LOCAL MATTERS.

W. are pleased 10 notice W Ine Musca-
Ioarual that !. is intended to have a
' !. in that city On the occasion OF
.euug the branch road from Muse .une to
n,;n trunk Of the Davenport and Mis-
-; Road. Our c,temporary 10 however
taken in supposing that at the contem-
IA celebration passenger cars will be
4, the iir.t time in Iowa. That irter'
,ios event occurred some time since on
.;on Of the excursion from this city
w.,eott, when the Davenport and Mif-
-; Road was opened for that distance
n. fact is pretty we'll known over the
49,. and indeed we have derived no
i. hsne6, from II. We imagine there
b.. few papers in the United States
h;.h have not published the fact that Dav'
,o,, had the FIRST Locomotive in Iowa.
! That the drst passenger train westward
,,,ei from this city. Cur Muscatine
;,nd. will therefore please correct their
cord. They will be entitled to the cred
Of having run the second train Of pa''en-
cara. and we hope they may have
.ry pleasant time Of It.
-Messrs. Eldridge & Stephens, Of
: New York Store, are in receipt among
r., fruits Of some very fine che stnuts, if
NAV imd re BY the package sent US. Give
sm call.
We notice that the Marshal Of Mus.
time .dve ,tises q sale Of twenty .6ve.hogs
hieh have been taken up for rum pg in
!. streets contrary TO the statute in that
"a made and provided. We have not
l,n hog in our streets for mouths. The
6ee, no attends to enforcing the ordi-
,nee concerning them, has done it effect
AIN: and If all other ordinances were
bu,lly " ell obeyed. we would be cited as a
odel town, from one end Of the country to
e other.
We ore informed by gentleman
a, a few days ago, in field Of Mr.. Willis,
Fsr Rockingham in this county, he pulled
ear of corn which had twenty-seven
Tvs around. The ear was not remarkably
rs, bu, we belie,ethat is an extraordinary
pmber Of rows for the girth. Our inform
j sent the curiosity TO Boston, where il
III doubtless surprise the corngrowers
no may happen to see il, us much as the
lion, cent sJme time since from this place
Weathersfied, did the select-men Of that
mous town. Iowa cannot be excited for
y fertile soil, and for vegetables Of cor.
spending proportions.
The Upton Advertiser says there are
~ families of Free Lovers in that town,
ID tina, one orthcir number lately sickened
u died, -one oil their doctrines being not
employ phy.icitn. We d. not know
y way 10 which the memb RS Of the sect
ud confer SO great benefit on tl,e world
BY al Of them dying as soon as possible,
with their fresent doctrines, they can
rsainlg do no good by living. We believe
IRE are none Of the genus in Davenport
are certain that we want none OF them.
We stopped to see Dicknson's Corn
heller in operation yesterday. II performs
that the advertisement specifies il will
1t is simple, runs easy aud does its
ork we'll. The price Of them is Sig.
very farmer should have one Of them.
Yesterday Mr.. A. c. FULTps dispo-
ID q bis fine family mansion, situated on
river just above the city, to Mr.. ]. O.
|aour, Of Ohio, for $4,000. The property
as sold low and AR. 8. at once takes pos
ssloa OF a house Astounding in all the con
hiences to make a dwelling house COM
Haole. We welcome Mr.. Shoup to our
y; though we rarely have seen him. his
'me has been familiar as household word
Us since boyhooI.
