PETIT JURORS.


James Renwick, Edward Smith.
l. w. Burrows,
Onr efficient County Clerk has got every
thing pertaining to the docket arranged in
the most excellent style, 30 that the Judge
can in moment determine by reference to
bis docket precisely what disposition was
made Of each case brought up at the last
term
The members of the Scott county bar
have been dieting for the past week and
look amazingly sharp, and will undoubted-
ly do some pretty clean shaving at the
coming term. For their sakes We are sor-
ry that the "talfy" trade is clear gone by.
compelling chem therefore, to resort to 9th
er simples in order to keep their jaws wag
their clients. Should the weather continue
warm, We would suggest to the boys that
they ply the bar plentifully with ice cream
peanuts. and liquorice root.
At the close Of this term we shall expect
to see the docket cleaned of most of the
cases which now lumber it. There are u
few old snsgs," however, that will yet
require great deal Of time. money and la
Dor to remove entirely.
THE RAILROAD ExcURsIoN.-The
owners Of the Rail Road Bridge gave the
United States Commissioners a free ride
over that wonderful specimen of architec
tuae. the NJ. 4 M. r. R., on Friday
last. The editors Of the Gazette and News
we're invited but poor "wc" were not invi-
ted.
1t has been stated that the editors of the
Democrat were marked men, but we think
this cut at US innecents. too terrible to be
borne. 1t will take long time for US to
recover from such savage thurst.
However. all paaties concerned are said
to have had good time, and as our friend
DR.. Burtis was along, We do not doubt that
the report is entirely accurate. The DR..
makes people happy wherever he ia
1t generally understood now among the
bridge folks that this move settles the mat
ter, and that the report of the Commission
ers will be that the bridge is no obstruc-
tion. That being the particular pile played
for, and for which 90 much food, cham
pagne: dc, was furnished lit will bea source
Of much chagrin to the parties paying
therefor, if it doesn't win.
TROUBLES IN THE CURRENcY.-Ex-
CHANGE IN ST. LOUIS 2 1-2 PER cxsr.-From
the st. Louis Republican We see that ex-
change for currency has gone up to 2 l-2
per cent. This is what might be expected
from the present state Of the money mark
ct. This rate Of exchange il on Illineis and
Wisconsin currency. For Minnesota not .
dollar can be purchased at any price. The
attempt on the part of the wildcat men to
food the country with another batch Of
shinplasters is destroying confidence in near.
~ everything aaoat- We warn al persons
to stand from under the impending crash
The Illinois and Wisconsin currency is bas-
Cd upon good State stocks, and no loss may
be feared, but the Minnesota trash Il totally
unsecured and put out with no intention Of
being redeemed, and in the event Of pan
ic it viii 80 up 20 high that not . hair Of
the animal will be seen.
We repeat again. do not touch the stuff,
| for in the event Of loss the holder will suff.
or and not those who pay it out. Mark il,
if We do not tell the truth. We ought "a
be pretty COED advisers on the currency
question by this time.
GREEN.-Not like the editors of the
Gazette and Nssss-but real lipe, grassy
green ON the hills and meadows around
Davenport. The fine weather. for the past
few weeks. has brought everything forward
and ws shall soen have flowers blooming in
abundance. This kind Il weather makes Z
man fssl good Ill over.
