probably, secreted himself some where in
the neighborhood, as he was himself too
badly wounded to bear much movement.

In the Wisconsin cyclones, Newfound-
land dogs run about and pick up the little
children that are being blown away. The
Newfoundland dog, it appears, can swim
in a cyclone exactly as if cyclones were full
of water; aud the harder the wind blows,
the more sagacity he takes on.
Preparations for the excursion to Pa

of our good citizens are getting ready to 60.

Mr. Mat Bagby, one of the solid farm
ers and stock rsisers OF Pulaski county, was
in the city Yesterday. The caterpillars
have left nothing of his fine orchards on his
farms near Caledonia but the bare limbs
and twigs-he will not have an apple. His
farming is thorough as his immense fields of
clover testify and his crops will be above
the average, notwithstanding the backward
season.
According to the Atlanta Constitution,
Georgia will produce this season 5000 car
loads of melons, or more than 10000
seperate melons. The price OF melons
ranged in Chicago last year from twenty
eight to twenty cents. Averaging The crop
this year at twenty cents, and putting $50
melons to the car, each car will be worth
$3.50. This will make the crop worth ST.
100000.
Col. Hamilton and Messrs. White and
Trand, of the St. Louis and Cairo railroad,
left yesterday morning for st. Louis. Moth
ing further was done with regard to the
company's intended entrance into the city
and no conference was had, but Col. Hamil-
ton left word that he would be back next
week and from his further remarks it may be
concluded that then full and satisfactory
understanding will probably be arrived at.

the yards, and the steamers Emma Ether
idge and Mississippi will be employed in

Wednesday about $50 p. m. Mr..
Green Fogy, who runs skiff ferry between
this city and East Cairo, picked up the
body of boy or man floating in the Ohio
river near the shore, just below tho wharf

aid was notified and he took charge of the
remains and had them inferred at the Seven
mile graveyard after taking what papers,
etc, were found on them.
