Go AND HEAR HIM.-R. ToMpKINs ESQ, a
Good Templar will read an original poem at
kennedy's Hall on Thursday night. The
subject will be ''The Birth of Bacchus."
Mr.. Tompkins is an unpretending man, but
it is our deliberate opinion that he will en-
terrain an audience well. We have some
acquaintance with his rhyming. Go, by
all means, and give him full house.

RuxoR.-Itis reported that the Minneso'
Ia Packet Company design to make Prairie
du Chen instead of Dunleith their lowe,
steamboat terminus. This report has oh.
tanned such credit that objections are being
made to it through the Dubuque, Galena
and Dunleith papers. If such an arrange
ment is made it will enure to the benefit of
the Milwaukee and Mississippi road. We
do not believe it is made, and yet it looks
as though the passengers and great share
Of the freight transportation for up-river
points must be tapped higher up than Dun.

is to be worth having.

SORE TnRoAT.-Somc medical adviser Sc
riously recommends the following remedy
"Grasp the throat of the person afflicted
with both hands, letting the fingers lap
about one inch. Continue this treatment
for about half an hour, after which let some
strong healthy person manipulate the head
of the person, passing the hands down from
the head, across the neck, and under the
chin" ......- vs A. .--.-r-.s. -r.s--.
About the time this was being done, it
seems reasonable to conclude the patient
would commence to manipulate little with
closed hand in the region of the operators
proboscis.

Navigation Opened.
The ice went out of the river at this eros

would have turned the river itself over, had
there been any place to deposit it. The

would probably have been as follows:

have felt so frightened at the glory which

Three cheers were given for John LAWYER
with q will that told how highly he is re-
garded on this side, as business man, a
Railroad Agent and a gentleman. We did
not learn whether John made a speech, or
merely blushed his gratitude. The Alama-
kee made two trips on Monday, carrying
each time large amount of freight each
way, and on yesterday she was as regular
in her visitations to our wharf as though it
were midsummer.

Home Matters.
The Festival of the Ladies' Industrial
Circle was the most important social event
of last week. An account of it may be
found in another column. :. . On Tuesday
last, Hon. Samuel Merrill returned to his
legislative labors at Dcs Moines, where he
will remain till the close of the session. {. d. =.
Mcssrs. Bigclow and Peck, of McGregor,
and Mr.. Highly, of Dubuque, are busily en-
gagged as Commissioners in surveying and
plating that portion of McGrcgor and vi
cinity the title to which is understood to be
definitely settled. The Baptist Church is
now regularly organized at McGregor; a
building for public worship will be erected
during the present year. The Baptists
number some Of the most intelligent and in
fluential citizens Of the place. The Branch
Bank building is now ready for the inside
painters, and in few weeks men with good
notes, well Endorsed, can probably make a
raise of that which passes for money :. :.
We are informed that the Railroad meeting of
week before last, ut North McGregor, did
not result in any definite plan Of action. -.
Several of our heavy merchants are now
East, laying in large stocks of goods for the
Spring trade. .. GEO II. BARRETT, of Wau-
kesha, Wis, has removed his stock of Cloth
ing and Furnishing Goods to McGrcgor-
He is located in the room lately occupied by
w. A. Hawkins, one door cast of Scott 4
Brothers. ..SIGBERr & SrEINAM, of Prairie
du Chicn, have rented Kennedy's new store
room, and in few days they will fill it
with stock of Fancy and Staple Dry
Goods. Newell, Terry, and O'Brien are
each putting additions to their store houses,
to accommodate growing trade -.

LEATnER.-It is sometimes said "therc is
nothing like Leather but it seems there is
too much of it now in the country. The
New York Leather Merchants, representing
an interest of Ten Millions are addressing
circulars to the principal Tanners and Deal
ers suggesting mastery inactivity on hide
buying, thus forcing raw stock on the mar
ket and producing reduction in price
If the Tanneries are as active as usual the
approaching season many men will be ruin
ed by the low price of leather.
Ye that have hides prepare to sell them
now. ...

Mistakes.
We sometimes think our handsome CO.
temporary, the Dubuque Times, makes very
serious mistakes, in its political comments.
In late issue, expressing its qualification
on the (supposed) election of FORD, of Ohio,
to the National Partnership, it says ''Mr. F.
was once an American, and carly left that
party because of the pro-slavery proclivitics
Of it's leaders," 1t would seem, then, that
Mr.. Ford, though voted for by every Re-
publican in the House, has not lost any of
his hostile feeling toward .tore;gners, such
feeling being the vital principle upon which
Know Nothingism exists!
At another time our namesakc said that
if "DoUGLAs was nominated, the Republican
candidate would be after him as sharp as
ABE LINCOLN was in 1855" eve quote
from memory, but this was the substance.)
That the Republican candidate will be after
DOUGLAS as LINCOLN was, we havn't doubt;
but We not think PALMER intended to con-
vey the idea that DOUGLAS would be ahead,
unless, possibly, the writer of the squib had
\ fine appreciation of the enthusiasm of the
I irish sportsman. When le saw nie he-oo hs-
hind in the race: "Holy Nary" said the sx-
cited Celt, ''look at Bothsrem, how he dhrives
them all before him.

ClSpEkELLA.-In ages past by it was
supposed that the slipper of this lovely
maiden was one Of the most splendid works
of art which could be got up in fairy-land,
but had Cinderella lived to the present
time we are sure she would exchange her
famous slipper for the beautiful watch case
or holder which the Editor of this paper
has had the honor and the pleasure to re.
ceive from the skillfll hands of the Presi-
dent Of the McGregor Industrisl Associa-
ton.

The Fair.

The Fair.
This most interesting event came off, per
advertisement, on Wednesday and Thurs
day evenings of last week. A rich display
of goods, mostly in the fancy line, fine
supply of excellencies in the eating way, a
very large collection of lady and gentlemen
visitors, and a delightful exhibition of beau
tiful and accommodating statesmen % all
combined to render the Fair one of the
pleasantest attractions which our young city
has yet got up. The Post Office Depart
ment was Differed by two of the bellies of
the village, who handled the mails with a
facility that could not be cxcelled by the
best delivery clerk in New York or Boston.
A large amount of matter was received,
and but very little left on hand at the close
of the exhibition. Miss HlBBARD and Miss
HUNTING inform us in note that on the
two evenings they collected $6.40 for post
ages alone. The general managers report
the rncrint Of S17l "a Nett slts3O -s.
If space permitted, it would afford us
pleasure to detail the incidents of the eve-
ming, to describe some of the beautiful
needlework, to compliment the clerks, to
commend the liberality of half-a-dozen Of
our spirited young bachelors for the pur-
chase of such unreasonable articles Of do
mestic use as 1ibs, crying-babies (the worst
sort), pin-cushions, small stockings, cradle
quilts, &C., &C., but it is impossible to say
more than that the public are much pleased
with the Sewing Circle, and the ladies of
the Circle arc abundantly gratified with the
libcraIIty of the public. See Card.
