". are so well satisfied with the pros-
n.c,s of Davenport, that we have no dispo'

MrsclrlsE CELfBRRATfoN.--A farmer,
wiring the Musca,ine Enquirer, takes ex-
csriion 10 the cxclIsiveness of that cele-
nation lie don't like the idea OF the till.
rs Of the soil b-iug sent out on pleasure
De to the Junction. while The city gentle
hen ate their dinners. a little more equal
y would have given :. good deal more sat
,isc,ion.
TRE LrcIuREs.-We notice that the
nice OF season tickets 10 the lectures 10
,sIen,, /. $500 10 admit one person, and
800 far lady and gentleman for twe.ve
ecare,. This. is considerably higher than
be price fixed by the YonngMen's Associat
pn here, though the list oflcc,urers is nearly
Aeame in both places. aud what differ
nce there is, is not in favor OF G alena.-
Ne think however that the Davenport As
c'iation acted wisely in charging the INV
St possible sum. The probability il tina,
Y this plan, the aggregate Of receipts will
em large il not larger, and Of course
fea'er number Of people will be entertain
AMI instructed. This fact ought al
TO operate as an additional inlue cment
lsh our citizens to give each lecture of the
ea'on hearty and liberal patronage.
