Spring Bed.
If there is one thing in life, in sleep or
in death which Is most pleasant to occupy,
it is bed that has motion to it. A plank
floor will do when we are very tired; the
earth is not bad when re-someness en-.
tirely overcomes us; but woo-ing one to
slumber after the WEAKNESS of the day,
requires more delicate organism Of un-
derneath arrangements to solace human
being. Messrs. Mcdaniel & Henion, OF
Dubuque, are benefactors. They have in
vented and patented the "Hawkeye Spring
Bed" sleaping pet that will charm both
maiden and bachelor in it's easy effect upon
the human system. Mcssrs.y.D.Symar and
A. W. Tanner, of Dubuque, are exhibiting
this consoling bed at the Metropolitan
Hotel, of McGregor, and they will be
pleased to show it up to all who desire q
sample for use or to those who wish to
dispose of Town, County or State Rights
for reasonable consideration.

A few days since TIN HorK1Ns, Mar
shall of this city, by request of friends of
the party, took possession of the person
of JOHN TURNEY, a young man of Is to
~, whose parents reside in North Nc.
Gregor. John has been insane since
July last, and the Marshal started with
him, Nov. Goth, per Steamer Muscatine,
for the State Asylum. There was
crowded boat and while TIN was en-
deavoring to secure State Room for the
poor invalid so that he might be watched
carefully during the passage below leaving
him in close charge of several persons and
hearing cheerful news from him, Mr..
Hopkins made application to the Clerk of
the boat for berth. Mr.. II. was absent
but few minutes when the unfortunate
young man sprang into the water. The
certificate below exonerates Hopkins Of
blame in the matter.
STEAMER. MUsCATINE.
This is to certify that the undersigned
were passengers on the Mascatine on her
trip from McGregor to Dubuque, Nov.
10th, 1868, and were witnesses to the
faithfulness with which Marshal Hopkins
watched over the insane young man in his
charge, and that between 6 and 7 p. NJ.
of that day while Hopkins was trying to
secure State Room in which he could
confine said unfortunate, the young man
started without warning and jumped or
stumbled into the river. The Steamer
was stopped at once, a small boat was
Immediately out but no trace of the young
man could be found. This occurred Just
below Cassville.

Belvidere; j. 7. Howard, Middleton ILL.,;
Chas. D. Rood, New York City; L. j.
Hepman, Str. Nuscatine; j. c. Rich,

McNally, Chilicothee No.; William w.
Vandyke, Keokuk; S. L. Dedmann, Fulton
Ill.,; VIM. G. Harris. Millersburg No.; Z.
G. Bailey, MIMI, and others.
We give unsual space to this casualty,
because some of the friends Of the insane
talk unkindly of Hopkins. If God ever
made better-hearted man than L. H.--a
kinder guide or more faithful officer, it
has not been our fortune to meet him.
Like the writer of this, he is long ways
from perfect, but if he ever done wrong
in public trust, it was no error of the
heart. In this community defence of
Slim Hopkins is unnecessary.

The violent act of intervention of the United

If these loans were allowed to be paid. He
iustifies the European capitalists in making
these loans, and argues that what may one
