OF the gospel,
Mr.. H. Meyers wholesale tobacco
store, g. Ohio leyee, was night before last
broken into by thieves. The enhance was
effected by boring the PANEL out Of the
back door and prying the lock from the
inside door which leads from Bross Office
into the store. About six dollars in change
were taken out of the drawer, but beyond
this nothing was missed, No arrests have
been made so far, and we believe there is
no clue to the thieves,
The Holiday Present, by Mr. John ?,
Marnel, will prove big bonanza for the
merchants, who are buying space in it, A
mammoth edition printed on forty pound
book paper will be issued, and Mr.. Marnel
assures us that it viii! be circulated IN a
| judicious manner where it will do the adj
yertisers the most good. The advertise
ments will be intcrsperscd with choice and
select reading matter and the paper will
present neat appearance with fine calan-
der OF the new year ornamcntmg the first
page.
In this quarter we fail to see any par
ticular boom Of the Grant movement.
Grant is probably the first choice Of one
tenth of the Republicans here for president.
Yet, but few have any serious objections to
him, except that he has already had two
terms and there Is II general impression that
this is enough, and some other good men
Republican party should have a chance.
If the General could be induced to visit
Cairo it would OF course, materially in
crease the boom here.
Col. Lowry is off to Peoria where
protracted temperance meeting is being
held, and his absence will probably be of
a weeks duration The temperance people
of that burg were extremely anxious that
ne be.prescnt at their protracted meeting
and make the opening address, and having
his heart in the temperance work the
Colonel responded to the urgent call He
Is man OF brilliant mind and irresistible
cloquence, and that the citizens of Peoria
will be delighted with him personally and
his efforts, we have no reason to doubt.
On Twentieth street, between Wash
lngton avenue and Popular streets, half
stands, half lays an old frame structure,
which is too rickety to be inhabited and
dangerous to the adjoining buildings. The
citizens of that street vino care for the
appearance thereof should petition the
council to have the structure declared
nuisance and have it torn down. Or, per-
haps, if the council has the authority, it
would not be amiss should that august
body interest itself in the appearance of
the street without being pctitoncd 50 to
do.
The organization Of minstrel troupe
is now being effected by some of our young
men with the intention Of giving per-
Torrance at the Athcncum on Christmas
night the proceeds to be donated to the X.
N, K. c. The object for which the per
Torrance will be given is one deserving Of
success and we hope our citizens will ex
tend the boys the proper encouragement,
Since the treasury of the Krcw is in need
eff replenishing, perhaps no better mode to
accomplish the desired and, could be sug-
gestc, than that adopted by these young
men. The Experimentation will be com

Quite a number Of complaints have
