Mr.. John Mckay, who, since the estab-
lisbment of the East Cairo station, had re.
sided in this city, on Eighteenth street. has
| now taken up his residence in Water Val
ley, Mississippi, which point thus becomes
| the headquarters of the superintendent of
the northern division Of the Chicago and
New Orleans railroad
"A lad WHO had run away from Hop
kinsville, Ky, was in the city yesterday
one of the unhappiest youngsters we have
seen for many day. He had no money
and, of course, was faring roughly. AS he
expressed desire to reach Paducah and
return home, it is probable that he was
placed in possession of sufficient funds to
enable him to pay his passage to that city.
The regular monthly contest for the
offices of the Center archery club, came off
Monday evening. The offices, or rather,
the right to fill and enjoy them, are awarded
to the parties making the best score. Under
this arrangement Miss Ella Robbins won
the Office of President Mr.. Pepnybaker
the office of Vice President, and Miss Mary
Halliday the Office Of Secretary and Treas
urer.
The horse that Davis stole to facilitate
his escape from Olive Branch and that re-
gion of the country, was found day before
yesterday, saddled and bridled, as Davis
had dismounted from 1t, picking its way
homeward again. Davis is middle-aged
man, forty-fve years of age, perhaps and
the man that captures him will be set
ahead about fifty dollars. 1t might pay
our country readers to keep their eyes
about them"
The Springfield Journal, Of Monday
says "the newspapers of the state are very
generally publishing the statement that the
State Register has been sold to Hon. John
H. Oberly and others. On the authority of
the Register we contradict the statement"
The Register, for itself, intlmates that an
early sale Of the establishment is not
among even the remote probabilities; and
thus for the second time is Mr.. Oberly dis
associated from the editorial management
of the Springfield Register.
One Of the four or five "horse cases
came on for hearing, yesterday. before
Squire Robinson. The trial was founded on
writ Of replevin sued out by the owners of
certain horses that were impounded under
the ordinances of the city. Nearly the
whole day, yesterday, was devoted to the
hearing OF one case, and that case, we hear,
is not to serve as test case. The Squire
will probably pronounce judgment to-day.
Great interest was manifested in the trial,
the court room being well filed, nothwith-
standing the melting weather.
--"Shang," the negro who did the whole
sale Job Of shooting, on the coal barge, two
or three months ago had "a woman" as is
the custom of men of his character. And
having woman, lie had to rent room
and renting q room he became responsible
for rent he was unable to pay. AS a con
sequence whereof the contents Of said room
were sold at auction, yesterday, under a
"destraint warrant" An inventory of the
trumpery would, if published, give rise to
grave suspicious Of Shangs honesty. 1t
was o wonderful collection Of stuff
! "A white boy named Thomas Williams,
IA or Is years Of age came over from Mis-
souri,, yesterday, and while In search Of en-
ployment, wandered TO the river in the Vi
cinity Of the cosl feet, While walking
around in that neighborhood vicious dog
dashed from Stetlers fish boat, and rushing
upon the boy, vii him quite severely. The
boy subsequently found bis way to police
headquarters, where his wounds received
proper ettention. If the dog is the kind o
an animal he is represented to be, ht
oughtn't to be allowed to live anothe
twentyfour hours
: 1t is quite probable that patriotic PEG
pie, living in large cities will, in the future
be prohibited by law from a use Of fire
works aud fire arms IN the celebration @
the 4th of July. The terrible accident
and contiagrations chargeable to that cause
j, will enforce the enactment of strictly pro
hbitory ordinances. IF the nse of explosive

( dents and disasters would still occur bu
