NoTICE TO SUBscRIBERs-Wc have discon
tinued a number of our subscribers who have
failed to comply with our terms. Those who
miss their paper this week may, therefore
understand the cause. This course is an abso
lutte financial necessity on our part, as we find
it impossible to buy paper and meet other
expenses of the office and at the same time
give credit on subscriptions.

RAMA much-needed shower of rain came
up Wednesday afternoon. The day had been
exceedingly hot, and vegetation looked as
though it could not hold out much longer
under the parching effects of the sun.
BuRaLARY.-Mrs Bohn, residing on Fourth
Street, was robbed of a gold watch worth $50,
one night last week, by some one who enter
ed the house through a door which had been
left open in consequence OF the warm weather
EY. Mrs Woodburn, whose small frame
residence on Mr.. Fosters premises was burn
ed last week, claims to have lost two gold
watches and considerable amount of money
in the fire. She is left in destitute circum-
stances.
PUBLIC RECEPTION TO THE RETURNING NoL-
UNrEERs.-The Davenport Gazette proposes
a public reception to Capt VENTS company
from that city in the First Regiment, on their
return home. We hope some move will be
made to honor in like manner our two compa-
MES on their return to this city. Who will
take the matter in hand?
APPLES AND TOMATOES ROASTED BY TIE
HEAT OF THE SUN-It has been stated to us
by several persons cognizant of the fact thai,
during the warm weather of last week, apples
hanging on the trees and tomatoes on vines,
were literally roasted on the side next to the
sun. Notwithstanding the hot weather, how
ever, the corn crop appears to be doing well
except on dry, sandy soil.
CAMP MERriNG-A camp meeting, con-
Quoted by the Methodlsts, is to commence on
Friday next, at the we'll known grounds six
miles from the city. on the road leading to
Overman's Ferry. We are requested to state
that nothing will be allowed to be sold ex-
cept at the licensed boarding tent within
the distance prescribed by law, which is one
mile from the camp ground.
RESOLUTIONS OF THE RIFLEs.-We have re-
ceived but unfortunately mislaid copy Of the
resolutions adopted by the members Of Capt.
Reeds Rifle Company, on reception Of the
havelocks sent them by the ladies of Musca-
tine. They express the warmest gratitude
and declare that the patriotic devotion of the
ladies inspires them with new zeal and cour'
age in the cause in which they are enlisted
The havelocks were received in the nick OF
time-iust before the hot weather set in.
WWe judge from the dispatches con-
corning the last battle in Missouri that the
Muscatine volunteers were not engaged in it,
although they were on the ground. This is
the third time they have missed their hearts
desire-to have tilt at the enemy. The
brave fellows have performed long and wearl-
some marches, but will probably have to come
home without having had an opportunity to
test their nerve and skill on the battle field.
DEATH OF TWO MUscATINE VOLUNTEERS
A letter has been received in this city by the
wife of serg't jackson, from her husband
who was recently detailed to visit boonvihe
