ularity, we are glad to hear, sticks to him.
The ball in Kluge's hall, last night,

well, notwithstanding the Indictment
weather.
Mr.. John Smith, who has had charge
of the machinery department of Halliday

A very fine quilt will be disposed of
by, rattle, tonight, at the residence of Mr..
Jake Lindsay, As the money goes to a
poor family We give the matter this gra-
| tious notice
Because Of the bottomless roads, the
city's usual supply of wood from the coun-
try is completely cut off Only one load
came in yesterday, and the team that
drawod it was stalled fifteen or twenty
times.
Persons In from the country report the
roads to be In o horrible condition, utterly
impossible in places even for empty
vehicles. Aside from pneumonia, of which
there are several cases. the health of the
country is good.
There will be spiritualistic exhibi-
ton in the Atheneum tonight, during
which ghostly forms, detached heads and
other spookish horrors will people the air,
in the full glare of the gas light, Such, at
least, is the promise of the "sinall bills
1t was not a couple of young ladies"
that fought like angered beasts about a
disputed half dollar, the other day; but a
couple of young ladies Ii is not the
habit OF Cairo ladies, young or old, to
engage in that kind of pastime
If any country or cline is capable of
getting up worse specimen of weather
than that which enveloped Cairo in
mostly, misty, maddening gloom, yesterday
afternoon, the inhabitants of that country
or cline are justified, in the sight of God
and man, in committing suicide.
The Corporation Counsel, W. B. Gill
bert, Esq, gives it as his opinion that the
City Council has the undoubted right to
compel merchants to take out license. Mr..
G. holds that the power conferred by the
old charter Ito license, tax and regulate
merchants" stands unrepealed and in full
force. '.
Eighth street is in a shocking condi-
ton. From Commercial to Washington
the mud is ankle deep, black and repul.
sive. As this street, between the points
named. is travelled more than any other
in the city, il would not be an lnjudicious
use of cinders to coat it herewith to the
depth of about eight inches.
John Stevens, the negro who cut Horace
Moore quite severely with razor, week
or ten days ago, had preliminary exam
ination before Judge Bird, yesterday, and

day, on charge of drunkenness. All of
them being proved 9 uilty alike, were fined
alike, viz: two dollars and addendas, each.

Others having no money, were calaboosed.
The much talked of race between Har-
lem and Butcher Boy will come off on the
Cairo race course next Saturday. Consider
able money is staked on the result, and as
the race has been pretty well advertised it
will doubtless draw large crowd Of spec
tators. The matter is the chief topic of
conversation, in the upper part of the city,
even at this early day.
And now, after so many years of mar
ried life, our fellow townsman, Henry Eli
OFT, welcomes to his bed and board, a hearty
kicking specimen of boy baby. He now
has his well.spring of joy in the family;
and can enjoy the blessed privilege of fall
ing over the rocking chair hunting the par
egoric bottle, in the dark, just as often as
the occasion may require it.
-- Mr.. Jacob Martin, has invented and
patented barrelmaking machine that
promises to revolutionize the manner of
making barrels. One man manufactures
fourteen or fifteen -four barrels per day. BY
the use of Martins machine he will truss,
bevel and chime about four times that
number every hour. The coopers don't re-
gard the machine with any particular favor.
Attachments were issued yesterday, for
