Our young folks seem to have begotten
a mania for marrying. We have had we'd
dings one, two and three day tor full
week or more, and many engagements still
remain undisposed of. Among the latest is

Molie Owens, both of Cairo. Downing is
an Industrious, upright and highly esteemed
citizen; and the young lady he has chosen
deserves the provident, thoughtful and
faithful husband, into which "Hence" is
morally certain to resolve himself. The
marriage was celebrated Thursday.

ling cart 1t is purely an individual under
taking, and water will be scattered under
the direction Of those who pay for it. 1t is
not likely that the sprinkling will be ex-
tended beyond the thckly settled business
part of the city. Eighth street from Wash

from Fourth to Tenth street will probably
be kept sprinkled down, which will be
quite as great length of street as single
team can keep moistened.
The finding against Thomas Ross was
tor murder. Although an interval of sew
enteen years seems interminablc, the pris-
oner can greatly shorten it by good behav-
Tor. Ii Ross strictly observes prison dis

seventeen years will be reduced to eleven.
After an imprisonment of five years every
six months counts as year-a fact that is
not generally known. Had the jury aimed
at Ross imprisonment for term of seven
teen years, the verdict would have declared
for twenty -four years.
