The Cairo and Vincennes railroad will
run a special train from Carmi to mound
city next Friday, carrying passengers at
considerable less than half price, Trains
, will be RIM from Cairo to Mound city every

The funeral sermon of the Rev. George
w. Ellis was preached in the A. NJ f.
church Sunday, the Free Benevolent Sons
of America, to which order deceased be-
longed; the colored Masons and the mem
bers of the other secret orders among the
colored people, attended in force, and all Of
them in regalia. The procession, abont 200
strong, with banners, and the insignia of
the different orders, passed up Washington
avenue, about II o'clock in the forenoon,
and made a very nice appearance
Governed by the public notice given
we stated in Sundays Bulletin that the
collector would commence the sale of real
estate, delinquent for taxes, Monday NOM
lug. It seems, however, that the county
court has not yet rendered judgment on the
; delinquent list As a consequence tax pay
ers have their interval of grace heightened
eight or ten days. Parties who can pay
now as we'll as ten days hence, can make
nothing by delay. The rendering Of
|. judgement will increase the cost more than
n the ten days interest on the money will
Il cover
It
On the lookout for items, yesterday,
we met the great criminal lawyer, iustus
Cunningham. He informed Us thathe is do
" ing as effective work as any lawyer belong
'o ing to the Cairo bar. He Is engaged in
W many important suits, and in one Of them
v expects to make himself heard from the
IL court house to East Cairo. He is constantly
~ receiving propositions from abrcad-onc
covering the offer of q partnership in a
r Chicago law firm that has practice worth
oi $500 year, If the firm would, il return,
III take partnership in Justus omnibus bus
'e mess, the proposition would be considered !;
lie but not otherwise.
Sunday evening lot of mis2hieyouS
boys gathered a lot OF paper that had been
IL swept from the New York store. into pile
and then apply a match to the heap, ran
y down Commercial avenue screaming fire ~
: The alarm and dense column of smoke
: that arose soon called out nearly every
body in the neighDorhOod. The bad boys
looked on from distance, heartily enjoy
e ing the cOmmotion they had created. What
e those boys needed was somebody to raise
Il the temperature of their respective poste-
rior parts to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, in the
r shade.
Noah Harris is known as an industrious
well-to-do colored man who lives in the
vicinity Of Beech Ridge, How he excited
the enmity Of Henry Sims, we are not adj
J vised; but Sims became not only hostile
but vcngeful, A few nights ago Noah's
= corn-crib well filled with corn, was set on
fire, and the crib and its contents were
quite destroyed. Noah having good rea-
son for believing Sims the inccndiary came
into town, obtained a writ for his arrest,
s and yesterday afternoon the writ was placed
&c in the hands of an officer, who Immediately
II set out to execute it, 1t is quite likely
it that Sims is now quartcred under the court
r house.
Il Our congressman, the gushing John
+ Robert Thomas was industrously engaged
in "hurling Democrats from the battle.
u mcnts OF heaven down into he'll, the abode
II of the traitors and the damned" the last
n time we heard from him. It must have
l. been very hot work, even then, especially
re when Democrats felt dsinclned to go over
III the battlements, Imagine John Robert
II now, while the mercury touches the nine,!cs,
H. playing the game Of "hurl" with David
Davis, and you have picture that starts
L perspiration from every pore of your body,
III and starts you, all unconscious in search
le for ice water. But seriously, ifThomas in.
o. tends to follow "hurling" as II steady bust.
