hashed and revamped their stale and false stories
of Republican extravaganza, ut the Court House,

smaller effect. They are rather small game, and

SWEET PorAroEs are quoted at 81 ,5o@$2

here at 75c to 81. We are unable to account for

two markets-wheat nearly always, however, COM
manding better price here.

TIE LATE COLD SPELL.-As "misery loves
company" it may be interesting to our readers to
know that the late Tor rather edrls) visitation of
Jack Frost' was not confined to this region Of
country. We learn from our exchanges that he
called through Indiana and Ohio. In the Western
part of New York, he was especially mschevous.

frost was severe enough to form hard crust on the
ground Potatoes aud all the vines were cut to the
ground snow and hail storm prevailed the day

TIE CRY ORDrNANcEs.-The various laws
and ordinances of this city have not been codifed
and published in pamphlet form stree 1858. Of
course. as many of The old ordinances have been
repealed and new ones adopted lis difficult now to
determine what 10 law and what is not. None but
the officers themselves can know what ordinances
Of binding effect. As it is the duty of the
''powers that be- to let their constituents know
what regulations they are required to obey we
respectfully suggest that our honorable Getty Fa-
TIERS lose no further time in appointing commit

the ordinances now in force. FtEs

eastern par frundy county, Iowa" He says he
holds AM igation article of agreement by
which any erson can make as much money
as he car about" and 'come out strong

part of programme to play practical jokes on the
credulous and unsuspecting, scheme to fleece
them of their money, or, what ismost probable, the
halucination of dsordered brain, it is difficult to
determine We do not imagine, however, that a
great deal of harm will be done by it.
GT The Reu. Henry Clay Dean, or Hon.
H. C. Dean, or H. Clay dean, las the papers vari-
ousy have it,) spoke in Davenport, Tuesday, ac-

Committee. The Gazette says he excels Tom lie son
in his reckless denunciation of prominent Republic

were highly incensed. The Gdzette expresses the
same opinion we did after hearing Mr.. Dean at this
pace-namely, that his speeches will do the Dem
ocrats more harm than good. His Davenport
speech made at least fifty Republican votes. Keep
Dean on the stump, gentlemen Democrats, and you

The LOCAL POLITICAL CONTEST in this
county is proceeding quietly, though it will no
doubt become somewhat exciting about election
day and both parties will poll full vote. The two

Republican principles triumph not only here bu
everywhere. We claim small majority in thi
