ARRIVED & ARRIyING.-For several days
passed we have noticed that the firm Of
4. X. Barren & Bro. have been receiving
immense quantities of goods, and We are
told that many more are on the way.
Their stock consists of dress goods, carr
petinss, cassimeres, prints, sheetings,
ginghams, sugar, coffee, spices, teas and
hosts of other goods which are usually
kept in Wholesale & Retail store. While
passing their place of business our atten-
ton was called to the very large arrival of
teas, which, among other things, they
make a speciality and can say that it has
Lcen their endeavor to distribute this
article to the consumer at the same price as
any L. Co., thus saving express charges.
The many years of experience which they
have had in mercantile business, assures
us that they have not str:ven in vain bet
merit the confidence reposed in them.
In few weeks their stock will be COM
plete in all departments. We think we can
safely say that all who go to BARRoN's. for
goods will be pleased both with quality
and price, as all goods are guaranteed to be
as represented. Undoubtedly, next week
we shall have them adveitized when all
can see what bargains are and where to
find them.

The Marbles.

The Marbles.
We have no reference to that everlasting
game of pleasantly which boys will for
ever practice, but to the Troupe of VIM.
Marble, now travelling the country. They
have besn several days with us, at the
Cambrian, and played to as happy houses
as ever sat to hear. They were not SO well
patron;zcd as their artistic and social merit
deserves, but no one heard them without
the warmest appreciation. They all play
we'll. MARBLE, the son of DAN, (the best
Yankee comedian that ever convulsed a
theatre with humor, inherits in large de-
gree his fathers talent, and "brings down
the house" when he wishes to. Mr.. and
Mrs. Allen are complete, and so, in fact,
are all of them. We wish them abundant
success, and do not hesitate to say they
richly deserve it. On Monday of this week
they played Ten Nights in Bar-room'' /,
by request of the Good Tcmplars and other
citizens, for the benefit of the McGregor
City Library, now in temporary charge Of
the Templars. The house was only fair
one, but the acting was applauded through
out. In this time of many shows, and very
close times for money, the troupe did as
well as could be expected. When VIC all
grow richer we may again expect them. A
few personal hits on some of our citizens
were relished by the audience. We acceI I

The army officers here are quite aston
ished at Gen Shcrman's mode Of doing
business. An officer, on yesterday, called
to confer with him as to breaking up Lr-
cola barracks, near the city, and asked
him what he should do with the property.
" Burn it, burn it, sir" said Sherman I'M
pctuously. "General,n said the officer,
''please put your order in writing and
will obey" BURN it, burn it," again
exclaimed Sherman. The officer asked
for his written orders therefor, when the
general asked what was the value. lie
was informed that it was worth $500, 900
WELL" said Sherman, s. the fact is this
city is bad place for soldiers, and l wal
to get them all away from it. You had
better put it up for sale. and clean the
thing out quick Subsequently Ger
Emory called to ascertain what orders he
had for his department. What depart

There may be room for improvement.
Why may not all our travels by rail and

Why may not Courts be held, witnesses

Professor Shaw, our scientific cores

entitled to credit for making March
weather pretty much to suit him. Look
over his predictions for this month. Mr..
Shaw is a brilliant scholar, an old
gentleman of the English type, and we
are pleased to know that hundreds of our
readers notice carefully what he says in
his articles to the TINES.
Since our last issue, We have had wealth
err that has spring-like face and feeling,
To-day Wednesday, it is almost Sum-
merry. The ice is rotting; horses arc
falling through near the shore; freight
transportation is hazardous; before
Monday, we expect to see the Ferry boat
at our wharf. Our crossing is always
safe, because none but careful men ''run''
on the river. We formally bid goodbye
to the icy breastworks Of the Mississippi
for the Spring Of 1869.

MoNoNA.-This wide-awake town is
marching onward rapidly to distinction.
Its situation in the midst of one of the
finest agricultural regions in the world,
its Railroad facilities and nearness to the
river render it most desirable as location
for business, domestic convenience or for
health. We notice that Wise & Williams
have taken the Mason House, now called
"Our House." 1t is fixed up inside almost
entirely new, and every attention is paid
to the large number of guests the house
is now entertaining. The new landlords
are workers, and we predict success for
them.
