The mention of the name OF Mr.. Gable
was. quite unnecessary, because any one
who Knows him intimately knows that he
could not be induced to accept the position.
Whether Mr.. Davenport or Mr.. Kimball
would accept the position Or not we do not
know.
+ By the way, Mr.. Union, if it is not your
fight why don't you keep your nose out of
it?
The race track was visited by quite a
number of citizens, last evening, who wit

There we're, some other trotters on the

Ofracers there were three good ones, viz:
Humboldt, Speneer's colt, and bay mare
from Beardsey's stable and they made an
interesting race There was also fine bay
mare from the country, which made pretty
quarter race; as did also a stallion from
Beardsley' stable.

the following; 5esgfa a-ss. fv
The committee on Fire and Water sub

Your committee, to whom was referred back
the petition in regard to the purchase of Steam

We are informed the above report was
adopted. Why did the ARGUS, in its report
last evening of the Council, omit this p
Rock Island and Moline Union.
The ARGUS omitted nothing, but published
the proceedings precisely as furnished by
the city clerk.
After their publication the city clerk
called at our office and examined the copy.
He wishes us to say that the omission was un,
Intentionally made by him and that he re-
grets the mistake quite as much, probably,
as the Union does. His record was made
correctly, but, in copying it for the printer
he accidentally omitted the following words
viz: (which was adopted 1t should have
read as follows:
"The Committee on Fire and Water sub
mitted the following report, which was adop-
ted .''sz
The insinuation of the Union, or its promp-
ter, that the omission was intentional, is
quite contemptible. 51@

In. bheproper column of this paper will
be, found notice of the marriage of Miss
Emma r. Jones to Mr. William 5. Ander-
ss0n, which occurrence took place last Sun
day,morning, at St. Georges Church., -
n This announcement will doubtless as
tonish many of the friends and acquaint-
sasahees0f the bride and groom. I3,i Ihe yoong
was on a-visit to some friends in this city.
When she left home she had notgthe most
elfehaoee idea Of changing her name. The
{ gentlemen who was so happy as to meet
his ideal of beauty at stlch5 time, urged
s1li1sacase with fervid eI0quence, and pleaded
mot Id vain. This happened on Saturday
basFening, Onthe following Sunday MORN
ing q small wedding party entered st.
'aoe0r3e,s Church, and two hearts were
made one by the sacred bonds of matri-
s1mony. After the marriage knot was lied,
the happy bridegroom told the bride that
he was the son of an English nobleman,
and possessed more than his proportion of
atlAis worlds goods inhis own right, without
reference to "great- expectations OF pa
ternal dnheritanee. This fact be had nth
proved q delightful chapter OF this ro-
nance OF reality. - s3irias
ee Another and concluding chapter was to
follow, which was not SO pleasant to the
contemplation of either of the twain made
ole, and contained most unusual incident
TO such occasions. Indeed, it was the most
romantic circumstance of this most roman
tic ,story After the usual congratulations
saRere over, the wedding party retired from
1sthe church. While on the steps Of the sa-
cred ediice, the bridegroom Informed the
bride and the astonished company that
business Of Importance called him to our
hWegsefn ffontier, and that he would be
compelled 10 leave Immediately for Fort
&Riley. Al carriage was in waitings into
which he stepped, and bidding his fair
BRIDE adiet, soon vanished from sight. She
did not faint, fall; and cOntribHte to anex-
letting scene, for he had taken the precau-
ton to whisper in her ear that he would be

the meantime, to be as happy as she could,

The London, Court sJouRaE remarks:-
ssWhoever cares to look through the battle
pictures ia illustrated serials will find much
f0rIastopishment.' Though the contest may
rage at its climax, no disagreeable smoke
clouds the combatants, but every object is
! revealed with obliging clearness,t Some
firing may go on here and there, but the
field lis principally occupied by infantry
chaEgip with, the bayonct. In precision,
troops move so beautifully that a straight
line drawn from the tip, of the bayonet of
the first man on the left would just Craze
every intervening point, not one weapon
being a. hairs breadth beyond the
line or short of it.. Every. left hand
zgripso the barrel at the same distance
from the lband--every right hand ex-
iactly 3elutehes,the small OF the piece every
butt protudess to the same distance in the
rear. aAnd5so perfectly s'dressed" is the
line, thasif each man should glance to the
lrightor left he would see precisely the re-
quired "buttons" on his neighbor's coat.
Albright legs are stepping out at, the same
time, and all theslefsl heels-are at the same
elevation behind. Looking at such pic
atureo one, cannot help calculating the effect
of asingle shot enfilading the line, and
clipping off fifty sorisixty heads at once. 1t
would be as fatal as Munehausen's ramrod,
which spittel whole platoon of birds at
one fire, or as the lswondrousI cannon ball
discharged by theibesieged Major Gahagan.
