THERE was strong appearance OF
rain yesterday evening. After so long
drouth. few drops of rain will be refresh
ing-awfully refreshing.
re- Those Pixies Peakers who
started away recently, will be back on Sat
urday night, as they will not get so far from
home that they cannot as we'll do it as to
camp out.
The Drug business is concentrating
about the corner of Brady and End streets
All the drug houses in the city are soon to
be within stones throw of each other. 1t
will be q very healthy place during the
summer, we presume.
BELLE OF THE FouBoURH.-Bcar in
mind that this splendid play will be pro-
duced at the German Theatre this evening
for the benefit Of the poor. 1t is a splendid
piece and will no doubt be we'll played
by our spirited German Ametuers
NEw SrnrNo Goonn. We call at
tention to the advertisement of II. II.
Smith in this mornings issue. Mr.. Smith
has splendid lot OF new goods, to which
the attention of the ladies is particularly
invited
EF We call especial attention to
the advertisement of Mr. Ii. s. Finley in
to-days issue. His facilities for supplying
shrubbery, flowers, de-, lie not equalled by
any other nursery in this region; and as
is well known in this community, he keeps
nothing but what will bear high recommen'
dation. Go to his place and examine, if
you wish to purchase anything in his line.
ST. PArRIcKs DAY.-This day
the nth Of March 10 known throughout
the world as St. Patrick's Day, and will be
generally celebrated. In this city. the
Davenport Sarsfield Guards are to make
q grand military display in the )day time.
and splendid and appropriate supper in
the e. ening at LeClaire Hall. This will be
the first appearance of the company in pub
lie. 1t is now fully uniformed and equipp-
ed and under command of Capt r. NJ. Lit
tier, we presume to say it will make splen-
did appearance.
E% A very graphic description Of
river steamboat. is given in late number
Of the Dubuque Herald The editor says
that "it is an amusing sight to witness the
crowd which gathers on the levee when .
smoke pipe becomes discernable up or down
the river. One would suppose either that
large portion of our citizens had nothing
to do, or had never seen steamboat To
the latter class We would say that steam
boat "goes" by steam-that it resembles in
distinctly the magnifed outlines Of huge
crab bestriden by hugher elephantu11r
it is manned by "rouseaboutss&N
ventilated boots and frae
and who fetch and carry q
and who are knocked doW
occasionally by the Second
hands, who stow the freight, D.
and snub the "rouseabouts" -
2 Of whom chews tobacco, hss fist welZo ~
ing twelve pounds. and who 10 supposed to
be able to whip from five to fifteen shores
men or boat hands. and No. of whom is
more aristocratic, and wears better clothes
than his subordinate-by Clerks, who a.
ways have q memorandum book in one
hand, papers in the other, pencil behind
their dexter ears. who are always "our
gentlesnanly friend to whom We are indebt-
ed for late st. Louis, st. Paul, or some other
st. papers," and who are always hand in
glove with editors, lady passengera, and the
travelling public generally. In addition to
