enabled to Judge demeaned themselves as
gentlemen and conscientious officers. We
have heard nothing to their discrcdit, that
did not turn out, upon inquiry, to be un-
founded.
We saw an ingenious device yesterday,
in the way OF swivel. The ring and hook
are connected with an eliptical shaped
tody, the upper portion beng solid iron
md the lower portion bored out or hollow.
In this bore the hook, heavily headed,
works freely, turning as the twists in the
chain or rope to which it is attached, may
require. 1t is immensely strong and we
see no reason why it might not displace the
other swivels in use. Mr.. Thomas Morgan
is the designer and maker; and although it
is not at all complicated, but few of our
blacksmiths are prepared to say that they
can make one like II,
On the evening OF the eth ultimo a
large lot of hides were stolen from Kynas-
ton and Smiths slaughter house, and Mr.
Smith obtaining what he regarded safe
clue to the direction the thieves had taken,
made pursuit Before reaching St. Louis
he lost track of the rascals, and finally was
compelled to abandon the pursuit. Before
doing so, however, he determined to restock
the slaughter house with hides. Accord
ingly he made his way to the ST. Louis
market and purchased full car load.
These hides. as soon as they are stripped
from the very choice cattle that are now
wearing them, will be placed within con-
venient reach of the next hide thieves that
may chance along.
We were not aware, until reminded N
the fact, that Yesterdays BULLETIN made
no mention of the fact of the death Of
Theodore Carrigan. We wrote notice OF
the sad occurrence; but as it did not appear
in the paper, we presume it never reached
the hands of the printers. Mr.. Carrigau
| died of consumption, and had been con
fined to his bed several months. The tele.
graphers Of Chicago took the body in
charge, gave it decent sculpture, and raised
about 5000 TO assist the widow, who, be-
cause of her husbands prouacted sickness,
was in very Strengthened circumstances
Theodore was noble. minded, generous
hearted young man, and none knew him
but to respect him.
Petitions were in circulation yesterday

We have heard a great deal about the
concert recently given in Anna, by DR.. Par
ker, who lives in that vicinity, and his two
daughters. We are told that the daughters
are entirely self.taught, and that neither
one Of them ever heard professional sing
er in her life, yet their singing and playing
were of a character that drew out round
after round of uproarous applause. The en-
tertainment was given for the benefit of the
poor, and the house was literally jammed
A number Of Cairo people have become 81
enthused by the accounts they have received
of this concert that they express dcterm
inaton to try to persuade Dr. Parker anC
his daughters TO repeat it for the editicatiol
of Cairo audience 1t is the purpose t
give the concert, if the Doctor is agreeable

The crowd that witnessed the lnstalla
ton ceremonies by the X. NJ. K.C., last night
did not get together until about 0 o'clock
and as a consequence, the festivities wer
not brought to a close until after The BUI
LErIN had gone to press. Of the interes,
ing details, therefore, we must speak hear
after. The hall was tastefully and cabol
ately ornamented, the walls being festoone
with evergreens, and embclished wit
glistening spears and battle-axes. The UP
