If such a thing be possible at this stage,
we sincerely hope Gen. Rodman will be
restored to his position. No officer in the
United States Army is better qualified to 90

the improvement Of the Island are scientific
and comprehensive. They command the
admiration OF the resident pnblic, and that

The GREAT CIRCUS AND MESAGERiE.--
On next Monday afternoon and evening
Forepaugh's great circus visits our city
For weeks it has been advertised in q man
ner almost unknown among the followers OF
the tent aud ring heretofore. From all that
we can learn through the medium OF the
press it is certainly worthy Of most liberal
patronage. j is a grand combination OF
novelties and is said to be ono of the larg'
est menageries now travelling in the United
States. The cages containing living ami
mails are twenty-five in number. In this
complete geological collection can be found
all the wonders Of the animal kingdom, af-
fording rare field for the observation Of
the scholar and naturalist, The mensgerie
is so large that separate pavilion is alot,
ted for it's exclusive use. Thus, such per.
sons as are deferred from attending circus
entertainments from religious scruples, can
view the great animal exhibition without
reasonable objection. The equestrian and
acrobatic performances are claimed to be
second to none Of the kind in the country
The very best artists have been secured
and oil who attend can rely on something
worthy Of their time and attention. One
ticket secures admission to both pavillions
This is the las, circus and menagerie Of th'
season, and also promises to be the best
The afternoon performance opens at one O.
clock, and the evening performance a, sew

ARREST OF A CRINISAL.-One night last
week Young man named Charles Crow
went to a shanty occupied by some work.
men laboring on he railroad near BurlinR.
ton, on the contract Of Reynolds, Saulpaugh
& Co., and called up one of the occupants
whom he had grudge against A tussle
ensued, and as Crow was the smaller man
of the two, he was pretty we'll whipped, al.
though his adversary did not appear dispos-
ed to intIict any unnecessary injury. Crow
went off, procured knife of some kind, re.
turned, called out his opponent and cut him
fearfully. The man at last accounts was
lying ct the point of death. Grow succeeded
in making his escape. Our police authori.
ties were forthwith advised to be on the
lookout for the fugitive. Last night (23dl
officers Murrin aud Snyder arrested him in
saloon near the levee at about twelve o..
clock. He was at once committed to ISL.
Information has been telegraphed to Bur.
lington, and an officer will probably be at
once dispatched for the prisoner.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT. a little son of Cap,
kobt Lowry met with serious
accident at the ferry landing yes
terday, at Davenport. He very carelessly
put his foot down between tho wharf and
the edge Of the ferry beat which was just
landing, which came gradually up and
caught it. As soon as the passengers,
number of whom had just landed, saw his
situation, they turned around and pushed
against the cross bar with such force as to
swing the end Of the boat from the landing,
ard his foot was extricated from the peril.
Gus position. If this had not been done i'm
mediately, the boys whole leg would have
been drawn in and crushed to atoms. His
shoe was removed and his foot was found to
be badly injured. DR.. P. Gregg, of this city,
was on the boat and had the boy taken to
DR.. Maxwell's Office, Capt, Lowry's family
physician, who rendered all necessary surg.
ical assistance.

ENTHUSIASTICALLY at the "manly art by

Magistrate Chopper, this morning, for this
offence coupled with drunkenness. He WAS

same score. He was this morning fined $40,
and in default Of paymeu, We. ,ont TO

A great deal of complaint has been made
in regard to boys going in bathing within
the city limits in the day time. This morn
ing Richard Sharkey, James McAdary
Frank Mocker, and John Stanton, were ar,
raigned for this breach Of decorum. They
were all fined, but having no money the
sentence was suspended on their promise to
! offend in this manner no more.

arise from any intention to question the
