"A hail storm occurred at Ullin night
before last, which caused much damage in
various ways, but chiefly to farm products
A wheat field off one hundred and fifty
acres, belonging to Mr.. James Morris, was
completely destroyed, nearly every stock
being broken off near the ground. Straw
berries were also entirely ruined. The
storm is said to have ragged terriifically for
several hours.
"A strictly business meeting was held
by the temperance people at Reform hall
last evening The vice-president, Geo. s.
Fisher, presided. Chief among the bust
ness transacted was the adoption OF reso-
luton to the effect that all the indebtedness
of the club be Immediately paid. A mo-
ton was also made to give the state tenn
perance alliance permission to meet in the
hall on the fourth Friday in June. The
matter was referred to the proper commit
tee. The attendance was good.
Ice cream, cake, berries and an even
ing's enjoyment for all at Temperance hall,

"A committee of gentlemen were out
yesterday soliciting subscriptions for the
Catholic fair to be held on the 14th instant
They met with much encouragement from
all whom they visited and succeeded in
having about one hundred dollars sub
scribed. There seems to be more
interest manifested now in the
needs of the sisters by the
gentlemen in the Catholic congregations
than ever before, which leaves no doubt
but that sufficient amount of money will
be secured to enable them to complete the
academy.
The indication on top of Ohio levee,
showing the stage of the river, was placed
there by the government tor the benefit of
pilots and river men generally. Wharf
master 8. M. Orr attends to it. 1t tells
what the stage of the river was at eight
o'clock In the morning. Mr.. Orr will try
to induce The government beacon light Of
fcers to place light near the indicator
during the night in such manner as to
enable the figures to be seen from the river
during the night Yesterday morning at
eight o'clock the river was twenty-one and
a half feet; in the evening, at six o'clock,
it was twenty-one feet.
The water craft lying at anchor near
the Kentucky shore is not pile driver,
and is not driving piles as seems
to be believed by some. 1t is the
wrecking boat "Charley HILL" which was
at work all day yesterday at the foot
of the incline of the Chicago, st. Louis &
New Orleans railroad company, on the
Kentucky shore, raising the railroad iron
that sunk there some time ago. Several
cars, loaded with iron, it will be remember
ed, became detached from train while
being drawn up the incline and ran back
over the transfer-boat and dashed into the
river.
yesterday morning when Mr.. c. r.
Stuart rose from good nights rest, he
found that his leggier had been removed
from where he had placed them the night
before. Search through the house failed
to discover them, and hence it was extended
to other parts of the premises. They were
finally found on the ground in the wood
shed, back of the residence, with Mr..
Stuarts pocket-knife and store key laying
on top of them; but about fifty dollars in
money, which was also in one of the pock-
cts of the pants, was gone. Mr. Stuart be.
lieves that the thief, by the use of fishing
rod, drew the pants through the south side
window of the residence and then rifiled |
them at his leisure. There is no clue to the
thief.
The great number Of Improvements
that are going on In all parts of the city
certainly shows that the citizens of Cairo
are not lazy nor slovenly. On nearly every
street in the city some house is being re-
painted, renovated or repaired, new fences,
new porches, new roofs and numberless
other new things are beng made and,
which is very encouraging to
and pleasing even to a disinterested OBJ
server, impressing him with very favora-
BILE opinion of Cairos people. But there
is much of this kind of work to be done
and there ought to be no cessation until
every residence and business house in the
