ALMOST DrsAsrER.-At about half past
seven o'clock this morning, (l3th,) quite a
levee. The popular steamer Iowa City had
not then left for Clinton. The wind was
blowing very strongly, when the stove pipe
leading from her cabin, having become red
hot, set fire to the woodwork around it, and
threatened to create serions conhagration.
The alarm was at once raised. Capt. Pierce
was one of the first persons on hand, and
with the assistance of others, and by dint of
some exertion, the fire WAS extinguished.-
Had it been allowed to obtain the least head
| way, disaster would have certainly resulted,
Is the strong wind would have rendered all
efforts to the contrary, entirely fruitless.

WTT-sUCH AS 1T wAs.-From the Daven-
port Democrats report of the proceedings of
the Scott County Institute, we clip the fol-
lowing lines:
Miss Seofeld read a rather spicy critics report,
including the reading from the Rock Island
Union, a notice of the excursion of the Institute
to the Island, in which that paper made q very
feeble attempt at wit, and showed state of ig-
noranoe truly remarkable fora journal published
In such an enterprising city.
We understand that the teachers and
scholars of our sister city have expressed
the utmost indignation at the blind stupidity
and malignance of the Union, and pledge
| themselves to bear it in mind. The simple
rules of courtesy and good breeding, should
have impelled that journal to have respected
visitors to our city, especially when engaged
IN 30 honorable an avocation, but complete
Ignorance of what these rules are, offers some
palliation for its offense.

In few minutes the patient win feel slight
tineling irritation and the skin becomes red
dened; if there is much distress in the stomach,
the Relief will assist nature in removing the
offending cause,-a general warmth is felt
throughout the entire body, and its diffGsve
stimulating properties rapidly courses through
every vein and tissue Of the system, arouSing the
slothful and partially paralyzed glands and
organs to renewed and healthy action, perspira-
ton follows, and the surface of the body feels
increased heat. The sickness at stomach, colds,
chills, headache. oppressed breathing, the sore
ness of the throat, and all pains, either inter-
nally or externally, rapidly subsde, and the pa
tent falls into tranquil sleep, awakes refresh
ed, inyigorated, cured.
1t will be found that in using the Relief ex-
ternally, either on the spine or across the kid
neys, or over the stomach and bowels, that for
several days after a pleasing warmth will be
felt, showing the length of time it continues its
influence over the diseased parts.
