Home and other Items.
Henry Waxelbaum, late with Abr. Kohn,
is off to Memphis; we wish the young
'Cherrytrcc' English translation) good
luck, a pleasant season and abundance of
fruit. -. Fires on the Wisconsin bluffs are
beautiful sights these spring evenings.
Moscow must have looked pretty to the
starving regiments of Napoleon when they
were approaching that celebrated city,.
d. Strousc, the head-centre of good men,
is among us on visit from his New York
quarters; we are not without hope that
Bernard will stay with us when he returns
from trip or two up and down the river.
..... The brick front of Bassctt e. Hunt
ting's building looks very fine and gives a
much better appearance to Bentons store.
......FURY, of the Union House, gave a
ball on Saturday night last to the friends
of Tommy Shelly one of the best boys on
tho work..... JAS. c. Bradshaw, late of the
TINES office, is with Geo. w. and Sam
1laislett at DEBORAH engineering their job
department. If BRAD. don't do his work
in good style it will BIO because he can't
find type in the Office; we commend him to
our acquaintance everywhere as scholar,
printer and a most genial gentleman......
Cone is adding largely to his residence on
Mt. Pleasant. Capt. Hoffman is building

The Baptist Association for North

this month; We have not the date..... Rev.
2. Brown, after pleasant trip west of us
is again at his old post in McGregor.
Though no Baptist he is ready to supply
our citizens with all the cold water they
require from the Father of waters. An
honest, industrious, upright man. Others
may choose to make hobby Of his race
and color and go to Congress; we prefer to
respect individuals whom we know and let
politicians blow their horns for profit.
H. c. IIayt has purchased John Ben
toms residence (Ann street) for $4,000;
as the lots are paid for and inclosed we
think the property is cheap enough.
If any one happens to find bracelet, the
owner and liberal reward can be discov-
cred at the TINES Office. ..Conant & Val

rooms of the TINES Block and will prepare
Immediately to fit them up in good style

ties of the flynn. 80. 1t is said Pomeroy was
recently shot in the foot. We had con-
cluded that something bothered the under-
standing of our friend "Brick." ....When
will dog-killing commence according to
law?'' The Internal hydrophobics are be-
ginning to howl too plenty for safety. One
human life is worth all the dogs in town.
lew. D. Townsend and J. Il. West have
returned from their up-riyer overland,
roundabout trip of ten days. They look
well and probably behaved well while
gone, but as we have no proof except their
own testimony we decline to indorse the
story...... The great blow about water
damage to cities and towns on the Missis-
sippi is a 'blow." The rise of the river
carried off few cords of wood, q score or
two of saw-logs, one or two fishing shan
ties, cleaned out the cellars, washed of the
levees, upset an humble smoke house, &c.,
&C., and that is all. We are now ready
for cholera or any other trouble. A day
or two of inconvenience is well paid for by
general publication. If river like ours
cant afford to get on a high occasionally
what stream is there on the globe entitled
to the privilege ?......Somebody sends the
current years "Herald of HEALTH" a
journal of Physical Culture" published
by Miller, Wood & Co., Is Laight street,

dustrious and the mother of three little
fellows whom she supports by labor.....
Our friend Lou. Pcavy places us under OBJ
legations by the presentation Of large

said he makes fine pictures; it is said, how
ever, that our picture would have been
much finer looking had some other man
sat for it !...... Edmonds, late of the West
Union Record is east somewhere, purchas-
ing stock for paper at Clermont. We
learn that Mr.. Watt, gentleman whose
acquaintance we made recently is about to
establish paper in West Union. 1t is
said paper will shortly be established at
Counoyer......T The Winnishiek (Decorah)
Register is before US and we are not asham-
cd of it. The Haislet boys are hard work
ers; if energy wins success they will get it.
More next week, old typos-at present we
can't do you justice. Visiting Pictured
Rocks has already commenced, several
parties having gone there on Sunday last.
