The sipe water took tumble yester-
day and the night before which could
be noticed in all parts Of the city, but more
particularly in the vicinity OF the sewers.
Near the Fourth street sewer the water
had fallen fully three and a half inches dur
ing the twenty four hours ending at about
twelve o'clock yesterday, in other portions
of the city Il fell on an average of one and
a half inches during the same period of
time. As stated in yesterdays BULLETIN
the Cincinnati and Louisville rises will not
effect this point TO an extent to necessitate
the closing of the sewers, or to even cause
any material check in the rapidity with
which the sipe water is making Its exit
through them. It's probable that all the
sewers will be opened Sunday or Monday.
--Paducah News, Thursday: "This
forenoon the old Juuy residence, out on
the Mayfeld road opposite the fair grounds,
together with barn which stood about
sixty-fve feet of, was burned to the ground
The house was occupied by colored family
who were caring for it, and they lost nearly
all of their effects At the time OF the FIRE
all the family but an old man were out in
the field. The fire started in the kitchen
roof, and was very likely caused by defec-
tive fiue. The house burned belonged to
Mr. NJ. o. Juny, and was good two-story
building, worth about $1,000. 1t it was
insured the fact could mot be learned by
diligent inquiry. Mr.. Juny, the owner is
in Cairo" Mr.. Juny will have the sympa-
thy of his Cairo friends Of whom there are
not few.
The many patrons of the popular dry
goods house of j. Burger will be interested
in the fact that Mr. Samuel Burger, who
went east some days ago for the purpose of
purchasing line of spring and summer
goods, met with unprecedented success
while there, and has returned home to await
and arrange for the arrival of his goods.
He found the eastern houses crowded with
we'll assorted, magnificent stocks; he visited
all the principal emporiums and chose the
best and the handsomest from all the grand
array, which he was amply able to do by
reason of his long experience in the dry
goods business. Because of the uncertain
condition of things at home, he ordered
that the goods be placed in readiness for
shipment and held for further orders; but
now they are on their way here, and axe
expected 10 arrive soon. 1t would be we'll,
therefore, if persons desiring to make pur-
chases of anything in the dry goods line,
would wait to examine Mr.. Burgers ele-
CANT new stock. 1t.
When the steamer Three States landed
at Wickliffe last Sunday afternoon about
three o'clock. with colors flying, brass band
playing and crowded with gay company
OF Cairoites, the people OF that little burg
we're engaged in devotional services in the
little church Of the place; the preacher oc.
cupied the pulpit and was exhorting them
in the usual way, and they we're no doubt
deeply interested in the discourse and
would, under ordinary circumstances, have
remained quietly in their seats for hours.
But brass band was not an ordinary cir
cumstance the first clarion note which
overwhelmingly the hills and gulches Of
the little town, SGT the hearts of the little
congregation to beating wildly, sent the
blood foaming through their vains, sent
their devotion scsmpering away, and
brought them all out to the river bank, fol-
lowed at some distance by the smiling
preacher, who was not at all displeased at
being worsted, in fair contest for the a.
tention Of the people, by Cairo brass
band. ~
