FIRST Bounty CLAMs.-The first bounty
received under the late act appropriating
500 to soldiers, so far as we know, came
from the Paymaster General by the mail
this morning (29thl to Maj. Fl. C. Connolly.
The bounty is for William Chamberlain and
Burton H. Cook, late of Go. f, S9th Ills.
Infantry. 1t was supposed that each regi-
ment would be paid in full on all appica-
tons filed up to April lst, 1867, but the re-
ceiving of the above bounties by Maj. Con
nelly indicates that all claims will be paid In
the order of their being fled. This is evi7
dent from the fact that he has large num-
Der of claims on file at Washington for
members of the same company, OF which he
has heard nothing.

the course of the Young Mems Library AS.
ISOLATION, will be given at Babcock's Hall,
tomorrow evening, by the Mendelssohn So
ciety, of Davenport consisting of some so
OK 60 performers. The Davenport Demo.
crdt says: %
As our citizens know and appreciate the merits
of the Mendelssohn Society, and as the object is
very worthy one, doubtless many of our people
would attend if arrangements were made for the
Terry boat to run after the performance so that
they could return home that evening.
We hope our citizens will give the young
men good benefit on the occasion, and help
them to funds to increase their library and
mt up their new rooms.

require the work to be commenced at once

SwTNDLING.-A man named Monroe VIII
hanson, who lives on the bottom, below
Camden, was arrested by City Marshal Crop
per, and taken before Esq. Connolly, for
cling hay without weighing. He was fined
IS and costs.
1t is said that this man has been carrying
on a system of cheating people, in the
weight OF hay, coal or whatever he brings D
market. rs has two wagons, one weighing
about 900 Tbs and the other 200 lbs. When
he sells a load of hay, coal or anything else,
he don't get his wagon weighed but tells
the weighmaster it weighs 900 TBS, thus
cheating his customers 800 Tbs on the heavy
wagon. The weighmaster should require
the wagon to be weighed every time. This
game of cheating, now exposed, should put
people ON their guard, and they should not
take the old weight of wagcn-have it
weighed every time.

A YOUNG LADY

Returning to her country home after sojourn
OF few months in the city, hardly recog-
nlZed by her friends. In place of a coarse, rus
tic, flushed face, she had n soft ruby complexion
OF almost marble smoothness, and instead of
twenty three she really appeared but eignteen.-
Upon inquiry as to the cause of so great change,
she plainly told them that she used the CIk-
CAsSlAA BALM, and considered it an inval-
liable acquisition to any ladys toilet. By its use
any lady or gentleman can improve their personal
appearance an hundred fold. 1t is simple in its
combination, nature herself is simple, vet un-
surpassed in its efficacy in drawing impurities
from, also healing, cleansing and Identifying the
skin and complexion. BY its direct action on
the cuticle it draws from it all its impurities,
kindly healing the same, and leaving the surface
nature intended it should be, clear, soft, smooth
