tho 3d Inst, with the onclosuro "safe nnd
sound," but tho letter nddrctsod to Mr
Willnrd, with its enclosure, went whoro
tho woodbine twincth. I hnvu no doubt
the money was stolon and tho letter de
stroyed, and 1 bclievo tho robbery was
committed In Cairo, or on tho mail train,
or in Anna. Of course somebody whoso
business it is to hnndlo letters Is tho thief.
Who is the thief? Whose dutv Is it to

WEATHERISH.
Flocks ofsnow birds, in numbers as

birds of reputable character they will not,
as thoy valuo their good name, even fly
over Paducah.
Every person who was a northern boy
before ho bocamo n Cairo man, calls to
mind, whenever tho first snow flakes fall
like feathers from tho clouds, tho formerly
much admired poem, beginning with tho
lines
"It
nows 1 cries the school.boy; hurrah I and
his shout
Is ringing through p.irlorand hall;
And swift as tho wing of n swallow he's out,
And hi. playmates have answered his call."

This is from Thempson's " Winter"
N.ow when tho cheerless emnirn of thn .In,
To Capricorn tho Centau r Archor yields,
And tierce Aquarius stains the' Inverted year,
Hung o'er (he furthest vorgo of heaven, the sun
Scarco spreads through ether the dejected day.
Faint are his uleams, and incflcctual alioot
Ills struggling rays. In horizontal lines.
Through the thick air i as clothed In cloudy storm,
Weak, wan, nnd broad, he skirts thosouthern skv:
And, soon descending, (e tho lone dark night
Wldo-shading all, thoprostralo world resigns.
Nor is tho night unwlsh'd ; whllo vital heat,
Light, life, and Joy the dubious day forsake.
Meantime, in sable cincture, shadows vast,
Deep'tinged and damp, anJ congregated clouds,
And all the vapory turbulence of heaven,
Involve the faco of thlncs. Thus Winter falls.
A heavy gloom oppressiyo e'er tho world,
Through Nature shedding influence malign.
And rouses up tlie needs of dark disease.
Tie soul of rr.au dies in him, loathing life,
And black with more than melancholy views.
Tho cattlo droop; aud o'er the furrow'd land,
Fresh from tho plow, the dun dlscolor'd Hocks,
Unleaded spreading, crop the wlio'.otonio root.
Along tho woods, along tho moorish fens.
Hllhs the and genius o( the coining storm t
And up among Uio loose disjointed cliffs,
And fractured mountains wild, the brawling brook
And cave, presageful, send a hollow moan,
Resounding long In listening Fancy's ear.

Island slio hit a log heap, which caused her
to taka In about sixteen inches of water.
Her pumps were put to work and consid
erable freight was thrown overboard,
which kept her from sinking ovorher mslu
deck. Tho Commonwealth catno along
soon after and gave her n barge. She was
run over on the Island, where aho
now lies very badly twisted and It is
thought that it will be impossible to ratio
her as alio is rather old, bosldcs being in a
very bad conditton. The object which she
hit It the same tliut sunk tho C. Y. Kountz
sometime ago. A largo portion of her
cargo will be damagod. No lives wcro
lost. Further particulars will bo given
tc-morrow.
Tlie Andy Johnson, from St. Louis
bound for Keokuk, when seven miles
abovo Hannibal, Mo., Thursday afternoon,
hit a snag, tearing a largo hole in hor
hull, near tho stern, causing her to fill
and sink in six feet of water. The shock
was m light thr.t it was thought she bad
hit a cake of Ice until ho began sinking,
when the truth was known. Sho had but
