ANOTHER ECLIPSE BY notice elsewhere
it will be seen that the city is to be shroud-
ed in darkness on and after Monday next,
by the closing of the gas works, all on
account of the city council attempting to
regulate the price of gas at a lower figure
than Mr.. Harper thinks consistent with his
interest. Will our aldermen permit this
inconvenience to the city and the large
number o. gas consumers? We would
suggest public meeting of those interest,
ed, and that they tell their representatives
how much they are willing to pay for gas,
or go without it. Mr.. Harper has at least
acted fairly in giving due notice, so that all
can invest from FIVE to ten or more dollars
in lamps. kerosene, c.HdIes, etc. Let us
gather pine knots, and by their Ggh, discuss
the relative rperits, prices included, of gas.
Now. Young folks, is the time for counting
But, joking aside-isn't this quarrelling
about prices useless. Don't the council
stand in their own or the peoples light?

10 Davenport, have been settled. The com.
mittee have issued the following bulletin,
which, we hear, is slightly ambiguous and
unsatisfactory to the worthy assemblsge of
tufthunters and quidnuncs:
DIFFICULTIES IN THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF
DAVENPORT.
1t gives US pleasure to say to all our
friends, that the unfortunate troubles in the
above named congregation have been fully
and amicably settled to the satisfaction of
all concerned. A full and minute examin-
alton of the whole matter was entered into
by the committee to whom it was referred,
as it related to Jonas Hartzell, the elders oil
the church and others involved. Each one
was heard fully and to his own satisfaction,
and after everything was thoroughly sifted,
all parties expressed an entire acquiescence
in the terms of the settlement.
