ex-City Marshal Chopper has been induced
by his numerous friends, and the seeming
requirements of the public, to open detec'
tive Office in Buford's Block, and is now
prepared to attend to all business which
properly belongs in that line. Holding the
Office of constable, he viii also attend to all
collections, serve processes in due form OF
law, &C., &c. His long and efficient service
to our community while holding the Office Of
city marshal, is well known to all. His &C.
tivity, sagacity and success as detective
have established for him valuable and fiat
tering reputation. He is thoroughly &C.
quainted with all "the ropes" of Rock Island
and vicinity, and a better man for this espe-
eial business cannot be found. It is unnec.
essary to state that be can be trusted with
the most implicit confidence in any emergen-
cy; while in business matters, his honor and
honesty are above suspicion. For working
mp difficult cases, we don't think he can be
surpassed. His long residence here, his
wide acquaintance, his acknowledged abili-
~, and his deserved popularity will, without
doubt, command liberal and lucrative pat
| ronage. To parties abroad, we would men.
ton the unexceptionable references attached
to his card, and add our own unreserved rec

WHILE in Springfield, last week, we called
on our old-time townsman, Hon. Harmon G.
Reynolds, now the publishe- of the Masonic
Tro1cel, and the secretary of the Grand
Lodge of Masons for this state. He is
looking so fresh and young that one would
not suppose him to be much over forty
but we suppose he must be near sixty. He
was one OF the earliest postmasters at this
place, and, for many years, publisher of a
newspaper here. He is a sound democrat
and greatly pleased with the excellent dem
ocratic ticket now before the people.

BoDY IDENTIFIED.-From Mr.. Joseph o.
Lundblad, of Swanson's shoe store, we learn
that the body found in the river yesterday
the 20th) was identified as that of q man
named Andrew Frank Tall, Swede tailor,
aged As, the I'd. day of Dec. last, and who
came to this country last summer, arriving
in Moline the latter part of last July. He
had been at work during the winter, in Dav
export, for tailor named Frebury, but had
quit on account of insufficient wages. Some
FIVE weeks ago, about the time of the flood,
he started from Moline to go to Davenport
to seek work and was never afterwards heard
Of He is represented as having been q very
steady, industrious, good msn,-but he was
| in quite INDECENT circumstances, having ex-
pended all he had to get to this country.
Being poor, and out of work, and having
family on his hands, he may have ended his
troubles by drowning--or he may have acci-
dentally slipped through the ice while at
tempting to cross it. His wife and daughter
identified his clothing, and moaned bitterly
| over the loss of loved husband and father.
