Decease Of ". q. DART.

A tslegraphic dispatch from Pueblo, Col. |
announces the death, at that place. on

His wife and childreniwere with him in

they are expected to arrive tomorrow

VIM. ii. was the third son of Henry
Dart, ESQ.,, and came with his father and
family to Rock Island about twenty years
ago, being at that time slender looking
but active and intelligent boy.
The old gentleman and his sons COM
menced business at once 10 the grocery
line, and from this beginning has resulted
the large and well known wholesale house
of Henry Darts Sons, of which the de
ceased was for many years an active and
efficient member.
i His health. though generally good ii
| his younger years, was never robust, anC
close attention to business together with 8
natural tendency TO pulmonary disease a
length compelled him to seek more genia
climate and relaxation from his customar!
labors. It was too late as it seems t
effect any permanent good, and he has sue
} cumbed to the inevitable lot of all man
kind.
He was gentleman Of undoubted busi
ness capacity, of irreproachable morals
and the strictest integrity. His loss vi
be greatly regretted by his friends as we
: as the business community.
Deceased was about 81 years of age a
5 the time of his death, and for the pas
year, was president of the Milan Pape
Company, and, as we understand, leave
his family, pecuniarily, in very comfortabl
circumstances.

Nice Young Men.

We give fair notice to all the nice young
men not to come to cur Office and ask the
favor Of not having their names appear in
print.

modesty which we don't appreciate It
any gre4t or small, old or young, have
done any thing Of sufficient Importance to
pc worthy Of notice they are very likely te
receive due attention. even if they are shy
of publicity. Young men, if you don't
want to be shown up in the papers don't
do anything under cover of darkness which
wont bear daylight.
1t is very fashionable for certain class
of young men to take "Will Honeycombe'
as their great example, and like him to
affect to have greater success in lines OF
moral depravity and youthful indiscretions
than they really ever attained to, but such
triumphs are neither creditable or to be
hidden. 1t is a thousand times better to
be "outrageouslv virtuous" and "coldly
correct" than to pride yourselves on "a
knowledge of the world" obtained under
circumstances which you would blush to
have generally known.
We let you off this time, young man,
without giving your name, or intimatlng
what you were doing, but it wont be saie
to ask US to do such favor a second time,
