WAKING Up.-We believe L. KENNEDY
will put life and snap enough into our
neighbor village, Guttenburg to wake her
up, and set her citizens to thinking what is
best to do to keep along with the car Of
progress. Guttenburg is one of the most
upright, reliable towns in the west, but its
first settlers moved SO slowly as to discour-
age American emigrants to their place
The tide is changing, however, and KEN
NEDY's Wholesale Trade will give it
starter.

In the Madison correspondence of the
GAINESVILLE Gazette of May 18th, the follow
ing paragraph will interest our readers:
Perhaps you are already acquainted with
the fact that owing to Judge Noggle hav-
ing become resident of the State of Iowa,
his suit for damages for libel amounting to
$4,000 against twenty-five residents Of
your county will be transferred from the
circuit court to the U. S. district court of
Milwaukee, Judge Miller presiding. It
is considered by the COMPLIMENTS friends
that this course will save trouble and cost,
and considerably expedite the business.
JUL Noggle is actually resident of
Iowa, we believe, but his family at present
are in GAINESVILLE temporarily. They re-
sided at McGregor some months prior to
April last. We shall be glad when they
become fixtures in our social circles.

The military committee of the house
have reported bill equalizing the boun-
ties of soldiers, sailors and marines, who
served in the union army during the rebel
lion. 1t provides for the payment Of IS ,33
per month to every soldier, sailor or
marine who has been, or may hereafter be
honorably discharged from the service
for all time during which such soldier,
sailor or marine may have served between
the 10th day of April 1861, and April,
1865. A careful estimate shows that the
bill will take 5000, 900, 200 from the treas
ury.
1t is decided that sugar made from sor-
ghum shall not be taxed.

Dir. NEwLAND.-This case has resulted
in the acquittal of Newland on the charge
of numbering DR.. Evans, the seducer of his
daughter. Much applause greeted the yer.
dict of the jury, and the Doctor has been
we'll lionizcd since. A dispatch from New
Albany, Ind, Newland's home, dated May
10th, says:
DR.. Newland was visited last night and
this morning, at his boarding house, by
many of the most respectable citizens OF
New Albany and Louisville, who congrat
ulated him on his acquittal. No verdict
ever rendered in a case where so much in
terest was excited, gave more general salts
faction. Dr.. Newland left for his home in
Bedford this morning. His unfortunate
daughter is, to day, mother. There is
the deepest sorrow felt for her in New AL
bany, as well as in New Bedford.

DR.. Cooke is now ut DEBORAH. He cures

brief, but he is reported to have been very
successful. Mr.. Joseph Wisemiller had
suffered with chronic rheumatism "a years
and he assured us that he felt almost like
a boy after submitting to the Doctor s
treatment. John feelings was almost cur

Doctors remedies. We do not believe that
Cooke can raise the dead, but it is certain
he can give immediate relief to the living.

in McGregor the house was saved, though

offence ut Charles Sumner because he does
not favor woman's rights, and pronounces
him one of the most dangerous men in the
country. She insists that woman's rights

Sure enough, Miss Susan. Is not the
mother, wife, or daughter of an American
citizen as "good" before the law as an
African just emancipated? And if women
vote why not girls and boys? who will say
that the the white girls and boys of the U.

the charity of the government? Why not
let every body vote and be done with the

The Steamers.
The up-River feet of steamers, including
those of the Northern and of the North
western Lines is hard to beat on any in
land water. A daily boat, on each line
gives abundant opportunities for travel or
freight and we are glad to see these lines
so well patronized. We called to sec SAM
Cook, First clerk of the War Eagle on her
last trip down and found him not a bit
proud, albeit he was elected a councilman
of Dunleith. Capt. Mitchell was in bed or
at breakfast-at all events we didn't see
him. The War Eagle is called among the
best and most prompt time boats on the
river. Her officers are tip-top men and
they understand the river.
The Hawk-Eye (St. Louis, or Northern
Linc) is a beauty both outside and in. By
invitation of that veteran of the western
water, Capt. JONES WoRDES, we stepped
aboard on her last trip up and took cun-
ming look at her spacious cabin. berth ar
rangements, children's play ground (nur-
sey). Cap. showed us the two large bridal
rooms aft, fitted up with parlor-likc nicely
and convenience, and we almost regretted
that we had married such long time ago.

JOHNSON, though comparative stranger,

is quite as much at home in the social and

but a crusty, ill-naturcd clerk can spoil
all.-this sort of clerk the Railway House
has not got? We but speak universal
sentiment when we say that POWELL is un-

obtrusive. but watchful for the comfort Of
guests, we never saw man who carried
out the work in his charge with SO little
appearance of effort in business, and yet 80
