"@ LOCAL DEPARTMENT.
GA frost occurred Monday night in
Montpelier township, which, it is said, ruined
the fruit entirely. Singular that we had none
here.
HThe people Of Davenport arc making
preparations to receive three hundred sick
and wounded soldiers in that city.
GONE EAsr.-The Editor-in- Chief left on
the train yesterday afternoon for short tour
through the East He will probably be alb
sent about two weeks.
~ The fishing down the slough is said to
be excellent. Those that are born under
lucky star we would advise to go in" All
those who are not had better employ them
selves at something more particularly their
style.
New GROCERY SroRE.-Cur old friend Fred
Tape, has opened his grocery store on Sec
ond street, one door East of Union Block.

kept in connection with the establishment.

no way to serve a brother quill because he
gets the better Of you. We're sorry you've
flashed on US so we are. We won't have

LIEUT.. HENNE.-This distinguished officer,
who lost his leg at the battle of Pea Ridge,
Ark.-his arm having been previously taken
off by . cannon ball in one the European
wars-arrived at his home in Davenport,
last Monday. Lieut. Henne accompanied
the Iowa First all through Missouri, last sum-
mer, although he had been refused by the
mastering officer at Keokuk.
Who KNows?-The dog law provides that
Is cents shall be paid for the killing of each
unregistered dog, but requires no proof Of the
act Any man so disposed can claim pay for ,
dog killing and get it, we presume, whether
he has killed any or not. The law seems to !
have been framed with but little considera- .
ton, and, in its present shape, might well be s
dispensed with. !;
PERSONAL---VERY.. B. F. jackson, Ol Cosn-
pany D, 18th regiment, passed through this \
city yesterday on his way to Msrengo where !
his friends reside. Lieut.. Jackson is just re- :
covering from an attack of fever contracted o
by exposure to the inclement weather. He @
reports the health of the army improving as f
it moves away from the river, the water be-
ing much better. T
Could've won't write weather article, v
IS the Clerk of that institution plays off on +
US every time we blow him up, but We will a
suggest that if he don't mend his ways and a
infuse little more csloric into the atmos- d
phere generally, he may get the Washing q
ton Democrat after him, and then we guess h
he would be in pradicament and no mis- U
take. r
LOOK OUT FOB THrx.- Counterfeit SIS on
the Oskaloosa Branch of the State Bank of
Iowa are in circulation in this city. They '
are exceedingly well executed, and calculated c
to deceive nine persons out Of ten. The pa o
per on which they are printed is slightly in b
ferior to to the genuine, and the whole bill is '
dim-the lines not being so fully developed n
~ they should be. Otherwise, it is q fec c
simils Of the simon-pure bill. U
ART.-Wm. Barkalow, who has spent sew I
eral months in the photograph gallery of our l
friend Evans, contemplates establishing a /
gallery in the Aourishing village of Atalissa, t
in the Western part of this county. Wehope {
be will meet with liberal patronage, as he
can take picture as we'll as his tutor or any
other man. He recently "got US up" in
variety Of styles, any Of which, considering
the subject, are first-rate productions
IMPRoyExENrs.-Stepsa are being taken to
lower Iowa Avenue several inches, thus
transforming that street into mill-race to
carry off the superfuous water from the
creek which comes out a. the corner of the
Avenue and Third street. This we regard
as the most legitimate improvement of the
age 1t is much better to turn one street
into water course than to have half dozen
flooded by every rain that occurs. Give our
city chance and we will yet settle the nu-
merous creeks that are bent on running US.
a. The dog law must be enforced by the
township officers, and any neglect on their
part makes them liable to fine Of ten dollars
for each conviction. Thus it will be seen
that although the law is a humbug there is
no option left with the officer. He must
make the dogs bleed or bleed himself
Again, any person harboring any unregis-
tered dog must pay the fine Olive dollars
No dodge will save the owners of the CANNES
and the only resource is to walk up to the
captains Office and settle.
