East Third street, Cincinnati, U. d&wlt
THAT DRAWING. Only short time remains
in which to take tickets in that Grand Draw
ing at Z. Hammers. We examined the
articles yesterday. There is magnificent
FIRST class piano; splendid lady's gold watch,
q child's piano, various articles Of jewelry
and silver ware, and other things that it is
desirable to have. The drawing will take
place in few days. Go at once and invest,
1t is grand chance to get valuable and
handsome prize.
In other cities much comment has been
started in regard to "swill milk retailed
very extensively as genuine, pure article.
And it would not be amiss for Keokukians to
think also Of this "milk question" for in
"swill milk ~ is concealed the seeds Of dis
ease. Who is your milkman? Be very GER
tain that he dispenseth to you only pure ar
ticle. If there is any doubt about the matter
satisfy yourself at once, for a neglect to do
so may work life>long injury to yourself and
family. Be warned in time.
Medical CoLLEGE.-The closing exercises

University, for the session of 1866-67, just
closed, will be held in the Medical College
Hall this Tuesday evening at u o'clock.
The Degree Of Doctor Of Medicine will be
conferred upon large graduating class by
Prof. L. j. Gillett, after which the Valedic-
tory Address will be delivered to the class by
Prot. A. W. Carpenter.
The Keokuk Band will be in attendance
The friends of the College, ladies and gen
tlemen, are respectfully invited to be present:
THAT Musical Convention opens tonight.
Here will come the lovers Of music in our
city, and make this and next week vocal with
melody. There's lots of capital music lying
around loose and uncultivated in Keokuk.
These institutes will organize it, or recon.
struct it, or cultivate, or so perfect it's def,
mite expression, that it will become Joy
unto many persons. Prof. Kilbourne has
conducted one convention in our place, and
received high encomiums from parties com
petent to pas an opinion herein. The ensuing
Session promises to be entertaining and
profitable. The meetings will be at the Con
gregational Church.
THAT drunken crowd which assembled on
the corner of Eighth and Blondeau streets on
Sunday evening, and there for time made
the evening hideous with their loud talk and
terrible oaths, was rather unusual exhibi.
ton of indecency and rowdyism. Devotion
ii services in church close by we're dis.
turbed by the rowdies. If the british ma.
lures Of individuals can't be restrained, and
they must make an exhibition of the same,
in the name of decency let that disgusting
spectacle be performed far away from the
temple of worship, that the loud.mouthings
and coarse Billingsate may not mingle with
the devotional exercises Of Christian so.
