Cor SICK OF IA few years ago our
young friend Engcne Bird, go. tired of Dav-
enport thought his fortune was to be
found up at Lyons, in Clinton county, SO
he sold his paternal acres-a delightful spot
known MS the "Bird Farm" just out Of
town, to Judge Tharp. at a cheap figure,
and migrated. lie has been to Lyons-but
Charley Eldridgc. the popular land agent,
informs us that he has Just bought back his
farm-paying twice what he sold it for, SO
eager was he to get hack to old Scott coun-
ty again Served him right May he new
er wander from the threshold again.
KEROSENE OIL.-There is as much differ
ence in the quality Of this article as in any
by "proof" fgures-as is alcohol. The
best, or highest proof, is ] 10, and from this
the benzole is all extracted, and is therefore
entirely non explosive. From that figure
the proof runs down to very low standard
indeed it is often burned at As and 80,
but it is only at the peril of the consumer
1t is this impure kerosene that is the cause
of many a sad accident. Merchants should
always avoid it, Webb, No. l6 LcClaire
Row, has just receiv cd shipment Of 10
proof kerosene. 1t Civ most brilliant
light, and is perfectly safe. Don't run any
risks, but use the BEST.
No DANGER.--We are glad to know that
and most successful fruit growers in Iowa
| has no fear Of the buds swelling and there
by endangering the crop for next year
He has no fears, in fact is quite merry over
: the fine weather Abiding to the matte,
he says: II don't believe . word Of it
! The buds will not start with such COO,
weather and frosty nights. 1t is true the
weather is quite warm, clear calm and pleas
ant for the last half Of November, but no,
1 warm enough for vegetation to grow. 1t is
the best kind Of weather for trees, vines ard
shrubbery to ripen and harden and prepare
, for winter. In the middle Of October, j,
was quite green and growing. II the cold
freezing weather had come on as early as
we have it some seasons, immense destruc
ton Of frozen and killed trees and vines
! would have been the consequence"
HORSE TnIEr.-A stranger called at the
; livery stable Of Crouch & Carr, At Lyons,
on Friday last, and hired horse and buggy.
On the day following he attempted to trade
the buggy for horse, to John Smith, at
LeClaire. Not succeeding, he came to Dav
cnport, and from here wen; to Blue Grass.
At Blue Grass he traded the buggy for q
horse, to q Mr.. Thorn. Returning to Dav-
cnport, yesterday afternoon, he hired = bug
gy and harness from Smiths livery stable,
and made off. Immediately afterwards,
Mr.. Carr arrived from Lyons, and started
for Muscatine in quest Of the thief. Officers
were dispatched on several roads from this
city, on being apprised Of the character Of
