10 the farmer. 1t will develop seeds thal
have lain dormant in the soil for . l0na
time-for many years--and thus form .
richer, denser turf. We see tho effect ever
now, though its full force will not be en-
acted till the ensuing spring. Then oui
pastures and meadows will be sight worth
sceing, il we are prudent enough to keep
orr cattle from cropping too close this fall
Rural World.
THEATRE. Matters move swimmingly at
the Metropolitan Theatre-everybody is de-
lighted with tho performances. This eve.
ming will be presented two grand pieces =
'Our Wife"-an entirely new play, never
before presented toa Davenport AUDIENCE
aud Robert Micaire,' serio comic drama
Of the highest character. A better bill was
never offered in this city, and it ought to
draw crowded house.
The patrons Of the Theatre will be pleased
to learn that on Monday evening next will
be presented the great modern sensation
drama from the French, entitled the "Duk.'s s
Motto" This play has attracted thousands
for weeks and months together in the lead

city, the carly part of next month. Grand

tuition and Bylaws Of the association arc

tice for signatures, and those wishing good

PrBLrc MEETrNo.-A large number Of
our citizens will be pleased to hear that
Capt. Ault. Of the Twenty Second Iowa In
fantry-Col.i Stones regimcnt-has made
arrangements to speak to the people Of this
city, on the 18th inst. Capt. Ault made a
speech at the Soldiers Convention at Des
Mones, on the 23d Of August last, which
was the most complete and most scathing
exposition Of the rotten heartetness and
cowardics Of that flnctionary ever listened
to. Capt Ault carries the documents along
with him to prove his assertions. Let him
be warmly greeted here; and let every
body turn out to hear him-particularly
let tho friends and supporters Of Governor
Stone take, especial pains to be present.
A HEAVY JoB.-Our respected: fellow
citizen Aid. Horribly, who ~ the way, is one
Of our most accomplished mechanics in the
building line, has accepted call to go to
Omaha, to superintend the erection Of a
Railroad building at that placc-it being
the eastern terminus ofthe northern branch
of the Pacific railroad. The buildings to
be erected are passenger and freight dcpots,
machine shops, engine houses, and various
offices connected with the road. He left
home last evening to proceed to Hannibal
TO select lumber to be used on this heavy
job. The buildings are to be similar to the
N. & NJ. buildings here, though on con
siderably larger scale.
Mr.. Nat Squires and other mechanics
who are.to assist Mr.. Hornbey, left for Oma-
ha day or two since.
CHICAGO GENERosI1Y.-In another col
umn, our readers will find list Of con-
tributions from the citizens Of Chicago, to
the Iowa Soldiers Orphans Home Fair,
lately held at Marshalltown. As will be
seen At . glance, these donations have been
truly liberal, and it will be no more than
justice for the people Of our State to prop
erly remember the donors. Our merchants
who deal largely in Chicago, should bear in
mind that those who properly answer the
calls Of benevolcncc, cannot but be strictly
honorable and generous in business trans
action. As far as possible, our citizens
should bestow their patronage upon those
who so willingly lend hand to the suffer
ing and helpless, especially when we con.
slider that those sufferers are among our own
homes, and upon us alone, devolves the re
sponsibiIitx Of their support. We think
the donors have sacrificed nothing in this
noble enterprise, as We pre- sure that their
lbssality Of spirit will not soen be forgotten
by the people Of Iowa.
