Jas. Reagan, yesterday, in some manner Tin
explained to us, became detached while
the nurse was standing beneath it with his
little three months old child IN her arms
and as it decended struck the child
on the head. DR.. Sullivan was at
once sent for and found that the child was
stunned, but not otherwise injured. Had
the globe struck the child squarcly on the
head, inste ad Of glancing off, it would have
been instantly killed.
AT the last meeting of the City Cour-
Gil the Illinois Central Railroad Company
presented a petition asking its permission
to lay another track leading, from the main
track to the warehouse recently erected by
the company on Ohio levee, below Fifth
street, and promising to plank it well so
as not to interfere with the passage OF
teams, etc. The petition was referred to
the street committee, which is composed of
Messrs. Patler, Petit, Linegar, Smith and
Howley which held meeting Tuesday
afternoon Tor the purpose of taking the pc
tltion under consideration. Judge Green
was present as consel for the company. He
said, among other things, that the ware
house had been set far enough back upon
the company's property to leave ample
room on its own ground for the construc-
ton of the track referred to, and that the
track would be constantly kept in condi-
ton to render it easily passable. The com
mittee took the matter under consideration
and will report at the next meeting of the
City Council
Circular No. 20, Just issued by the de-
partment of agriculture, reports the condi-
ton of the crops in Alexander county, as
follows; "Corn has made good growth,
and is above an average in condition; the
drouth which has prevailed for some time
is very unfavorable for filling and will re-
duce the prospects for more than an aver
age yield per acre. Fall wheat will not
return quite an average field per acre; the
grain is rather small but plump and sound.
Oats injured by rust; grain light in weight;
the yield per acre is much below an aver
age. Broom corn and sorghum cane nearly
up to an average in condition. Meadows
returned an average yield per acre of hay of
excellent quality, which was generally
saved in good condition. Tobacco promises
well, and cotton is nearly up to an average
in condition. Pastures are rather short,
and not up to average in condition. There
will be over three-fourths of an average
yield Of Irish potatoes and fair crop of
sweet potatoes. Fruit is falling off badly
there will be only medium crop; the
quality only fair. Farm stock is healthy
and in good condition"
The last words which General Haskell
uttered as he shook one of our citizens by the
hand and bid him goodbye were that he
would ever pray for his friend, in Cairo viz
Captain Williams, DR.. Dunning and the
editor of THE BULLETIN. The General wa:
very thoughtful. A small slice of hi,
prayers, while it might do the two gentle
men first nomed no good could do then
no particular harm. Hence we hope the
| General will be true to his word and III
dulge freely in this pastime. Payers
such as he dellvcrs-are sufficient to move
a heavily loaded freight car from off our
crossings, and if they fail to move tn,
hearts of these men, The BULLETIN dis.
claims all responsibility for their condition
after Gabriel blows his trumpet.
We speak from observation wher

do not mention this to their credit or dis
credit, but merely as matter Of fact. o
course, they will, when unobserved, cas-

this aud nothing more. But while this i
so, we deem it our duty to hold up bctor
