a modern medical advertisement. Wesay,
respectfully, that nature can lift herself if
YOU let her alone. If she cannot do so let
her be hangcd-thatwill elevate her or "any
other man,. 800. Col. Henderson, the As
SCISSOR of this district, had muss in Du-
buque, with Mr.. Bowman, of the Herald,
on Sunday, A. NJ, Sept. 10th. Mr.. Bow
man gives an account of it which places
the Col. much in the wrong when he be-
gan the 'discussion wild sthicks," and bad
ly whipped when his friends retired him
from the field. We regret the alteration
because it does neither of them credit,
though Bowman could not avoid it......W.
F. Kimball, formerly of DEBORAH, is at
Memphis, with Ammon & Co., in the pro-
duce trade. .Thad. Stevens, the great
radical leader in Congress says ''this Union
never shall, with my consent, be restored
under the constitution as it is" 49,. Charles
Walker and lady arrived at their MeGregor
home on Sunday morning and were well
coined by hosts of friends. They have
taken rooms for the present at the Evans
House. Charley says" thc bachelors fitful
dream is over" and life now looks to him
like that elysium SO beautifully poetized
by Moore. May no shadow except that
last one which all mortality must realize,
ever disturb the dream which our young
friends are now enjoying......1t is said
that ''the War Department provides trans
portation for all disabled soldiers to and
from the place where they obtain artificial
limbs" but soldiers had better take lit
tie ''loosc change" along for fear it is not
a certain thing. Sevcnty-6vc dollars is
the ''entitle' of every soldier who wants
an arm or leg; if a better leg or arm is
wanted the soldier must pay for the excess
in price. We think there is a great differ
ence in the value of these important mem-
bcrs and should prefer higher price than
$500 for legs!
L. d. Ryan has sold his paper and fruit
depot at the p. O. to Capt. w. A. Benton, of
the Post Office. Il. D. will probably so to
preaching or retire to cotton plantation
down South. ....AEMsTRoNG, the brilliant
editor Of the Lansing Journal, was recent
ly elected President of the AL. Co. Inst,-
tutc. We have heard that JOHN was not
popular up that way that his character
was of the "T. c." order: that he was
'disloyal," &C., &C., etc, but this very high
literary compliment implies anything but
disrespect for the talented bundle Of genial
ity who bosses one part of the Journal
while the competent Kccsecker runs the
job side. .....J. S. Slorah, late of the Jones
4 Bass Block, has removed to the late
fruit stand of young Wooliscroit, near D
Allen, Jr., north side of Main street. We
think Mr.. S. has made good exchange
......Scc every one of the new adycr
tisement. The Rockford Nursery il
one of the best in the Northwest. .....A. j
Jordan, Agent of the Accidental ms. Co.
paid Alex. McKinnie, Esq, Of this town
S64.2S for falling out of wagon. Alex
was wise, while those who fail to insure
arc otherwise. II.
| O'Brion & Davis now occupy, in add
ton to their old stand, the room formerl,
occupied by G. E. Daniels & Co. as Boo
and Shoe store. In removing the wall be
tween and thus throwing the two rooms
together, they have an abundance of room
for their increasing business and one of tn
most conveniently arranged establishment
in the city. Their fruit trade has beel
much greater this year than ever BEFORE
n Always up to time in getting the first il
the market, they have just received TWEEN
ty-fve barrels of choice cranberrics fo
which they are finding ready sale boil
in this city and country about. +
