The criminal docket was opened yes terday morning with quite an array of cases, some of them far-reaching and im portant in thoir consequences.

Wl I Coma Again With HI* Balloon OutUt- There is a concerted move among the merchants to offer Prof. Odell, the aeronaut, Inducements enough to revisit Americas with hit balloon and make another ascension. Ulss Leona captivated the crowd; her nerve and self-possession winning many pretty compliments for her from the as sembled spectators, who admired the undisturbed way in which she soared away on her perilous journey. It is certain that the Professor will come again and that Uiss Leona will sail “ont of sight” in the talons of her canvas bird. The merchants appreciate the benefits that would accrue to them from the im mense crowds who would come from the four points of the compass to witness the ascension. Prof. Odell, Uiss Leona and Gipsey will soon be passengers on the train from Richland to Amerieus, and they will come with theassnranoe that their trou ble and expense will be abundantly re warded. i We have placed with us for tale a Cbiokering upright piano, good as new, that can be bought for just half price. Call early as it must be sold at once. - James Pricker A Bro. A Lively Chas*. On Sunday morning last, Ur. Zac Goss’ hounds commenced trailing a wild eat. Ur.
