A handsome young Yankee ped

of Pennsylyania, but accompanied
his declaration with an allusion to
two impediments to their union.
.'Name Them" said the widow.
'The want Of means to set mp re-

They parted, and the widow sent
the peddler ample means. When
they met again the peddler had hired

DELEGATES FROM BLACK HAWK.

EDITOR or THE ARGUs.-The Liberals OF
Black Hawk met in strong force at Col.
John Diokson's office on Saturday evening
for consultation pertaining to political mat
ters and to choose delegates to the County
Convention. The following gentlemen were
chosen delegates WIN. Young, John A.
Boyer, John Dickson, Thos. Kerr, E. G
Spencer and B. @. FrySingsr. A general
expression Of fgeliag was made by those
present, and all seemed perfsetly satisfied
with the Liberal movement and determined
to do their utmost to Gust Mr.. Grant his
cousins and his entire army of relations from
the ship of State and set them adrift upon
the tranquil waters of Salt River.
Black Hawk is going to be redeemed next
November. Ever day brings new force into
the Liberal ranks. Quite q large number in
our town have privately expressed them
SELVES in favor of the Liberal party but re-
quest that Their names will not be made
public ct present.
Our postmaster is bad of; his petition for
continuance has been out solioitating signers
for several days, but he does not know which
party to solicit names from and so he takes
any that will sign.
Let our County Convention nominate a
good ticket, composed of our best citizens,
and we think out here that il is possible to
redeem Rock Island County. Such victory
is certainly within our reach If we bring out
the right men. MILAN, Aug. II.

AT the City Council meeting, to-day, the
the Library Association presented the City
with its entire stock, consisting Of about
2,l0O volumes, besides bound files Of
papers and other matter on the condition
that the City shall take care Of il, add to it
as may be thoughI necessary, aud make i;
free to all,-she Association plsdging it to
be free from debt or incumbrAncs of any
sort The Council unanimously accepted
the trust. Ii will probably be some little
time before proper rules and regulations can
be prepared and additions made. The
movement is a popular one and designed to
furnish q resort and reading for all laborers,
mechanics, apprentices, clerks and others
who wish to improve themselves, either by
reading in the library rooms, or taking
books to their homes Rock Island is thus
placed long way 10 advance of other
western towns in this respect, and We hope
and believe tina, the free library and reading
room will result in much good to all classes
of our people.

USIoN SQuARE.-The matter Of improving
Union Square is under consideration by our
authorities, and we believe that som eihiug
satisfactory will be accomplished. A side
walk, Ia fee, wide on Illinois street and II
feet wide on the other streets, and of 3 inch
plankI, will be laid, with 8 stringerG. This
will make a very solid and durable walk.
Various styles Of fence are talked of-Such
as iron posts and chains; wooden posts
andWirs wooden posts aud rails
common picket fence, and no
fence at all. In several of the small parks
on New York the fences have recently been
removed, the line of the ground and walks
being only marked BY curb stones and so
orderly and careful are the people that
neither grass or flowers are ever intruGsd
upon. lfpeople would not step on the grass
here, and there was no danger Of stock in =
truding, no fence would be necessary here.
Bat We presume those having the matter in
charge will come to some proper aud salts
factory conclusion and 20 on with the i'm.
prOvemsnt.
Not many years hence that square should
have in Its centre handsome City Hall
no. for pablo meetings, but for city Offices,

Headquarters, Police Court room, and all
other city Offices, and large hall for the

Thousands Of travellers by land and sea have
vouched for the efficacy OF Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters as preventative of the physical disturb
ance which ordinarily arise from change of climate
and the changes of diet, water, &c, incident to q
wandering life. Upon systems toned, invigorated
and regulated by the genial vegetable antidote the
external causes of debility and disease seems to
produce little or no effect. Forearmed with Hos
letters Biters the yoyager may bid defiance to sea
sickness and encounter the chilling fogs of the Brit
ish Isles the coast winds Of the Antilles the lev
temperature of Northern Alaska or the burning heat
of the tropics with equal impunity. The effect Of
this admirable medicated stimulant is greatly to
increase the vital energy of the system, thereby
enabling to resist and repel the exciting causes
