CITY NEWS.

NIw sroex. T. Huiskamp / Walters have
just received large and splendid stock OF
boots, shoes and CATERS for summer wear.
Call and see them at No. so Main street.
We had tremendous rain yesterday morn.
ing which swept our streets clean, filed our
cisterns, purified the atmosphere, and re-
duced the general temperature very materi-
ally. And we trust it has put q damper on
the q heated term y for the present season.

If the male portion Of the community
could be induced to 9 keep cool = during the
warm weather, y would be advantageous to
themselves and their friends. In order to
accomplish that end it is necessary first to
procure a suit of those linen aduds'' at Ven
Gill, Jones L Cots.
PRISONS who wear heavy clothing during
the heated term are not alive to their own
interests when they can get those elegant
summer suits, at such extremely low figures,
at the clothing establishment Of Hess, Stern
d Co., on Main street, between Second and
Third
PRRsoxAL.-We were pleased to meet on
yesterday Major Hughes, Of the 18th Z. S.
Infantry, who isl spending few days with
his friends in this city, after which he will re-
tnrn 10 his regiment in Dakota Territory.
The Major reports quiet state Of affairs in
tina, portion OF the West, through which be
has travelled.
The regular semi> monthly meeting Of the
Grant and Colf,sx Cab, holden 1t its fur
nished room over Brownell Bros. iron store
last evening, was well attended by the earn
est men Of the party.
After the tran saction Of some important
business, President Bruce introduced Judge
Knowles, who clearly pointed out the real
lssues between the great progressive party
and the tso-calledl democratic party, neces,
sarily exposing the vile demagoguery Of the
Copnerhead leaders exhibited in their rotten
platform.
VIM. Leighton. Esq, followed with one OF
his Characteristic efforts: first ably arguing
the finance question then after, proving
Seymoar's sympathy with treason, by his &C,
tive participation in resisting the draft, and
attempting to convince the people that the
war was failure; and abiding to Blair
dirt eating to secure the empty endorsement
OF the villainonk and ignorant portions of the
populace, he held up for inspection the
first soldier and most virtuous statesman in
our glorious Rgpublic-a pair the world can
not beat, whom the noble freemen of the
land will certainly elevate to the Hottest 20
sltions within their gift.
Prior to adjournment the constitution wa.
amended to provide for weekly meetings, and
many became members of the organization
which is certainly commencing to thrive.
