THE CITY.
SEE notice to owners of hogs in an.
other column.
SOME NArLs.-H. 3. Evans L. Co.
we're putting in store yesterday. eight hundred
kegs Of nails Just received from Wheeling,
Virginia.
THE LAsr.-All should bear in mind
that the last Theatre Of the season will come
off next Monday evening No time nor ex.
pense will be spared to make this the most
entertaining Of any yet.
PoRcNE.-The Marshal wishes US to
state that oil those hogs now running ct large,
whether they have got rings in their snouts
or not. must be put up. This is an imperative
order At the next Council meeting the hog
ordinance may be changed.
D. T. U.-A special meeting Of the
D. 7. U. will be held on (this) Saturday eve.
ming. At Z o'clock, at the Office Of the DINO.
GRAFT AND News. Az business Of importance
will be transacted. full attendance Of the
printers Of the city is expected.
By order of the President.
P1L1NG lN.-Todd is receiving the
largest and best selected stock of Boots,
Shoes ard Caters, for ladies, gentlemen and
children, ever opened in Davenport His
numerous customers will continue to find his
goods of the very best quality. He never
buys anything else. just go and see.
AMBER 1owA.-That grade Of wheat
known ae the Northern Club" has been re.
Gently rechristened by the directors Of the
Board Of Trade. "Amber Iowa." This is
pleasing compliment to this State. We ob.
serve that some Of our milers are getting up
their brands to conform with the new and
very appropriate name.
GUESS Nor.-Tho young moon-struck
simpleton Who sent ns tw" pasAs of trash
that he calls poetry, with request to print, is
informed that it he wants to get situation to
shovel muck out of a dirty alley. we will speak
to the Marshal about it. Far be it from us to
discourage literary effort, but when 1t comes
to addressing gushing girlhood under the
styls Of "fare seeks" we are down on the fel-
low nconditionally.
OUrRAcEoUs.-The next thing worse
than stealing mans COW is to main or dis
figure her. A few nights since some brutish
scoundrel cut off the tail Of Mr. J. NJ. Dnnns
cow-for what earthly cause the owner is at a
loss to imagine. As he has no enemies to his
knowledge, he is forced to the conclusion that
the fiendish act was committed ont of pure
malice. The rerpetrator of the deed, if ever
discovered, will be made to sweat for this
outrage.
FISHING parties appear to be the or
der Of the day just now. "The Rocks are
thronged from early dawn until dark by the
devotees of tho lamented Mr.. Walton. Fish
ing poles find ready sale, and in passing along
the streets one has to keep sharp look out or
he will find himself minus an eye. Petticoats
predominant on ell the fishing grounds, and
are undoubtedly as much an attraction as the
sport of hooking the scaly inhabitants of the
Father of Waters.
SOME ExpLANAnoN.-We spoke of an
instance Of dog killing yesterday morning.
stating that the first dog checked in the town
had been killed. There is mistake about 1t.
The first dog checked belonged to Mr.. Tile.
bsin. but the dog for which the first check was
drawn Is alive and we'll. There was another
dog belonging to the same person. but which
answers to q different name. and was poisoned
at the corner of Main and Fourth streets, and
in due form Of law. There 10 no chance for
argument about it we are convinced.
VERY GAY.-At no season of the
year would . stranger form . more correct
and satisfastory opinion of our beautiful city
than at present. The streets and walks are
clean and in good order, and the many beau-
tiful shade trees which embellish them are
arrayed In their most attractive spring cos
tune. Taking observations Of our town from
q distant eminence, one would think large
portion OF it was noble grove rather than a
collection Of houses. No other city in the
State can begin to bring ont the quantity oi
shade trees and shrubbery that is now luxu.
rating here. It is one Of the best advertise.
ments Of the city, and our people are begin.
ming to appreciate the fact.
TAKE A RIDE If you have not got
q horse and buggy of Jour own, patronize
the livery stables-they should be patronized
about this time--get . team and take ride
into the country. Now is the time to do Il.
The entire vegetable kingdom 10 in its glory
the trees are in full lsaf-mother earth haa
put down her best emerald carpet, especially
for visitors-every shrub 10 out in ito lovliest
attire, the priaris grass and the groves are full
Of flowers which peep out to gladden. the hearts
