-Belleville News: "Tho St. Louis &
Cairo Narrow gauge has paid tho compen
sation and damages assessed against It for
the right of way over tho Keck place and
will go to work right away. In a conversa.
tion with Smith, chief engineer of tho road,
we learn that four miles of the new branch
road is already graded, and truck-laying
will begin next week. In less than two
months tho locomotivo whistle will wake
up the denizens of Millstadt. This branch
road has been quietly worked up, and will
be in operation beforo aoiuo people in tho
county find out that any such project is on
hand. Of course the road will not er.d at
Millstadt; it is seeking connections that will
eventually mukoit a fcrand trunk line, and
thid city is on thu lino."
It is a fact which but few peoplo would
believe without positive proof, that about
two months ago there were actually ono
hundred ard eleven dogs owned in this
city. Tho proof of this we find in tho as
sessor's books. But since this report was
made Chief Myers has captured ami killed
Hhout two hundred and thirty-five dogs
and he is confident that there are about
the hundred or a thousand more in the
city. This would indicate a very remark
able fecundity in the canine race, aud ren
ders the prospect that by continued war
upon them with powder and ball will lessen
their number almost hopeless.
Dr. Strong is absent from tho city, hav
ing been suddenly called to tho bedside of
his little daughter in Ohio. Since coining

warm friends, and built up a large practice
iu Homeopathy. He has but recently mov

new buildings, where he has fitted up his
suit of rooms with elegance and taste. His
new office is a gem, the room for adminis
tering the Eloctro Vapor baths is large and
comfortable, and furnished with all the
conveniences that tend to make theso popu
lar baths not only a benefit to the sick, but
a luxury to the healthy.
A man named Haly, who is a resident
of Bird's Toint, Mo., an 1 who "got his

with another tough on the steamer Three
States, is aain iu trouble and in jail in
this city. Tuesday he entered tli. store of
Mr. Dwyerat Bird's Point and proceeded to
abuse and assault the proprietor, aftir
which he left, coming to this city. The
marshal ot Bird's Point sent word here to
arrest Haly and last night Officer McTigue
captured him on Ohio levee and took him
to jail for sate keeping until to-day when
he wilt be turned ever to the Br is Point
officer and taken bck home.
The time when Sheriff Hodges must

and has a city look about it which is in no
ticeable contraat to its former estate, as per
Mr. Dicken 'a portrait of it, However, it
was already building with bricks when I
had seen it last which was when Colonel
(now General) Grant was drilling bis first
command there. Uncle Mumford says tho
libraries and Sunday Schools have done a
good work in Cairo, as well as the brick
masons. Cairo has a heavy ruilroad and
river trade, and her situation at the junc
tion of the two great river is ho udvatage
ou.4 that she cannot well help prospering."
Missouri Republican: "The statistician

little idea from thu statement that tip to

of coal. But when it is stated that this
body would form a solid wall 100 feet wide
tor a distance of 211 miles, tho immensity
of the quantities Is somewhat more appar
ent. Tho coal would form a wall 100 feet
thick ami 208 feet high from Nuw York to
Philadelphia, Great as has been tho pro
duction, and extensive as are thu excava
tion in thu soil ot the Keystone stalest is es
timated that only six pur cunt, of the avail
able supply has boen exhausted. At pres
ent rates of increaeo, and with the contin
ual improvement in mining processes, it is
evident, however, that another hundred
years will make mighty inroads upon tho
deposits."
Hero is what Mark Twain says about
Lairo and surroundings, in his latest book
"Near the mouth of tho Ohio river sevcra

way around to get to it. Night fell as we

seemed meek and innocent enough; but
when she had been comfortably ensconced
in the chiefs home, been dressed by Mrs
Myers in some of her dangler's clothing
and was given tho free lorn of the house,
she grew bold and showed parts of her
true nature that soon dispelled the first im
pressions made by her, ami
made her presence in the
house unbearable. The chief posted
himself as to the truth or falsity of her
story and found it to be the latter. He
thereupon telegraphed to the marsh il of
Vandalia to cune after the girl, and he
came yesterday and t ok her away.
One reason why the cholen and other
epidemic diseases play such dread havoc
in E.'ypt and all portions of thEad is the
fatalism of the people. "Kismet, it

Strict quarantine will probable prevent a

other diseases from springing up among us,
to keep our city as free from sickness as it
now is, it should bn thu care of every citi

company to council about two years ago,
praying that body to permit the St. Louis &
Cairo railroad company to use portion of
New Levee Street as right-of-way for its

the appropriation by said railroad company
of part of said levee street for the purpose

pointed by council to make estimates as to
costs of constructing certain walks. Re
port referred to street committee.

Clerk Foley called attention of council
to the many and serious blunders and omis
sions in published reports of council pro
ceedings ami other city printing, as they
appear in the official paper of the city. He
stated that so far every report of the coun
cil proceedings had Iwen full of errors of
omission and of commifsion, in many in
stances rendering tho matter unintelligible
and Bomitiracs the pu .lication invalid;
that this had transpired in spitu ot his per
sonal efforts to aid the printers in reading
and correcting tho proofs; that the publica
tion of the ordinance making the levee tor
the present fiscal year had been rendered
invalid by reoson of several important
omissions and that unless it were published
correctly in the next issue of tho paper, se
rious complications would result. The
clerk felt it his duty, after rcpeatt 1 failures
to briug about a chatigu for the better, to
call the council's attention to the matter,
and would be satisfied with any or no ac
tion, as it might please that body,
Alderman McIIale moved that the mayor
aud the clerk bo appointed a committee to
w ait upon Mr. Scott and ascertain the cause
of the evil complained of and tho prospects
for a remedy. Carried.
Council then adjourned.
