CIRCUIT COURT.

The case of Catharine J. Fisher vs.. Ellen
and Patrick Dugan, to which reference was
made in Wednesdays BULLETIN, occupied
all the time of the court on that day. The
case was given to the jury in the evening,
and the jury disagreed. The amount of
money value involved was probably about
thirty-ive dollars, and it occupied about a
day and a half of the courts time.
Yesterday morning several motions were
argued, and the case of John McNulty vs..
Wheeler and Saup was given further atten-
ton. 1t will be remembered that in this
case the jury had found a verdict in favor
of plaintiff for eleven hundred and forty
dollars, for goods illegally levied upon by
the defendants, the attorneys for the defense
had made motion for new trial and the
court had manifested a willingness to grant
anew trial unless plaintiff would enter re-.
mttatur of two hundred dollars. Counsel
for plaintiff yesterday morning announced
that no remittatur would be given and
court granted defendants new trial.
In the mandamus case of Justus Cum
ningham VS.. the City Council ofthe City of
Cairo, counsel for the defense entered a de-
murer, which will probably be decided
upon this morning.
Next was the case ofNWiliam Porter vs..
Smith Bros, involving the rights of owner
ship of a wagon held by defendants as Sc
curity for the sum Of twenty-five dollars in
merchandise sold to plaintiff. The case
was given to the jury last night with in
structons to render sealed verdict. Pend
ing the consideration of this case by the
FURY, court adjourned.

Cairo is q city of fourteen thousand in
habitants, comprising social circles of cul-
tured in art music and literature with pas
sionate taste for elevating amusement, of
which good music is, of course, always
prominent feature, and yet Cairo is with
out all organized band of good musicians
And where is the reason for this deplorable
fact to be iound9 1t is, as before intimated,
not because there is no demand for good
string and horn music in the city; there is
an almost continual demand for it. Social
entertainments and balls, both great and
small, public and private, are the order of
the day and night in Cairo at this season
Of the year, and at all Of them good music
is desired-is a necessity, in fact. In most
cases music is obtained, but it is nearly al.
ways either band gotten up for the &C.
casion, or it isa band from st. Louis,
brought here at cost of hundred dollars
or more, as was the case at the
the opening performances of the new
opera house. Nor can this lack of good
string band he attributed to lack of must
cal talent in the city, for the city has been
prolific in its production fgood musicians.
There hosts of young men in the
city who have made music a
practical study Of many years of their lives,
who are naturally gifted in
this particular-who are splendid
performers on either the violin, drum or
horn Many of these young men have been
members Of bands, havespent much money
in possessing themselves of fine instruments
and becoming proficient in their use; they
have spent much time in attending the
meetings Of bands for practice during
former years and during the summer
months; but with the approach of the
amusement season they neglected the meet
ings and allowed the organizations to dis
band. Mr. Harry Walkers efforts to or.
ganize and maintain good cornet band,
which succeeded so admirably for while,
was also nipped by an unexpected and un-
fair course on the part of the band, and
though he is again striving to bring to-
gether another group of artists like Goss
and Lemons, it will probably be some time
before he succeeds. There ought to be a
first class organization of violin and cornet
players-several Of each of them, even
would find it profitable at least during the
fall and winter months.

The subjoned item Of news appears
in the Paducah Enterprise. 1t seems
that the secret which had been so success
fully kept from the Cairo friends of the
"happy couple" that is to be, has escaped
after all and finds its way at last into the
Cairo press, only by a somewhat circuiteous
route. Why young people should be so
cpnfoundedly secretive about matters of
this kind is more than we can tell; but it
may be, that, at some time in the distant
future, experience will enlighten us some
what upon this point. Here's the item !:

measure and exercising the greatest care in
pointing out the errors made by the singers
until all went smoothly and entirely to his
satisfaction.
After recess of ten min
utes had been taken, Mr.. w. f.
Mckee addressed the convention upen the
question of continuing the convention and
the exercises during next week. He favor
cd it because he thought that the present
weeks experience service chiefly to point
out the needs of the singers, and he believ-
ed that next weeks exercises would prove
much more profitable to the singers than
the pres ent had done. He was followed by
Prof. Sherwin, who endorsed what Mr..
Mckee had said, and continuing, said that,
though important business called him home,
he could make arrangements to remain
another week if the convention would
unanimously express such desire. A vote
was aiken and tin question was lost, as
only about two thirds expressed themselves
in favor of it.
Mr.. Mckee had made reference in his re-
marks to something which had "come to
his ears" in the form of a declaration by one
member of the convention, that number

the night of the concert. He said that il
would be his duty, as manager of the con-
cert, if there should be any noticeable
shrinkage in the number Of singers, 10 in
form the audience of the reason why. There
will, therefore, be no deserters, and the
full eighty or more singers will take part in

the republican side Of the house that our
republican constituents of Lower Egypt
ought to have the benefit Of this wise rule.
We proceeded by telling the house that the
republicans "down our way could not read

know the English, German, French or any

The,tral of Mr. T. s. Damron came of
before Justice j. II. Robinson yesterday
afternoon. But one witness, the man Jones,
who played the part of an innocent victim
of professional black leg, was pres
ent, and his testimony completely vim
dicated Mr.. Damron, and convicted him
self no only of being about as great a
falsifer as can exist outside of hades, bat
of being himself guilty of what he charged
Damron with. His testimony cor,
roborated Damron's in every particular,
and showed that he, Jones, was the de-
coyer, and that he sought to make Dam
ron the victim; but that, after playing a
whole day and night, he came out one
hundred and five dollars behind. OF
course, Damron was acquitted.

Ice and snow have been interfering very
seriously for several days past with the
many railroads, running into and out of

sengers have been seriously Inconvenience
But high water seems to be doing more
damage than ice and snow have done, at
least to the Chicago, st. Louis and New
Orleans r. r. which has for several days past
been unable to reach New Orleans, because
the water is over its tracks below Jackson.
In consequence of this, passengers starting
by that route from here for New Orleans or
any city between Jackson and New Or
leans, have been compelled to change cars
at Jackson, taking the Mobile & Ohio rail
road at that point and continuing on to
their destination. In this wsy eighty-nine
passengers changed on Wednesday and
thirty-nine yesterday from a single train,
which shows that the road is doing a good
passenger business, anyway.
