MUCH ADO, &C.-The firemen 4
Rock Island express much dissatisfsctip1
about the recent trial at Moline, and charGg
a fraud upon their competitors. They Al
state that the broom presente ton is hu1
bug; that there vas no trial for brooo;
and further, they charge our Chi
with purchasing . splendid boquet and -
ting beautiful damsel TO present It to hin.

ernor Grimes ranks next. I
This item has been dodging aboste11to
West long enough to be corrected. There
is no doubt in the world that Mr.. LIE Claire,
Of this city. is the most wealthy man in tn
State Of Iowa, but as to Grimes being SEQ
ond in wealth there is q mistake. There
are two men that we know of in this city,
that are worth more than Grimes, and sew
eral in Dubuque that can over count his pile.
To OUR COUNTRY FRIENDs.-By ad-
vertlsement it will be seen that your old
friend. Il. H. Smith, with whom you have
all done much trading, has made arrange
mento to remove from his present quarters
in Metropolitan Block, on the 18th Of No
vember next, to his old stand on the South
east corner of Second and Brady streets, so
long and favorably known as "Smith's Cor
ner," or "Smiths Variety Store" 1t has
been source of regret among Mr. Smiths
many friends that he ever left 90 eligible .
position as the old corner store for one less
easy of access and more out of the way of
the strongest current of trade, and all will
be glad to know that he has concluded to
return.
At the old Variety Store will be found
the same full and desirable stock of goods
that Mr.. S. has ever been noted for keeping.
Bear this in mind when you come to town
to purchase goods

A fat Woman in Trouble at Sea.

A corpulent lady, on her way 10 Cali
fornia, writes back to one Of her acqualn-
tances her experience in travelling. Here
is an extract: "Our cabin has two boxes
in ii called berths, though cofiins would
be nearer the thing, for you think more
of YOUR latter end at sea great deal. One
of these is situated over the other like two
shelves. and these together make what
they call state IooD, My berth is the
uppermost one, and have TO climb up to
it, putting one loot on the lower one, and
The o.her way out on the washstand,
which is great stretch and makes it very
straining-then lfi one knee on The berth
and ro! into it sideways. This is very
Iinconvenenl for a woman of my size, ,and
very dangerous. Last night | put my
foot in on Mrs. Browns face, as she lay
asleep close to the edge Of the lower one'
and nearly put out her eye, and have
torn al! the skin off my knees, and then
have a large black spot where have been
hurt, and my head is sweIled. TO dis
mount is another feat Of horsemanship, on
| ly fl for a sailor. You can't sit up, for
the floor overhead, so you have to turn
round and roll your legs ont first, and then
hold on ill you touch bottom somewhere,
and then let yourself down upright
sit is dreadful work; don't know
which is the hardest, to get in or out OF a
berlh.-bolh are the most difficult things
in the world. and shall be glad when
am done with it, ! am obliged to dress
in bed before leave it, and Eobody who
hasn't tried TO put on their clothes lying
down can tell what it is. Lacing stays
behind your back, and you on yonr face,
nearly smothered with the bed clothes
feeling for the eyeet hole with one hand
and trying TO put the tag in with the 9th,
ei, while your are rolling about from side
to side, is no laughing matter.-Yester'
day fastened on the pillow 10 my hustle,
by mistake, in the hurry, and never knew
it till the people laughed, and said the sea
agreed with me, had grown so fat; bu
putting on stockings is the worst, 70!
there ain'l room to sIoop forward. so you
have to bring your foot TO you, and
stretching ou, your back, lift up your leg
till you can reach it, and then drag il on
Corpulent people can't always do this
easy, | can tell you. Ii always gives me
the cramp, and takes away my breath
You would pity me if you could con.
ceive, but you can't, nobody but woman
can tell what woman suffers in berth

only one resource left him and that was

accordingly hid himself in a thick group

Safely hid, he remained under the COW

Mineral Bank-a Heavy Fraud Detected

attachment issued blythe TruStecS.-
This community was not little startled,
on Tuesday evening, al some Astounding
developments in regard to the affairs ol
the Mineral Bank Of Maryland.
In overhauiing the books Messrs. John
Beal and George A. Peaue. the trustees,
discovered that funds Of the Bank amount
ing 10 the enormous sum of one hundred
and TWENTY-FIVE thousand seven hundred
and sixty dollars, had been drawn out ty
the President of the Bank on fifteen sew
eral bills Of exchange, drawn by The Pres
ident on the tenth day of February 1854.
MIR. Tucker the late President, left dis
place some two weeks since, TOR the pur-
pose, as alleged by the trustees, Of de-
Ihauding his creditors. rs soon, there
fore, as the overhauling Of the books eX'
posed the matter, the trustees forthwith
sued out an attachment, which was imme-
diatgIv placed in the hands Of tie Sheriff
and levy made upon the personal effects
Of Joseph II. Tucker Tie affidavit up.
on which the attachment was issued sets
! forth the aggregate amount Of the bills oi
exchange,and states further thai said bills
of exchange are not in the possession OF
the trustees, and that they believe the
same when drawn were delivered 10 Jo-
seph II, Tucker, who has absuacted the
same from the Bank Improperly.
The affidavit shows further indebted.
ness to the Bank on the part Of the Presl'
dent, making with the $l22,7G0 mention.
ed above, a total Indebtedness Of near
$4,000. A small portion OF that a.
mount has been secured by mortgage on
his real estate in this county.
The matter has created good GeaI o
excitement, and during yesterday the al
fair was the general subject OF discussion.
But for the defalcalon, the Bank would
have been able to pay every dollar II owed
and had on hand afterwards quite a sur
plus. The sober second thought OF many
Ior our citizens convinced them that some.
,hing was wrong in the Bank, and many
of them did not hesitate 10 so express
themselves. Il was well known that a
heavy business was done by the bank and
lhose who watched the run Of rs affairs
alleged taat hey know that its aggregate
annual profits could not have fallen shoEl
Of from twenty-five 10 thirty thousand dol
lars. Wha! became OF them is now made
but too apparent.
We are unable 10 learn the particulars
Of the discovery of the affair, and do not
know whether the facts and circumstances
upon which the Trustees rely for proof
can be sustained. That will be determin-
ed by the proper tribunal hereafter. We
hone for Mr.. fuckers sake that the TINS
tees are misloken.-Cumberiand Teie.

courtinr-a sad predicament.

An Iowa paper tells the following good
Joke which happened some time ago, but
will lose nothing by its age:
A certain man in search Of wife, be-
ing out on a courling expedition,os is Gus
tomary with young men, came late on
Sunday evening, and in order TO keep his
secret from his young acquaintances, de-
,ermined TO be al home on Monday morn
ing, bright and early, so that his absence
would not be noticed. But his ahianced
resided several miles from the town in
which he sojourned; and so 10 overcome
the distance, he required the use of a
horse. Mounted on his horse, dressed
in his fine white summer pants, and oIker
fixin's in proportion, he arrives at the res
idan,e Of his ndn0ratd, whele he is
kindly received and his horse properly
taken care of by being turned into the
pasture for the night. The evening, yea,
the night, passed away, but how TO the
young man is nobody's business. Three
o'clock in the morning arrived. Our he
70 was awake-nay, he had been so all
night-but it matters not-three o'clock
was the time to depart, so that he might
arrive at home before his comrades were
stirring. Not wishing to disturb the
family or his lady love, who were then
wrapped in the arms of Morpheus, he
sailed forth TO catch his horse. But here
was dlfliculty-the grass was high ard
covered with dew. TO venture in with
his white pantaloons, would rather take
the starch out of them, and lead 10 his de-
lection. II would not DO 10 60 in with
his white unmentionsbles, so he quickly
made his resolution. Ii was three o'clock
in the morning and nobody stirring so he
carefully disIobed himself Of his whites
and placed them in safely upon the fence
while he gave chase with unscreened ped
ais, through we! grass after the horse.
Blu, the steed was fond of clover and had
no notion of leaving it. But our hero
was not to be thwarted, although he be-
gan to realize the truth Of the old sdage
about the course of true love, &C., and
finally the horse was captured.
Returning TO the fence where he had
safely suspended his lilly white unmen-
tionabIes-O! Mirabile Dictu, wha, a
horrible sight met his eyes The field
into which his horse had been turned was
not only horse pasture. but calf pasture
TOO, and the naughty calves attracted by
the white flag on on the fence had betaken
themselves 10 it, and calf like had almost
eaten them up; only few well chewed
fragments TO this once valuable article OF
his wardrobe now remained-only few
shreds-just sufficient 10 Indicate what
they had been. What a pickle this was
for nice young man TO be in.
|, was now daylight. and the industri-
Gus farmers were up and about, and our
