looked for now at any hour. The sooner the

LIEUT.. MAcKENNE.-We saw a letter
yesterday from Lieut.. ". s. Mackenzie. Of
this city. who nsw belongs in the 18th Mis-.
souri, regiment-one Of those that fought SO
bravely At the battle Of Pes Ridge. He is
well aud hearty, and as We have previously
stated came out unscathed. In consequences
Of the sickness Of his Captain, Mackenzie was
10 commend Of his company during the entire
engagement. and we doubt not did himself
honor. He intimstss that matters looked
pretty sqsslly for while during the progress
Of the battle. but the timely arrival Of General
Sigel put fresh strength and courage into the
command. a
ONE HORSE GRoCERY.--At 1O4 Bra.
dy stret, bet wsen Fourth and Fifth. we notice
sign painted on fine French ;ylsss-the word
One. stands at the top; next is the picture Of
horee. which tbose who know will recognize
IS the Smoker Boy. formerly owned by Mr..
Cannon; below that is the wo-d Grocery. 1t
is intended to read-One Horse Grocery The
sign 10 neatly executed. and is the work of c.
d. Cline. and, if we are not much mistaken,
the taste and skill Of Mr.. Kayser stcks cut all
over It.
1t looks like very humble pretensions 10 al.

DIssoLvED.-Most of our citizens

was called. For some five or elk years, 10 |
kept saloon in this city /; his last place Of
business Was at the corner Of Front aud Brady !
streets. Jo used to have nuch trouble in lis |
domestic relations. His first wife was not true !
to the marital vows and left JOS bed and |
board. and he got a divorce. The second put |
an end to her own existence by taking poison.
10 married again. and that the very devil vas
to pay in the household is o matter of history
among the neighbors and police. He sold out !
and went to Chicago, where he has been few |
months. In the Chicago Times, of Thursday, |
We notice tho announcement that the Superior
Court, now in session at that place. sew cred |

again. Hsbitual drunkenness was proven |
against the erring Catherine.
Col. WENrz's MoNUMENT.-We no.
ticed yesterday. at the shop Of Messrs. McCosh |

erected over the grave of the late Lieut. COL |
Wentz. 1t is about eight feet in teight-ris-

wrought bases, which are snrmounted with a |
gorgeously futed column about six feet 10 !

ter marble cutters than Davenport is heir to, |
and none can furnish them at q smaller re-.
muneration. We make these assertions VII |
out fear of successful contradiction. The in
dividual who goes to Chicago for any thing 10 !

thereby. not only labors to the disadvantage |
of his own interest, but 10 that of others, by |
Withdrawing money unnecessarily from our
