BLUsTERING.-Marc came in with

the damage Of trade. II the old adage proves
true. the latter end of the month will be de
lightful.

Pension AND Bounty AGENcY.-We
call particular attention to the card of Messrs.
Parker & Edwards. in another column. They
offer their services to soldiers and others who
have war claims Of any character to be looked

patronize this concern.

are numerous and troublesome. Between the
Junction and Muscatine the drifts were 60 bad

was cent West in the evening. There was no
DELAY on the Eastern road.

order went forth from the War Department to
