-Clark's big Indian, Kinnikinnick is
nearly decked with war paint, and it is un-
derstood generally that he is about to knock
down high prices; at least so we are in.
formed by AL. Wingate, interpreter. Par
ticulars Of the campaign will be published
by E. p. Clark, in next weeks TINES.
Competition in the sale of dry goods
caused by the arrival of Mckee & Brothers,
has been quite marked. Nc has stirred up
I our local dealers, (who by the way are
never very slow and as consequence
prices are down, and sales are materially
increased. People in the country who want
to get goods cheap, should look our columns
over and then come in and buy.
We are indebted to j. s. Sherman, Of
the celebrated Ro ;krord nurseries, per hand
Of NJ. w. Trott, the efficient general agent
for Northern Iowa, for some splendid aspar-
agus and pie plant, also flower lot with
fine thrifty "7riompe de mon Zogue"-
We learn with pleasure that Mr.. Sherman
is selling large quantities of trees, shrub.
berry, and plants, throughout the whole
northern portion of this state. There is
no good reason why we should not raise
fruit in Iowa for home consumption and
export. Practical experiments demonstrate
that nearly every fruit common to the TEN.
perate zone, fourishes well in this section
of the great Mississippi valley.
= Some citizens Of town having taken
exceptions to the conduct of Mr.. Harding,
of the American House Of this city, relative
to his t, eatment Of the british DR.. Rosen-
berg, he desires us to say that this same
doctor" on Saturday insultcd some of his
boarders, and he foreborc to set his trunks
out; but on hearing Of his infamous con-
duct on Monday, he gave him just five
minutes to leave the house. He says furth-
ermorc, that "he don't care d-n whether
anybody excerpts to his conduct or not :; he
did on the impulse Of the moment what he
thought proper, and on reflection approves
of it," We concur with him in the opin
ion that his action was cmincntly proper.
AT a meeting held at the Brick church
on the Goth ult., for the purpose of consd-
ering the Importance Of securing suitable
grounds for Cemetery on this side Of the
river. G. F. Remick, F. Richards, j. L.
Dearborn, G. F. Bell, and Robert Grant
were appointed committee to make an ex.
animation of localities, terms Of purchase,
&C., and report at an adjourned meeting
three weeks hence We trust that tn, i'm
portance of this subject will secure atten-
ton, and prompt action at this adjourned
meeting. There are Vulnerable beautiful
sites at various points in this vicinity which
would make fine cemetery grounds, and at
a tritling expense, make very attractive
places. The committee will doubtless have
an Interesting report in regard to this mat
ter, which vii. be worth hearing.
We have had the pleasure Of making
the acquaintance Of John Gharky Of the
West Union Pioneer-one Of the oldest
pioneer editors Of northern Iowa, and as
assiduous, industrious a worker as can be
found in the fraternity in Iowa, or the rest
Of the world. One week ago, Saturday
night, mob of men entered his Office,
broke his press and pied his type, throw.
ing some of it into the street. Since then
he has been gathering up the fragments
and putting his office into shape, and for
the first time in several years, as he informs
US, has taken peep at the world outside of
Fay cite county. The rowdics who have
offered this insult to him, have failed to in
timidate CT drive him from his lawful ayo-
| cations, and We trust when next attempting
work of this kind will be confronted with
the "knock down arguments" from which
there will be no appeal.
Col. j. B. Dorr, Of Dubuque, has OBJ.
tanned permission Of the war department
to raise another cavalry regiment from this
state, and in few days will be prepared to
receive men, Since the brilliant achieve
ments of Gen. Stoneman, and Col. Grier-
son, the government seems to have re.
awakened to the importance Of the cavalry
| arm Of the service, and with view of
Strengthening it for further usefulness,
have decided to call Tor an increase of one
hundred regiments. Col. Dorr, in his gen.
eral call upon the patriotism Of Iowa, says
he has "inyited number of experienced
officers who have performed gallant service
in the bloody battles where Iowa troops
have won immortal honor for themselves
and their state, TO assist in raising the reg
iment, and give them positions in ita field
officers and company commanders" This
will probably be the last volunteer regiment
raised in Iowa prior to the operations of the
CONSUMPTION act, and recruits will be cred.
tied on that to those counties and towns
which assist in its formation. -u.
| We are glad to state that St,ller
Hopkins & Co., late of Milwaukee, have
purchased the steam planning mill at the
head Of Ann and upper Main streets, ani
ere soon to enter largely into the manufac
turc Of rcapers, threshers, seed sewers
corn planters, etc. A better point in tn
whole country for the opening Of this kim
of business does not exist, and S.. II.

wise enough to discern and profit by the
fact. They are about to erect foundr!
