GENTLEMEN, if you wish for a fashionable suit of clothes, go to Erskine’s and have them made.
ALL IN WANT of Ready Made Clothing had better call on Erskine before buying elsewhere. He is selling very low.
SOMETHING NEW in the way of wall paper is coming, and will be opened at Plummer’s, No. 50 Brady street, in two or three days. Look out for the finest patterns ever seen in this part of the country.
COMING UP TOWN. – Der Demokrat, following the example of its cotemporaries, has taken a start up town. Yesterday the office of that paper was removed to the corner of Second and Main streets, in McManus & Shepherd’s building. Hey have more space and a more accessible location than formerly.
SHIPMENTS BY RAILROAD. – The shipments from Davenport by C. & R. I. RR. For the week, ending April 26, were as follows: flour, 2,400 brls.; wheat, 3,200; barley, 5,000 bu.; bran, 60 tons; onions; 600 bu.; live hogs; 160; tallow, 7,100 lbs. Value of shipments, about$16,000.
OFF FOR PIKE’S PEAK. – Our young friend, Mr. F. H. Impey, left for Pike’s Peak yesterday morning, to try his luck gold-hunting. – He goes with Mr. D. Barnes, of Rock Island, who has been at the Peak before. I number of persons from Davenport and Rock Island are in the party. We wish Frank good luck, and hope that he’ll come back with enough of the shining stuff to start a bank – not a rag-mill, but a specie paying concern.
A RICH SCENE occurred yesterday afternoon on Main street, near Third, at the Agricultural Machine manufactory. It appears one of our worthy constables levied on some machines, a portion of the materials in which had been levied on by the sheriff. One of the deputy sheriffs, hearing of it, came down to the place, and unlocked the door, which has previously been fastened whereupon the constable and assistant entered and manifested a disposition to remain. Supper cam, and Mr. Sheriff felt the gnawing of appetite, and wanted Mr. Constable to evacuate. Constable “didn’t see it” that way; in fact seemed disposed to abide permanently where he was. Deputy suggested forcible means might be adopted. Constable gave the world to understand that dothing short thereof would seduce him out at present. Deputy accordingly summoned assistance; Constable ditto; and both went to work, and pretty soon all parties found themselves outside the house, but soon got in again, each yelling lustily for a posse. A reinforcement of one soon arrived for each side and the war was renewed, when, after considerable tossing and tumbling, the Constable and his party were thrust into the street, vi et armis, and the establishment was locked up; leaving the constable to meditate on the declining glory of the sun and that of the constabulary at the same time.
MELODEONS. – By for the best Melodeons in the United States (and, for aught we know, in the world,) are those manufactured by Geo. A. Prince & Co., of Buffalo, N. W. This is the universal testimony of the public, and more especially of the musical portion of it. With wonderful genius and ingenuity, Mr. Prince has, year after year, adapted the capacity of his Melodeon to all of the new developments in the art of music. We can scarcely remember the list of his innovations – “Graduated Swells,” “Divided Swells,” “Improved Valves,” etc. The firm have a branch at 43 Lake Street, Chicago, to which we recommend all of those at the West who desire to buy an instrument which is the best.
HOUSE FOR RENT, containing seven rooms, good cellar, well and cistern; good barn and outhouses; large lot, plenty of shrubbery, &c. Inquire at I. W. Harrison, land agent. dlw.
MARRIED. At Quincy, Ill., on the 24th inst., by Rev. Joseph Warren, Mr. THEODORE T. DWIGHT, of this city, to Miss HELEN V., daughter of Hon. W. A. Richardson.
DIED. On Saturday, 26th inst., at North Davenport, of quick consumption, ISABELL, daughter of Franklin and Hannah Fearing, aged 21 years and 8 months.
