According to DR.. Frank X. HamIIlon'
who was here to consult with the other
musicians the other day, it is either too
earIy or too late now to search for the ball.
He saws Immediately after wound
leo NAV be amputated. III it is not ampu'
tafed then it is the rule OF surgeons to put
off the amputation as long as possible. The
bullet should not now be searched for. In
a month or two, when an abscfss is formed,
the surgeon will then know where the bull
let is. aud may cut it out with comparatively
little danger. To attempt to remove 1t now
would be contrary to all rules OF surgery"

HoWGATE,S CASE.
The Question Of Bail Considc,

To-day, at p. M, the case of Capt. Henry
sioner Bundy on the continued motion of
his admission TO bail. At the hour named
Capt. HOwgate appeared, and was in q more
feeble condition than on the first examina-
ton. Mcssrs. Il. G. Ingersoll, Jeremiah
Wilson and Judge Cuppy appeared
as his counsel, and Mr.. William A.
Cook was on hand for the Government.
Without entering into any discussion of the
amount of bail, the accused ut once,
through his counsel, offered bail in the sum
of 100000, offering q number of parties as
bail. They were all put through u course
of sprouts, so to speak ,as to their liability,
Billy Cook supervising the operation, and
were compelled to produce their tax re-
ceipts, &c.
After the examination into the property
of Mr.. VIM. w. Mccullough and VIM. b.
Moses, offered as bondsmen, Col. Cook, for
the Government, said he had no objection to
offer us to their proper liability. Mr.. N.
Anderson was then examined as to his
liability. Col. Cook said that he wanted
some time to look over the statements that
these proposed bondsmen had made in re-
lation to their property, and the case was
adjourned until 2p. IN. Monday next.
Capt HOwgate was then relegated to the
custody of the marshal, and drove away
with Deputy Marshal Williams in hack
for his residence.
Capt. Howgate, we understand, has as
signed all his property to Messrs. Fitch &
Fox, as trustees, to secure the bondsmcn.

U. Canal Blockade.
The blockade on the fourteen-mile level
is about being cleared. Yesterday boats
were reported to be slowly moving out, but
it will take some time for them all to clear.
1t was also reported that there were still
number of boats lying ut Dam No. 9, and
there was also rumor that the leak in the
dam had not been permanently stopped.
The result of the blockade has been q
scarcity of light boats at Cumberland,
which will increase during the next few
days. A rise in the river Is earnestly wished
for by canal people.
The leak at Dam No. has been repaired,
and the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Is now
in good order, although the water is so low
that boats fully loaded cannot pass certain
points.

Cincinnati is threatened with water
famine. The average daily consumption
of water is 100000 gallons, or some
100000 in excess of the capacity Of the
pumps Another month Of excessively
warm weather would, it is believed, reduce
the water supply to such an
extent as to render famine almost
inevitable. The only remedy for this con-
dition of affairs is the erection of more ex-
tensive works, which cannot possibly be
completed, even if undertaken at once, for
several years. During the late musical
festival at the Paris Of America" it will
be recollected, according to the local press
reports. that the "rush for beer between the
acts was simply tremendous. AS Cincin-
natl has the reputation Of furnishing fair
quality of that beverage, 1t is to be pre-
sumed that the rush for it will, in the
event of a limited water supply, be even
greater than it was during the great mu-
steal demonstration.
