They have prepared in elaborate way the advantages and needs of the river and told of the great amount of business 1t will have, when fully opened to six foot navigation. Though it has been given out that the rivers and har- bors committee of the house will not hear from parties desiring appropriations during the short term of congress. the Alabama men have determined to go and see that the needs of the river are given every attention. MT. Yandiver says he never realized what the Alabama means to Alabama, until he began an exhaus- tive study of it within the last few weeks.
 Judge Street III.
 It is learned in Montgomery and with great sorrow, too, that Judge A. I. Street, for many years probate judge of Marshall county, is very i'll at his home in Gun tersville. For some time he has been suffering from a large carbuncle and within the last few days blood poison has set in, which promises to seriously com- plicate matters. Judge Street is one of the best known and most highly esteem ed men in North Alabama. Though he has affiliated for several years with the opposition to democracy so far as politics go, he has kept in peculiar and generous measure, the love and affection of his neighbors and friends. Quite a number at the capital who know the judge hope to hear that he is better soon.
