Il. Il. Harding and family are removing
to st. Louis. A pleasant time to you
''Bob' in your new home. Great alarm
is prevalent in Atlantic cities on account Of
cholera. 'Tis well to guard against tn.
pestilence, and it is gratifying to know
that our city parents are pushing the filth
out of this place as rapidly as labor can dc
it.. ...Hoop-poles are as important an article
of trade here as they are in "Posey Coun.
ty." Bass & Elmendorf, Mr.. Foster and
Oliver Raft are the principal buyers.
Raft shipped about 800 thousand to
Davenport on Monday last. Here they
are worth So. to so. per NJ; at Davenport
SIG. to $50. is the price, but transportation
on such bulky stuff is high. Nv. D.
Townsend and J. r. West have gone to
81. Paul; we suppose they will manage to
return by way of Fayetts County, but at
present we decline to state positively that
this is a fact !...... The Post Office is remov-
ed to the TINES Block and Capt. Benton
looks as snug as you please in his new
quarters. The printing offices, the ES-
press Office and the Post Office, three of the
institutions which make a city, are now in
close connection. Isn't this o. K?......
When Grant shaves the N. Y. Tribune has
dispatch about it.....A landslide in one
of the cuts near Postville, on Sunday last,
disabled the McGrcgor Western trains con-
siderably. There will be but little delay
in travel. Strong, Sherwin, Andres, Lew
is, Delano, James & Co., with their encr-
getic assistants will soon straighten mat
ters......We are informed that the water
has SO nearly submerged the North Me-
Grcgor r. r. starting point that passengers
are landed in front of Ruble's Agricultu-
raj Office for western travel. This is pro-
badly permanent arrangement; the steam
boat landing of the Co. is there, and why
not set the track up few feet and begin
business where it belongs. 1t is not true
that LIrE is selling letter stamps at t,co
cents, reports of Townsend and others to
the contrary! DoRR is about to enlarge
his house to accommodate increasing GUS
tom. For ten years we have known him
and we cheerfully say he merits all the
good luck that comes to his house. Rice
and Moncr;ef look watery about now, and
Tousley does mt like so much of the a9,.e-
Gus fluid, but ''the hand of Providence
will not "stay," when the pessure above is
so terrible!
If the gentleman who deposited rial of
champagne in our office will favor us with
a call we will show him as Morrill, set of
boys as can be seen west of sunrise. In
another place we have mentioned the bust
ness which interests our military friend.
1.-THE late Rosenthal Cigar Store Pear
soils building is raised to grade. Homer
Kennedy is elevating his store to the alti-
tude required by law, custom Or convent
ence. Kennedy is a law-abiding democrat,
and if it were required to turn his house
he would do it rather than
play radical" and claim that his judg-
ment is superior to those who are clothed
with authority. .Fenianism seems to have
played out. Just as we expected just as
we wrote months ago. Why can't people
learn that land is land all of it is Gods
property, and wherever his children may
be, home is home. Our folks were
born in Ireland, but a quarter-section of
Iowa soil, if ours, is worth more to us than
The Lord-Lieutenancy, if covered by the
control of the British. Clayton
Co. is as good home as we want. Fellow
Celts, can't you sbe contented?.. ....We re-
greet to learn that S. Val. Shaw, of Lam
sing, recently was hurt and almost smoth-
cred, by the falling Of fat man above
him in steamer berth. VAL. wasn't to
blame bit, but like other innocent people
he was the sufferer, and the fat man was
uninjured. Never let heavy man sleep
above you !......Wm. Murdoch, Esq, is in
the County, teaching our people the best
system in the world. "Bill"
is with his brother SAN at Garnavillo, but
he is ready to instruct all who want in
relative to the qualities Of the
horse. ..BRocKwAY is making things rat
tie at the Mondell. John Hughes, Esq,
of Crown Point, Indiana, is there occa-
but he is host when he arrives.
......Buxton is making Boots and Shoes
over E. Y. Clarke & Co.'s Wholesale To-
bacco and Notion Store Buxton is an old
citizen, and for workmanship he is not ex-
eelled in any country.
Capt. Ira Bisbce and Engineer Geo. Lew
is have arranged to furnish passengers
with Refreshments, Fruits, Confectionery,
Cigars, Tobacco, &C., on board their Ferry
Steamer Alamakee......E p. Clarke went
east on Tuesday P. NJ. for goods. lie will
remain in New York many days in select
ing wholesale stock, and on return you
will see such a stock as McGregor has sell
dom witnessed. -. Doctor C. A. White and
Prof. Childs, of Dubuque, honored our
sanctum by their presence few days since.
They are State Biologists, and are on a
sort of preparatory tour this way to see
where to begin. A large number of big
rocky words passed between us, but as we
did not know what they meant we were
not to blame. These gentlemen will be
here again sooa.
Sec the Ice proposition Of our Advertise
,rs and keep COOL. LAS it is often said,
Eternal worlds" Of Freight are being de-
Iivcred at this point. Bass & Elmendorf
are the general receivers for railway and
steamers. Our drays, like the old lady's
bowls arc ''all in exercise daily and mid
