uuinterruptedly ; indeed, the producer
will hardly allow our buyers to go to churcl
like good christians on Sunday. Every
body who comes to town says It is the bust
est little city they ever saw, and "wha
everybody says is true.". Corporal Hunt
ting, who had his left arm shot away at thu
battle of Blue Mills, Mo-, arrived in town
with Mayor Hobart, last week. Our young
friend looks quite we'll considering thu
great loss of blood which he sustained, ant
tina exposure succeeding the battle. He i:
still full of fight; his right arm remains
and with it he can still WELD trusty sword
or use death.tealing Colt Che was the
crack pistol shot Of the company.) Hunt
ting says the rebel surgeon, in whose hands
he first fell, after giving him royal cursing
dressed his wounds quite tenderly. Ma,
McKinnie-everybody knows Mats re-
ceiving piles Of stoves embracing some very
desirable patterns Some Of his box stoves
are large enough to heat large town house
and thaw the hearts Of regiment Of cold
blooded misanthropcs. .. The annual rent
ing Of pews for the Congregational Church
will take place on Thursday evening Of this
week, at the church. :. Friend Koss, one
door cast Of Cones at the sign Of the big
collar has received and manufactured the
largest stock of harness, saddles, etc, that
has ever been seen in this pocket city. His
stock of collars is particularly excellent,
and will fit any beast from the size of a
Shetland pony to the full grown quadruped
which stands sixteen hands high, Then there
are buffalo robes, whips, ct i'd omne genus,
and q"itc good stock of leather. Mr.. K.
es no laggard, and his enterprise has built
up very fourishing business within the
past few years. -. The Winneshiek boys
came in town without any fuss, and pro-
ceeded straightway to temporary quarters
in Mozart Hall, and on two hours notice had
a good supper at the McGregor House,
Durham is prepared for emergencies Of that
kind. =. VIA geese in this vicinity seem
to be unconscious Of any cold weather in
the future. Some squads fly north others
south. . A Dubuque correspondent Of the
Chicago Tribune says Dubuque is not a
secession city. Very we'll; Of course it
amt; who said it was p. Capt. Sladden,
Of Company c has been home on brief
visit to his family he returned on Mon
day. The Captain informs us taat there is
room in Company e for sixteen or seven
teen recruits who can step right into good
positions at once, and be benefited by the
military experience Of their conrades.-
Lieut. Leffingwell, has quite recovered his
heath and went back to the company also
on Monday. The Iowa Sd will soon be
ordered to active service. The boys have
shown themselves to be composed Of good
stuff, and they cannot long be spared from
hard work We trust they will be provi
ded with clothing before they start, such as
they deserve and should have had months
ago. >. w. A. Giles has received larg. ad
ditions to his stock of silver ware, and jew
elry within the past few days. He has also
opened several cases Of violns, piccolos,
flies, guitars, and a large assortment of
toys and Souvenirs for holiday presents.
Our young friend will have to enlarge his
business quarters. He has not room to dis
play one half of the stock which he now
has, and what he will do with that which is
still to come, we know not. All! we have
it. Quick sales; small profits war prices;
these will keep one hand selling as fast as
the other can unpack. That's what's the
matter or any other man. No little Won
dermest has been expressed by many of
our citizens, as to the nature of the f1eecy,
cloudy, foggy appearance of the shore of
the east bank Of the river nearly opposite
this point. We have dispatched our imp
on reconnaissance, and he reports that the
substance which has given rise to so much
conjecture, is nothing more nor less than
some $4,000 bags of Union wheat, left
there by steamers to be forwarded by rail
to Milwaukee. .Babcock 4 Powers, of
the Clayton Co. store, have removed their
stock Of Dry Goods and general merchan-
disc to the store room one door east of their
old location, and have just opened several
cases Of new goods which are going off at
a rate which makes the purchase of another
stock an apparent necessity this fall
Hammerslough Rothers have opened an.
other stock Of clothing in the store just
vacated by Messrs. Babcock & Powers.
