The LIGHT GUARDS, We are pleased to OBJ
serve, are increasing in numbers. knowing the diff
fcuty of keeping together an organization Of this
kind, we think great praise is due our young men
for their public spirit and perseverance,. The Light
Guards have been organized nearly two years-ong
enough for its novelty and incipient enthusiasm to
wear oH-but it is at the present time in a more
prosperous condition than ever. The company now
'hanbers 43 members, with equipments for SO men.
Eannber Of gun belts and cap boxes, which have
long been expected were received this week, which
makes their accoutrements complete. We under
stand that Hares Hall has been rented by the COM
pany for an armory-the room at present occupied
for that purpose being entirely too small. Success

horses starting rather pfecpitately and turning too
short, upset the wagon, and by some means the gun
discharged the contents entering his left side.
He fingered only short time. The unfortunate
affair is to be attributed alone to drunkenness, as
the horses were frightened by the awkward proceed
ings of the man in getting into the wagon and TAX
ing the lines. Another victim to rum, the Iowa
City Crescent to the contrary.

SoReuo MoLAssEs:-We are informed that
Messrs. Hoyt and Drake, farmers on the Island;
made an experiment yesterday with the celebrated
Chinese Sugar in the manufacture Of molssses.
Fifty gallons Of the syrup made eight gallons of
molasses. The experiment is considered quite sue
cess full, The molasses is said to be very agreeable
to the taste. About fifteen acres Of the sugar
has been grown the island, which, we understand,
will be used in the manufacture of inolasses-Dai

Palmer, the newly appointed Receiver Of the Goun=
oil Bluffs Land Office, arrived on the UP packet this
morning. Notwithstanding the chlliness of the
atmosphere, he wss dressed quite aifil5 in white
flights" We hope the "Col.," with his accus-
toned perverson of what we say, will not under
stand us to mean that he was tight: The agility
he displayed in getting of tie boat just as it was
leaving would be sufficient evidence to the contrary.

FINANCIAL and Western Ex-
| change money, which was current few days after
bsing first thrown out by the banks, is down again
Yesterday the banks refused to take it on deposite
and few of our business men who had been receiv-
ing it also refused it. Bills on the Bank of Eigin,
ILL.,, were also thrown out by bankers. The bills
of this bank arc however, secured by State stocks,
and it is owing only to embarrassment at the East
that the bank was forced to suspend. 1t will prob
ably be all right ogain in short time.-Daily, 10
