The Burlington weekly hawk-eye. [volume] (Burlington [Iowa]) 1860-1876, 1864-10-29

Il. Fayerweather has been clerk, and to ~
large extent, manager Of the general BUSH
ness Of the Hook Eye Office. A more faith
full employee never labored in this Office,
and a more efficient and capable one it will
be hard to find anywhere. He goes to
New Orleans in the service Of the Govern
ment in the Quartermaster's Department.
That he will be as faithfula and as uniformly
correct in the public service as he has been
with as we have not doubt. In this new
and perhaps trying position he will have
the kindest wishes not only of all con-
nected with this Office, but of the public at
large who have done business in the count
ing room of the Hark-Eyc Office during
tha last three or four years.

The Dubuque Times states that several Of
these rascals are known to be in that place,
and says, "a member of the Chicago
police who was in our city on Sunday, in

Our citizens need to look well to their
pockets, locks and lives. The scamps hang
about the saloons and hotels and claim to

can be-" It is well to be on the lookout for
these characters and remember that the
most effective treatment for burglars is
powder and ball.
