bttoot NOlA,
Just in time for the census of
1850, and it is beautiful girl, the pic
ture of its mother. Mr.. L. Morris, of
the cheap blue store, is the happiest
man in town.
Marriage licenses issued yester-
day were to VIM. w. Doughty and
Miss Pamela Easley; Joseph Quanby
and Miss Susannah Bapp, and four
pair of colored people.
After a heavy drag for the past
ten days, cotton has started on an
other upward boom, the advance
abroad yesterday and to-day being I'd,
or about one-fourth of a cent a pound.
ALI the paraphernalia of the of
fetal end Of the Taxing district has
been removed from the court house to
the Planters insurance building. The
legislative council holds its meetings
at the old room in the court house.
DR.. A. L. Kimbro, one of cur
popular old.time physicians, has re-
moved his Office Ono. 1874 Main street,
at which place his friends and patrons
can find him in future. He is one of
our best physicians and a very clever
gentleman.
The river rose scant two inches
for the "A hours ending at noon yes
terday, not ten inches as was unfortu-
nately misprinted on yesterday after
noon. Errors of this character at a
iuncture so critical as the present, are
exceedingly worrying.
There is an order against using the
Nieolson pavement blocks for fuel,
yet we understand that the colored
people on DeSotO street are using all
these rotten blocks they can get hold
Of. Others come there with sacls
and carry them off a distance.
The street railway managers ex-
press willingness to cooperate with
the authorities in repairing the streets.
They also say hat as soon as the
weather settles their routes will be
fixed in good shape, where no repairs
or improvements are contemplated by.I
the city.
The town of Germantown, situa.
ted twenty miles east of this, has APP
piled to the secretary of state for a
charter to let them have a mayor, al
dermen and the usual privileges at
taching to the same. 1t is to be hoped
their experience will be less sad than
ours in the same line.
The level of the river to-day stood
80 feet and 60 100 Of an inch above
low water mark, and 2 feet 1900
below extreme high water mark.
The difference between noon to-day
and noon yesterday is barely percepti-
BILE. The fall at Cairo yesterday was
6 inches, and total during 'he past
s days about Al feet.
The election for magistrate in the
Fifth civil district progresses very
quietly to day. The candidates are
Thos. MoGatt, W. a. McCloy, D.
Pante, JnO. D. Cox, and Green P.
Foute. From appearances, the voting
strength ran at noon in accordance
with the range Of the names.
Slick Jimmie Dooner, who played
smart in McCloy' tax collecting Office,
will escape prosecution, because none
here care to incur the expense of
his way back and aiding in
sending him to the pe%nitentiary. In
the mean time several parties are
something out, and have only bogus
license paper with McCloy's name
thereto, to show for it.
"A verdict Of guilty of assault was
rendered this forenoon by the jury in
the Kredel case, tried before Judge
Horrigan, of the criminal court. The
penalty attaching to the o%ffense is not
over twelve months Imprisonment and
fifty dollars fine; but it may be made
less at the courts discretion. The
will be promulgated between
now and Saturday.
