DRowNED.-A gentleman who came from
Clayton City on Monday tells us that .
two-masted sloop or schooner came down
the Wisconsin on that day bound for New
Orleans and that when opposite to and
quite near Clayton, the Captain in adjust
ing some part of the rigging fell overheard
and was seen no more. This accident hap
pencd in full view of the town but our infor-
mant left before any particulars could be
learned Of the name Of the sloop, that Of
the unfortunate man or the place where it
was fitted QUIT was rumorcd thatit was
destined for New Orleans. 1t probably

Goop-BYE.-On Friday last James Bl ythe,
Prof. X. Il. Tomlinson, Duncan Harrison
md Al 5eh Alien, all of McGreg55 took UP
the line of march FIR tina Mast hAir aar,
is up for Cherry Greek, but If the news does
not suit them when they reach the extreme
frontier they are ready to engage in any bust
ness that may present itself. They are all
working men and can do well anywhere
This is probably the last party that will
leave here unless our boys, who now have
reached the mines, should set up the dig
gins in very favorable light.
May success attend the last McGregor
party.

MILwAUKEE.-We call attention to the
the advertisement of w. NJ. SINCLAIR,
Wholesale Grocer of Milwaukee. Mr.. Sim
clair is the successor of the late firm of
Sinclair & Gunnison, pair of gentlemen
who have done more business with North
Iowa than any other firm in Milwaukee,

lance with Sinclair and commend him cor
daily to the confidence of our readers. If
you want GROCERIES or other goods in his
line enclose draft, describe the articles

ToNsoRIAL.-The Card of Messrs. Crom-
well 4 Thompson appears in our paper Of
to-day. The poetry is "Bob's" own and it
does him no discredit either. Travellers and
residents will find in the basement Of the
American two very accommodating 1cslsr-
oT' gents who are faultless in their vocation.
We observed small shower-bath arrange
ment in their saloon designed to cool the
hot-heads Of the McGregor boys and put
them through the shan.pooiag process during
the summer. But we need not tell the pub
lie here Of all their CONFERENCE.-The

already taken the best men in town by the
nose.

DEFERRED.-We have several commune
cations on hand which we are reluctantly
compelled to lay aside for future exami-
nation. We are beginning to coax out =
good deal Of young talent in North Iowa,
and if the articles furnished are not as pro-
found as some Of our cold blooded critics
would desire, it must be reccllected that all
great writers had once to begin; the boys
and girls Of to-day win be the men and
women Of the next generation. Our young
folks are invited to send in their communi-
cations without fear of being unkindly re-
ceived.

FERRY MArrERs.-Since Monday the 25th,
the Alamakee has made nightly trips from
the Wisconsin side to McGregor, on arrival
of the trains from the east. This is . new
feature and one which we are much pleased
with; there is no propriety in carrying Nc
Gregor people two miles up town to lodge
and breakfast at Pr. du CHEN when the

them with their families in 20 minutes

Prairie du Chien.
The Railroad meeting at our sister city on
Wednesday last was not exactly what was
anticipated by its projectors. But few Of
the Iowa people were present and lack Of
interest seemed to pcrvade the assembled
delegates. The report Of their proceedings
may sound we'll in the columns Of news
paper, but the stringency Of the times is two
palpable to make any show Of spirit cquiva-
lent to bona fide subscriptions to new
Railroad project. As we write on Tuesday
morning We. are not in receipt of full re-
port Of the proceedings, nor are we posted
as to the exact object of the meeting unless
it he the establishment of wcst-rivcr point
at Johnsonsport, which is to rival McGreg-
or and which, if it shall succeed at all, will
be fatal rival to the very city that is so anx-
ious to build it up. Notwithstanding the
hasty assertion of contemporary that we
are in the habit of giving Prairie du Chen
"a back-handed lick" we disclaim any feel
ing on this subject farther than such as in
duces us to repeat what We religiously be-
lieve, that Pr. du Chen will find her inter-
ests best subserved by close business, rail-
road and social connection with this already
built and fourishing town of McGREeoR,
rather than in seeking occasions to mar our
prosperity by following out a plan that must

weather. Markets. &c.


The weather is good enough just now and
we hope it will remain so. Grass is little
slow coming forward, but the showers of
the last day or two will improve it. The
river is high and rising.
The Markets arc good and the last week
has been decidedly busy one. Wheat has
gone up to $l,00@1,12 for old, and we
heard Of sales made yesterday at Sl,16 for
a prime article-new wheat brings 80 to 90
quick. The eastern and southern markets
are much excited and anticipations of far
ther advance are entertained. Oats 40 to
