BURrrs House.. D.vEsPORT OF the

snyw here outside of New York, and We do
not know, but we may safely include even
New York, is the Burtis House. Davenport
1t was built by its present proprietor. Dr.
J. j. Burtis, veteran 10 the hotel business.
and former proprietor of the lie C.sire Of
Davenport. The Bur,is House is butt i'm
mediately adjoining the depot, and near the
centre Of the city, thus saving people the
cost of transportation.
1t was built after original plans Of the
Doctors own getting up, and combines ele-
gance. cOmmodiousness, comfort, and in
short. every imaginable possible facility
known to the present age. Time and again
have we heard people say that the accom-
modations at the Burtis House are ubsur
passed even BY those of the ST. Nicholas
Hotel in New York city. Let our readers
call and judge for MISUNDERSTANDING
Herald
True, every word of it. The "Burtis"
has become as familiar a. household
words" all over the Union. Persons who
stop there once, will travel many Q mile
rather than put up at any other point than
Davenport. simply because she has the best
hotel in the West. The Burtis House is .
credit to it's proprietor and to the city.

T Transactions in Real Estate
are becomining much more numerous than
they have been for some months past. We
hear of much property changing hands, and
at very fair prices. Landlords are endeavor-
ing to raise on their rents, but we, for
one, shall most decidedly oppose anything
of the kind. Rents are now down to fair
living figure, and any attempt to raise them
should be opposed by all classes of our citi-
zens. 1t cannot be expected that the pres
ent crop is going to relieve US to that extent
many of the most sarguine suppose. 1t vii,
of course, assist US in getting free from det;,
but we cannot afford to increase our expe,-
ses in living, for year or two yet.

MOONLIGHT EXCURSION. A

MOONLIGHT EXCURSION. - "A gay
party of ladies and conference.-the invited
guests of the officers of the cid favorite
steamer Ben CAmpbell-started down the
river, Monday evening, on an excursion to
Buffalo, twelve miles below. A heavy
thunder shower was prevailing when the
boat left the levee, and when she had near
ly reached the city of Rockingham, the gale
had become 40 terrific as to compel her to
seek the cover of the woods on the Iowa
shore The boat was thus delayed some
hour or two, the party meanwhile amusing
themselves by speculating on the possibili
ty of having to make Rockingham their
temporary resting place. But everything
must have an end, and so with the thunder
Storm The clouds cleared away and the
gallant boat sped on her way to her desti-
nation. Soon the lofty spires Of the Cathe-
dral. and other public buildings of the good
democratic city of Buffalo, Qowa), loomed
up in the moonlight, and In few moments
more the landing was safely made. This
place is the depot of Clark 4 Young's coal
mines, and here we were to take on 1000
bushels Of coal. which was to be used in
producing steam for the conveyance of the
Sons of Malta excursionists in their visit to
the romantic falls of Mime ha-ha. The
operation of "coaling up" occupied several
hours, during which time the company en-
gagged in dancing. playing whist, euchre. and
social conv ersation Some few went on shore,
but did not venture far from the boat, as
there was much danger of being lost among
