A party of young folks, ranging in age
perhaps from four to ten years, gathered al
the residence Of Mrs. Wood Rittenhouss
yesterday afternoon, in honor of the birth
day of little Robin Rttenhouse, who was
entering his fourth year, Not less than
fifty little boys and girls were present, who
made the walls of the elegant residence, on
the corner Of Seventh and Walnut streets,
resound with the music of their laughter
and song The festivities lasted till late,
but the fun did not diminish TO the last,
and all present will not doubt long re-

Der of illegal votes were pollcd by the re.
publicans in this city on Tuesday last. The
last discovery is that Il man, who took up

had been warned not to do so 10y repub-
iCans az we'll Us democrats. OF course, his
vote was challenged, but he swore that he
would vote come what may and he did
vote. Although he admitted that he had
not been in the precinct long enough TO

An enterprise OF some importance 10
Cairo is in course of completion in Ken
lucky. We refer to the county road that
is being built from East Caro- to liinkle-
Vile The road bed is finished, and will
now be grayeled for which purpose the ma
teral has already been secured. 4 few
bridges are to be built, and then the road
will be ready for use. Our merchants ap.
preciate the importance 10 them OF the
enterprise and some of them have contri.
buted literally toward its accomplishment.
When completed the road will certainly
have a favorable influence upon Cairo's
business interests and will amply repay
our merchants for their efforts TO complete
it. Money spent in that way is "Iike. bread
cast upon the waters" etc.

who had been prevented from attending
their supper on the previous evening, be-

description is steadily and most alarmingly
increasing. Not day passes that we are
not shocked by the recital of some atroc-
ious deed All good citizens deplore this
state of affairs, as well as that laNty Of
legal execution which permits its existence.
Justice, sleek. fat and INDECENT sits clothed
IN righteous crminc, while red-handcd muir
dercrs take the lives of their icllow.uen in
broad, open day. This disregard Of law by
criminals aud looscncss in its execution by

take advantage Of it. Walking over to
