Graves of Dubuque, it is said, has
shipped Gilbert of the Times. Graves
had $4,000 mortgage on the office,
and being johnson Republican-as

ed the pay for his little lien. On refu-
sal Of Gilbert & Co., he gave notice
that after (to-day) Wednesday the
10th, the Office would change color or

The Times of Dubuque denies that
MIR. Graves holds mortgage upon the
establishment, which we presume is
true /; but it is we'll known that Mr..
Graves is large and perhaps princi-
pal owner of the materialof the Times
printing office, and it may be that he
is not fully satisfied with the manage
ment of the paper. But what we wish
to say is, that the political aspect of
the case, cannot possibly be true. We
have the best authority for stating
that Mr.. Graves is staunch, thorough
going, radical Republican,-that he en-
endorses Congress and the course ia
ken by the radical Iowa Congressman
and there can be no shadow of truth
in the assertion that he is tinctured
with Johnsonism. We will bet on j. K.
every time.

The Concert.

The Concert at Union Hall, on Tues.
day evening, by the Charles City Sax
Horn Band, was great success The
large Hall was crowded with an atten.
tive and appreciative audience, and
the exercises of the members of the
band and their assistants surpassed
even the expectations of their friends.
Col. Huntley came home from Dubuque
to assist the boys, and they were also
assisted BY Mr.. John Woolley of Clarks-
vile and Mr.. Clark of Waterloo, all
noted musicians. Mr.. John Stearns
and his class gave an interesting ex-
hibition in gymnastics, and the ladies
prepared superb and bountiful sup
per. The object of the Concert and
supper was to raise funds to purchase
a wagon for the Band. The proceeds
of the evenings entertainment amount
ed to $4,000, after deducting the ex-
penses. The Band Wagon has been
ordered and is now being manufactu-
red in Dubuque. 1t is to cost $500, and
will be the handsomest vehicle of the
kind in the State. The Band boys de-
serve great credit, not only for their
musical talents, but, for their bust.
ness enterprise.

Patent Weather Strip.

Mr.. w. w. Piuney, of this place,
has bought the right of Bremen, Floyd
and Mitchell counties, and has also
the right to sell other territory, for
the introduction and sale Of newly
invented and patented Weather Strip,
to be applied to doors for keeping out
rain and snow We have examined
this invention and consider il useful
and valuable. Nearly all outside
doors to dwelling houses should have
one Of these Weather Strips attached
to them. The expense is bnt trifle.

Rev. J. G. Witted.

We were highly pleased on Tues
day to meet our old friend Rev. j. G..
Witted who has just returned from
Jackson Miss, where he has been
stopping for several months as Chap
lain of the 58th U. S. Colored Infantry.
The regiment is now mustered out Of
service. Mr.. Witted represents the eff
feet Of President Johnson's policy up
on the South as most disastrous. Tie
poor negroes were never treated SO
badly as at the present time. We un-
derstand that Mr.. Witted, who, as eve
rybody knows, is popular public
speaker, has received several invita-
tions to lecture, in the different towns
in this part of the State, upon South.
ern affairs, and he has consented to do
SO. There can be no doubt that his
lectures would be highly interesting
and instructive. He will make no
charge for his services further than to
allow a collection to be taken up to
defray his expenses.
