l.. splendid assortment of Optical Instruments
which he will dispose of at greatly reduced
prices his goods being all of the very latest i'm
provements in manufacture, consisting of a very
large variety of Spectacles from the most common
to the very best, viz: The finest quality of Gold
Spectacles these Glasses being constructed on the
most accurate adaptation of the Convex Concavo
Periscopic principles. Also, Silver of three diff
ferent grades of Glasses, No. being on the same
principle as the Gold Spectacles. No. is Peri
focal Lense, No. being fine Achromatic Lense
mirror shape.
In addition to the above have fine assort-
ment of Steel, of the very best quality of Lenses
the frames being grooved into the Glasses The
frames fine to be scarcely visible No

smoked Bense, adapted for weak sight where
strong light, snow or wind affects the vision.
These Spectacles perfect preventative by use

healthy power and retain it to old age
Having had very considerable experience also in
cateracteyes, in adapting glasses to such vision,
would impress on the minds of all persons need
ing glasses of any description, to apply for such

study and business for years, he alone being able
to know from the peculiar anatomy of the eye the

vision entirely from not applying to those only
qualified to know the different defects in each in

the proper kind of spectacles. I. Rittenberg,
having had over twenty-five years experience as q
regular practical optcian, assure those giving
him their patronage that by applying to him they
can get the very right kind of glasses adapted to
their case, and in almest every one secure good

CIRCUIT CoURT.-This very important
institution is going on slowly, but is
doing its work we'll
Already three of the thieves who infest
the city have received small portion of
their deserts, and it is to be hoped the
good work viii go on until there is no
more material to work upon.
On Saturday John Rush was convicted
of robbery-the crime for which Tom
Hughes was tried, not larceny, as we re-
ported it on Friday-and sentenced to
eight years in the penitentiary.
Prosecutor Marsh appeared for the
State and Major Morris S. Johnson and
James E. Blythe for the defense.
Mrs FINLEY, whose preliminary exam
ination we reported some time since,
was indicted for receiving stolen goods,
and was lodged in jail, her bail having
been increased.
There are some four or five more of
the late denizens of Whisky Row in the
county Jail waiting their turn, and it is
consolation to all good citizens to
know, that though the mills Of God
grind slow, they grind exceeding small, y
and we hope justice will have many a
field day" ere the present term of the
Circuit Court expires.

Especial to the Missouri 1emscrat1
LEAvENwoRTH, October 9.-Gen. Blunt
has escaped, and was met below Fort
Scott by reinforcements, which he took
command of and started in pursuit of
Quantrell.
| have received the following addition
al particulars concerning the attack:
The General was in advance of the
wagons, and while waiting for them in
the vicinity of Ponds camp, he noticed
a body of 100 men advancing in line,
who, being dressed ineour uniform, he at
first supposed belonged to Ponds COM
mand, ON drill, while, at the same time,
he had suspicioned they were rebels.
He had the escort formed in line and
the band and wagons ordered to the rear,
while he advanced toward them. He had
proceeded but short distance when
they fired on him, at the same time he
heard firing at Ponds Camp. As he
turned to give the order to fire, he dis
covered the escort running from him.
Seeing our men break, the enemy
charged, followed by about 200 others
from the timber.
With the assistance of Major Curtis,
the General endeavored to halt and rally
the escort, but only succeeded in detan-
ing fifteen men, With these he turned
on the enemy, who retreated. He fol
lowed them until they formed in force,
when he halted, with the determination
of remaining until he could ascertain the
fate of the escort and of Ponds com
mand. With a force of only nine
men he kept firing in their rear until
they moved south, when he joined Pond S
command, which he found safe, with the
exception of small loss in killed and
wounded.
