A NUIsANcE.-A large brindled COW is in
the habit, at nighttime, of jumping the fence
surrounding the Courthouse Square, helping her
self to the heritage, destroying the young trees and
otherwise inuring the appearance of this beautiful
place. 1t is hardly probable that the owner of the
COW is aware of this else he would not allow her to
run at large. This Square, by proper attention,
will soon be of the finest in the West, but if
such mischievOus animals above mentioned can
go i'll and out at will all the best efforts of those
wishing to beautity the place will be fruitess.
PERsoNAL.-We have again the pleasure
of announcing the arrival of our old friend and
former citizen, ]. S. Fenimore, with supply ofhis
lniment and cough mixture. Wchave tested most
thoroughly both of these articles and must say we
believe them to be unsurpassed by any lniment or
cough preparation DOW before the public. The lin
iment is warranted to horse of the cholic or
the money refunded. In fact, the money is refund
ed for the first bottle of either article when the per-
son using them will say they ever used better
Our friend is in fine health and spirits and looks
better than saw him. We wish him sue

Bay, Wis, and belonged to gentleman who. with

~ The child whose death by drowning
was announced yesterday, boy Of nine years.
Persons have been engaged with hardly any inter
mission since the time of the accident in dragging

DILLAwAY's CHINA AND QuEENwARE Es-
TABLIsnMENr.-We were shown through this splen-
did House last evening by Mr.. Dillaway His
wares occupy three rooms, on first, second and
third floors, and we were astonishcd at the large
ness and magnifcence Of his stock. We heard a
gentleman remark, who has knowledge of this
kind of trade that Mr.. Dillaway's rooms and stock
are the finest to be found anywhere in the West,
and they certainly are. He imports all his Queens
ware, through an agent, directly from Europe
thus saving much expense in handling and consc-
quent breakage-and is thus enabled to sell his
stock at much lower rates than those who buy in
the Eastern markets. Mr.. d. informs us that his
sales of this season will surpass that of the two
hs puS
also doing good jobbing business, and will doubt
less soon supply all the country dealers in this part
of the State Those wishing articles in his line,
would do well to buy of him. or at least look at his
stock before purchasing elsewhere.
