A Genius.

We have observed some oil paint
ings from the hands Of our friend G..
q. Peters, from time to time, which
plainly enough indicated that he is
an artist of no ordinary capacity
naturally; rough diamond, if you
please, who only requires the appli-
cation of culture, and polish, which
comes of practice, to make him a bril-
liant reputation as q paintist.
We suppose that the readers of
the COURIER will admit that he is
master of the philosophy Of adver-
tising. To write an advertisement,
which is sufficiently original exter.
nally and internally, to attract the
eye and enchain the attention, of the
reader, until it is thoroughly scanned,
requires man to thoroughly under
stand the genius-and we may say
the poetry Of advertising. Charley
is master of this art, and has an ad,
vertisment elsewhere, which every
body will read, whether they believe
word he says or not.
After reading his unique bulletin,
go and see him, and if you don't find
Peters 4 Go. to be as fair, and liberal,
and honorable, and as low as any
house in the State, then you can say
that the COURIER don't know any
thing about it.

Albert ID. Richardson, died yesterday
morning at o'clock, Of the wound re.
ceived several dav's ago in the New York

Mcfarland.
Richardson has been prominently be.

journalist and magaxinist. He with
Julius Henri Brown, was captured In
running the enemies batteries at Vicks.
burg, and was Imprisoned for months,
and wrote q readable account Of the same
after his release. HI wrote also one
of tho first, and decidedly the best book
on the Pacific Railroad, &C.. with which
the public has been flooded.
Atthe time of his death he was regu.
lar attachc of the Tribune, besides being q
monthly contributor Of able papers to the
atlantic.
came acquainted with McT Tarland and wife
at which time the latter was managing
70 exc out scanty subsistence for her
family. the husband being confirmed and
worthless Grunkard. Mrs. McFar land
was subsequently compelled TO go to In
diana and remain there long enough to
procure divorce from her brutal hus-
band
Prior and subsequently TO the eprocuring
of the divorce, Richardson was the friend
and svmpathizer with this abused wo-
man in her Affections, which friendship
was Of an honorable character no doubt
from the fact that they were married day
before yesterday, by Revs. Beecher and
rockingham.
This man Mcfarland from AL we can
learn Of the case. had no shadow Of justifi.
cation for his cowardly attempt on Rich
ardson's life somc two years ago, much
less for the foul murder which he has just
accomplished.
Now let us see if a man can pursue his
victim in the State of New York, with
brutal ferocity and finally shoot him to
death, for no cause, except that his victim
had extended to his outraged wife, the
ordinary humanities of life, and that mur-
der yet be allowed to 60 unpu nished.

The Cleveland Tragedy,

The Board of Directors of the I'd
National Bank, of Cleveland, Ohio,
have just made . statement of the de.
falcation Of their late Cashier, J. G.
Buell., and report that 1t amounts in
the aggregate to N77,O00.
twill be remembered that this
man Jeptha G. Buell. committed sui.
eide on the morning Of the 18th Of
Nov. last, by shooting himself with :
pistol in his own house: We were
for many yearspersonally acquainted
with him, before he arrived at his ma
|jority, and while he was engaged as
Deputy Treasurer Of Cuyshoga coun-
ty, Ohio; Geo. G. Dodge, Esq, whose
daughter he afterwards married, be-
ing then the Treasurer. He was at
bis death about IS years Of age, and
was from his boyhood up remarkable
for his extraordinary business talent,
When but about seventeen years Of
age, as Deputy Treasurer, aforesaid,
he, to large extent, did the business
Of the Office. in which about $1,OOO,-
600 of taxes were collected annually.
He had the uuboundod esteem and
confidence Of the officers and direct
ors ofthc I'd Nat. Bank, and being
possessed of an inordinatc ambition
to become immensely wealthy, aud
having an overweening confidence
In his Judgment in financial matters,
he was led to use the funds of the
bank in the recent gold gambling
speculation in New York, in which
he was undoubtedly worsted to the
extent Of at least s1,o0o,OOo. He
very deliberately made tull state
ment Of the funds of the Bank that
he had used, leaving it for the infor-
nation ofthe directors, and adding
the significant language, "You, gon-
tentlomcn, have lost your money, and
l my life."
On Monday morning he said to his
wife, when called to breakfast, that
she should take the children and 20
down, and that he would follow in q
few moments. After she left the
room, he got on to the bed and rolling
himself up in the clothes to drown
the noise of the pistol, shot himself
through the heart. He had an insu-
rance upon his life in favor ofhis wife
of about 1000.

Disastrous Fire.

Again our city hos been visited by
the terrible 6end-Fire Last night,
about II o'clock, MIR. Louis Schworm
in returning home, discovered "a
strong light in Mr.. M. Maguires store
room, and in looking through the WIN
dow, the heat was so intense as to
drive him back. He Immediately
gave the alarm, and soon the fire
broke out, entirely destroying the
buildings and consuming the stock of
goods, which belonged to NJ. Mcguire,
and valued at $4,000, onwhich he had
"a, 500 ins. Tho ba2tiing was owned
by Mr.. Strang, which was insured for
$500.
The following are the Companies
and amount Of Maguirss Insurance.
$1,000 in Winnesheik, of Freeport, ILL.,,
on stock. $50 in same on Fixtures
and furniture. $1,000 in National
Davenport, Iowa, on stock. $1,000
in Home, Davenport, Iowa, stock.
$500 IN Davenport Fire, on stock.
$500 in Davenport Fire, on building.
Total $3.50.
The FIRE communicated with Ed.
Moriarty's, on tho east, entirely de-
stroying his building; though his
stock Of groceries were nearly all
saved. Loss $1,000. $3.50 insur.
ance, in Union, Des Moines, and
Winneshiek, Of Ill.
West of Mcguire, Mr.. Joseph

ALI his furniture and materials saved.
Loss 5000. Insured in the Iowa State

Next west, Mr.. N. Watcher, boot
and shoe shop, and Walter Green's
barber shop. The building was near
ly demolished. Estimated loss $4,000.
Insured in Western, Des Moines, for
$1,000. Mr.. Watchers family lived
up stairs. but were got out without
mishap. Walter Green's loss IS trif-
ling, if anything.
Across the street, in Union block,
which has been threatened with de-
structlon several times, but still

Gently occupied by Potts bro, to the
amount OF $50. All fully insured.
John Fishers building, next Moriar-
ty, slightly damaged.
This is the second siege of fire
through which Mcguire and Moriarty
have passed, the former in the great
one last year.
TIE fire is supposed to have origin
ated from a defective fue.
Too much praise cannot be bestow-
ed upon our noble Fire Company
They were on hand promptly, and by
hard work, patience, daring anu per-
severance, checked the march of the
fiery demon, and although the wind
was blowing a strong gale directly
north, and toward inflamable materi-
al, our brave boys stopped not at the
approach of flames, but dextrously
submerged the most imminent spots
in water, while the fire seemed to en-
wrap them, thus saving, no doubt, all
that west end. All praise to Fire
Company No. 1.

Of winter, and are glad to SEQ Joe.
