Chasse In the Name of Our Town.

II We are gratified to be able, this week
% say to our readers that the name Of this
DOWN bloomington is changed. Hence
io1h 1t Is to be called MuscATINE. We
are aware that it will take some time to
faniliarize every one with the new name
but We think one year will suffice to OBJ
heFate The name Of Bloomington as ASSOC
cialed with our town from the mind of al
mat every one. The truth is, the town
sever should have been called by the name
bloomington. There IS a Bloomington
u seven or eight Of the States, we are con-
fdent, and in how many more we know
not. Our citisens have been continually
psrplexed and disappointed at not receiv-
ing their letters and papers from abroad
= the time they Ought to reach here BY
due course Of mail, and many important
letters and documents have been given up
lost when, 10! they would arrive here
marked, "mis-sent and forwarded"
Sometimes they would be forwarded from
Bloomington Indiana; sometimes from a
town Of the same name in Illinois-from
the Bloomfelds-the Burlingtons-the
Bloomingdales- Bloomingtowns, and eve
~ other town in the United States that
was IN "Bi0oa." This great source Of
dii6culty IS now, we trust, removed
NUscATaEE is an Indian name-there is
nothing else like it that we know Of in
any other State. 1t is euphonious, easily
remembered, easily spelt-and very APP
pfopriaie. II is the name of our county,
and we predict that MuscATINE, Iowa,
will yet make figure in the world.
When We concluded upon the name Of
our Journal, we did not know Of any in
iention or desire 10 change the name Of
town-and, although we are naturally
very modest young man, still we cannot
help appropriating to ourself some agency
in the matter. No one had thought how
we'll Muscatine would look in print, until
i was seen at the head Of our paper. As
soon, however, as we issued our first
number, we begun to hear remarks about
the appropriateness Of the name, and soon
We saw desire manifested to have the
named OF the town cheagcd. A notice
was given--a petition was circulated. The
case was presented to Judge Grant, and
.presfo"-the name of town was MUS
CAIlNE.-.Nuscatine Journal.
