morGing, after an adjournment OF two dsys.
FoR SALE.-A large supply Of Demo
cratic Tickets, which. through cor overnight
we're not got into the ballot boxes on Satur-
day. as the returns sufficiently show.
GRAIN SnIPMkNTs.-The shipments
of grain from THE place during the week end
ing Saturday. footed up ct 4O,SSO bushels. A
pretty good weeks work.
YESTERDAY was bad time for pol.
iticisns to get out the voters. The wster
which fell was too much out Of their line 10
make it comfortable, a. it was only by taking
| internal Applications-not Of water-that they
survived till night.
+. B. WILKIE.-The Dubuque Times
announces that +. b. wilkie. Esq. who for sew.
ersl years has been officiating a. local Of the
Herald, has left that paper. We hope there is
some mistake about that, for Wilkis is . csp.
tel hard at the "local and We think we should
miss him.
DULL.--Saturday was one OF those
days which people don't like to see. An occa-
sionsl candidate could be seen now and then
dragging On unwilling voter through the mud
like lamb to the slaughter. Merehants had
. first rate time to take breath and strsighten
up their goods for . fair etart to-day.
WuIsLER's Day GooDs SroRE.-We
direct the attention Of the public to the advei-
tisem ent Of G. s. Whistler. His stock is com.
plsts aud worthy Of daily inspection by those

Whis er's. and call often. Remember the place
No 8 LeClaire Row.
WADswoRTH will open on Monday
morning splendid assortment Of Fancy Dress
Silke, Lace Mantlss, Stella Shawls. Travelling

les, and many other styles OF Goods too numer-
Gus 10 mention. Call at No. 20 West Second
street.
The polls in the different wards we're
conducted in a peaceful and quiet manner.
With the single objection that too many votes
we're polled. We have no fault to find. The
candidates we're perfectly sober through the
day on the Democratic side. and unusually so
on the Republican side That is commsndable
all round.
VERY WET WEATnER.-The kind OF
weather which We have been experiencing for
q few days past is not such as will help the
farming community. The ground is now pref
ty thoroughly soaked. and it will require at
leaet one week of good sunshine to put it in
condition for sowing and planting. We trust
the rainy season will not be Of long duration.
Our CITY TRADE.-The present is
said to be a grand improvement on the past
are selling more goods, taking 10 more money.
and are proepering more generally than bas
been the case for = year or two past. The
stocks offered here this Spring are large aud
desirable, and we are told that, with the excep-
ton Of rainy days, Of course. that the sales are
large and encouraging. Whether there 10
cha nge-s good opening here for more mer'
chsnts-is a question which admits Of doubt.
We are inclined to the belief that the demand
and eupply here is pretty evenly balanced. and
that it would not be advisable to open up ma
ny more houses at treeent We woulG like to
see every s,ors in the city filled with goods,
but in our opinion it would only prove disss.
trous to those who embarked in the business.
As fast - the healthy demand for merchandise
increases, just 90 fast the goods should be
brought for ward. To crowd this matter Is but
to produce reaction. and in many cases ruin.
We are pleased 10 see matters wearing 60 f.
vorsbls an aspect At present, and hope the
same condi lion will continue With u.s.
