We occasionally hear of cases of pois-
oning by the Colorado Potato Bug. We
have some doubts in regard to the truth
of such reports. The millennium has
not yet come, and hence we have not
passed the days of superstition. Ento-
mologists say, and they ought to know
that the poisonous qualities of this bug
is to a great extent groundless; ; that il
is not as poisonous as the Canthari8-the
old black potato bug, commonly called
the blister-fy. Nevertheless, We would
not advise any one to eat them, mol
even to touch the nasty things.-[Ex.

MARITIME.

THIS celebrated magicIa introduced some
new phases OF magical illusion last evening
and contributed largely to the amusement o.
the immense audience by repeating some o.
his most difficult feats. The CAndcrbecks
performed their Classical selections, and BY
request re peated "Napoleons Grand March
a perfect masterpiece, and played as onl =
the Csnde-becks can play. The amusing
scenes in ventriloquism were repeated to the
immense delight Of the audience, and to the
sorrow OF the poor assistant" The dless
ing bureau was drawn by Miss frankie Lar
kin, residing on Rock River Street. One of
leading features of the entertainment was
the performance of the ''easy chair" trick by
Squire Cropper, in which the chair dissap.
peared from the gaze beneath voluminous
coat,ails. The Squire has no equal in the
performance of this difficult feat, and those
who did not see his first performance, should
not miss of attending his family matinee in
the Odd Fellow Hall, every afternoon until
further notice. Not the least part of the En-
tertainment is the music of Prof. Biehl's ex
cellcnt brass band. a free open air concer.
composed of operate selections, is given
every evening.
This evening new Programme will be
presented, an elegant French China, penuin.
gold band tea set, will be the leading pres

WHAT Is VHNUM VITE!

This wine is prepared to take the place Of
Whiskey and other spirits known to be made VI
OF Fusil Oil aud other deleterious articles. The
Wine of Life 10 distilled with great care, espec-
tally for those who require healthy stimulsnt
an for the use of Medical Men and Nurses in
the sick room, in place of the vilI2inous Brandy,
h1skey, and other Liquors n ow in use, and &c
often depended upon. In fact, 1t 10 a constant
complaint of Physicians in this country that il
is impossible to procure Brandy, Whskey and
Vino for their patients. We ask the Medi-
cal faculty and the public TO give Warmers Vim
um Vita or Wine of Life trial, and ask
chemists and physicians to analyzeit then speak
of it according to its merits, compare 1t with
Whiskey, Brandy, and other such articles, and
see the difference. If they find the Wine of Life
ID pure and wholesome, and the other Liquors
poisonous, (which they certainly will do,) then
they are morally bound to prescribe and recon-
mend the Wine of Life to their patients and
friends Is the best stimulant and tonic in use,
an d as q valusbie substitute for Whiskey and
Brandy; but should they find it not pure and
what the proprietors claim for it, let them pub
liciy denounce it. 1t is the Physicians duty to
learn and find out which is the most wholesome
stimulsnt for his patients, and to do so he must
examine andlook into the quality of each article,
and learn for himself if the Wine of Life has any
peculiar merits to warrant its general use. The
proprietors claim the Wine of Life to be more
wholesome and far superior and cheaper than
whiskey or brandy, or, in fact, any other article
10 common use, and ought to be used in every
family. Everybody should give it q trial. Its
q new thing, only been in use abo1t one year, yet
it has ALREADY gained great name and won-
derful sale, and whoever once tries il always
recommends il to his friends. 1t has the came
strength whiskey, but it is peculiarly pleasant

| COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SoCIETY.-The
| formation of a new agricultural society to
| take the place of the old society. The plan
| of organization on the basis of life mem Der.
ships seems to meet with universal favor
as doing away with the objectional features
OF the old society; by taking the control OF
affairs out of the hands of one man and plac-
ing them in the hands of the people, where
one can have as much to say as another
also by placing the society in such a con-
dition that no one man or set of men can
step in and buy up the society, and further !,
by interesting large number OF citizens and
tsrmers in the prosperity of the society and
the success of its exhibitions. There is no
good reason why there should not be held q
very successful fair here this year; one that
will be of great benefit to the place. We
have every ad vantage in the way of railroad
communication and hotel accommodations
for visitors from abroad, and properly con-
Quoted exhibition will draw thousands here.
Let good start be given to the new enter
prise this year and it will place the society
fairly on the road towards purchasing
grounds and establishing itself beyond the
possibility of failure. All this can Just as
we'll be done, as to pay three or four
thousand dollars to the State Society, that
proposes to come here and put the profits of
an exhibition into the pockets of the ring
that runs that institution. 1t may be a
good thing to say we have had the State
Fair, to have the place benefited by the
advertising it will receive from people who
may attend, but considering the condition OF
our home society, we can hardly afford to
subscribe from three to FIVE thousand dollars
to comply with the specifications demanded
by the society, and let them come here and
make an equal amount, which can lust as
well be made by home society, which
amount will 60 long way towards placing
the society upon q permanent and success
full basis. Again we say let there be a
good attendance at tie meeting at the City
Council Room on Saturday Of this week, at
2 o'clock P. NJ, that Ibis project may be
properly inaagurated and successfully
carried out. A unity Of action will secure
1t, and surely there can be none so opposed
to the best interest of the county, as to wish
different result.

A very reprehensible and useless effort to

FIRST place, the Germans of Davenport are
the most proscrip.ive radicals every time,
when 1t comes to voting. Again the Admin
istration has not Furnished arms to France,
but has cowardly refused to acknowledge the
brave little Republic OF France, fighting to
the bitter end against despo,ism, for the same
liberties that her brave sons helped the
colonies of America TO achieve. again, it
was Louis Napoleon and not the people-the
Republic of France otto day, that tried to
plant an empire along side ofthis country,
at the expense OF a republic and this same
Bismarck and William Rex, are now trying
to crush out the Republic of France, and
re establish Napoleon upon the throne OF
France. Some of the same Germans who
are now condemning this Government fol

who fed from .he tyranny of William Rex
whose cause they are now espousing. 1t is
true this Government forgeis tho Mexican
affair, and sympathizes and acts, as far es
ity, with the powers that are trying to rein
state the author of that Mexican affair
over the ruins of brave Republic, and
again enslave toe bravest people On the
face Of the earth to-day. Again 1t seems
strange to see exiles from tyranny, sympa

still, TO see writers who never drew anything
but the breath of liberty, forgetting the brave
people who helped their forefathers achieve
