De Ravens Circus will be here on Mon
day next, May 3lst, but their agents ala
not authorize us to say it is a good thing'
and We leave the public to form their own
oninion. De Haven used to be No. J
Showist, but if his ''policy'' is of the
Charley Shay style we have little interest
in him. Knowing him Of old we want him
to have "house''-hcnce this notice..
Doc TAYLOR, of the Lansing Chronicle, is
in town, as nice as ever in everything that
goes to make warm>hcarted gentleman.
SAN, wife, and little one, called on us.
few days since, and we learned that Doc.
intended to come and see us. We wanted
to speak of all the Chronicle family at
once, and therefore we let Sam. 5. llais-
lett Tone of our boys of '56) 'slidc" till
now. No want of regard caused the omls-
sion. and the man who is here referred to
KNOWS it. May the Chronicle, in its pre-
sent able and industrious hands, be sue
cessful until Gabriel pitches that keynote
which will summon all of us to ''the great
white throne of which we have heard 50
much. The new postage stamps arc
pretty, but we see no reason why the old

Expense seems to be the principal forte of
radicalism.
Mr.. VIM. w. Simpkins lost a pair Of
silver bowed spectacles on the Garnuvlllo
road, or in the city of McGreso,, on Fri
day last. In the tin spectacle-case were
three five dollar bills. If the finder will
re urn the case and contents to either of
the printing Offices of McGregor, he may
retain one of the greenbacks as reward
for his honesty.
Ed. Week. Insurance man, and T. d.
Bayless, druggist, both Of Elkader, called
at us a day or two since, and behaved as
pleasantly as if McGregor had always been
their home. II S singular how soon real
gentlemen conform to the customs of a
city,. Monona is to have the grandcst
ball on the 4th, ever heard Of. The Nc
Gregor Cotillion Band will ''call' the
young folks to time...... Elkader is to have
a 4th of July. We have not been invited
to ''orate:" we will probably write Bigo-
low, Crane, Hunt, "Si!e," Knapp, go"
or any other committee u letter of thanks.
We somehow expect to raise the devil at
McGrcgor on that natal day of Liberty,
but our boys go very slow. CHRIS. amt
you ready to stir up the youth, and organ
ize? How can we live without Fourth
of July ?......Malohe & Co., are getting
farm machines so plenty that they are
renting all the places in the city to shelter
them.
Stoncman is cxcavating in the rear OF the
stone building lot, with view to clear the
old eyesore out and build three story
brick during the coming summer. Chas.
Budde, the workist, is using the 10 feet Of
mountain excavation to protect, secure,
.nud build an outway from his wharf lum-
ber-yard to Bass and IIencke street,.......
Strawberries and ice-cream are in towr.
Inquire about them. Our esteemed
friend, a TINES Office printer, and an ex-
celent one, John A. Cruzan, now titled
by the appellation of Reverend Git seems
funny to us !! is in charge of the Garna-
villo Cong. Church. lie knows we like
him, and if his parishioncrs knew him as
we'll as We do they would be so much at
tached to him that he would never so
away.
