PoPCtAros o. Iowa CIrY. ~Tbs pepuh-
ton Of Iowa City, according to . recent cen
sus, is 5,4l7,-a little moro than one-third
the size Of Davenport, but exceedingly
smart for its dimensions. May its shadow
never be reduced.
TnEax are few complaints Of the early
appearance OF the chinch bug in some Of the
wheat fields, but We do not think it is general,
from all that we can hear So far the grow
ing grain has promising appearance, and
the chances for good yield are just about as
fair as they were year ago THE time.
No MIsr rAKr.-Gcntle,ne should call at
Sam Perry's, opposite the Post Office, and
examine those new and elegant styles Of
cassimeres for summer wear. Sam makes
up whole suits in the very best stylc-al-
most as cheap as four yeaIs ago. Every.
body can afford to have good clothes at
present prices.
A CiRcUs IN FAcr.-Dc Haven's United
Circus pitched its tent in town this morn
ing. 1t is the first real genuine circus Of the
season-or for two seasons, for that matter.
If you want few hours enjoyment this
evening for the very reasonable price Of ad-
mission, 60 to the circus and take your fam
lily along with you. Go anyhow, it will 10
you good-strengt then your lungs and make
you feel better to havo good long laugh.
You will find it at De Haven's circus to-
night.
Ice CREAM AND Strawberries. s.-Remem-
her the Sanitary Fair Festival at Sargent
Place, to morrow evening. Music, straw
berries and cream, amusements, 2nd a joy
full time generally are on the bill, and all
who 90 will be sure to spend pleasant eve
ming. The proceeds of this effort Of the la
dies Of this city goes to the great North
western Sanitary Fair, and inures to the
benefit Of the sick and wounded soldiers OF
the Union. Let US ail attend the Fe e.stival

UNDER ADvisENENr-The Des Moines
Statesman says that the famous case Of Jas.
May VS.. Executors Of estate Of Antoine Lee
Claire, ct. al, came up for hearing in the
U. S. Circuit Court, at that place on the
18th inst. There have been five special sit
tings in this case. Tho prosecution was
conducted by j. n. Ellwood, Esq, the de.
fence by John N. Rogers and G. q. Nourse
by whom del aboratc arguments were made.
1t is probable that decision will soon be
rendered. The sum involved amounts to
about S50, 900.
PERsoNAL.-We hear from Sam Hartzell
away out in Virginia City. He reports won
derful discoveries during the past few
months, about 12O miles from that place, ol
one hundred miles Of gulches equally as
rich as those about Virginia City. The
names Of these new gu!ches are Prickly Pear,
Last Chance, Grisly, Mcclellan, Lump, Tut
tie, 7.mile, etc, also plenty Of dry gulches
very rich. Sam pitches his tent at "Last
Chance" gulch, where we hope he will NEE,
with good fortune.

firm Of Herzberg & Co. in metropolitan
Block are about to double their facilities fol
