Mr.. Hull, who was arrested on the sup
position of his having stolen horse this
week, was last evening released. The man
who had his horse stolen arrived yesterday
to testify to the innocence of the prisoner.
The Union seems to think that Marshal
Weber has placed himself in quite di-
lemms by srresting an innocent man. 1t is
possible at least for them to have q wrong
idea of the matter We understand that the
officers did not make the arrest wholly upon
their own judgment, but consulted expert
enced horsemen as TO whether the animal in
question corresponded with the descriptin
given. There are extenusting circumstan
ces in the case which should be noted, we
think, before charging an officer with having
taken step not warranted by the facts
upon which he based his actions.

He pretends ond day that he has got the dyspep-
sis the next day liver complaint the next is
sick wita appetite-declsres th't there is
nothing on the table fit to eat, and 1t is
all nonsense, and nothing but his COMPOUNDED
ugliness. From the very bottom of my heart, /
believe he wants worry me to death.

wrong. No woman has . kinder more indul-
gent husband than you. / must confess that
have noticed change in Mr.. Smith but an in

if were you, l would not be day without
Plantation Bitters in the house. Make him take
them moderately three times a day, and in q
short time think you will see change My
experience Is that Plantation Btters is ond of the
best and most delicious tonics in the world and
that for nervousness, loss Of appetite, dyspepsia,
and all kindred complaints, there is nothing so

Uncle Sans works near the Islsnd wagon

purpose Of extending q wall of masonry

A canal about 1000 feet long by ITO feet
wide has to be excagated from the sohd

the progress of the work, it will be contln-
ued through portion of the winter.
The material excavased at present is being
ussd TO fill the Golfer dams. The men in

their work to the best advantage. To one
in full view of the canal works and the

our visitor the enterprise of our city. Com
ing to a store 10 front Of which was a great
crowd of people going aud coming, says he,
"Whst does all this mean ?'' "Why, that is
Bard's grocery store" From his question
one might have known that he was g
stranger. Everybody in this vicinity who
wants anything in the line of groceries
knows where to 60 for them, and where
they can get the best at the lowest prices.
JUBILEE.-The managers are receiving
the most encouraging reports from all di-
rections both as to the number of singers
who will be present, and visitors who will be
in attendance at the concerts of this musical
festival next week. The teachers and
scholars of 81. s. Perkins Academy of.
Music at Iowa City have accepted an invita-.
ton to attend and take part. large ex-
cursiou is coming from Clinton, Lyons and
Fulton to attend matinee Thursday after
noon, and everything indicates that this IN
dertaking is to be complete success.

PHILOSOPHICAL. To day We saw
juvenile Rock Island philosopher of rather
an imaginative turn of mind making some
calculations which may not be without in
terest to the reader. Pondering upon the
wonderful Improvements of the age by means
of which time and distance are almos,
annihilated, by singular association of
ideas he struck upon q train of thought which
resulted in the following calculation:
The earth and sun are connected BY an
electric cable the earth is ball in can.
non containing powder enough to throw it
to the sun with a velocity equal to that with
which it moves in its orbit. Every thing is
ready, let the signal be given. The electric
spark is applied announcing to the Sunites
the approach of the earth, at the same time
the latter starts upon its journey. The
telegram will be received in five minutes;
three minutes later the earth will be seen
emerging from the lannon's mouth; in two
months it will have arrived ct its destin alton
but the report of the cannon will not be
heard for Is years aud mouths.
