lities for rain-storm here within the next
day or two increase every hour.
--"There were six deaths in Cairo last
Sunday night according to the News. 1t
seems to us that this is not very favorable
showing for town that claims to be one of
the healthiest in this part of the state.'
- DuQuon Tribune. The above is
mistake. There were not six deaths on Sun
day night There were five deaths, which
occurred during Saturday, Saturday night,
Sunday and Sunday night. Of this num-
Der one, snegro "dled of some cause UNI
known" so said the coroner's jury, which
sat upon him. OF the other four, two were
children and two women-the former had
summer complaint, and one of the latter
had been sick for long time.
None of these victims of
the dread destroyer died of any disease
peculiar to the city, for there is no such
disease here. 1t Is the opinion Of some of
our physicians that the reason these four,
who had for several days been IN a danger
Gus condition, died so suddenly, was the
rapid change in the atmosphere from ex.
IRENE hot to extreme cold, which was &C.
companled by heavy thunder and rain, on
Sunday last. The ihtimstion OF the Trib-
une, that Cairo is not healthy place, is
entirely erroneous
The secretary of the state board of az
ricuture, from correspondents, complies a
statement of the condition of the Illinois
corn crop to July |. He makes the follow.
ing general remarks: The early planted
| corn is doing well, and where not injured
by insects or retarded in growth by drought
in May, will compare well with previous
favorable seasons. A large portion of the
crop was planted late and is small, but is
generally well cultivated, where the exces-
sve rains in June have not prevented. The
stand is very uneven largely the result OF
replanting. In many counties may be seen
fields Of corn in tassel, and in the adjoining
fields the corn has just made its appearance
above ground. The crop in many locali-
ties in close proximity to wheat fields has
been injured by chinch bugs. In sections
of the state where the chnch bugs have
not made their appearance in large num-
bcrs, the corn Ton land prepared for wheat
last fall is much above the general average
both in stand, color aud growth. The III
creased yield Of corn on wheat land will
nearly, If not quite, pay for the expense Of
seeding to wheat last fall.
