TaE CaoLEsA.-1'he excitement about
this mysterious aid-de camp Of death in
New York and Brooklyn has been immense
this last week. But important ~ the sub :
ject may seem, il has dwindled into insight
ficance in comparison to the excitement
about the furs and new styles Of hats and
caps produced by our eminent Halter
Smith, opposite the LeClaire House. His
mark is : guarantee Of fashion, and his
goods are unsqualed BY any in the city fos
style and qualify. Give him call by oil
means before purchasing elsewhere.
SoLDIsRs ORPnANs.-Ffom Rev. P. P.
ingalls, We learn that about one hundred
and forty Soldiers Orphans will srrive in
in our city tomorrow morning. at an early
hour, on the Rapids Packet from down the
river. The Home is not entirely prepared
for their reception, at least not As we'll aa
their friends would like, but it has beeu
deemed best to remove them during THU
delightful weather. They will be breakfas
ted at the Christian Chapel, on Brady stree,
and an appeal 10 hereby made to the gencr
osity of the ladies Of Davenport to supply
al the substantials for the occasion. <<A>
Ds. DuxcAN's LEcruRs.-The "humor
Gus and otherwise" delincator Of 'th,
March to the Sea-" was not greeted with Z
q large audience At LeCiaire Hall last even
ing, and the expectations Of those present
were but family realized-if At all. Tn.
sub, ect-a noble one, seemed bevond tn,
grasp Of the orator, who, possibly has mis-
taken his calling As . public lecturer.-
Some parts of his discourse were fair. bu
as general thing, the anecdotes were ster
eotyped and Improbable history u
unseasoned rehash Of stale war correspond
ence. Really the had Doctor better confin'
himself to pills and physic and leave lsctur
ing to minds better adapted to entertaining
the public.
