not Unconscious, recognizing every.
body she saw, but complained Of
n pam in the neck and back, which, to Judge
from her nervous clutching at the air and a
contracting Of the muscles of her face, must
have been terrible. A number Of persons
sat up with her last night, aud 1t is to be
hoped that she is much improved to-day.
This morning there appears in the an.
nounccment column of THE BULLETIN the
name of Mr.. William +. Hendricks as a
candidate for reelection to the Office of
city attorney He has filled the Office for
one term to the best of his ability, no
doubt, and he asks the people to say at the
next city election whether or not his efforts
have met their approval. He is young
Der ofvcry important cases to manage dur
ing his first term OF office, in which he snow
ed himself to be thoroughly vcrsed in law
and to possess judgment and tact in no
small degree. If Mr. Hendricks is re.eect.

well as any other man that is likely TO pre-
sent himself, but he would, by reason of
the experience gained in his first term be
able to do better than most any body else.

ON Sunday night, about eleven O'Clock,
beautiful sight was enjoyed by all who
happened to be out on our streets The |
steamer City Of GreenvIlle was slowly |
moving up along the Ohio river bank from
the lower wharf boats to the Illinois Cen
trail wharf boat she is furnished with two
electric lIghts--One OF which, Just in front
of her cabin, WAS turned on and the bril-
liant rays shot out INTO the inky sky and
over the house tops of the city like the tail
OF meteor which had come with electri
speed from somewhere IN the western
armament and lodged IN the Ohio river,
leaving its fiery path visible for mile or
luolc' Dut We arc H"l uoN III scullHltulhl
mood, and hence will conclude by saying
that the old craft took lot of chairs
aboard while the mate cursed with the
volubiity of master in that art and then
left Cairo to get what comfort it could out
of its fifty or a hundred little old gas street

being kept in close surveillance IN his home,

an axe forced an entrance, and attempted TO
