"A bout ten teams and the necessary
number of men were put to work on the
city's levee yesterday to repair the abrasous
caused by the late series of floods. 1t will
take few days work to do this when the
le7ee will be in as fine condition as before
the water touched it and bo ready to re-
ceive its coating of Bermuda grass.
Says the Golden Sentinel, there are no
peach buds to be found. The injuries to
the trees, however, are generally bel eyed
now to be less than was expected The
ends of twigs of last years growth are dead
and shreveled, and the almost entire wood
OF moderate sized limbs is slightly tingel
with yellowish cast. Apparently there is
slight circulation Of sap through the az
fectcd part. This appears to be the CON
diton hcreabcuts.
The man who was employed by Chief
Myers Thursday to bury dead mule that
had tlohted ashore near the Mississippi
Levee, dug a hole twelve feet long, six feet
wide and four feet deep, right in the slope
of the levee only six or eight feet from the
top, threw the remains into it and covered
them up. Col. Taylor learned of this yes
terday and took legal steps to have the
carcas removed, and the damage to the
levee repaired. The demand was promptly
complied with. The Chief had the carcas
disinterred aud burned, and the slope of
the eyee restored. All Of which is well.

week, arrived in time to preach to large
and attractive congregation last evening.
One person went forward for prayers, one

Hogs are said to have made some very
serious attacks upon the old Mississippi
levee in various places We have it from
Alderman McIIale that dozens of them
have been at work at as many different
places, roofing industriously and with an
effect that might prove dangerous in a,fOod,
in the outer slope of the levee or at the
base He has caught them hard at work in
cavities out Of which only their tails pro-
truded, and they had actually dug away
some of the rock revetment and penetrated
the ground to the depth Of several feet un-
der this in pursuit of their favorte food,
worms. Our levees must be protected
against these ravagers and the sooner the
better.
Although this judicis district is De-
mocratic by majority of about ten thou
sand, yet the Republicans, unterrifed, have
nominated can iidates for both appellate
and supreme court cerkshps. They dis
pensed with the formality of a convention:
the delegates from Southern Illinois TO the
state convention met and nominated Mr..
Charles Becker, of St. Clair county, as can
didate for the appellate clerkship, and Mr..
W. j. Reid, of Bond county, for the supreme
court clerkship. Both gentlemen will now

out even the shadow Of a chance for sue

in fit state of mind to appreciate this poor

The wheat is reported as looking better
since the late rains, while oats are coming
up nicely, and promise good return to the
husbandman. Some corn has already been
planted, and that planted earliest is show

has greatly retarded the preparation of CON
