PERsoNAL.-We had the pleasure to-day
Of meeting CAPT. Adolph Torrey Of the goth
Iowa Infantry, who arrived in town last
evening, leaving his regiment on the White
river. Capt T. was at home over year
since. He went from here to the seat Of
war and very soon thereafter went into
quarters at rebel military boarding house
over in Texas, where he was At leisure for
about seven months. For the past four or
five months he has been with his regiment.
He is looking well and will remain here

perfect fighting order.
TnEArRE.-The Webb sisters appeared at
Metropolitan Theatre last evening TO full
house, in the interesting ply Of "Fanchon,'
in which Miss Ada took the part of Cricket.
and Miss Emma that OF Old Fadct. Both
parts were we'll played, though Miss Emma.
as the Witch evinced the best talent. Had
Miss Ada's leading support in Landry been
what it should, she would have appeared to
much greater advantage. Both made sew
eral splendid points, which captivated the
house. There is no question as to their St.
pc,ior ability. 10 night they appear in a
splendid play of Noemie, the Foster-sister-
entirely new with Davenport audience,
and full of attractions which the Sisters will
not fail to bring out in full force.
VALUABLE CRoP. A farmer in Scott
county, Iowa, near Davenport, had thisyear
one fine field Of forty acres Of onions, and
the average yield is believed to be 9l5 bush
els to the acre. As this was the average
Weld of carefully measured portions, the
entire crop from the forty acres will thus be
81. 900 bushels, and as onions ut Davenport
will sell for g. .4s bushel, the yield Of this
forty acre onion patch will be $5A, ,lGs.--
Chicago Journal.
That is almost too good story to spoil,
but We can't help it. The crop alluded to
is propably that Of James Baker, out on
Duck Creek, Dubuque road. 1t is correct
all but the 40 acres and the 454, 4,1s8. Mrs
Baker has four acres Of onions, we believe,
aud his yield per acre is about as above sta
ted. From this crop Mr.. Baker will realize
in the vicinity Of $4,000. This is pretty
tolerable yield, though not uncommon in
the Scott county onion districts.
