Circuses.

Circuscs.
After a vacation" of two years, our
town is to be enlivened by brace of Cir
cuses. COOKIES comes first, and we are
told it is an extremely creditable troupe
The performers are strangers to us, and it
is not in our power to speak of their
ability from actual observation. We have
no doubt they are all right.
ANTONIO BRoTnERs is company of long
standing, and widely known throughout
the Northern States. Their performances
throughout Wisconsin, as we observe by
our exchanges, have been most enthusiastic
cally applauded, and personal knowledge
of the eminent artists who make up the
company, enables us commend them to the
patronage of that portion of the public
that believe in the philosophic and blues
killing adage, "a little nonsense, now and
then, is rclished by the wisest men,"
Cut off as We are from the enjoyment of
theatrical pleasures, and believing as we
do that one good hearty laugh is worth
more to us than barrel of "briny tears"
we deliberately advise men, women and
children to waste day and spend few
shillngs at the Circuses. You will live
little longer by it, and have as much money

! State Convention.


The Democratic State Convention, at
Des Moines, was largely attended, most OF
the counties being fully represented
Clayton, as usual, was not known there by
delegate; not very creditable to us, by
the way, but we are so far from Des
Moincs that it seems like leaving America
to get to it.
The proceedings fill three columns of the
State Journal, and resolution passed re-
questing all the Democratic papers in the
State to publish in full. This we cannot
afford to do. We seldom publish the de-
tails Of any Convention because, first, they
take up too much space, and, secondly, we
think they are generally drawn out in de-
scription to about four times the necessary
length.
Amos Harris, Of Appanoose county, was
Chairman, and j. NJ. Reid, of Des Moines,
Secretary. The usual number of Vice
Presidents and Assistant Secretaries was
appointed. Committees on Credentials
and an organization were set to work, and
the Convention began its labor. j. B.
Dorr was Chairman of the Committee on
Resolutions, and about one dozen excellent
ones were reported and adopted. DOUGLAS
was endorsed. The Seceders ticket was
ignored, all compromise with them on an
electoral ticket was rejected, &c. We will
publish the platform, State and National,
next week. The reader can see by the
ticket, at the head of this page of the
Times, who the nominees are; it may in
tcrcst them to know what other candidates
were voted for by the Convention. John
H. Craig was voted for as State clector.-
Thos. Macon, j. II. Craig, j. II. d. Street,
NJ. l.. Fisher, JAS. Batey, and II. E. j.
Boardman, were supported for District
Electors. c. d. Bevington was supported
for Secretary of State, R. II. Sylvester for
Auditor, A. p Richardson for Treasurer.

BUSINESS CHARr.-BARroN, Of Dubuque
formally of the Herald office has got up an
excellent Business Chart" of McGregor.
1t does credit alike to him and to those who
engaged his services in the enterprise; but
there are less than half the business houses
Of the city represented. MeGregor is get
ting too large to be exhibited on q mere
CHART; it will require Directory in the
Spring of 1861 and we hope to have the
pleasure of getting it up. Mr.. Barton will
distribute 500 of his Charts west and north
west; the result will be highly beneficial to
our growing young city.

SUPPLEMENT-Our large advertising IA
vors still compel US to issue an eight-column
Supplement to the Times. We do not
know if it will be possible to dispense with
it until circumstances enable US to purchase
ten column power press; the increase of
our circulation is such that necessity will
ere long compel us to find some other
means than hand-press to work off our
large edition. We now give a large amount
of reading matter and yet run trentv sac
columns of advertising. The advertising
in the Supplement is all changed semi
monthly into the regular paper and cas-
tern readers of the Times who advertise
with us are assured that their favors are in
our columns each week. We do not send
the Supplement- east because the object of
business notices is to reach the home read
ers (here) and the country tributary to US

NndJ correspondent is too lengthy for the sub.
ject. 1t is exceedingly well written. a little too
slow in coming to be interesting to the adve.,

would be glad if the writer would favor US oc.
casionalIy. We may yet publish extracts from
the letter in question.

in our paper last week and by an oversight
we omitted to call attention to it. How
ever, Mr.. r. is too well and favorably known
to the Iowa public to need notice at our

MILWAUKEE ELECTIONS. election
lately occurred in Milwaukee for City Trea-
surer, which resulted in the choice of q
Republican. The nominee of the Demo-
Gratis was personally unpopular, and his
opponent was not only very popular, but
conceded to be competent and honest, and
the result was that many Democrats voted
for the Republican candidate, and others
did not vote at ALL The Republican papers
of Milwaukee do not claim it as party
victory, as the city is conceded to be for
Douglas by an overwhelming majority
Those papers that seek to make Republican
ccpital out of this election betray lament
able lack of truth, and verify the old adage,

Home Matters.
Mr. Goble, the Agent of NJ. s. Robinson,
Of Dubuque, informs us that it is RS de-
sign to establish an Agricultural warehouse
at McGregor this Fall, to be ready for an
other years trade. Isaac NJ. Frank of
Lyons, is opening Clothing Store in Nc
Craney's auction room, near D. S. Cooks
store. ). Mr.. Lee of Clinton county, Iowa,
is opening Grocery and Family supply
store in the room lately occupied by A. w.
Hibbard. Mr.. Powers of Madison, Wis,
has rented Ellsworth's room west of Cooks.
for mercantile purposes. . . "A Chicago firm
will fill Scott & Brothers old store room
with Clothing, Boots & Shoes, and staple
Dry Goods. ). Mr.. Goodman of Lacrosse,
has rented the present auction room of
Ketchum & Sperry, and will fill it soon with
heavy stock Of Ready Made Clothing and
Furnishing Goods. Here are five new stores
to be added to our mercantile corps within
ten days. The city for week past has been
unusually well supplied with strangers
looking up locations and forming business
connections. Among the Milwaukee gen.
tlemen whom we have met arc Minckler, of
the Grocery House of A. Gunnison, Tru-
man Hibbard, Horton, of Horton & Fowler,
Nichols, of Nichols, Britt & Co., Green, of
Green & Button, j. w. Hoyt, (Joe) Elmore,

bacco House of L. j. Hobart 4 Co., and
some others whose names are not remem-
bered. Mr.. Sampson, formerly of the
firm of Sampson & Gibson of DEBORAH, has
planted Lumber Yard on the fiat below
the foot of Main street ..Burdick of
Chippewa, and Pond & Coleman of the
same place, have over one million feet Of
lumber in two RATS lying above the ware
houses Of Bluff street. These RATS will
probably be sold here at wholesale or re-
tail. Mr. Coleman informs us that lumber
will not be abundant this Fall, owing to the
very short supply Of logs at the mills above
The Chippewa Mills, for instance, will cut
only SIX to eight million OF feet this year,
against sixteen millions last With heavy
stocks on hand our neighbors west will
guess that McGregor is the place to get
building material. .. Mr. Jackson, formerly
of this place and Dyersville, died recently

it near his store at the head of Main street !;

1t is with some business firms as it is with
some individuals, that they stand alone in
the walk or department of trade to which
they direct their attention. 1t becomes a
speciality with them, and by making it such,
they carry it to the highest perfection of
which it i capable. This is the case with
the Messrs. Fairbanks, the celebrated scale
makers. They have devoted themselves so
entirely, and with such thorough science
and skill, to the manufacture of weighing
instruments, that they seem to have left
nothing to be done by others.-N. Y. Ecen-

It is by thus attending to every demand
in the wide world that this house has become
