THERE seems to be a disposition on the
part Of the friends and relatives of the re-
naming yellow fever dead, buried outside
the Mississippi levee, to lag in their duty
to the departed. As many as took any in
terest or had necessary funds to cxhume
md re-bury have done so; and while the
weather continues cold and parties stand
ready to do the work reasonably, we would
admonish all interested not to let this cold
snap pass. If those who remain there are
to be left where buried on account Of neglect
or insutlicisncy Of money, then we stand
ready and willing to subscrb, our proper.
ton towards having them taken care of.

very sharp lookout was kept all day yes

mttcd in Cairo within week. Isn't il
about time to shoot somebody's With a
force Of only four watcamen it is not ex-
pect d that a close surveillance is exercised
over all the houses in the city, and, as a

In the confusion, hurry, etc, incident
to the holidays, the ball held by the Rough

The animal died few minutes after it Was
found; but it was thought that the wou2l
had been inflicted several hours before, as
portion of the inteStincs bore marks that in
dicatei that they had been trai!ed over the
ground. The hesrtless bastard who in
iiicted the injury is unfit for association with
either men or brutcs, and should be penned
