cal ambrosia of the gods, the nepenthe of
every ill. or the nectar by which a certain
ancient young lady had her head turned to
everlasting damnstion. We have reason,
however, to believe, and we do believe that it
is very inspirising beverage, and, at about

LEFT His MARX Last night. some person
broke a light of glass in the door Of Don q
Elliot's store and left blood in considerable
quantity upon the sash, and in large drops,
on the door sill and outside and inside the
door. If any body came out with a sore hand,
to-day, and can't prove how it was hurt, the
suspicion would be pretty strong that he
broke the window. The police had better
take little look around for sore hands.

CoRREcTIoN.-Our attention has been call.
ed to the publication of letter from F. j.
Whitney. Esq, of Buffalo Prairie, giving an
account of the township election in that town,
in which o. H. P. Moore is set down as a re-
publican! This was our mistake-a typo
graphical error, which escaped notice in
reading proof. Mr.. Moore is one of the best
and most substantial democrats in the coun
ty, and it was not at all necessary to correct
the error, except to relieve MIR. Whitney of
the mistake, because everybody knows that
there is not better democrat in this county
than Perry Moore.

DR. SWANS BOURBON BIrrERs.-Dr. G. r.
Whitney, Surgeon of the 4th Regiment us. Reg
ular Cavalry writes as follows:
As an anti-bilious preparation DR.. Swain's
Bourbon Bitters are no doubt the best in use, and
could it be regularly dispensed in the army, would
prove powerful safeguard against the effects OF
privation, exposure, fatigue, bad water and IN
wholesome diet. They are the most palatable
preparation of the kind have tasted. The
door of ripe old Bourbon, mingled with the aroma
OF spices, rendering it delicious, alike to the
sense of smell and taste.

Electro magnetism Is but just being understood,
and if we pay more attention to diet, use less
drugs and learn the conditions Of health, by exter-
nal applications, less medicine, of any sort, would
be necessary.

ESQ.,, notice of which will be found in this
paper Mr.. MeMurphy was a native of New

of devoted friends.
Mr.. McMurphy had, during his lifetime,
held various township and county Offices, the
duties of all Of which he discharged with
promptness and fidelity. At the time of his
death he held the Office of county drainage
commissioner. He was, for most of his life.
a resident of Hampton, but had recently re-
moved to q fine farm in Canoe Creek. he
was a brother of Mrs. Lucius Wells, and
Mrs John Wells.
We had few, if any better nen in this

RIGHT TALK.-While the Davenport city
council are wrangling over a newly proposed
health ordinsnce,the Democrat gives the peo-
pie some sensible advice, as follows:
Meanwhile let our citizens 60 forward with
their work of cleansing Don't wait till the
council does something or till your neighbor
commences cleaning, but 60 at it on your
own responsibility. Instead of raising hue
and cry about the iilthiness of the streets
and alleys, look inside your houses and lots.
There is more filth and contagion-more
food tor cholera inside private enclosures, in
your yards, and in your houses, than there is
in all the streets, alleys steam boats and rail-
road cars combined. Attend to your own
houses and lots. Charity should always COM
mence at home, and SO should cleanliness
Don't stand looking down the Mississippi or
off into New York; don't 60 into spasms about
the streets, lanes and alleys, for they are all
being taken care of, but go right straight to
work to put your o,on houses in order and in
good time the council will get around and at
tend to those who are too lazy to clean their
own premises
