acceptably.
From the Saline County Democrat we
learn that there is nice little fight going
on between Judge Bell, Of Mt. Carmel,
and Bill Robinson, Of Fairfield, for the
position of railroad commissioner, now oC-
cupied by Mr.. Oberly. Judge Bell seems to
be little ahead.
The human remains which were fished
ashore out of the Ohio river, near the mar.
row gauge freight depot, day before yester-
day, and of which we made mention at the
time, were yesterday examined by Coroner
Fitzgerald who found only the trunk Of
the body the head, arms and legs being
gone-and had it decently inferred near to
where it was fshed ashore.
On Friday before last, the frst dis
patch was sent from MetropoIis-the work
of stretching the wire to that burg having
been completed on that USUALLY consider
ed unlucky) day The office is in the Nc
Cawley house and the operator is hand
some young lady-.a Miss Rebecca Glass.

are twenty five cents for ten words and two
cents for each additional word.
Might before last. about eight O'Clock,
Annie Foglcman, whoresides on Thirteenth
street, between the avenues, left her room
for a few minutes, leaving the door unlock
ed, and when she returned found a small
bureau drawer, withlts contcnts-$l6.jO-
missing. The drawer was soon afterwards
found by Officer Schuckers, near the side

The four o'clock passenger train,
which came IN yesterday morning on the
Cairo and Vincennes railroad, ran into a
wagon that was being driven across the
track near Eighth street by a negro The
wagon was showed off the track by the
cowcatcher without doing any damage
beyond giving the occupant a
bad scare, and causing HIM to make a
desperate leap, which landed him about
twenty feet away from the wagon unhurt.
The Pulaski Patriot says Major
Anderson while returning from Cairo on
the Fowler the other day, came near losing
his gold timepiece. An innocent looking
stranger engaged him in conversation, and,
while talking weather probabilities to him,
was at the same time extracting his watch
from his vest pocket. Bill Mccoy spotted
the would bethel, and, under cover Of his
revolver, made him desist from further cf-
forts to obtain the watch. No attempts
were made to arrest the culprit'
The Eunice Goodrich combination,
appears in this city, at the atheneum, on
the 3Oth and 31st INST. and on January 1st
three nights in succession. Our rcadars
may form some idea of the excellence Of
the troupe by the following comments from
an exchange: yin, at Sampson opera
house, last night, was well received. Miss
Goodrich, as Zlzi, proved to be an emotional
actres, Of great favor, especially in the last
two acts. Her dress in the second act YVES
q splendid one and excited the unqualified
admiration of the ladies, and some Of the
sterner sex. Helen Florence, as Ethel the
cripple, was very fine, besides being pretty.
Evelinc Husson, the old maid, brought
down the house. J.W. Davenport, as the
Crushed Tragedisn, brought in the fun in
chunks Between the acts, Prof J. G.,
Ebcrhart gave some Of the finest violin
playing there has been here in many
month. His Mocking Bird, is worth the
whole admission
Mr.. c. r. Woodward, of the "Noyelty
Iron store was yesterday the recipient Of
a magnificent Christmas present in the
shape of a double seated cutter, handsome
ly painted and gotten up in elegant style
1t was the gift Of Mr.. Woodward's en-
ployes who took this method Of showing
their appreciation of him. A card bearing
the inscription, "Compliments Of the en-
ployes of the Novelty Iron store" was
placed conspiclousy inside the cutter, and
about ten O'Clock yesterday morning a
horse was hltched to in in order TO take il
from the shop Of its maker, j. L. Baker, on
Sixth street, between the avenues, TO the
residence Of Mr.. Woodward, on Tenth
street, but when the horse had proceeded
but short distance, the snow became
clotted under his feet, and he fell down.
In this dilemma several Of the cheerful
givers took the animals place. and pulled
their gift to its destination.
