CAsTELLos CIHcus.-This celebrated cir
Gus troupe performed in this city yesterday
evening and this afternoon to large and de-
lighted audiences. The performances of this
company are really splendid and well de-
serve the liberal patronage bestowed upon
them. Every performer is an artiste, and
the whole, under the management Of Mr..
North, form an arena Of talent, seldom met
with in travelling show. The perform
ance of Mr.. Castello's beautiful Russian
horse, the Gar" is alone worth the price
Of admission. Let everybody who wishes
to see and hear one of the best entertain
ments ever presented under canvas to a
Davenport aundience, 60 to the great show
tonight, which will be the last opportunity
offered this season.
Also stercoscopic views, plain and colorcd,
very rich and interesting, at the same place
GRAIN ScALE.-One OF the loulest com
plants made by the farmers at the meeting
yesterday, was that our grain merchants
did not grade the wheat, often paying as
much for a poor article as for good one,
much to the discouragemcnt Of farmers who
were disposed to be neat and careful in
preparing their wheat for market. This
difficulty is now provided for. Grading
grain was one Of the objects of establishing
the Board Of Trade, and the scale has now
been prepared and is published in our mar
ket reports This will be Of great advant-
age to both buyers and sellers, and the rule
should be rigidly enforced.
We think the farmers Of Scott county
will find the men composing the Board of
Trade, gentlemen Of inte gritty and disposed
to do nothing subyersiyc of the farming
interests. They have sense enough to know
where their interest lies. and the sad fate of
the woman who killed the goose that laid
the golden egg IS before them.
The MERCHANDISE RoBBERY.-The goods
stolen by the Westphal boys, as noticed in
our last evenings issue, have been invoiccd
with the following result:
Dry Goods from Mack L Co. .e6s 5. 90
Hardware. Mack 4 Bro. .... 1000
Dry Goods, Herzberg 4 Co....... $500
Total. l.......... .......... ......SIsS ~
The goods were on exhibition this MORN
ing al the Police Magistrates Office. The
dry goods are admirably selected for the
youthful son Of poor but dishonest parents,
comprising a full assortment, ranging from
rich silk dress patterns down to three
cent bolt Of tape There were linen goods
amounting to several hundred dollars value,
dress goods, cassimeres, domestics, hoop
skirts, ribbons, laces, fringcs, balmorals,
teas, spices, snuff, shelf hardware, etc.-in
short stock which, with the addition Of =
keg of nails and barrel of whisky would
make an elaborate stock for country store,
in any well regulated one horse village
The Macks missed many goods but never
suspicioned the -Westphal boys. The one
at the dry goods store had the key, swept
the store, and had everything in his own
way. There is no telling whether all the
goods stolen have been recovered or not
We congratulate these merchants. They
