The hull of the steamer Underwriter, with nil the machinery that was on hoard at the time her tipper works were burned oil', started for Cincinnati yesterday In tow or thotcamorToiu barrow. One of the I nrge.tt lunerul tralnti thai over left our city, wi that which con- veyed tho remain of Mlchucl Harry to Villa ilidgc yesterday. Four passenger coaches auti the baggage car formed the train, and all of Uiuao were lilted to rcplo-tlon with men, women and children. The haulier yard odlco, formcrlyocctl. pled by Mr.

Chas. Thompson, situated on Commercial avenue, Ju-U below Hov-eutcenth street, In being moved, ut the Instance of Mr. Able, to Mime point be yond thecouveut. The Journey ls very long one, but Is bolng made nml rapidly. We are glad to learn that John Hamilton in much better to-day, aud that all apprehensions of a fatal termination in his case, have dUilpated.

Ho will probably be confined to bin bed a period of eight or ten days yet, but his recovery I rogurded ascertain. Mr. John V. Trover was thrown from his buggy to-day, but; fortunately, escaped any m. rlom Injury.

His arm was itralucd and somewhat bruit-ed, and, It is quite protable that he was shakon up pretty gentrally, but, as we have said, his Injuries were not serious. Hlr onf ritllng by ItlK tdtlo, craped without oven a scratch. The city council of l'aduoah havo ordure 1 tho MubmUslou of tho juwtlon to tho tho city, whether the-cor poration stibseribo SI0D0 per nillo to four gravel rotds penetrating different, ectlnus of tho surrounding country There was onK one vote in the council recanli I agatnet tho proposition, nnd the 'Herald' predict that tho subscrtpt on will be voted by a Janrj majority. We earnestly hopu that such will bo tho result, for without prosperous surround lugs the prosperity of Cairo can bo nolth er permanent nor healthy. The government Is erecting in tills city, a largo frii.no school limine for tho use of tho colored people.

It Is altuuted on Walnut street, near the spot wlioro Heaven avenged Jako Hratlley by hbow erlng lire upon a building devoted to the tiHe. The building about thirty by sixty feet, oce atory, with a teu foot basement. It can bo made to accommo- dato about two hundred pupils. Who Ih to teach tho Juvenile black ldea.s how to shoot, wo are not advised Tho position ought to be tlllod by nu hi telllgeut colored man, nod not by uuy of tho whlto loafers who accept posl Mons, not so much on account of the fixed -aalary as tho amount the position will enable thorn to Meal The Rev. Mr, trot nor, ror instance, would fill tho po sition most acceptably to nil concerned.

he Paducah 'Herald' copied our last woo ks quotation of wlieat, and expressed Hie heller that I wlilto wheat was not. ruling in l-x'iO'' lor misiiei, as quoian by us. Tho quotations bad reJeronce to old wheat and for a strictly prime article. Wo aro of tho opinion that tho figures, when published by us, woro correct. At all oveuts they wero furnished by a ro portor who makes commercial matters a specialty, Most of tho wheat now owning Into mnrket is In bad condition.

For this rea son wo find it uusnfo to give any figures at an. nro Inclined to think, how ever, that strictly choice old whlto wheat would command f0; aud other grades, now aud old, from DO conts to 30. Our Mr. Hagoy Is tho recipient of a ningnifl-ent boquet, very largo, very fragrant and most arllstcally formed, from thohnndsof a Metropolis miss, whose nnmo wo do not glvo, for" tho suftloiont reason thnt wo do not know It. Tho bo-qtiot Is really beautiful, and tho stories tho (lowers tell I Ah me.

Tlioy como us tho most precious scraps from a feast of language scraps oulled by a mind of good discrimination. Hagoy is happy, in tlic por-VoloU tieralil of Joy," and ho is silent, dreamy. tho ontiro mail edition of tho 'liulletm' go to Metropolis to-day, olmrgo tho blunder to tho fact that tho mail list Is in Hugey's hands, and that rtlnco tho receipt of tho boquet ho Is confident thero iu only one plaoe In tho worjd and that place Is Metropolis 1' Tho Rov.

After Tlirm. At a lato hour ulght before last, two or three itrangcrs armed with doublo-barrel-ed shot-iuns, wero In tho city In search of tho murderers. They peered Into tho different hotels, saloons and business housei, raaklnt; fow If any inquiries or explanations, and leaving quietly as they came.

Tho Inst account wo had of theso murderers was to tho eflect that they had crossed over Into Missouri, and were making their way fe'outh. Wo sincerely hopo that they may be overhauled, for bloodier brace of villains tlo not live. 'I ho Cairo Ilnllvtlu. Wo are glad fo bo favored with an exchange from thoCalro Weekly an eight page paper, edited with ability by those experienced newspaper men, John Oberly and Moso Harrcll. It is tho Ifoat newspaper Cairo over hud, and with tho exception of Its politics, which aro a little fogyltth, itdeserves to succeed.

The 'Times' of this mo.nilng, nfter re-markIo that valuable Improvements have boon mnde upon the Hidowaiks, ay tup.t there Is still need of many more: that socio of the walks on thy cron.s rttreets are in bad ooudition.
