Mystery NJ Mc:.regOr.

Mystery at Mc:.regOr.
One day last week bachelor merchant
of McGregor, of mature age and steady
habits, had occasion to pass into his bed
room adjoining the store. His astonish-
ment may be imagined when he discovered
in his bed, wrapped in sleep and long
white gown, a child only few weeks old !!
Macbsth's fright at seeing the ghost of
Banquo, Hamlet's horror when "the shade
of Denmark's King" confronted him, Bel
shazzar's trembling guilt when he saw the
handwriting ON the wall were small circum.
stances compared with the terror which the
sight of this little innocent inspired. True,
our friend was not weighed down with con-
sciousness Of guilt-the icicles on Dian's
temple Cf this 95 degree weather has per-
mittcd any to remain there) are not more
pure than. he, but then the thought rolled
Ger his soul that he was the victim of other
parties and this it was which Frustrated his
nervous organizat on. Staggering to the
bedside and gazing intently on the sleeping
lump of incipient man or girlhood, he tried
to fashion its petite features to the resem-
blance of some one of his male or female
acquaintances when the babe opened its
"dear blue eyes" and reached up its little
hands as if to its natural protector! Un.
manned completely by the instinct which
seemed to claim paternal relationship with
himself the half-crazed man left the room,
entered the st. Nicholas and in a state of
phrenzy called on "Uncle Sam" for q
XXX Gin ocktail-swallowed it at a
gulp and took to the river. Seeing Capt.
Sherwin at the wharf he decided to cross
the raging Mississippi and compare the re-
lativc merits Of enlistment in the army to
suicide. On returning to the Iowa side,
undetermined as to the future, he entered
the store resolved to take on, more look at
the waif which Miss Fortune had thrown
upon his hands. A lady was buying goods
of his clerk. She turned pleasantly to him
and said: "Mr., my baby was restless and
| laid him in your bed while ran abou,
town shopping. hope you'll pardon me y
The mystery was out. The riddle was
read. The baby was accounted for. No.
body was hurt. No reputation was com.
promised. A bad heavier than Colum.
bad was lifted from his soul. He could
have pressed that country lady to his hear,
as his saviour. 1t was difficult to repress
desire to embrace her, but bachelor mod.
esty triumphed and gleam of alteration
only was the response which his eyes gave
her. Quietly Withdrawing from the cause
and the cure of his late agony he retired to
mediate on the strangeness of human
events. The extra quantity of gin he had
inbibed had been kept inactive by the extra
quantity Of mental excitcment-the trouble
being now removed the gin, asserted its
power and he was probably the tightcst
man for the next six hours that ever drank
a cock tail in Nc regor.

From private letter written by Lieut..
Letfingwell, now in camp at Keokuk, dated
June Goth, we make the following extracts :
Our first regimental parade was held on
the 10th, under the command of senior Capt.
Heron, at which time from the excessive
heat seven men fell in tae ranks. All soon
recovered and are now well and in good
spirits.
There arc two questions which every man
feels himself morally obligated to ask of ev-
cry commissioned officer three times a day.
The first is, 'when are our arms coming ~
and the second, with perhaps a variation
in the quality and quantity of tone is, when
is our pay coming?"
They are now very orderly; a few cases
of discipline have had a very salutary effect,
and all are beginning to learn that order is
not only the first law of nature, but the
supreme law of the army.
We shall probably go into camp life the
first of next week, (our tents are now here
when we shall commence drilling in the
school of the battalion.
AS yet We have no regimcntal officers ap.
pointed by the Governor. The senior
Captains have been acting as such-Capt.
Heron as Colonel, Capt. Stone as Leuten.
ant Colonel, and Capt. Sladden, as Major
and your humble servant as Captain of the
Clayton Co. Volunteers. We are Compa-
ny c Of the 81 regiment.
Tell the ladies of McGregor that we are
the Color Company, and that the banner
they gave us is the rallying banner of a
thousand men, the battle banner of the reg
iment, and that the boys say that they may
bring it back with bullet holes through it
but no dust on it.
Part Of our uniforms have come but have
not yet been distributed. The boys will be
paid off Saturday by the State.
Keokuk is very pleasant, quiet place,
with some very fine buildings-one of the
most desirable residences in the place is
that Of Col. Curtis, at whose house passed
three hours Of last evening very pleasantly.
Rather good joke was played off on the
boys on their way down. The Canada
stopped at Gutenberg to enable the delega
ton from that place to see and bid good
bye to their friends. While there barrel
of beer was rolled aboard Tor the boys-a
donation from Sergeant Shroedsr--but at
night the hands on the boat took out the
buns, poured out and appropriated the beer
filled the barrel with water, and then charg-
ed the people Of Gutenberg with selling the
boys. After the swearing boys had cx.
pressed themselves in their own way, We
laughed over the matter as good joke, and
it passed off very good naturedly.
Yours, &C.,
DOUGLAS LEFFINGwELL.

Life insurance.
Those desiring this safest aud cheapest protccr
tion Tor their families, can secure it in our
Wisconsin Company. 1t has already become,
in reality, State institution, having Agents
and patrons among the best business men in all
the principal towns in the State. 1t is no lon.
ger matter of doubt that Life Insurance can
be conducted as well in Wisconsin as in Connec.
ticut or any other Eastern States.
Thus while duty demands that men should
insure their lives, it also demands that they
should keep their money for investment al
home. Confident that our success has beer
more than equal to that OF the most "unprece
