The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1879-01-12

this afternoon, and the body of Mrs. Shcl-
bian to Villa Ridge. The bottles of Cocn,
John Bchohincs and Of party Unknown,
will be taken to the Seven Mile grave yard
Tomorrow This will leave but few bodies
remaining.
The City Council will hold i,s regular
"pow-wow" next Tuesday evening The
yellow fever claims will be considered
again, and as there seems to be no disposl-
ton to back down ON either side, quite Il
warm session is anticipated. Unless six
members favor the allowance Of the claims
they cannot be paid. As the usual attend
ancc is no more than bare quorum, and
as the members who oppose the payment of
the claims are always in their seats, il is
scarcely probable that the claims will go
through" until there is u full meeting.
The woods and cornfeds along the
line of the Illinois Central from Cairo 10
Carbondalc are alive with rabbits. They
were never before known to he so numerous,
They are so thick, in fact, that no necessity
exists for mamma to buy rabbit skin, to
wrap n baby -buntin in, as almost any of
the boys can step out in the back yard, and
in few minutes knock over a dozen of
them. At one of the ncighboring railroad
stations the other day, Lew Holland caught
sixteen rabbits from one brush pile, and
ncighboring nurscYman killed one hundred
and two that had been sampling his intan..
tile apple trees, 1t has come to pass fora
verify, now, that rabbits are not worth the
powder and shot required to Kill them.
The editor Of THE BULLETIN would 80 hunt
inc, but he has no iour-horse wagon in
which to bring his game home.
Rather novel means for rcplcnishing
the church treasury has been adopted 10y
the gentlemen members Of the Presbyterian
congregation, as will be seen by anoticc to
which we give place in another column.
They propose to hold "pound party on
Thursday evening next at the rooms of Mr..
Hyslop. Each person attending is expect
ed to bring one pound of something, 81
curely wrapped 50 that its character can
not be determined by outside appearances.
Some of the packages will, Of course, be
valuable; but some Of them are likely TO be
cheats. The sale of the packages 10 the
highest bidder, will occasion the fun. Many
purchasers will ret bargains Others will get
what they don't want. while still Others will
laughed at. That very respects
bic sum of money will be raised, by the
means proposed may be set down Gsaccr-
tainty.
DR.. Marcan comes to the front again
this morning, and rebuids the breast-Norks
about him that Colonel Wood demolished,
and adds considerable to their strength and
power of resistance. Whether the Colonel
will bring forward his scigc runs and as,ai
the Doctors works again, or permit him to
"hold the fort" he has erected for himself,
we are not prepared to say. The contest is
not without interest to orr readers. and So
long as it remains un,mirchcd by PERSONAL
ties, and restricts itself to a use Of a reason
able amount Of space we have no objection
to its continuance We Shall insist upon
/ the right, however, to exclude from our
columns any language that would prove
personally offensive. The liability and
duty of the city 10 pay the claims in qucS
ton, is u Legitimate subject for discussion
and, as what the city may do in this case
may stand as a precedent in the future, ii is
well that the pros and cons of the issue be
made public,
No Young man in this grand division
has more friends or warmer ones, than
Judge Wall of DuQuoin, That fact is wei
attcstcd in the movement set on foot somt
time ago to bring him forward as Il candi
date for thc supreme bench, to succeed tn
, lamcnted BrccSr. Being q warm friend anc
supporter of Judge Mulkcy, and withaI
young enough to wait awhile, hc dcclincC
Il candidacy, ndwill remain where he is
on the bench Of his circuit Referring tC
thi, matter, the editor Of the joncsboro Ga
zcttc says that Judge Mulkcy has u lcttc
from Judge WALL declining to be candi
date for Judge Of the Supreme Court, an'
plcdging cordial support 10 Judge NluI
key. 1t is, as far as we can learn, the un
animous opinion Of the gentlemen of lin
bar that the eminent qualifications Of Judg
Mulkey for the Supreme bench will plac
him in that position with very little oppo
stion--which will be very fattcring en-
