UTOm Marshall's Last.~

The Cleveland Plaindealer of the

Thos. +. Marshall, which it pronounces
his ssvery last" The Rai,adealer has
it in this wise
In coming to this city a few weeks
since from Cincinnati, he stopped over
in Delaware, Aourishing village in the
interior, for day or two. Just before
leaving there he asked the station agent
to check his valisc for Cleveland. The
agent, a tall and verdant looking young
man, chalked "Cleveland" on the vaIise
and went away. The brilliant Kentuck-
ian didn't exactly understand this way
Of checking, but a sudden thought
struck him, and he at once started in
pursuit Of the agent. After protract-
ed search, Marshall found him.
"Look here" said Tom, II want that
piece of chalk
"What forl' asked the astonished
agent.
$50 that I can have something to
show tor my baggage in Cleveland. :"
said Tom, with perfect gravity.
The verdant looking agent brushed
his long soaped locks from his eyes.
closely surveyed Toms face for a mo.
ment or two, and said, solcmnly:

brass to holders Of baggage, but reck-
on faint necessary in your case"

SNUFF D1pp1SG IN New YoRk.-Of
this disgusting practice, sometimes called
snuff digging, the New York Tribune
says: "That our readers may form
some idea of the enormous prevalence of
this habit. in our midst, We may state
that one tobacconist. having a small
store on Broadway, retails one hundred
pounds per week to his digging GUS
toners alone. His snuffing customers
consume but twenty-five pounds. One
firm, keeping a store on the Bowery nd
another down town, make and sell three
barrels 600 pounds) in the same num-
Der of days, all Of which is consumed by
women of New York city. The amount
used by each "digger" varies from one
quarter Of pound to pound per
week."

The old Germaa Evangelical church

le replaced BY : more extensive and
commodious structure, says the Journal.
Flow OF SpIRITs-Pursuant to the
order Of the Supreme Court, the Sheriff
Of Henry county recently demolished
three or four hundred dollars worth Of
liquors, in Mt. Pleasant. They were
seized under the liquor law, and wasted
their sweetness in the dirt.
ARREST OF w. B. MARsHALL.-Yes-
terday afternoon Marshal Dill, of this
place, arrived from Fulton City, ILL.,, on
the steamer Harmonic, having in his Gus
tody b. W. Marshall, the young man
charged with the crime of bigamy. He
was Immediately arrsigned before May
or Msason, and confessed ''guilty." Bail
was fixed ut the moderate sum of $500,
but he was unable to give it, and &C
cotdngly went to Jail. His trial will
take place at the May term Of Court in
this county. 1t will be remembered by
our readers that Marshall married Miss
Caple, Of EddyviIIe, Iowa, last January,
having at the same time wife in this
city. She followed him to this place
and made information against him, when
he fled from the officers who attempted
his arrest. 1t seems that he went i'm
mediately to Fulton City, where he lived
as sort of vsgrant, occasionally work
ing at his trade (tinner,) but spending
most of his time is disreputable houses.
When arrested, last Sunday night, he
was found in one of these establishments
near Fulton City. The laws of Iowa
provide that the punishment for bigamy
shall not exceed five years in the peni-
Tertiary or 500 fine aud one years i'm.
prisonment in the county tallahassee
tine journal.
A Fossil FIsH-or rather fragment
of fossil has been handed us by Mr..
c. w. Irish of Tama county, which is
we'll deserving the attention Of all who
are interested in this branch of tsudy.
The fragment before us is about two
inches one way by one inch and Eslf
the other, irregularly shaped, the outer
portion being of dark colored stone, the
inner perfectly representing in white
limestone, the abdominal portion Of the
animal. The scales are raised like
stones set in plain surface. Upon the
left side is depression, the scales being
sunk, with trace of the limestone form
| alton.
The specimen was found in quarry
worked for building stone, about mile
north of LIE Grand. in Marshal county.
The bed into which this quarry was
worked, was are told, belongs to the
carboniferous limestone OF DR.. Owen,
and seems to be identical with the Bur
lington or Grin oidal limestone. When
first discovered, the fish was entire,
about eighteen inches in length, the
head alone appearing to be bruised.
The fragments were distributed among
the neighbors-but it is thaught from
indications that other fossils Of similar
description may be found in the same
locality and We look to the Marshal
county quarry for Developments Of
more tangible and applicable character.

From the New York Times.
An EPnAPH IN ADVANCE The Psunayl. ania
legislature has just I'D lsurned. and its depart
ure 10 greeted with the following pleasant eulo-
GUM by the Philadelphia inquirer:
both houses Of the legislature have al
journed and for that one act we tender them
our hearty thanks; Tor never, in the history of
Pennsylvanis, has session been marked by
more corrupt. wicked intriguing than the pres
emf. Every good citizen feels the blush OF
honest indignation tingling his cheeks when he
thinks Of their proceedings. No measure, how
ever beneficial. could stand the slightest chance
Of passing. unless by profuse expenditure Of
money. Almost every man. with some noble
exceptions. had his price. and. if common ru
NOR be true. 1t was an enormous price. II 1t
could not be paid 10 the hard cash. secure pros
pective profits were just ss good"
Perhaps our own legislators at Albany may
be gratfsd to read what is likely to be said
of them. whenever they shall. CRAFTY the State
by adjourning. 1t will not differ much in its
general tenor from the preceding. Public
opinion is very nearly unanimous in regard to
the character Of their public acts. 1t must be
highly gra flying for public servants to carry
back to their constituents such warm express
sions of general contempt and disgust as are
ca. bodied in the paragraph we have quoted.
We commend the foregoing to the at
tcntion Of our readers. 1t is the opinion
of Black Republicans concerning them
selves, and presents the most delightful
picture of family confidence. We would
merely observe land we nope the Times
will not regard the observation as a vio-
lation of good manners or good morals)
that, if the Black Republicans cannot
trust one another, it would seem un-
reasonablc-nay, rather impudcnt-to
ask other people to trust them. These
men, who snake every good citizen
blush with Indignation" at "their cor
rurt, wicked intriguing" are in the as
cendant in most of the Northern States,
and are striving earnestly to obtain con-
troll Of the Federal Government. If they
succeed, and are as great knavcs as their
own organs say they are, what is to be,
come Of the country! We have nc
doubt that the Enquirer's comments
are eminently just and truthful and We
have perfect confidence that the DAILY
Times does not exaggerate the excel
lence as knaves Of the Black Republican
Legislators at Albany" We are de
cdedly of opinion that the men who
ought to administer the Federal Govern
ment should not make the "cheeks o.
honest citizens" single with indigna
ton"

A Word OR Two.-After the strug-
gle of the Alligator yesterday morning,
the city is undoubtedly very safe instl-
tuition, and there will be no further
difficulty arising from the bonds. This
paper is very much used up by the idiot
ic bloviations and non-sensical platitudcs
Of that same animal. We could not be
induced to spend any breath upon such
egregious stupidity, such entire want
ing of ordinary common sense. Our ar
ticle on the city bonds receives the en-
dorsement Of nine out of every ten citi-
zeus of Davenport. We ask the people
before they take step Of such import.
ance, to examine the ground little, and
see whether the thing is feasible or not !;
but that, in the eyes Of the city saver at
the other end of the hall, is injudicious,
and calculated to destroy the city in less

Verify this city ought to be able to
take care Of itself; ought to be very
safe institution, since the Gazette has
by its powerful and timely interference,
saved it from ruin so very often.

The editor Of the Humboldt Tenn Cosm %.
recently made the tour Of Indiana and Ilinos
and gives his views of the wheat prospects 80
follows:
From personal observation and dillieent in.
quiry through Illinois and Indiana. we are con-
WINGED the prospects for good crop of wheat
in that region was never better than it 10 now.
Much fear OF failure had been entertained
there as we'll as here. but We hope from the
present indications. it NAV prove groundless.
and that the farmer. and all others concerned
will have cause to rejoice in the abundance Of
the coming harvest.
The Cincinnati Gazette says: "The renor. ~
the condition of the wheat in Indiana. thoueh
bv no means discouraging. in the main ahov
q very considerable injury has been done hv
'frsexiue out" In Southern and Western
Indiana, 40 We have already noticed, it is ex.
tensive enough to create some fears of fail.
urs. Indeed, some farmers are talking OF
blowing their wheat up, and planting corn 10
its place; 80 the Evansville Journal says. Ia
eastern Indiana, also, some localities show q
peresptible injury from the same cause. the
drilled wheat, as is always the case, looking
best From the Northern part of the State
and. generally from the central, the reports
weather, and warmth enough to prevent the
young roots from being chilled, will no doub,
change the unfsvorab!e aspect Of many in.
jured fields But until last Sunday and SAtur.
day night. there vas little prospect Of rain
A. unusual ~ epring drouth 10. the greater
part Of Indiana has been suffering from it fer
two wesks. We noticed last week that hardly
. drop Of rain had fallen from the last Of
February Till then, and with the continued
forward weather anne the drouth. How far
the welcome rain Of Saturday night hes re-
lievsd the evil, We have not vet heard. but Va
fear its favors were not extended ar nrofnss
enough TO help oil the places that needed it
