North Iowa times. [volume] (McGregor, Iowa) 1867-current, 1868-08-26

We are in receipt of an advance copy
(%extra) of the proceedings of the Demo-
cratic Congressional Convention at West
Union. "Yours truly" Messrs. Rickel &
McClintock.. Report did have it that }.
G. Fales of Montana, was at Omaha, in a
state of inansial retiracy, and that Char
ley Lacy and d. S. Cook were in the same
place and same fix. We mention the
above with regret, and hope the next re-
port from them will be better. In the
very West it is not always certain when
you have q fortune. erich to-day and
poor tomorrow is a general axiom in
countries noted for mining......Wc are in
receipt of the Boston Pilot containing a
notice Of thedeath of r. 5. S. Andres, ESQ.,,
brother to Doctor F. Andres of McGregor.
We made his acquaintance some years
since in this city, while on a visit to his
friends. 1t pains us very much to record
his death, but it is gratifying to all who
knew him to see the kindness in which his
memory was embalh,.e ed at home. Next
week the Plot notice of the man, and a
most beautiful poem from the pen Of the
deceased. Geo. Twinem, the chief clerk
of the commission house of Bass & Elmen-
dorf and the man who knows all "der
Schteam poats" came home last week from
his escort trip with Sam j. Peterson to see
Sam locked up in holy bonds. Witness
ing a marriage has improved Twinem's
looks very much. He says he is ready, on
call, to accompany Ben johnson, or any
other man to the altar. 10 RAMAGE will
reach home in a few days, unless that star
in the east does not become so almighty
bright as to dazzle away his cye-sight.
Robberies are quiet. Several dcvilmcnts
were perpetrated at Pr. du CHEN. The
Sheriff and posse broke up the boat-den
opposite N. McGregor. Armstrong of Pr.
du Chen lost a $500 bond in day time.
A fellow pretending to sell jewelry came
to his house and while exhibiting to Mrs.
A. took advantage of her momentary alb
sence and-the bond is gone! No clue
to its rccovery......H. Boyle is at home; he
wants hands to assist him on a contract
taken with the Chicago, r. l. & P. II. X.
...... The Barnard family left for St. Paul
on Saturday; Frank and younger brother
only at home. We hope they will get ac-
quainted with u Indiana friends on the
same boat. The last bell sent us ashore too
quickly to permit us giving introductions...
Bassett & Hunting, the twins Of McGresor
Commercial trade, are at home from the
east-families in Long Island. REV.
MIR. Stifler and lady left us on Monday
morning. Mr.. S. has concluded to com
plete his theological course before accept
ing a permanent call.
d. L. Lindley has surrendered the Ian
sing Mirror to Tom G. Medary. A new
Democratic paper will be started at Ian
sing. Dave dies game and hopes soon to
resurrect......Geo w. Haiselet is still run
ing the Register, reports to the contrary
&c. Long may he wave!...... Thanks to
Folsom of Pr. du Chen for melons and
vegetables and to o. II. Moon of Giard, fer
three whales of melons the shell of one
OF them would almost make a circus tent.
......Diamond 10. is a looker.on at Nc
Gregor frequently. His Ida Fulton, Capt
Bisbee went up on Thursday loaded and
barged to the edge. JOS Diamond Line is
a blessing to shippers on this river and we
like to see his boats full of trade.
