gains. STUART,
Mr.. Joseph Novel;, as we yesterday
stated he would, died. His limb was so
horribly crushed that amputation near the
body was fonnd necessary and, intiamma'
ton setting in, caused his death. He was a
young man twenty-nine years of age; was
married and has been resident OF this
city for only three months. His death oc-
Cured yesterday morning at $50 o'clock.
The most independent men in Cairo
now are the woodhaulers. In spite of the
disagreeable weather, they stand with their
hands in their pocket, curl of sclt-satis-
faction on their upper lips, and manifest
superlative contempt for the individual! who
thinks their load of halt-hidden rotten
limbs isn't worth as much as a good acre of
woodland.

The wedding of Mr.. Frank Gallagher
of this city and Miss Fannie Rabbe OF Pad
ucah, will be one of the most brilliant at
fairs of its kind that ever occurred
in this part OF the country. All
parties concerned will doubtless spare Meth
cr pains nor money to make it so, and there
is no doubt that it will be longremembered
by the people of Paducah, where the we'd
ding will take place on the l4th inst.

ment on the Levee; but he cannot now 10
sure employment to any more and has

Edison asserts that the electricity requi-
site to supply one burner during the night,
will, during the day furnish sufficient mo-
tive power to run a sewing machine, and all
at an expense of about four cents for the
twenty four hours. A very
readable article appears in an
other column this morning on the electric
light. His exhibitions promised at Christ
mas and since have proven successful, the
lights burning continuously without any
apparent diminution in their luminosity.
Remember the sale of the +. F. Davis
property next Tuesday This certainly Is
the best paying investment offered for a
long time. Four thousand invested in four
per cent bonds would bring one hundred
and sixty dollars, while like amount in
vested in this property would net its owner,
clear of expenses, about eight hundred per
annum. This property has brought an an
nual actual gross income OF nine hundred
and sixty dollars, and that during the dull
est time in our history.
The theory of rain has broken out in a
new phase. In one OF our exchanges, a
Col. Thompson. (THE BULLETIN has not
the honor of the Colonel's acquaintance
reviews and explains the theory that rail-
roads and their operations are among the
greatest sources OF increased rainfall in the
countries reported arid; and expresses the
opinion that these powerful artificial con-
ductorS have already changed the climate
