There is no railroad in existence in which

New FERRY.-A new ferry across the
Mississippi river, opposite Moline, is to be
established on the opening of navigation.
Messrs S. ". Wheslock, John Deere and
other enterprising business men of Moline
are the corporators of the ferry company,
and will conduct the ferry in the interest of
that place, by offering the lowest possible
rates to Iowa farmers desiring to do business
with the mills at that place. They will pro,
badly then be able to attract some business
to Moline until the free.carriage bridge over
the Mississippi at this place shall be com.
pleted-and then all Scott county can, and
large portion Of it will come here 10 trade,
Farmers naturally seek the most eastern
point possible for marketing their produce
and procuring their supplies, as they can
there sell highest and buy lowest. For
al such purposes the bridge will practically
make it solid ground between this place and

GALLANTRY WAsTED.-A scene which a
French sketchst who has q national liking
for II coHho,mps would have laughed to
swing his crayon, upon was witnessed
Tuesday evening, at the masquerade ball at
the Turner'S Hall. There came in among
the maskers that evening al apparently pref.
tily formed lady, graceful, petite, etc, and
her face hidden from view by mask. She
was evidently lady Of ultra fashionable
tendencies for she was afflicted with most
palpable"Grecian bend" She mixed among
the dancers, was sought out as partner by
several individuals in the room, and her
dancing was truly feminine and gracefully
undulating. So great, undoubtedly,wer the
attractions that the mask hid from view,that
she was persstenty prosecuted by train Of
admirers, till at last to escape them she ox.
pressed her determination to 60 home. Pc.
licemsn Mitsch was on hand, to preserve
order, though his services were unnecessary
in this particular. The lady accordingly &C
costed him and asked that Que of the police
men be sent home with her. Mitsch, who
appreciates the duties as well as the ameni.
ties of his Office, made tender Of his own ser.
vices. They were accepted aud the pair
started up Illinois street, MitsCh kept inquir.
ing from time to time how far off her house
waste which the Bender gave an indefinite
answer. After going some distance they
pasued before store on Illinois street when
au undisguisedly male voice said, ~ guess
I'll 60 no farther, Mitscb." Mitsch acknowl.
edged the sell and they adjourned to take
"zwei glass"
1t is creditable to the inherent gallantry
Of Officer Mitsch, as we'll as to his thorough
attention to the duties of his office, that he
undertook TO engineer what he deemed to
be modest dAmsel, home. 1t is the duty
of gentleman to, at all times, assist a lady
when she desires it. But it is more especial
ly the duty of policeman to be at all times
of the day and night at the service of both
men and women. And Mitsch has in this
instance shown himself to be equal to his
duty.
