Clothing.
At the approach of Winterwe should get
every thing ready to resist the attack of that
unfeeling tyrant whose Iower in the North is
the dread of the whole people. The windows
should be filled with good glass, the houses
banked up, the cellars well secured, the sheds
erected to protect the roor cattle, the chimneys
carefully examined, stove pipes cleaned, doors
made to fit closely, &C., &c. After this is done,
warm CLOTHING should be provided for all the
household, and in securing this last object, you
are hereby informed that S1RousE d. FREEDMAN
do not allow any body with money to leave their
store without garment. Cash is scarce but
goods are Ilenty, and these gentlemen have
resolved that they will put their prices down SO
low that little money will buy all you want
Their stock is very large and just suited to the
winter trade. We see poorly dressed persons
60 in there every day who come out with caps,

you would take them for distinguished s,ran-

them. Their store is ne2r the Ferry Landing.

34oo pounds of Cheese up the hill from The
Ferry Landing. The wagon that contained The

four horses instead of two. 1t looks cruel to

their power and they did not dsappoint him
Fleming is the Land Admiral from McGrcsor

residence in Indiana:
CIR. REUBEN PIER E. long known and highly
esteemed as a veteran practitioner of medicine
in 1erre Coupec and all the region hereabnut,

yond expression. For fifteen years we had
seen hinr daily, conferred with him politically,
enjoyed the society of himself and family, and
since our removal TO Iowa we have kept the
chain of friendship bright by frequent conmu
nicason with him. He was an excellent ply
stefan, a warm friend and successful business
man and as the Forum well remarks, "his
death has left a gap in The professional and
social circles Of his old home that will long be
felt" E..A '- #s
We deeply sympathizc with his afflicted
family in this distressing bereavement. The
Doctor was the idol of his home, and it is ter
riblc to reflect upon the utter loneliness which
its inmates must feel since his removal.

We had the pleasure Of an introduction 10 him
day or two since at this place, and were much
pleased with his ready, cff-hand common sense
way Of talking. Bissel is our candidate against
Grimes. but it would delight Us exceedingly to
see Iowa wait till 1860 before she selects
Senator. Dec. 1859 is as soon as he will be
wanted, and the loss of four weeks representa-.
ton in the Senate will be more than balanced
by the certainty of getting a man then who
would reflect the will OF the peoI lie freshly ex
pressed. As the state is "plcdged to the Re-
p' blicans in 1861 they will be sure to have a
majority in the Legislature elected in October
1859, and they can then proceed to do up this
little matter and forward their man 10 Wash
