II is stated from Washington that the main
object of the Senatorial Mexican excursion
party is to see if the graves of American SOL
diers killed in the Mexican war are properly
cared for.
A band of Mexican outlaws recently made a
dash across the Rio Grande near Corpus Christi
Texas, robbed several stores and houses, and
took large number Of American prisoners,
among them Judge Gilpin, formerly member of
the Legislature, and two women. They COM
PEELED the captives to walk in front of them till
they were exhausted and then mounted them
on bareback horses, and hurried them off,
They robbed and burned the Postoffice at
Nueces, and robbed and took prisoner one mail
rider. There is considerable indignation at
Washington over the affair, and it is given out
that immediate steps will be taken for dealing
summarily with these Mexican raiders. Those
best conversant with affairs apprehend that
general border war will ensue in which event
the invasion of Mexico by our armed citizens
in pursuit of robbers, is not among the imyroba-
bilties.

Rock Island, June 80, 1875.

A sewing machine man in Creston,
Iowa. named Allen, has wife who don't
allow young farmers to bow and wink at
her, The other day young farmer was
driving into town, with his wife, in their
farm wagon. and as they drove along the
street the young farmer saw pretty lead
sticking out of window, with eyes in it
which stared at him. He was susceptible
and cast back amorous glances. While bis
wife was engaged in looking forward, he,
like Lots frail companion, looked back,
gently touched his hat and gave her a
wink. Then pursuing his way he went uI
town where he made his purchases and
then drove leisurely back the way he came.
When opposite to the house where Mrs
Allen lived, he was encountered by the fe.
male in question, who came rushing out
with her little pistol, exclaiming that she
was going to shoot him. Hastily applying
the whip to his horses he endeavored tt
escape, but the ferocious female levelec

of his horses in the hind leg. The team
was by this time thoroughly frightened ant

ering rage, fourishing her implement O.
death.
She was afterwards arrested and fnet
twenty-five dollars. The citizens are con
siderably excited over the affair and de
nounce the slight measure of the woman
punishment, as an outrage and mocker.

reason why bank, when legal holiday

He cannot be required to pay it on Fri

if the bank is closed. 1t cannot be pro-
tested if he is ready to pay at maturity

Common Robbers.

There are hands of boys going around
the streets of this city, regardless of law,
the dignity of the people, and common
decency, peddling their internal noise
day and night to the annoyance Of every
sober person, and nobody lnterteres to
hinder. If a man attempts to peddle a
thing in the streets of Rock Island he is i'm
mediately called upon for license. Why
shall these niggers be allowed to peddle
the streets when others are not? One OF
those young scamps is undoubtedly kept
by some vag who lays around salo-
ons and trains him to rob people on the
streets, by pretending to fiddle and dance
for moment, then nail some person by
the coat tail and pull and haul until he

went around the corners the man trying to
get away in disgust, the boy hanging on and

cramped seven ways for Sunday. Why
don't the.police see where those little devils
belong and who is sending them upon the
public streets to cry for more nickels and
impose upon innocent people?

the newspaper box to be removed from. the

for that far endeavoring to accommodate

he had placed the newspaper box one door

That Seduction Case.

The examination of witnesses in the case
of Hans Jacob Hansen. charged with Sc
ducing his young sister-in-law, took place
this morning before Justice Viele, and was
of such a nature as left no doubt of the
guilt of the defendant. Details of evidence
we omit,-this city is not yet metropolitan
lied enough-sufice it. the Justice felt
bound to hold the defendant. By agree.
ment between the counsel, the bail Of Hansen
was fixed at $500, his father-in-law signing
his bail bond. In return for this, Hansen
gives his father-in law a mortgage on his
crops. And they all returned home again.
Truly this remarkable case furnishes no
parallel, and charity predominates in the
breast of that father and father in-law.-
