THE fine exhibition of cattle, at our fair,
by Mr.. Whtsitt, and by Mr.. Sears, COM
manded the admiration of all. These gen.
tlemen are doing much to excite the ambi.
ton of our farmers, and induce them to i'm
prove their breeds of cattle. Mr.. Whitsitt has,
for many years, devoted much attention to i'm
proving the breeds of cattle, horses and
hogs; and has shown the farmers that it is
not only highly honorable business, (nohe
more so,) but ut pays" He had five
stalls of fine cattle and eight stalls of ele-
giant horses and colts His black stallion,
Columbus Duke" is very beautiful ami
mal,-and every animal he had on the
ground was much admired.

Commemorative errors occurred in our
report Of fair items. viz: We said Under
wood & Bogue had agricultural implements
on exhibition. This is mistake-they had
none at the fair.
We also said, referring to the exhibitors OF
stoves, tin ware, stove furniture &C., that
Hass & Kane took the first premium, but
We should have said GLASS & Kane took the
first premium on copper stove.furniture. -
The blue ribbon was attached to their cop,
per furniture and the furniture was on the
stove, thus leading us to think ali included
in one premium. The error was ours
The first premium on stoves was given t.
Swiler & Spencer. Hass & Kane are entire
" satisfied with their success, as it was on
work of their own manufacture. They re-
quest attention to our local column.

JONES, THE PHoToGRAPHIsT, was suddenly
reduced from a position of comfort and In

THE HOME COMFORT.

The undersigned cheerfully bear testimony to
the excellent qualities of the Home Comfort cook
ing stove. We have used several different stoves,
but can truthfully say that the Home Comfort is
greatly superior, in every particular, any stove
of which we have any knowledge. The saving
of fuel, and the and quickness with which it
does its work are qualities deserving of especial
mention. AS quick and very superior baker it
has not, in our opinion, equal.

LAST NIGHT OF THE THEATRE-A SPLEEN
DID BILL-GIvE EN- Coon HoUsE-THE1
DESERVE IT.-Mr. Plunkett's theatrica
troupe is the best ever seen in Rock Island
and has given very general satisfaction to
all who have seen their performances. The
company opened here with prejudice, not
! against them, but against all travelling the
atricals; but this they have overcome and
| rendered themselves popular with the pub
| lie generally a.
| No equal of Mr.. Marble, as comedian,
has ever been in this city. Mr. Richards is
leading actor, of merit. Mr.. Allen per-
| forms his parts excellently well. Mr.. Rush
| does the old man, tip-top. And Miss Nellie
Boyd is a universal favorite, doing every
thing well which she undertakes. There
are many others of merit among the COM
them.
The manager, Mr.. C. Plunkett, is gen.
tleman, in every sense of the word, and so is
the treasurer, Mr.. l.. j. jackson; and the
door keepers, usherers, and all connected
with the establishment are deserving of
praise.
Last night, Marble, the capital commedi-
an, was in his best vein, and won the ad-
miration and cheers of all. And Miss Mel
lie, as "Capitola," elected great applause.
Tonight the great fenian drama of Rob-
ert Emmett, will be presented.
Miss Nellie Boyd, the graceful and much
admired dancer, will give US one more of her
exquisite dances.
And the whole will conclude with "Seeing
Marble, or that Rock Island Policeman"
Give EN- arousing house-they deserve it.
The Davenport Democrat of last evening
says:
During the past week the troupe have been
performing in Rock Island, and after over
coming the prejudice against theatricals by
meritorious performances, have established
themselves firmly in the good graces of the
citizens of our sister city. We have repeat
eddy witnessed their renditions of some of
the finest plays in the legitimate drama,
and it affords US much pleasure to be able
to conscientiously recommend them to our
theatre goers as a company in every respect
worthy of liberal support.

ATTEMPTED SHARP PRAcrIcE.--This fore
noon (the 7th) the overseer ofpoorin Dayen
port was sent, by the Scott county board O
supervisors, to take poor family to Rock
Island and leave them here, which was done
The result was that Supervisor Stoddard
had him arrested and he was, when we went
to press, hunting for bail.
The facts are that the family once lived in
Hampton but moved to Davenport last Oc
tober, and were then and for sometime after
wards capable of taking care of themselves
In FEBRUARY last the husband died, while the
family were residents of Davenport, and
thus deprived OF his assistance, they became a
public charge. TheScott county supervisors
had neither legal or moral right to send
them here, and have probably made them.
