A trotting match was to have come offat
DUBUQUE o. si,s afternoon Of the 2lst, be-
tween horses owned by Messrs. Ratcliff and
Oysrpeek, for twenty five dollars . side.
best two in three in harness. The Herald
says both are three minute nags.
On the 9th instant, ~ We learn from the
Ottumwa Courier, the 7th Iowa Cavalry
was At South Loup Fork, With the Indians
thfeatsning % every hand. One soldier,
Newton J. Grub, i reported killed.
Charles A. Page, the recently appointed
United States Consul to Zurich, Switzer-
land, was formerly editor Of the Mt. Vernon
Record. He is young man Of fine talents
and great worth. We are glad to see the
young men of Iowa making marks in the
world.
Tho Dubuque Herald calls Davenport
"Shoddytown." Our only reply is to state
that from its issue of the 2lst we learn that
ninety nine saloons had taken out licenses
in that city, and that, although many more
were preparing to do SO, ten had to close up.
If this 10 Shoddytown, what kind Of town
would we call Dubuqueg
Speaking Of the land given Robinson, who
saved Stewards life, the Waverly Pnonir
says: "The tract spoken Of is in Douglas
township, some twelve miles north Of Wa
verify, on what is called the wapsic. The
land 5000 acres) Is part prairie and part
timber, and was purchased by Mr.. Matter
son some three years ago, for which he paid
$4,000. There is no better land in the
State, take it as whole, than the Matterson
land; and we should advise Mr. Robinson
to accept the proffcred gift by all means
