Everybody is invited to attend. Our city

Tho FARNswoRru Bros, Private Bank
ers in the Odell & Noble block, received
their immense SAFE, safe across the ice
bridge on Wednesday. Its weight is
about $500. 1t cost nearly $4,000
Halls Patent. The devil, if just driven
from the suburbs Of Heaven By Michael,
couldn't get into that safe without learning
the key to its inner lock. There are three
doors to it, and oil Of them ars mysteries.
Messrs. Henry and Bernard Rienow are
carpenter-ing the Farnsworth Bank in the
finest style, and in few days the Bros,
will be ready for business. AUSTIN took
the risky job Of floating the iron and steel
! institution across the river, and Jonny
Border, the team-ist brought it to shore.
uundftts Of people watched its advent to
Iowa. Geo. L. Bass, Shep. Fafnsworth,
Hank Wanzer, John Freeman, and sir
other "riyer hosses'' helped to get it to its
destination FALL is well.'
The G. I. Festival was q splendid
success, netting about 200 dollars......
The German Balls at the Cambrian on
New Years Eve, and night were happy
ones, but Mr.. B. Frese says the enter
prise did not pay him for outlay......
The McGregor Quadrille Band, made up
of such good spirits as Ecker, Conant,
Morris, Church, Keen and Sam Mallette,
mostly Of N. McGregor, will play and call
for parties till they cant rest. John B.
Conant is the second violinist aad the best
caller in the country......See the McGregor
IL. U. movement......W. Mcnamara will
sell farming tools and household goods on
Tuesday, Jan. &c, at his farm near Ossian.
......Decorah has had fire. The papers
from that city are so readable that some
interesting cusses pick them up before we
can clip from them; hence the absence of
q detailed notice from their columns.
Thus far McGregor is lucky: let US use
precaution and keep lucky. See to stove
pipe and chimneys... Last week we mar.
ried Miss Libbie Amsden to Charley Love.
1t was George we meant to bless. All par
ties will pardon ..Clarke's Bau was
"a brilliant one, rs usual. Z. p. dances
like star actor since the rheumatics left
him.
Andy johnson Amnestied everybody on
Christmas and told them to do as they
pleased. lie chose the birthday of the
Saviour for this act Of mercy but that
weighs little with the Mosaic radicals
'"An eye for an eye and a tooth for tooth
-.....Joel Van Orman has some prodigious
bones, found short distance up the river.
They are thought by Van to he the re-

d. Merrill of the Prairie du Chen Cour.
Ter, called to see US. We were not in
when the former called, but we went
through the forms of geniality with the
latter.
Doc. Andres and John W. Gillett, two
old citizens Of Clayton County sat down,
with Paul Castle, Jr., and the writer, on
Newyear's day, and told bear stories at
Kurz's saloon till we are almost afraid to
80 out after dark. Killing eight bears in
one day and in one cave--near Garnavillo
at that's little husky; but we know the
story is true. Judge Price cant you give
us some brief Clayton County hunting
stories. Marshal Hopkins hit country
rough a couple of times on the head
New Years night. The rough bled some
you bet, and went home penitent in the
morning. TIN always hits a large man
twice, if once wont do.
Our John is still absent. We are used
to doing without him and-yet we arc
growing lonesome. Why the ID dom
he come and see us for u day or so and
then leave forNanothep six weeks?
