General Sickles spent four months in
Europe, during which time his residence
in New York was closed, notwithstanding
which fact the Manhattan gas light compa-
ny sent in bill for one thousand feet per
month, and he was compelled to procure
an injunction 70 prevent the removal of the
meter.
Coal consumers in Cincinnati are pay
ing seventeen cents per bushel for Pittsburg
coal, which costs seven cents on barge at
Pittsburg, whilst the cost of the same art
icle at Louisville, $50 miles farther from
the source of supply, is considerably less.
This looks very much like unjust discrm-
ination.
Mount Carmel Register: "To show
the kind of corn that the Wabash bottoms
produce even in droughty season, we will
state that a few days ago Michael William
brought twelve ears of corn from farm
in the Neck, which averaged pound and a
quarter each in weight, the twelve weigh
ing sixteen pounds.
President Arthur's message, it is said,
will be short. Considering the practical
unimportance of such documents, it was
wise to make it brief. These messages,
though widely published, are but little
read, and rarely, if ever, form the basis for
legislative action Committees of congress
are appointed to appoint the recommends
tons, and there the matter ends.

The Wabash and White rivers which
have been flooding the bottom lands for
the past ten days, came to stand, Sunday,
and are now slowly rcceding. They were
not as high by some three feet as they were
during the August flood of 1875. Con-
siderable damage has been done to corn in
the low lands, and some stock has also no
doubt been lost. Fences have suffered to Il
great extent. Beyond these losses, we hear
of no other damages.
The temperance people turned out
well to the meeting at the Reform hall last
night. The hall was we'll filled with
an intelligent audience, but there was some
disappointment at tn, failure of both Rev.
Allyn and Mr.. Flowers, of Paducah, to be
present to deliver the promised speech.
However, several home gentlemen served as
substitutes and spoke we'll though briefly.
Among the speakers were Messrs. NJ.
yesterday, George s. Fisher and George 4.
Hendricks. Some general business was
transacted and letter from Mr.. Flowers,
stating that hc would DO here without fail
to address the club at its next regular
meeting, was read. The meeting ad
ourned with song.
