force in such town without change. A
special town meeting was provided in the
law to be held in August this year, as the
road taxes in each town are by law extend
Cd by the county board at their meeting in
September; so, unless the people of town
shall take vote on the subject in August,
or before such September meeting of the
county board, and vote otherwise, they
would be obliged to pay their road taxes
assessed for this year in money.
--Paducah has bad case of the "bluing
peddler," and the News says "if this thing
is kept up much longer the Cairo folks
need not be alarmed if some of these fine
mornings the Ohio river in front of their
city is filled with the mangled corses of
defunct peddlers. The News is very
kind to give US warming but, really, it was
not at all necessary under the circumstan-
ces A squad of live, healthy bluing ped
ders would be dreaded by the people here,
and would be met at the outskirts Of the
city by the Halliday Guards and regi-
ment of special police But the News as
sures us that the peddlcrs will be "man-
| ged corses," and "defunct y such would be
harmless and a whole river full OF them, so
far from striking terror to the heart of the
average Caroite, would fill his noble soul
with delight.
The important civil case to which Mr..
II. A. Harmon and negro named Young
we're parties and, which was begun before
Justice Robinson Saturday, was concluded
last evening Mr. Harmon sued Young for
possession of a lot which he had bought
from Mr.. Fitzgerald and which Mr.. +. had
bought at mortgage sale Young set up
the lot to Harmon because it was
understood that Harmon was to ad-
vance the money and buy the lot in Youngs
wife's name. Instead Of this Harmon
bought the lot in his own name and
Young having failed or refused to pay back
the money advanced by Harmon, the latter
seeks to take possession of the lot. Han
mons evidence denied the existence Of the
understanding above referred to- The de-
PENDANT was represented by Messrs. Mulkey
and Warder, and the plaintiff by Mr.. Geo.
W. Hendricks. 1t was jury trial and the
verdict was for the defendant.
Sunday evening the body Of white
man was pulled ont of the river near the
foot of Fourth street. Coroner Fitzgerald
was notified and an inquest resulted in the
verdict that deceased came to his death by
drowning and that his identity was my
stery to the jury. The body was buried in
the seven-mile grave yard yesterday morn
ing at the county's expense. The suppose
ton is that the body was that of the man
who jumped over board from the steamer
Vicksburg Friday night, when caught in
the act of stealing, by the Waterman. The
body had very evidently been in the water
but a short time. 1t was attired in dark
pants and vest, over-shirt with figures of
dogs upon it, one shoe, and socks Of uucer-
certain color. In one of his pockets were
found several meal tickets from the Sher-
man house and less than dollar in money.
No one who saw the body recognized it,but
it is believed by some, among them several
of the officers, that it was that of a river
