This purpose vas skilllully cloaked,
and in its stead the ayowal was made
that it was very desirable, that some

The event Of the week has been the
prize fight between Sullivan and Kilrain
which took place on the S.h inst. at
Kichburg. Miss. Seventy-fve rounds
were fought and Sullivan scored another
victory. The fight was won easily, as
KiIrain resorted to the tactics ot falling
to avoid Sullivan's blows. About three
thousand tickets at fifteen dollars each
were sold. The governor OF Mississippi
ordered couple companies Of militia to
the state line to prevent the train with
the fighters from entering, and another
company to the place Of the fight with
orders to prevent it. But the militia
broke across the fields and were eager
witnesses along with the sheriff Of Marion
county who occupied seat in the re-
porters stand. 1t is presumed that the
governors Of the three adjoining states
also witnessed the combat. The fight was
the general topic discussed. Richard X.
Fox, the backer Of Kilrain, Is said to be
loser by 10000, and it Is believed that
a half million dollars changed hands.

TIE mail service or such as has been
given the people along the line Of the A.
h p. for the past three years has but
been an excuse for the service; as to
where the fault lies cannot be said. It
was hoped that with a change in the ad-
ministration OF public affairs that the
mail service would be placed upon its
former reliable basis. But so far moth
ing has been done to make the much
needed and desired improvement. The
appointment Of additional postal clerks
would no doubt help the matter
materially. ~. -
