nv Messrs. BALDWIN h DODGE have re-
moved their Banking Office to JAMES new
brick block, on the corner OF Main ana
Lower Broadway. They have now, one OF
the best Offices in the State.
rJn looking over "Webster's una
brideed," We find the following definition
"Goid is porous concrete"-BES1LEr.--
From this, We infer that our friend of the
Bloomfield Clarion concludes "thers is
nothing in existence like abstract banking"
Are We right, ALLEN?
cTJoE, of the Oracle, says he can never
belong to "rag-tag, bob-tai'' party
knowing his domestic proclivities, We are
charitable enough to suppose that a party
fully entitled to the last part of the soubri-
quet, as above stated, would not suit him
nor any member of the "seventies," nor the
inmates of their harems.
n%No rain for three days! Is anything
,,qht ?-Nonparel.
Perhaps the Editor Of the Nonpareil can
answer that question satisfactorily. How
isit neighbor.-Bugle.
Nothing, if we except the Editor of the
Bugle.
CT-We return our thanks to Mr.. W. FAY,
for q nice lot of "green CORN" new pota-
toes. etc. We have come to the conclusion
not to submit to such ''sass," hereafter,
without u0rd in return. Parties interest
ed, will please take notice and govern them
selves accordingly.
CT 1t is said that doctors never differ on
the subject of bleeding-their patients
This may all be well enough, when taken in
connection with the old saw-"when doc
tors disagree, who shall decide" as to the
extent of the bleeding process.
CIV. G. ANDRUs has just returned
from st. Louis, bringing one of the largest
stocks Of Groceries and Provisions ever
brought to this city-amounting to about
sixty ton. Notwithstanding the dull times,
W. C. pitches IN, and thereby always keeps
fresh articles on hand, which he will dispose
of for the Cash.
%, The Vest, published at St. Joseph,
speaking of the C. B. & St. J. Road, says:
''the people of Western Iowa are already in
earnest, and are determined to build this
road to the Iowa line, to connect with the
" Platte Country road" Right-we admire
your discernment. Push on the Platte
Country Road, aud we'll soon shake hands
"over the border.'
All, doubtless, are familiar with the
words Of the nursery song, to the effect that
"Dogs delight to bark and bite, etc.
The truth of this, has been verified upon
more than one occasion lately, on our streets,
to the great edifcation of those bipeds who
are seized and possessed of similar natures.
Have we "dog-law" among us?-and if
so, will it reach those CANNES, of the bipedal
species, who cheer on and "set by the ears''
their betters-the real dogs?
Cleared Up.
Not only has the weather undergone the
change indicated by the above caput, but
the Public Square, fronting our sanctum
window, has followed suit, and become
shorn of its rank and unsightly growth Of
weeds. We congratulate the weather and
the Public Square upon their greatly i'm
proved appearance.

The Dubuque Times perpetrates the fol-
lowing, at the expense of the County off,
Gals Of Dubuque. 1t is needless to say,
that it fits our case exactly:
"Why is a citizen paying his county tax,
like person witnessing the death Of friend:
Because he sees his dollars going to that
bourne, from which no dollar returns, and
from which, no 'report' has ever reached
US.
Council Bluffs Branch State Bank.
The parties heretofore spoke of rs having
associated together for the formation of a
Branch Of the State Bank in this city, give
notice to-day that books will be opened fol-
subscription to the Capital Stock of said
Branch, on the 9th of September next. This
"no chance for spectators without money,
Tor it takes something besides crow.bars to
"open" bank of this kind.
