VARIETY Is THE sPIcg OF LlrE.-For q
month oi changeable weather commend Us
to the present month Of March. 1t has sur
passed anything VI the kind in the nine
teenth century. Coming in like lamb it
threatens to 60 out like lion. We have
had every phase Of weather, from soft and
ba.my to cold and stormy; We have had
rain and slcet; thunder, lightning, and hail
stones the size Of walnu,s. The ice on the
river has been broken up, and frozen to
gether again 50 many times that We have
erased to number them. A friend who gave
the subject his attention, says that there
we're seventeen changes in the weather iu
one day last week. This is variety in the
ullest sense Of the word. Yesterday the
streets were full Of mud, last night every
thing was frozen to day the sky is cloud
less, and to morrow people may be sun
struck ON our streets.
WALLACE's MrsIc SroRE-We refer our
readers TO Mr.. J. G WallAce's new adver>
tisemcnt in to days issue. Having occa>
sion to call at his establishment on Brady,
this morning, we were not little pleased
with his recent innumerable improvements.
Everything is reduced to the most perfect
sy stem, which does away with the necessity
of having to overhaul the whole establish
ment to find what you desire. Hchas late
IL received mammoth stock Of vocal harp,
guitar, organ, and piano music, consisting Of
irios sacred songs s,quartet,s, gallops, waltzes,
IN zurkas. marches, etc, etc, etc. Read the
q tvantageous arrangements he has made
with Root & Cady, Chicago,in regard to the
pur .hase Of instruments and music, and the
ieasonableness prices.
A FREE CoNcERT.-There will be an ex-
hibition Of the Esey Organ, on to morrow
Tuesday evening, at LeClaire Hall. Mr..
r. Lighton, Of Rock Island, has been en-
gagged for the oco sion. The very best Of
vocal music may be expected. J. c. Wal
aces new song, the Emerald Green" will
be sung, and many other new and attractive
The public is corlially invi
ted to attend. No boys will be admitted
unless accompanied by their parents
Any person having an organ which he
woul like to have compete with the Estey,
though it cos. twice as much, is invited to
exhibit it.
MICHIGAN CENTRAL Z. R.-Read the ad
' y.rtisement Of this road, in another COL
umn. 1t would be useless for US to say
that it is the greatest and most perfect
road leading out Of Chicago TO the East
ward. No broad leading from the Metropo-
lis Of the Northwest pretends to have the
advantages of the Michigan Central. II is
the most evenly ballasted, best ventilated
coaches. an! makes sure connections. The
officers are entitled to great praise for their
energy in putting the Central in its present
condition.
REvivAL.-We learn that it is the inten
ton Of some OF the misisters Of our city to
naugurate religious revival during the
coming week. For this purpose meetings
will be held every evening, at the lecture
room Of the Baptist Church, at the corner OF
Fourth and Perry SITS. A great religious
excitement is now prevailing at Peoria. III.
and other nelghboring cities. Considering
the present state Of pubic and private NOR

! SAFE AND PROFITABLE INVESTMENT =
Recent events have made the town Of Reno
one Of the most noted in America. The
heart Of the great oil region; the centre Of
its commerce, the intersccting point Of its
roilway facilities. the absorbing and distrib-
uting depot Of northwestern Pennsylvania.
It seems to be rapidly taking high place
en- ing American cities. II corr has built
Chicago, iron Pittsuuig. and gold San Fran
