celebrated pugiIist, Mike Nc
Coole, was in Cairo, yesterday, and may be
for aught we know, IN the city still. We
have heard it said that many years ago Nc
Coole made Cairo his home. He did hare
and honest work, it is said, as a hand OF
Capt. Wilson's coal fleet He was ther
regarded man of great physical strength
but we take 1t that he had not, at that time
ever dreamed of the notoriety to which ht
was destined,
"A small gang Of negroes were engaged
in the game of shooting dice, in one Of TIT
shebangs on Fifth street, about 3 o'clock
Yesterday evening, and two of the gang dit,
fering as to the result of game, quarre
ensued. Harsh words were used, and tller
brick was thrown. The party toward
whom the brick was tossed, whipped out q
pistol and fired. The brick-thrower ran
turned, threw another brick, and was fired
on again and again, being the object of five

is left to speculation. And after all thi:
peril the grocer didn't want any vinegar
The ordeal was not only trying, but mighty
rough on fellows breeches.

celved the gratifying intelligence that Mr.

time at Crittenden Sulphur. springs, a'doy,
travel from Metropolis, he would now be {
