Sunday last a venerable German,
who had safely crossed the ocean,
and continent, thus far, came to Full
ton from New York by the through
express, crossed the smiling river,
and walked up the Lyons levee
towards his friends who were there

a word of greeting could be spoken
by either, the aged man tottered, fell
down, and expired without a struggle.
No one but Lam artine, whose pen
wept tears instead of ink could por-

his friends. The coroner concluded
that old age, WEAKNESS: and excite

The physicians and surgeons Of
Davenport are in state of wonder
tul excitement over the remarkable
recovery ola girl named Mary Black
mer, in the Orphans Home at that
city, who had been terribly afflicted
with malady known as the disease
Of the cerebelialna. This caused her
to lose control over her equilibrium
and motion. She had been under
the treatment of the most experience
ed physicians of that place, but none
of them could give her any relief.
On Wednesday of last week she arose
from her bed, and, to her own aston
ishment, found that she had complete
control of her limbs. All were sur
prised to see her run up and down
the stairs with all the agility Of youth
and good health, and was found to
be entirely cured. 1t is reported that
several medical professors from the
East have been sent for to examine
the recovered young lady.

The Register considers it "signal
omen of Increasing good" that a pro-
posed declaration in favor of liquor
license law was chOked down and re-
iected in the late Democratic Con-
veLtion of Iowa. We would thiuk
so too, if we could believe that there
was any sincerity in that action of
the Convention. But the truth was
merely that the Convention had just
put on the Republican lions hides,
and choked down that License reso.

to let the Democratic ears stick

The Dubuque Herald has the fol-
lowing picture of the horrible : "One
Patrick Carroll of Bellevue, form erly
farmer, and reputed in good fnan.
cial circumstances, was found dead
in his bed on Monday morning last,
and in one corner Of the same room
lay his wife dead-drunk, and in her
pocket was found the bottle, with the
departed contents of which she had
wooed intoxication at the hour when
every true wifely instinct would have
kept her eyes open and weeping with
solicitude for a husband whose death
was anticipated, and possible at any
moment. The deceased lost his first
wife some time since, and married
the one who drank while he was
dying, subsequently at st. Louis. She
had, it seems, threatened to leave
the farm and move to town. Further
comment is needless. The immedi-
ate death Of Mr.. Carroll was apo
plexy."
