The five or six cows killed or injured
near Goose pond bya Wabash train We'd
nesday all belonged to parties in this city,
and we're nearly all valuable animals So
| far one has been identified by Mr.. John Bar
nv, up town. As water stands on either side
of the railroad embankment, the cows
sought refuge on top Of the track and were
unable to get out Of the way to avoid rap
idly approaching train. Under such cir
cumstances it is cruel, not to say criminal,
for an engineer to dash in among the drove
of frightened animals and kill or MAIN
them ALL Several citizens who miss cows,
visited the scene of the massacre yesterday
and found some of them dead and others
lying near the track IN great agony

rotary of DR.. j. II. Rauch, received yester-

tons of citizens asking a cnangc in the To-
cations of the marine service here. 1t states

the streets without any visible means of

| Officer Haz. Martin gave him place to
stay and something to eat Thursday night
and Yesterday, and sent him to DR.. Wood
Yesterday to have his wounds dressed. But
the DIR. refused to do this, although the
young man is in every way fit subject
for treatment at county expense, and the
county poor fund for this fiscal year has not
yet been exhausted
"A charitable way of accounting for the
smallness of the audience at Hartman's hall
Thursday night is to assume that the good
people Of Cairo do not know exactly what a
| public rehearsal" by musical organiza
ton is. The common belief probably is
that it is only ali ordinary meeting for prac.
tce by the society to which the public is
graciously admitted at the rate Of twenty
tive cents per head. This is not true. A
public rehearsal is generally one of the fin
est musical exhibitions given, to which or
dinarily, in large cities, only select audi
ence is invited. When given by societies of
acknowledged superior talent, such as the
Cairo Choral society is, then it is usually
considered great privilege to be entitled
to seat in the auditorium at all. The
Choral society spent much time and effort
in preparing for the grand entertainment Of
Thursday night; it succeeded beyond its
own and the expectations the select few
present; it should have met with brilliant
ovation from the Cairo public.
A small drove of cattle which arrived
from Missouri on the Three States yester.
day, was the subject Of much interest from
