RATHER CooL BUT AcooxnopATIse.-
We learn from the Dubuque Times that
John Il. Wallace, Muscatine Copper
head, sent word the other day to the edi.
tor Of the Muscatine Journal that he would
oowhlds him if hewas ever attacked per.
sonally in his paper again. The editor
replies by exposing Mr.. Wallace's disloy.
atty, giving him several severe cuts, and
then ends BY very politely informing tb.
gentleman that the Courier Office is oper
from .. m. to l p. M, and that there i.
no man in Muscatine that be would rath.

A TEXAS RAsoER.--A Union refugee
from Texas found his way to our Office
yesterday. after long and wearisome
foot-march through the border settle
ments of our western country. His ven
lures by land and water, and hair breadth
escapes, would form an interesting chap.

congratulate our friend on his successful
escape from the land Of cen tipedes, taran-
tulas, horned frogs, and semi-ciyilized Sc
csssionists who successfully rival their
Mexican neighbors in all the dangers and
disquiet Of revolutionary society.
LARGE EsTABLIsHMENT.--I we should
allow an opportunity to pass without max
ing mention of an extensive business,
built up by an enterprising man, we
would not be doing the reputation Of our
city justice. When Mr.. Bridges frs,
commenced business in this city, he had
to compete with four or FIVE other jewel.

GRAPE GROWING,


1t is well known that citiacrs Of Nau.
VOC and Fort Madison hYye be-. fsr 81,
eral years extensively rttgagec IA rrri.g
growing and wine nakn. AT, and near
each Of these points, large quantities Of
wine have bcen made for the last two
years at enormous profits. In one of tie
vineyards referred to, consisting Of about
two and half acres, the net proceeds Of
the grape cror TOR the last year was elev.
en- hundred and fifty dollars. In more
extensive vineyard the net avail for the
last year was over six thousand dollars
While there are but few localities Of the
earth, comparatively speaking, where
grapes can be cultivated to great advant.
age, an experience Of some Eve years has
demonstrated that the soil and climate OF
Southern Iowa. and its contiguous parts
of Illinois, can hardly be excelled in its
adaptation for the culture of the grape
and the manufacture Of choice wine, BY
the most favored portions of Italy and
Germany.
A person of moderate means, who would
put himself to the trouble of learning how
to plant and grow the grape, a thing very
readily done) could, by putting couple
ofacres in grapes in any Of the hills around
heokuk, in the course OF four or five wears
seeun himself splendid income Of IN
average, at the worst, of from six hum
dred to eight hundred dollars year
Plenty Of suitable ground can be bought
ct q rate not to exceed fifty dollars an
acre, and BY proper economy it will not
cost over $3.50 an acre to enclose the
ground and prepare it for the reception Of
the vines and in planting them.
Lee Hull, of Fort Madison, has sold
forty thousand vines to be set out in the
vicinity Of that place this spring, aud it
is understood that at and 10 the vicinity
of Nauvoo over one hundred thousxo nd
vines have been set out the present
spring.
Within five or six miles of Keokuf
there are probably 500 acres of ground
suitable for the grape culture. If that
were cultivated in grapes, and each acre
should net only $500 year the agsre-
gate amount Of profit would be $l50, ,000
year. With such invitations to wealth
in our midst, why wander to the gates OF
California?

who died at the hospital were buried with
military honors. There has been but
very few deaths occurred in our hospitals
this spring-these being the fourth only
during the past month, which, consider
ing the great number there is under treat
ment, reflects great credit on our Surgeons
and those under whose care they are
placed.

"a QUILTING. We recollect when n
boy way down east it was great thing
to 60 TO an apple bee. The thing Of
sinking up spirited competition with
Nancy Jane on our right, or Susan Maria
on our left divided the labor by halves
and quarters, and increased the fun in the
inverse ratio,--while We considered our.
selves, and the fact was generally admit.
ted, that we were "a regular pseler."
But ha iHstitation hs. passed off the
stage Of action long ago, and nov the con.
dit'on of the country IN all its relations to
society has introduced q new order of
things. Aid societies. union socials, and
now at last cuttings afford the ladies Of
the land, and their gentlemen friends who
are out Of the army for being too old or
too young, too delicate or toe robust, too
tlmld or too rash, an opportunity to spend
an evening pleasantly snd at the same
time keep along the cause.
Lastevening MeCune's Hall was ,hrung.

ishing up those quilts for our Iowa boys
and nothing else and right we'll was the
time improved. The ladies' fingers KEEP.
up with. if indeed they did net outstrip
that "unruiy member" which Won know
goes, now and then, at such a terrible
rate. and the gentlemen, with an eve sim
gle 10 the work, could readily thread a
needle or tie knot, or at least consent 10
a knot being tied. SO that by one and the
other the quilts were all off at an early
hour When there is any more quilting
to be done we know Of several who expect
