years old, son of the late Col. e. FL. Scribner,
in company with Two aSsociatesawas in boat
n ar the Marston bridge, on the Messalonskee,
in quest of game, and in springing from the
boat to the shore his gun was accidentally dis
charged while his right hand was over the
muzzle. The whole charge of buckshot, with
waddiDg and burning powder, entered the
hand at the palm and passed up in the centre
OF the wrist half way to the elbow, shattering
all the bones, muscles, VEINS and arteries in its
way, and making an opening, from entrance
to exit, large enough to pass the irrel of his
gun. He was assisted home by his compau-
ions, and his wound was dressed by Dr. Cros-
by; since which time he is reported doing
well, though IN much danger of secondary
hemorrhage, which would demand immediate
amputation.

WHAr IT MEANT.-Most of our citizens
were astonished, when Tom Robinson intro
duced resolution before the Board Of Trade.
two weeks ago, recomme nding the City
Council to provide that all orr street i'm
provements should hereafter be carried on at
the expense of the property adjoining them.
This was a new feature TO most of those
present, and excited some curiosity as to the
real objective point of this eccentric move
on the part of our most erratic mariner.
They knew that he had an axe to grind, but
upon whose especial grind stone, they could
mt exactly The matter has finally
come to light. Rob-us-some had made ar
rangements with Ed. Spencer, and Supervis-
or Wright, to have the street improved in
front Of his residence, and to have a costly
stone ditch constructed along the entire front
Of his property, at the expense Of the city,
all of which has since been done. That was
all Rob-ussome wanted out of the city of
Rock Island. When he had succeeded in
getting an arrangement to improve his prop
erty at the public expense, he proposed 70
shove his little resolution through the Board
of Trade, control the City Council, aud then
escape his share of taxation for the benefit
of the streets in other portions of the city,
All this was very shrewd, and did honor to
his well known "dead beat" qualifications,
but the Poor Heirs are finally played out,
the giraffe is visible, and Rob-us-some can
consider himself shelved for some time to
come.

In this city, on Saturday the 9th of May 1858,
at the residence of Mr.. George Mohl, her brother
in-law, of congestion of the brain, Miss MARIA
EvESER, daughter of George and Rachael Evener,
of Coal Valley township, aged 10 years.
Mss- Maria had come to Rock Island to stop a
few days with her sister, where she was taken
sick. She was mot thought to be in danger until
the morning of her death-too late to notify her
parents, who, of course, did not know Of her i'll
ness until they heard she was no more. The ter
ribie news was afiiction almost beyond their
endurance. She was favorite and very bright
GIRL and her many friends, especially her school
mates, as well as her afflicted parents, deeply
mourn her sudden decease. Her remains were
buried in Chippiannock Cemetery, on Monday
the nth instant. 4@S

A PeINT FOR NoN-ADyERrIsERs.-
kimball, our popular wagon manufacturer,
informs us that an old customer of his (who
never bought an article in the wagon line
anywhere else in his life when he could buy
it of him) recently went up to Geneseo and
purchased a democrat wagon, under
the erroneous supposition that Mr.. Kim
ball had gone to Chicago. He had heard
such rumor, and couldn't find has adper-
tisement in the Rock Island papers. A bet
ter little sermon on the necessity of keeping
before the public in the proper manner,
hasn't transpired, in our knowledge, for some
time. Mr.. Kimball informs us that he pro-
poses to advertise within three days, and not
to be caught in such "snap" again. Sen
sible.

race would cheerfully deliver them my
horse. l am now fully convinced the YER

responsible gentlemen, to trot the respec-

THE CAMPAIGN ARGUS!
EVERY FAMILY SHOULD HAVE IT!
Only One Dollar.

The coming Presidential cam
| paign win be one of the most i'm
| portant ever held in this conn
try. 1T will decide whether our
Government is to be preserved and
administered in accordance with the
principles of the Constitutions, or
whether it shall lapse into central
power and, at last, into a military
despotism. 1t is subject of the
highest Importance that arrange
ments be made for furnishing the
people with proper reading matter,
in order that they may be informed
upon the issues to be voted on. For
this purpose we offer to furnish the
WEEKLY ARGUS in clubs of ten
copies or more, all sent to one man,
and for distribution among people
who are not now subscribers, at 81
each, for six 1nonths-all in each
club of ten or more to pay in ad-
vance and all in each club to COM
mence and end at the same time.
OF course we can only make bare
paying business, at this rate, but we
do it for the purpose of helping en-
tighten and arouse the people, hop
ing thus to increase the democratic
vote.
Each township should have it's
central committee and its democratic
association, and appoint active, re-
liable committees for each school
district. And the school district
committees should see that clubs
are raised to supply every family
with a paper. The money must al
ways accompany the order, as no
papers will be sent until the money
is received. Direct letters to
