16 feet II inches on the gauge. AT
| Louisville it is falling slowly, with s

frozen over at several points above
Cairo, and at st. Louis, where the

Gilbert GThompson, a very wealthy
resident of this city, who was gen
orally supposed to he a widower. died
in the early part of September, be
queathing nearly his entire estate to
his son. who at that time was travelling
in Europe. When the contents OF

Barker. Il sister of Mr. Thompson's
wife. claimed that she WAS legally
welded to Mr. Thompson AMI entitled
To Il dover interest in the estate. In
the Surro.ate's Court to-day Mrs
Barker testified that her sister died in
July. 1854. ami that in SIX weeks at

opposition of his mother. Miss Bark

introduced by him to parties. who's

gate Warren gave Miss Barker Il
standing in court to contest the will.
Should Miss Barker succeed In estab

A smart. IN keeps the only hotel
In the vicinity of the stock yards sat
indianapolis. He recently raised the
price of board. The boarders said
nothing, but resolved to withdraw their
patronage from the bar. The increas-
ed prosperity in..the dining-room was
ruin in the bir-room and the landlor d
found that he was heavy loser.
He was only too glad to restore the
old figures, when everything moved
smoothly. as before. All of which
shows, as has often been asserted,
that well patronized bar is the lar
gest source of income to the hotel man.

the thing has been done with star

What they think of il.

The Dcadwooi Press of the 9th takes
the following sensible view Of the neck

day:
Our information states that the Gus

hanging, but one and all Join in approy-
iIic OF the summary manner IL Hhicl,
Justice was dealt out. VIII Il certain
only terror. and it j. tar Jealing with
such men as these ttnjt frontier towns
should combine fur ,hcir WI protection.
All that can be said of the Custer affair
Is that the county has been saved sever
al hundred dollars and crime ciiectualls
punished, while two souls were suddenly
rushed before their maker, the murder
er and the mur!cred.'
